The Moon in the ninth denotes changes in ninth house affairs. If well aspected, improvement and benefits, but if evilly aspected, not the position of the aspecting planet, and judge accordingly.

CHAPTER XVII
The tenth house has special reference to the King, or ruler of the Country, President, Czar, Viceroy, Governor-General, according to whatever country is concerned. It rules also the Government, Royalty, nobility and the upper ten, National honour and reputation.
It is a most important house, probably the most important of all, and the planetary positions should be very carefully noted. An eclipse falling in the tenth house, whether solar or lunar, is generally attended with disastrous results.
The Lunation therein, well aspected, denotes honour to the King and country, strengthens the hands of the Government, and enables the ruling authorities to hold their own. But if afflicted, it denotes illness and sometimes death among Royalty and the nobility, serious troubles to the Government, and loss of national honour and repute. An eclipse in the midheaven is a sign of the defeat of the Government.
The Sun in the tenth house, well aspected, is favourable for the King, denoting popularity. It also benefits the Government, but if afflicted it denotes illness and death in Royal circles, among the nobility and upper ten, also difficulties to the Government and danger of defeat.
The Moon in the tenth, well aspected, will make the King and Government popular, and benefit the Ruling Powers, but if much afflicted shows scandals in high life, unpopularity of the Government. Some eminent lady will suffer.
Mercury in the tenth, well aspected, points to activity in high life and Government circles, travelling by Royalty, but if afflicted, denotes many difficulties, disgrace to public officials, and scandals in high places.
Venus in the tenth shows many public functions, Royal ceremonials, marriages in high life, but, if afflicted, illness and death of ladies of title, or among Royalty, also scandals and disgraceful occurrences among the upper ten.
Mars in the tenth is an evil position, more so if afflicted, as it often points to war, especially if ruling the seventh house. It shows illness and death in Royal circles and high life, much trouble to the Government, and many difficulties for them to contend with. If well aspected by the Sun or Moon, it shows military activity, and in the event of actual warfare, denotes victory.
Jupiter in the tenth is favourable for the Government, increases the National honour and dignity, and denotes that the affairs of the country will proceed smoothly and satisfactorily. If afflicted, it shows financial difficulties, and probably the death of notable people.
Saturn in the tenth is an evil position, for it denotes disgrace, disasters, and many misfortunes and troubles to Royalty, the Government, prominent people, and those in Authority. Deaths of eminent people, illness and death among Royalty, especially if Saturn afflicts the Sun.
Uranus in the tenth shows sudden and unexpected developments in Government circles, which will require careful management, or defeat and resignation will ensue. It denotes attacks against Royalty, outrages; if much afflicted, it generally causes great troubles in tenth house affairs.
Neptune in the tenth is an evil influence, pointing to socialistic agitation against the King and Government, scandals among the Smart Set, disgrace to notable people, and many episodes of a nature which reflect but little credit on the Nobility.
CHAPTER XVII
THE eleventh house has special reference to Parliament, the House of Commons, parliamentary debates, legislation, and to members of the House.
When a benefic is placed in this house, it shows that parliamentary affairs will proceed smoothly and satisfactorily; but if a malefic be placed therein, it will tend to trouble, and the illness and deaths of members.
The Lunation falling in the eleventh house shows changes, and parliamentary activity. If well aspected, it will bring beneficial legislation according to the house in which the aspecting planet is placed; but if afflicted, it denotes disputes and difficulties in accordance with the position of the aspecting planet.
The Sun placed in the eleventh house shows a dignified attitude, beneficial legislation, mostly affecting Imperial interests, and success in the work of Parliament. If afflicted, it will bring indisposition and the deaths of members, and many difficulties and troubles.
The Moon in the eleventh house is not an important influence. If afflicted, it shows changes in the Cabinet, dissensions and disagreements among members, also sickness or indisposition.
