Sun in 9th House synastry relationships are marked by common interests in philosophy, higher education, religion, etc. The partners often travel together. New pages of knowledge, constant grandiose plans, and ideas, all sorts of cultural issues, as well as commonplace life problems — all these are at the core of this relationship.
This synastry is usually so benevolent that, even with negative aspects, disagreements can most often be overcome by the philosophical and religious worldview of both personalities.

Sun in 9th House Synastry Explained
Sun in 9th House synastry is not the most intimate aspect; the will of this partner, even if seeming completely clear, will always contain some kind of incomprehensible shade. Their life’s occupation (as long as the partner realized him- or herself in it at least to some extent, will seem something distant, mysterious and inaccessible.
In a bad relationship, your mutual understanding with a Sun in Ninth House synastry partner will be broken because you are not inclined to perceive even the simplest initiatives of the partner as they intended them. Instead, you’ll double-check for double meaning, and you’ll usually find it quickly, and it’ll be very unpleasant, and you’ll blame the partner for it. Moreover, even the expression of the will of the partner not directly related to me (for example, their activity at work), can be perceived as participation in a sect, mob organization, etc., and it will be very difficult for the partner to convince you otherwise.
Working out Sun in 9th House synastry takes place differently for me and my partner. The latter must understand that they can play the role of an esoteric teacher in the areas hidden from you; the challenge here is to avoid profanity, turning the process into a teaching of the Third House.
You, on the other hand, must (1) assess the capabilities of the partner as an esoteric teacher or a highly specialized coach, and (2) apply a sufficient amount of your own will to benefit from their teaching. This is how foreign languages should be taught: the teacher can explain the basics, but the student must still learn tens of thousands of words and read many books, all on his or her own personal energy.
