The Fifth House |
|
|
|
 |
The Fifth House in the horoscope is essentially the fun house and
where we want to express ourselves as something special. Part of our character
develops from the things we find to do or see that makes us feel good. What
makes us feel good helps us to relax and allow for the creative side to establish
itself so that we can go beyond the immediate reality and analytical thinking
and etch out a special corner where our self expression can be released.
It opens the door to giving ourselves in some way. |

Entertainment for ourselves or others falls into that
realm and so acting, being on stage or watching others on stage is part of
that 'creativity'. Through acting or watching someone else act, we can become
or experience different facets of character which we would not display under
normal everyday situations. Creating can also involve establishing an environment
where we can relax and play. Those can be places we like to go on vacation
or special things we like to do or see such as sports or museums The zodiac
sign on the cusp and any planets in the 5th House will provide characteristic
insight into those areas. Taurus may enjoy spending money at the mall. Aquarius
may find pleasure in electronic games. Sagittarius may like vacations that
are in foreign countries or far from home while Cancer may prefer to stay
near the house. Mars is a good indicator for enjoying sports while Saturn
can suggest that teaching is a form of enjoyment. Gemini can indicate a love
of short trips or in writing. |

Things that we enjoy can also become hobbies; such as
painting or stamp collecting or singing or sports. The sign on the cusp will
provide the clues as well as planets within the house. At times, hobbies
turn into a self-owned business venture. As a person branches out in this
direction, they take risks; financially and well as emotionally. It takes
money to start a business venture and your emotions are involved because
your 'creation' is in front of the public to either accept or turn down.
In any case, the 5th House covers speculations from gambling to stock market
investments to business ventures. |

One of the ultimate forms of creating is having children
and so the 5th House covers children in general as well as our own. The sign
on the cusp or planets in the house can describe how you feel toward children
or even describe your child. Capricorn on the cusp may indicate a very shy
and insecure child or that you are very disciplined with children. Pluto
may suggest a need to control the child while the Moon may indicate an emotional
child or a parent who mothers too much. Jupiter can suggest spoiled children
while Gemini can show an intellectual approach to kids. |

Because creativity and speculation can be on an emotional
level, the heart or love given is part of this house. Love given is seen
as love affairs, not sexual affairs. Through the opening of the heart in
finding joy in things we do, we also find people that we enjoy being with
and becoming involved on a deeper emotional level. The sign on the cusp and
planets within the 5th house shows your attitude toward love affairs or
characteristics that are expressed when in love. Pisces may wear rose colored
glasses or be very romantic. Virgo may be earthy but pessimistic. Leo may
be a show off while Libra can take an artistic approach. Regardless of the
sign on the cusp, this is the house where we want to express ourselves in
some special way so as to reinforce for ourselves that we are unique and
exceptional in some way. |
