Whether through engaging in art, music, dance, or other forms of creative expressions, here we discover the ways a native might showcase their unique perspectives and talents, while fostering authentic empowerment along the way to alleviating life's stressors...
Fifth House: Creativity/Enjoyment/Passions in Life
Aries ... This house association is all about embracing the physical!! There is nothing quite like having a fire sign in your ‘House of Fun.' There is an exuberance that comes with Aries-in-the-Fifth personalities so hiking, kayaking, and sex are all on the table for them... Really anything that gets their blood pumping will be preferred and great for this part of their spirit... There lies a will to seek out excitement in rowdy, if not dangerous ways with this placement. Whether it's them enthusiastically trying something for a first-time lay or partaking in a ritual that has been known to pump adrenaline... Think of childhood... The thrill of jumping off the trampoline in the face of fear the first time, or climbing that large oak down the street, making it all the way to the top faster than anyone else…. It is this spirit that lives here.
It will be most essential to never forget this part of themselves, as to do so would be a travesty to one’s chance at enjoying life. These are not your personalities that will be happy getting lost in books, rather they are the characters books are written about. The travelers, the adventurers...
Taurus ... Having earthy Taurus in the Fifth sees jovial experiences found through the tangible world ... This often presents itself in persons who have wonderful ability/talents in the musical arts or other ways to be creatively expressive. It also happens to be a position of somebody who is prone to overcompensate in order to cover emotional issues though... As Taurus is a sign that deals in the creature comforts of luxury and food, these personalities are drawn to self soothe by emotionally eating or spending frivolously in search of putting a Band-Aid on issues they have been and would rather leave unresolved.
Gemini ... Those that have been blessed with Gemini holding sway over their Fifth House tend to know from an early age what their true aspirations are and motives behind... These are individuals that love the art of chit chat, find it easy to be around children or young adolescents, and their need to express themselves artistically makes them wonder creatrix. Often using the art of conversation in an intense manner to provoke others, in which they find merriment...
There are always two sides to a Gemini though and there needs to be a balance struck between gossiping for fun and constructively getting one's point made.
Cancer ... This is a placement that invites love, compassion, and creativity to the forefront of what brings the native bliss... Family will carry a high value here as Cancer energy is forever devoted to nurturing, those that are blood or whom they see as family... Therefore, it's influence in the house than directs their happiness in profound ways...
These individuals can derive fulfillment in the simplest of pleasures, they needn't a high-paced, action-packed life, rather a simple, peaceful, afternoon surrounded by friends, family, and refreshments will be very pleasing to them.
Leo ... Individuals with 'The Lion' in their Fifth need to have room to grow and express themselves.... To have fun and be happy they need invigorating environments and a stage to display their talent upon.... No matter the gender of the person, the duality of the constellation makes this placement lend a masculine energy to one's personality.... Strong and vibrant, they have a gravity that pulls people to them. Here will be no shrinking violets when it's time to be imaginative or enjoy the moment!
Virgo ... To have practical Virgo here shows a love to detail, not surprising, but in manual labor as well as speech. Getting their hands dirty, while on the surface not a typical Virgo trait, allows them a real sense of pride through a transformation. (i.e. gardening, the act of turning soil and seeds into a blossoming yard or running their fingers through piles of books/across keys to draft the perfect email, novel, etc.) The sense of accomplishment is when the joy takes over. The only real drawback here is one can get lost in perfection or drawn to people and projects that will always be in a state of brokenness. This will eat at them, and they will find a hard time setting boundaries or letting go if the energies are no longer healthy. It is especially important when having this placement to take note of where the Moon sits as well as the Seventh House (Partnerships), in order to be aware of pitfalls possible on the road to self-care, and mutual fulfillment.
Libra ... To see the zodiac that oversees relationships and harmony set in one's 'House of The Child' showcases a person who can find happiness and fulfillment through their inner circle. In the young adult years this is usually the best buddies arena. As a matured adult, more so in significant relationships... This is wonderful but it does present a challenge in that if they become too caught up in how their interpersonal relationships affect them, they can lose a sense of self-identity... It is important then to have a strong center and happiness with self for these personalities as to not rely on relationships to be the sold bringer of joy... With that said, this is a great placement for marriage and love because it shows one's ability to recognize true love when it is reciprocated and really foster its growth.
Scorpio ... Intensity, Intensity, Intensity! Deep water ruling over how fun sits within the hierarchy of internal importance in one's life often finds a native grasping for something unattainable... It becomes hard to experience ultimate joy because they are seeking an all-consuming perfected ecstasy. These are sensitive, deep, emotional people that long for transcendence within all life experiences. If you want to show someone with a Fifth House in Scorpio a good time, take them to a weird, occult-like exhibit… Having a spiritual experience with them that shows pure vulnerability will do the ticket as well opening up about ancestors and past lives. These individuals are no stranger to profound ties to the past and live to share their eccentric side.
Sagittarius ... Individuals with this placement have an immense love for theology, traveling, and all things academia making them wonderful students as their minds are always open to new and wide perspectives... They tend to remain childishly optimistic/enthusiastic about life long into their old age which can make others discount them at times. Despite this, their love of life and inspiration flourishes regardless of the ridicule, as does a belief in Divine blessings which carries them through moments of doubt... These natives will sense a strong need to establish a meaningful connection to Gaia alongside their own philosophies of life in order to find enjoyment during their journey under the stars in this lifetime.
Capricorn ... Hard-working as Capricorn can be makes the assignment of a Fifth House in this earth sign a rather tough placement. It shows up as individuals who often find it a struggle to enjoy fun or carefree activities because they're so stressed about the rest of their lives. There tends to be too much emphasis on planning life instead of enjoying it... They will be forced to take lesson in spontaneity from time to time, bringing focus to their spiritual life. Whether they are religious or not, it will offer them a sense of peace and releasement of any tension they hold in their bodies which brings with it a host of health problems.
Aquarius ... The energy of Aquarius is progressive and innovative at all times... When mixed with the Fifth House it shows itself as a bit of a gambling personality, one that by some people's standards, holds strange priorities to what's important in order to enjoy life…. That stems from the fact these people tend to dream big... It can sometimes be hard for them to express themself fully to those with narrower minds and thus find it challenging to share who they are authentically or their vision. While the concepts can be somewhat abstract for them, the ideals of true love, friendship, and a belief in a Higher Source get them through any struggles allowing them to remain positive when they test their luck on expensive ideas....
Pisces... This zodiacal association can have extreme highs or extreme lows ... Pisces is a sign consumed with all things love, 'the feels,' and intuitiveness.... Many psychics, mediums, and empaths happen to be Pisces suns or moons. Therefore, with the Fifth taping into one's more creative side, how these souls express themself to the world and what they find fun ties heavily into feeling elation. They want a high. Whether it is provided by profound spiritual awareness or dopamine kicks, it is very important for holders with this placement to be in love with life!
If their confidence is ever injured in their 'happily ever after' being possible it could be incredibly handicapping for these natives.... These personalities are easily swayed by outside forces that can fill a void in such a case and may turn to unhealthy behaviors as a way to mask their dissatisfaction... Not all turn to drugs/alcohol as an escape, but it is common for this placement to find comfort in such places, seeking to provide a synthetic answer to the happiness they chase.
Look for the continuation of this series forthcoming...
