House 5

The fifth house describes what gives you pleasure and what you create: hobbies, budding romance, play, art, children. It’s the house of the heart expressing itself without calculation.

The fifth house covers everything you do for the sheer joy of it: painting, dancing, flirting, playing, getting on stage, throwing a party. It speaks of love affairs in their early days, while you’re still courting each other, and of your relationship with children, real or symbolic, like a work you bring into the world. Planets in the fifth house give a strong need for self-expression. The Sun invites you to shine, Venus to love beauty and romance, Saturn to take creativity very seriously, sometimes to the point of not letting yourself create at all. With no planet in the fifth house, joy doesn’t vanish: it flows through the sign that opens the house and its ruling planet, which show where and how you find pleasure.
