You can be short-tempered with children, lacking patience, and your own children can be high energy and willful. 5th House in Taurus You have an appreciation for beauty, and prefer hobbies that stimulate your senses. Free time for you can consist of just lounging around and being lazy. In love, you require lots of affection, and want someone to dote on you. You can spoil your children, give them lots of material items, but have a hard time dealing with them if they turn out to be very different from you. 5th House in Gemini You prefer intellectual hobbies, ones where you can utilize your mind, especially in creative ways. In love, you like variety, and will date around before you decide to settle down with anyone. You need love to be fun, light, and carefree.

You can have a secret creative side to you though, and can find it easier to express yourself through creative ventures. In love, you’re quite emotional, and need to learn how to manage that before you have a healthy relationship.

In love, you’re picky, and don’t want to settle for anything less than your perfect mate. You take a logical, analytical approach to dating. You can be too critical of your children, and need to be more understanding. 5th House in Libra You prefer hobbies where you can do things with other people. You may be creative, but you need other people to tell you that you’re talented in order for you to think that about yourself. You try to strike a balance between work and play. In love, you need someone who is charming and polite, but you can have a hard time choosing someone. You’re fair with your children, and try to understand them as well as you can. 5th House in Scorpio You’re interested in getting to the heart of subjects and people, and prefer hobbies where you can do research and figure out mysteries. Science can be of interest. Whatever your hobbies are, you can get obsessed with them at times. In love, too often you want to change your partner, and are overly emotional or possessive. You need a cooler head. You’re protective of your children, but can have a hard time letting them go. 5th House in Sagittarius You love fun, and need to have time in your life for your hobbies and to do whatever you want.

You treat your children with respect and understanding, but can spoil them at times. 5th House in Capricorn You can view your free time as simply more time for you to get work done.

You’re strict with your children, but you can also teach them a lot. 5th House in Aquarius Your hobbies tend to be unusual in some way, and you do things that are radically different from everyone else. You’re up for experimentation, and willing to try almost anything once. In love, you like to keep it casual for a while, preferring friendship first, and aren’t much of a conventional romantic. You let your children be independent and original, and they may be rebels. 5th House in Pisces You need hobbies that allow you to fully express your creativity, but it can be difficult for you to figure out what you should do. You need to remove any blocks and let yourself go. In love, you can have a hard time figuring out what you want, and be attracted to people who need to be saved or who will save you. You’re willing to do whatever it takes for your children, but you can sacrifice too much. Natal Planets in the 5th HouseNatal Sun in the 5th house
With your natal Sun in the 5th house, expressing yourself in some way is of the utmost importance to you. If you don’t feel as though you’re truly expressing yourself, you feel stifled and unhappy. You want to be seen and heard, and to get attention from others, so you’re drawn to the spotlight, and can go into the arts, especially theater, film, or sports. You tend to have a happy personality and you’re so pleasant to be around that you’re always surrounded by people. You like being social, having many acquaintances you can spend time with, and love going to parties, out to dinner or shopping, and having fun. You also want to have and be loved in your life, and that can drive you in many ways. Natal Moon in the 5th House This can be a highly creative placement. The Fifth House loves to create things, and with the Moon here, it becomes an emotional need to create. This usually manifests as artistic creativity, and many actors, singers, artists, and the like have Fifth House Moons or prominent Fifth Houses. Hobbies can be central, and you need a certain amount of time to be able to pursue your own interests, otherwise you won’t be a happy camper. Expressing yourself is something that you feel you absolutely have to do or you’ll just burst apart, and there may be times where you’re quite the drama queen. A Fifth House Moon is also usually good with children, though you may become attached in unhealthy ways. You’re also very emotional in romantic relationships, and can become attached to romantic partners quickly, so be sure to choose people wisely before you really get involved. There’s nothing wrong with being friends first, though some of you may have a hard time not being in a relationship, being “in love with love.” You can also be easily influenced by other people, so you may need to learn to be more discriminating. Those with very difficultly aspected Moons may have to watch for problems with gambling and negative risk-taking. Natal Mercury in the 5th House With your natal Mercury in the 5th house, you can be a lively communicator. You have a great sense of humor, and are a fun person to be around. This is an excellent position for a comedian, impersonator, or actor. You can also be good at lying, and don’t see it as a negative thing. You can also make a good writer or speaker with your flair for words. If you have children, you want them to be intellectually talented. In love, you’re attracted to people who have strong intellectual abilities and connect with you mentally. Mercury is a dual planet, so this can show being attracted to or in love with two people at once. You can also play the field, or be drawn to people younger than yourself. Natal Venus in the 5th House With your natal Venus in your 5th house, love is important to you, and you crave attention and affection. You always have a crush on someone, and your approach is light and playful. The kid in you is always ready to play. You find pleasure in indulging your senses, and you’re attracted to the arts, and may be quite creative yourself. You may be a little too dramatic at times in love, but it’s an attempt to get more attention. With your charm, they’ll give you plenty, so you don’t need to go overboard. You tend to be good with kids, and you give lots of affection to your children. Natal Mars in the 5th House With your natal Mars in your 5th house, you’re a highly creative person and have a lot of energy for your hobbies, and you may have a lot of hobbies. You may love sports or have athletic ability. You can be child-like at times, competitive, and have a lively personality, always wanting to perform for people. You could be inclined towards show business because of that. Love and romance are important for you, and you’re always trying to have more of it in your life. If you have children, they can have a lot of energy and enthusiasm, a little Mars energy. Natal Jupiter in the 5th House With your natal Jupiter in your 5th house, you’re likely very creative, and focused on your hobbies and the things that you enjoy. You want to do what you want, when you want, and aren’t a fan of responsibility. You can date a lot since the 5th house rules love and romance, and believe that you’re in love all of the time, falling in and out of love many times, and not taking it all that seriously. The 5th house also rules children, so you could have many children, be like a parent to many children, or have children that display Sagittarius traits. Natal Saturn in the 5th House With your natal Saturn in your 5th house, you have a hard time having fun or being spontaneous. You’re not a party animal. Something holds you back and stops you from having the kind of fun that you’d like to have. Once you remove that block, you can learn to let loose and enjoy yourself. Until then, you’re serious and all about work. You can have a dud of a love life, not being all that romantic, and don’t like dating too much. You have more conservative views when it comes to dating, and just need to find someone who feels the same way, and who doesn’t mind your serious nature. The 5th house rules children, so for some, this could mean having children who are Saturn-like (serious, responsible, mature, or restricted), having difficulty having children, or having them later in life. Natal Uranus in the 5th House With your natal Uranus in your 5th house, you’re creative and like to do things your own way. Change comes easy for you, and it’s almost inspirational. The 5th house rules love, and you can date unusual people, have unusual relationships, start relationships fast and end them just as quickly, and be attracted to original people. You need a certain amount of freedom in love, otherwise you’ll run away when you feel stifled. You’re charming and can attract many suitors, though you can keep them at a distance emotionally. Your hobbies may be unconventional, and you go into everything you try with enthusiasm. If you have children, they can be unusual, original, innovative, or rebellious. Natal Neptune in the 5th House With your natal Neptune in your 5th house, you’re creative and artistic, and are easily inspired. You want to express yourself creatively or through the arts, and this is a good placement for an artist, musician, or actor. You’re a compassionate person when it comes to children, and can care for them. When it comes to love, you’re romantic and dreamy, having a perfect version of what you want in your mind, and that may have a hard time translating into real life. You may have trouble seeing romantic partners for who they really are, and fall for people who are no good for you, who tear you down, or who you need to save. You need to lower your expectations and not bring so much chaos into your love life. Natal Pluto in the 5th House With your natal Pluto in your 5th house, you’re a highly creative person and put a lot of time and energy into your creative pursuits, as long as you don’t let fear hold you back. You’re passionate and intense in love, and tend to be attracted to powerful people, but need to be careful of being trapped in love relationships that have unhealthy power and control issues. You can be jealous in love, making you possessive. You don’t take matters of the heart lightly. You can also be passionate about having children. Transit Planets in the 5th HouseTransit Sun in the 5th House
With the transit Sun in your 5th house, your focus is on fun. You don’t want to sit around, work, or deal with serious issues. Engage in your favorite hobbies, go out with friends, attend parties, and go on dates. You’re a little more daring and a lot more enthusiastic about life. You seem more friendly and outgoing, and you come across as warm and funny. You want attention, and you can get it. You may be a little more dramatic and theatrical with your behavior, but you’re just living life to the fullest right now, experiencing and enjoying as much as you can, and you want everyone to get in on it with you so you have company. Transit Moon in the 5th House Being social makes you feel good, and you feel more connected with others when engaging in creative pursuits or just playing around, having fun. Spending time out of the house, doing something fun is usually wanted with the Moon in the Fifth House. Whatever you find that’s fun and gives you a reprieve from stress is what you want to do most. This should be a fun time of the month for all if handled well. You’re more creative, in tune with your emotions and channeling them through creative outlets. You may be in the mood for love and romance, and want to spend time being romantic with someone special. Your children may be more emotional, or may make you more emotional, or you could have a stronger desire for children or to spend time with children. Laziness can set in with this transit in regards to your daily responsibilities, choosing to just play rather than work. That’s fine if it’s the weekend. Playing hooky isn’t always good when you’re grown up. You could also overindulge in things not-so-good for you, so watch yourself a little bit. There can be a greater chance of getting approval from others to secure your sense of self. Transit Mercury in the 5th House With transit Mercury in your 5th house, you’re much more creative than usual. You can do excellent work on creative projects, but have a hard time focusing on real work. You just want to play. You’re more sociable and friendly, have a good sense of humor, and have a plan for a good time. If single, you could meet someone through the internet, a neighbor, a sibling, or in your community, and they could be younger than you or have a youthful personality. If you have children, this is a good time to sit down and talk with them about their thoughts and feelings. You could pick up a new hobby, or set aside time for one you haven’t had time for lately. Transit Venus in the 5th House When transit Venus is in your 5th house, the 5th house is the house of love, so this is a great time to begin dating a new special someone, and you won’t want it to be boring and blah. You feel more romantic, but in a playful way, and want some more drama in your love life (drama like you see on television and in movies; you want to recreate those incredibly romantic scenes). Attracting new loves is easier during this transit, and you’ll be the one getting chased rather than doing the chasing. You could meet someone through a hobby or who works in a creative field. You feel more creative and artistic, and can find inspiration more easily. Dealing with your children may be easier, as well as getting in touch with your inner child. Transit Mars in the 5th House When transit Mars is in your 5th house, you’re driven to express yourself. Your creativity surges, and you can take a creative approach to matters and projects. This is a good time to pursue a creative endeavor. You have more energy for fun instead of work, and have a hard time focusing on your duties and responsibilities. Try to take as much time off as you can or give yourself plenty of spare time to do whatever pleases you. Your inner child can come out a little, and you can pick up a new hobby. This is also a good time for love and romance, and you have more energy for both of those things. You’re more flirty, and if single, could have the chance to date many people or meet new suitors. If attached, you can reignite the flame and inject more passion into the relationship. Transit Jupiter in the 5th House When transit Jupiter is in your 5th house, you just want to have a good time, and good times should be had. You can enjoy yourself and do the things that you love most. You can spend more time on your hobbies, and take up new ones. If you’re creative, you can see your creativity soar, and this is an excellent aspect for artistic types. You can be inspired to create your best work yet. You may be prone to gambling, and some risks may go well, but don’t push your luck. You want to express yourself in some way, and let the world see you. You can be more sociable and if single, meet new romantic partners. You could fall in love during this transit, but if there aren’t any other grounding influences (like Saturn making some aspects), it’s most likely you’ll just date a lot. If attached, you could bring some romance back into the relationship. This can also be a good period to have a child/get pregnant, and if you have children, it can be a good period for them. Transit Saturn in the 5th House When transit Saturn is in your 5th house, your sense of fun may be drained temporarily. You don’t feel up for parties, socializing, romance, your hobbies, or anything that can be construed as fun for you. You’re more serious, and carefully consider what gives you joy in life and why. You have to look at what your own talents are and be honest with yourself about them. Don’t deny what you’re good at and let it waste away. For creative types, you may feel uninspired as this transit begins, going through a creative block, and have to find inspiration within yourself. In romance, you may feel like you have less love in your life, and have to learn to feel worthy of love because you’re a good person and not because of what other people think of you. Self-love is something that you may need to cultivate. Transit Uranus in the 5th House When transit Uranus is in your 5th house, you can begin taking up new hobbies that are unusual, unconventional, and out of your usual comfort zone. You can express yourself creatively and want to find a different mode of expression. If you have children, they could become more erratic or experience changes themselves, and your relationship with them can change. In love, you can be attracted to unusual people, people who are different from what you’d normally go for, and have relationships that are different. You can fall madly in love in an instant, and fall out of it just as fast. Transit Neptune in the 5th House When transit Neptune is in your 5th house, you love romance and dating, but you may not see your romantic interests for who they really are, viewing them with rose-colored glasses. You can have a hard time falling in love with the right people, people who deserve it and won’t take advantage of you. You want to save those you love, and will sacrifice yourself to do so. You’re highly creative, and new hobbies can be creative or in the arts. Transit Pluto in the 5th House When transit Pluto is in your 5th house, you take love much more seriously, and can almost become obsessed when you think you’re in love. You’re more passionate and intense, and can take that too far if you let it. You can transform your love relationships, or be transformed through them. You can become more connected to your hobbies, and want to pursue what you enjoy more than anything else, but you may have a hard time letting loose when you have the chance. |
