The 5th House, the willingness to create
- Attached to Leo, symbolizing “I love”
- Axis of projects
- Mode : Fixed (Succedent)
- Element : Fire (the life’s philosophy)
The 5th House represents your loves (in the sense of the Love that can be given, as opposed to the “love received” from the 11th House), your feelings, creations, children, your wills, the personal projects and your accomplished goals, your success, gratifications and your general reputation (your radiance).
By extension, the 5th House also represents pleasures, well-being, sports, games and carelessness, holidays, pets, artistic conceptions, original inspiration, intellectual aspirations, a slight exaltation of freedom.
Feelings are seen here in a sense of emotional solidity, durability (in couple and family) and passion (material, sentimental or sexual). The emotional bond operates.
The 5th House integrates the notion of self-affirmation (all of the Sun’s symbolism). The Sign in the 5th House will therefore intensely show your way of radiating in your environment.
The Planets in the 5th House and their Aspects will either inflate your ego and assert your personality, or colour your way of approaching any business (to be seen according to harmonic or dissonant aspects).
The transits in the 5th House will sign the creative and sentimental activity, bringing fulfillment or on the contrary contrariety in your volitions.
Analyzing the 5th House :
- First look at its opposite house, the 11th House, symbolizing collective projects.
- Then look at the Squares : the 8th House, the 2nd House (Succedent Houses, representing security)
- Take into account the Trines : the 9th House, the 1st House (Houses of Fire, representing the life’s philosophy)

With the 5th House we continue in the hemisphere of introversion, of our secret world, of matter, of inner life.
