5th house in astrology
What the 5th house rules in the birth chart, how to read a planet in it and the axis it forms with the opposite house.
Creativity, romance, pleasure, play, children, what one puts into the world with one's own face
succedent house · natural sign Leo · natural ruler Sun
The 5th house is where you do something simply because you wanted to. It's the drawing, the flirting, the Sunday game, the school play. Everything that comes out of you with your signature, children included, but not only. It's the house of unjustified joy.
A planet in this house
A planet in the 5th house shows how a person has fun, flirts and creates. Mars here goes after what it wants without detours and plays to win; Neptune here falls in love with the image before the person and creates from a dreamy place.
The axis with house 11
The self that creates and the us that sustains. The 5th house is individual expression; the 11th, the group and the collective cause. Someone who only inhabits the 5th wants the spotlight and doesn't share it; someone who only inhabits the 11th dissolves into the team and never signs their own name.
