Fifth house is
traditionally the
house of children. It
represents our
capacity to have
children and shows the
kind of relationship
we will have with
them. Afflicted, it
either denies children
or limits happiness
with them. (Though,
for the woman, the
Fifth from the Moon is
often more important
for children than the
Fifth from the
Ascendant).
It is the house of
creativity in general.
On a higher level, it
shows creative
intelligence, our
capacity for original
thinking. Along
similar lines, it
indicates our capacity
to give good advice
and to counsel others.
In this regard it is
important for lawyers
and politicians.
Generally, it is the
most important house
for judging our level
of intelligence, as
opposed to mere
intellect, a factor
which is not
considered relative to
this house in Western
astrology.
On the spiritual
level, it is the house
of the "ISHTA DEVATA"
(The chosen deity we
worship in life) and
indicates our
aspirations. It shows
our devotion, the
truth which is our
guiding star. Like the
Ninth house, it is a
house of grace and,
even more so than the
Ninth, it is a house
of good karma and
shows the resources
and merits (or lack of
them) we bring into
life, our blessing and
curses. It is the
house of mantra and
shows our proficiency
in using our words and
thoughts with
spiritual power.
It is a house of love,
higher or lower. In
this way it indicates
romance and is the
house of the beloved
(not necessarily the
marriage partner). It
is thereby a house of
pleasure, enjoyment,
sport, and recreation,
and shows what we love
to do.
It is another house of
wealth and fortune. As
such it shows our
capacity to gain
through speculation
(like the stock
market), how we can
gain through our
productions,
creations, recreation,
and imagination. |
