The Fifth House: House of Self-expression

The fifth house is where we recognize our individuality and express it in the world thru our various gifts. Here we are drawn to activities that feed the inner child, our creativity, the child in us that remains forever young. Casual relationships, games, children, dancing, and partying are some themes that encapsulate the fifth house's essence. It is the House of Pleasure, the ultimate playground for the soul.

Sun in the fifth house,

The sun in the fifth house makes one very social and idealistic, with a love of pleasure. This may cause an inability to disconnect from society or enjoy time alone for any great length of time. The fifth house is considered the house of children, and there may be a love of them or the desire to have them. The individual will have many opportunities for pleasure, especially social ones.

They are also likely to feel restless if confined indoors for too long at a time. It is recommended that they find ways to express themselves creatively through writing, art, or music to not let boredom get the better of them. The individual enjoys being around people and may be very flirtatious, which can make it difficult when they want to settle down with someone.

If you have a strong fifth house placement, try to incorporate as much activity as possible into your day. This is the house of pleasure, so find ways to have tons of fun!

Moon in fifth house

With the moon in their fifth house, individuals will feel very connected to those around them. They may tend to pick up on other people's moods and be unknowingly influenced by how they act or dress. This can make it difficult for them, as they are likely to pick up on the emotional atmosphere. They will be very expressive in their mannerisms and emotions and quite observant about what is going on around them.

Those with this placement are often very motherly towards other people's children and may take an interest in child psychology or child care. These individuals must recognize when their feelings and emotions are being influenced by others and learn to distance themselves from such vibrations.

Moon in the fifth house may also give an interest in gambling and other vices. If this is the case, it is recommended that they behave responsibly and in moderation. 

If you have a strong fifth house placement, try incorporating as much of your creative outlet into the world as possible. If you are an artist/musician, get out there and play! Find ways to meet new people and be social. If you are a motherly type, nurture and love the children in your life, or find a way to give back to the community in that area.

The key to tapping into their potential is to create a plan for action that includes a tangible way for those inspirations and impulses to manifest themselves in your life.
