Welcome to the Fifth House! This part of the chart is traditionally associated with fun, love, creativity, your own children and what type of activity you like to be involved in as a hobby. It also symbolises games of chance such as lotto, bingo, competitions, etc. Before looking at the Fifth House, I'll briefly recap the others we have explored. If the
Following on from the Fourth House where we formed our basic personality structure, we move on to the Fifth House to begin enjoying our newfound identity, and to allow others to appreciate it too. We now know that we are a 'someone' because of our Fourth House experience, but in the Fifth we go through the process of becoming a 'special someone'.
Looking at the symbolism in this House often describes whether or not, and how, we experienced others' appreciation of what makes us special, as well as how we experienced love and affection from those around us. As adults our experience of love affairs, our own children and creativity are represented in this part of the chart.
For example lets take a look at Pluto in the Fifth House.
The influence of Pluto in the Fifth House often indicates that a person felt that love was a question of life/death when growing up (depending on which zodiac sign and other indications as well). A more detailed look at this person's growing up years may reveal the loss (physical or psychological) of one of the parents that perhaps the child felt responsible for, ie, 'I wasn't lovable enough so my parent has left me".
Even though this particular person may consciously acknowledge that the situation that developed was out of their own control and logically understand that they are not responsible, at a deeper, emotional level this person may feel that if they were more 'lovable' that their parent would not have left them.
Consequently, this person may go through life experiencing love relationships as quite intense and at some level as a matter of life and death (psychologically speaking). Feelings involved in becoming a parent may unconsciously bring these themes back into the individual's life to be examined and dealt with.
