The Fifth House - The House of Pleasure
This is the fifth part of a twelve part series briefly explaining how the signs work in each house. Enjoy!
To start off, the Fifth House is ruled by Leo and the Sun. So when we think of pleasure it’s definitely a bit selfish. We are searching for what makes us feel good in all aspects of life. It is in this house where we find out that what makes us feel pleasure is usually through our creative self. This is when we showcase our talents whether it be in the arts, music, writing, or any field in which our pleasures are demonstrated. There is also a sense of innocence in this house because what makes us feel good comes naturally; we don’t have to force it, it’s a talent or desire we were essentially born with. The innocence is shown because as children we are genuine in expressing what makes us happy, and as we become older we tend to suppress those feelings in order to enter adulthood and make a living. If we are lucky, we are able to make a living out of our talents. Furthermore, since we are discussing pleasure, this house also represents why we have children and procreate. As humans we want to keep creating different versions of ourselves, and having children is another form of that. Where sex is pleasure, having a child is the result. And from this we can learn about our romantic affairs, hobbies, creative pursuits, and children. In life we ultimately just want to do what makes us happy and how we go about searching for that happiness and awaiting the pleasurable result is represented in the Fifth House.
Aries in the Fifth House: Always a natural born leader, this Aries is no different than the rest. In your pursuit of pleasures you are a go-getter. You want to be the first one to make a move and if anyone beats you to it, you get a bit turned off. This placement can be too firey for more sensitive types so if you scare people away this may be why. You will come to learn, however, that happiness comes within so you don’t need people’s approval anyway. But it is important to try and see other people’s perspectives and not act so impulsively. Your hobbies, talents, and indulgences are the type to keep you physically active and you usually like to ride solo. Your children may acquire these traits as well. Since Leo rules, this double Fire sign of Aries and Leo call for a courageous person who can use their leadership qualities for good or bad.
Taurus in the Fifth House: A cautious bull, you are only willing to make investments if they are worth it. Once you figure out if they are worth it or not you are in it for the long haul and don’t half ass things. But you tend to treat your investments, both business and romantic, as possessions. In this placement, however, that can mean that you are giving too much. Your hobbies may become addictive whether it be gambling or over eating to feel a sense of gratification. Positive qualities are that you are loyal and stable in matters of love and you expect the same in return. You hate being rushed and want to be able to take your time when it comes to being creative. Your children may think you are too harsh on them or overbearing because you may be disappointed that they are not the same as you. The material world is usually what peaks your interest and this is where you seek pleasure.
Gemini in the Fifth House: Pleasures come to you in more ways than one. Being monogamous and sticking to one routine is not your cup of tea. Your mind needs stimulation in the form knowledge in order to keep you around. What you do with this knowledge, however, is how you showcase your creativity. Activities like word games, puzzles, or trivia are your version of fun since you get to show off how much you know. In matters of love, you need someone who is entertaining and can keep you on your toes, otherwise you will get bored. This placement can be tied to the inventors of the world since Gemini is all about the mind and with it comes to creativity that can cause mental progress, like being the one who comes up with a good idea first. The dual personality of course can become a problem here and you must find a way to find a middle ground with your interests, where you satisfy both light and dark pleasures. Lastly, relating to children is easy for you since you have a child like spirit.
Cancer in the Fifth House: In order for you to enjoy the pleasures of the world, you will do so in a familiar way. Sticking to what makes you feel comfortable, like holding traditional values, is what is important for you. Your hobbies will be no different, you may enjoy things like knitting or cooking. As a parent and in relationships you want to provide and nurture. Towards your children you may find it hard to cut them loose and will hold on to them for as long as possible. Your maternal instinct will go insofar as trying to mother your significant others, which can be too demanding and might cause you to smother your partner emotionally. Very compassionate, your creativity will demonstrate how you feel, and you use your intuition to better paint a picture. In life you are not a risk taker, and you definitely shouldn’t start now, since you’re all about caution. You prefer to take your time and enjoy the good things in life with the right people otherwise why bother. This placement holds many feelings of nostalgia and although reminiscing is a beautiful thing, try and not get stuck in the past.
Leo in the Fifth House: Finally we’ve reached the natural placement of Leo in the fifth house. Leo also rules the heart so you will have a larger than life type of heart and that is what is most admirable about you. When you are being creative and being given all the praise for it, that is your best shining moment. You are what they call “the life of the party” without even trying, so trust, you don’t have to do the most. Children inspire you because being around adults can shine you away from your light, whereas children bring out the life in you. However, you are good at discipling your children so you will make a great parent. When it comes to chasing pleasures you will do so in a flamboyant manner and will make love your greatest investment of them all. You want your partner to understand how in love you are with love since you expect a romance just like in the movies. Because of this you may be too dramatic and high demanding so in order for you to be happy you have to find someone who is willing to put up with that. This placement teaches us to never settle for anything less and to aim for the happiness we truly deserve.
Virgo in the Fifth House: You find the most pleasure when things are done right. Satisfying your pleasures, however, will not come easy since you are so keen on having things perfect. But remember…perfection rarely exists so stop getting caught up in your impossible standards otherwise you will never be happy. This type of mindset also applies to the people you choose to date and have sex with. If the person isn’t worth it you won’t even waste your time. Once you do find this person, however, they must still earn your love. Mental stimulation is important for you and you’d rather spend time on something that reaps higher rewards in the long run than something that is quick and easy. As for your children you will probably be the most strict parent of all since you are very critical of them too. You demonstrate your talents through your ability to plan accordingly and get shit done, but creativity does not always come as planned so allow yourself to be spontaneous.
Libra in the Fifth House: As any Libra, you’re all about balance especially with work and play. You are a fair person and show this in relationships and your parenting skills. As for pleasures, you need the company of others in order to enjoy anything. If you find yourself lacking independence this placement can be why, but now that you know, you should try and work on being happy all on your own to help develop your personality. Basically you need the help of others to fulfill your pleasures but the problem is that in life we can’t always rely on others, this is one source of disappointment. Once you find true happiness within yourself, when you manifest this it into your relationships, this will call for beautiful marriages and long term romances. Without even knowing, however, you are always searching for a new crush and someone is always catching your interest. Very flirty your children will also share these charming qualities.
Scorpio in the Fifth House: The way you approach your desires, romantic interests, and pleasures are very intimate and with high emotions. You feel things very strongly and seek pleasures with all the intensity you have. This makes you very loyal in relationships and are willing to do just about anything for your partner. Because of this you are possessive towards them and quickly get jealous if your standards of loyalty are not being met. You definitely come off too strongly but the right person will find this flattering. As a parent you will be overprotective because your children mean everything to you. There is a strong aura about you that has qualities of life and death, as if you’ve suffered everything there is to suffer. Thus, you can be bitter and cynical because you are very observant and see life realistically. You are a very deep person and want to get to know people’s psyches not just what’s on the surface level. When it comes to your hobbies you are quite obsessive, but one has any idea what these talents are because you keep everything a secret.
Sagittarius in the Fifth House: The wandering spirit is willing to take any chance when it comes to chasing their indulgences. Once you know what keens your interest, or what you are talented at, nothing stops you form achieving and showing it off. You usually get what you want because of your fortune and luck. Any form of love affair with you will be a fiery, exciting adventure. With the amount of energy that you have, you carry a childlike behavior even in the bedroom, where you like to play games and see sex as a sport like an Aries. In the end you always want your freedom so your partners should understand that you need your space. Your relationships usually won’t last because you’re meant to date many people and learn from all walks of life. You understand the younger crowd so you don’t have trouble raising children. Very easy going you handle life with a carefree attitude, which leads you to emit happiness and positive energy. Life will throw its obstacles at you and because of how uplifting you can be, there is nothing you cannot endure.
Capricorn in the Fifth House: In life you will pursue your hobbies and interests in a hardworking manner. You like to work for what you deserve and this may be why you make money out of something you enjoy. Being spontaneous does not come naturally to you so you rarely act on an impulse. You tend to limit yourself from any actual real fun because you isolate yourself and prefer to be alone. In love you come off quite cold and reserved, but inside you are very emotional and sentimental. This placement is not the happiest because of how draining it may feel to never feel rest and be in a constant panic. Unfortunately you are not able to enjoy any quick fun because of all the restrictions you may apply. Falling in love will not come easy but when it happens you will do whatever it takes to keep the relationship alive, but, only work tirelessly if it brings you happiness. Otherwise you will find yourself more fond to the dependency of the relationship rather than the person. Capricorns are the father of the zodiac so you may raise your children very disciplined and be a bit of a hard ass so learn when to tone it down.
Aquarius in the Fifth House: From the start, you are one that pursues pleasures that are out of the conventional norm. The people you have fun with are usually the odd and eccentric ones. The weirder your friend group is, the better. You are a very likable person and are up to date on the newest trends and coolest technologies. Very progressive, your romantic desires are fun loving and you aim to have no limits in your love affairs. The rebellious streak in you goes insofar to reach your children that you will have to discipline them at an early age and not give them too much freedom. You are never satisfied with the status quo so your creativity comes from constantly trying to break molds and seek change with your advanced thinking. Whatever catches your interests needs to be long lasting so that you can commit to it, otherwise, you will continue roaming free with no true incentive in mind. Overall, your pleasures are out of this world and it only takes the few rebel types to understand.
Pisces in the Fifth House: The empathetic nature of the Pisces is seen through the lens of pleasure in an enchanting way. Your love affairs are usually deep rooted and you seek a soul mate in every person that you date. However, you may slip and have a bad tendency to see God in your significant others. In return, you sacrifice so much of yourself to make them happy, but this only leaves you empty. Unfortunately with this placement, you are constantly dealing with some form of dissatisfaction and disappointment. This affects your romances, creative pursuits, and the way you raise your children because you may find it difficult to bring life into a world where you feel there is no silver lining. In order to survive you need to learn to love yourself, have confidence, and keep a strong aura. Pisces are always in search of an escape because the realities of the world are too harsh, but do not get caught up in abusing substances in order to achieve a temporary happiness. True happiness can only be found when we keep our faith in love, beauty, and the goodness of mankind.
