INSIDE: The fifth house in astrology reminds us of how important it is to schedule leisure time and play. It helps us discover things that make us happy and shines light onto our creative talents. Let’s see what this astrological house is all about…
Taking time out to do something we love is essential for our mental health. But we often forget how important it is to take a break and have a little fun.
According to Medical News, when we postpone leisure time, see it as wasteful, or feel guilty doing what we love, there is a high chance that the lack of fun in our lives will negatively affect our mental health. That’s why finding out what makes your soul sing and figuring out what leisure time truly means for you matters so much.
We can discover what makes our hearts sing and where we find joy by exploring the fifth house in astrology, as well as the planets and aspects that are connected to it.
Let’s explore what this house is all about…
The Meaning & Symbolism of the 5th House in Astrology
After the very private fourth house where we put all of our focus onto intrinsic matters and home life, we now come out to play in the world with the fifth house.
The Fifth House in astrology is one of the most, if not the most, lighthearted of the twelve houses. After all, it represents everything we find pleasurable and childlike. This is a house of fun, games, sports, and leisure. It represents things that we enjoy, be it partying or chess.
This is the house of children, representing both our kids and the child within us. Because of that, it is linked with creativity and lighthearted, uninhibited expression of our talents.
As if all of this positive symbolism wasn’t enough, this house also represents romance, flirtation, and love. While the seventh house represents official partnerships, such as marriage and serious, long-term relationships, the fifth house is all about butterflies in the stomach, courtship, and our life interests.
When we look at this astrological house, there are two major things to consider:
- Signs found on the cusp of the house
- Planets in the first house.
Let’s discover what all this means in your chart…
