FIFTH
HOUSE JUPITER
The
House of Offspring - The field of personal self-expression.
Projection
of the self into the world. Children. Artistic creations.
Displays.
Speculation. Love affairs. Games, amusements, and recreations.
"Brain" children. Hobbies. Talents. Pleasures.
This
position is typified by the entrepreneur who inspires respectful attention as
they make their way in the world through sheer force of character. Often they
lead a privileged life which they accept as their rightful due. Fun and games
are enjoyed, but the need to make some significant contribution to society
underlies the drive for personal expression and expansion. Jupiter in the
fifth house promotes popularity and success in teaching, politics, the
ministry, and the entertainment business. It usually gives a number of
children and happiness though them.
This
is something of a mixed blessing. At its best it will certainly bestow great
optimism and enthusiasm. If the chart shows creative flair in other areas
Jupiter will definitely enhance any talents, especially for acting or
painting. However, Jupiter can get rather carried away here and needs
stabilizing if one is to gain the most from this placing. Enthusiasm and
optimism can run wild, and as a result one may tend to take risks. Which is
fine providing these are calculated (this will show in other areas - a well-aspected
Saturn would help enormously), but if Jupiter is squared or opposed by the
Sun, Moon or Mars, there can be considerable recklessness when taking risks of
all kinds.
A
liking for gambling must be guarded against. This person will love life and
live it fully. They will be marvelous company and a source of inspiration and
encouragement to friends and family. There may be a strong tendency to show
off, and a well-developed sense of drama.
There
is a powerful influence on the love life, and over the years this individual
may have more partners than most... Great generosity is likely to be shown to
them, both emotionally and materially. There is also especial joy in
parenthood, and the relationship with children will be positive and rewarding.
Nevertheless,
this can be a rather exaggerated placing and needs firm handling if Jupiter is
to act at its best.
