FIFTH
HOUSE MARS
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.
Spontaneous
combustion is the keyword here. Everything is done with verve. This person is
up and doing when it comes to devising challenging and exciting diversions.
They enjoy competitive sports, races, and amusements involving strenuous
physical activity, particularly if they provide an opportunity for the
individual to cover themselves with glory.
Love
affairs are zestfully pursued, for one is not afraid to gamble with their own
or other people's emotions. There can be clashes with children who resent the
high-pressure tactics of adults who try to live their lives for them. A
fifth-house Mars directs energy into creative enterprises, but its dynamism
needs discipline and control.
An
extremely active and rewarding love life is highly likely, with an additional
emphasis on sexual pleasure. This person is likely an assertive lover who
wants to take the lead sexually, and who will need plenty of response from the
partner. Passion will be shown in a very positive way, and there will be much
fun and enjoyment. Pleasure will be taken in children - either the their own
or others - and perhaps in groups such as Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and so on.
An
inclination for risk-taking may be evident, and perhaps the individual will
have something of a gambling spirit. The sign in which Mars is placed will
decree how such a tendency can be controlled, and there may even be some
conflict between the need for this kind of excitement (Mars) and the need to
restrain it (the relevant sign).
A colorful
flair will be added to any creative talent shown in other areas of the chart,
but there will not be much patience in its execution. Enthusiasm and energy
will be poured into any interest, creative or otherwise. This is also an
excellent influence on sporting activities, as it is another house placing
that encourages competitiveness.
