FIFTH HOUSE MOON

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.

The gift of the fifth-house Moon is a pleasure-seeking temperament spiced with a whimsical sense of humor. This individual cultivates a dramatic style of living and loving which makes them the focus of attention in social gatherings.

Innately artistic, they crave recognition but may be at the mercy of their moods in exploiting latent talents. Unless the feelings are invested in a project, it could be hard for this person to produce the desired results. If they can refrain from dissipating their forces in the pursuit of transitory diversions, they may come into their own in the field of public entertainment and amusement.  

The Moon's creative urge may be directed towards the procreation of children, with great joy gained from parenthood. Doing the right thing for the child will be quite instinctive, and the individual will know the best course of action without reference to books or other guidance.

This is also the house of lovemaking. While the placing will make for a responsive sexual partner, the purely creative side of lovemaking must be expressed, as opposed to indulgence in sexual pleasure for its own sake.

There is a frequent instinct to show off, with times when this person will be overtly showy and extrovert. Then, as a result of a quick change of mood, the introspective areas of the Moon's influence will assert themselves and they may recoil from previous actions.
