FIFTH HOUSE
SUN
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
Sun in its own house is a genuinely sunny influence giving a fondness for
social, romantic, and theatrical occasions. There is a hearty desire to have
fun, enjoy life, and entertain an appreciative audience.
A
charming manner may spring from the desire to occupy the center of the stage
and to be admired and beloved by all. This individual can be a show-off,
beaming their attention to everyone, wearing the spotlight like a crown, and
wanting to present themselves at their best.
In
the fifth house the Sun may, yet need not, reveal artistic creativity and
radiant spontaneity in self-expression.
There
can also be a strong urge for the use of power and perhaps leadership,
particularly in situations which call for intense vitality.
This
is the house of children, so if the subject is a parent they may tend to push
her children to the forefront (sometimes to their embarrassment or
reluctance). Care is needed that the parent does not push their offspring in
the direction they once wished to take themselves, thereby living vicariously
through them.
The
love and sex lives are well focused, and while the Sun sign itself will denote
the approach and attitude to love, the need for fulfillment and positive,
rewarding expression will assume an importance that is greater than average.
The
vital forces tend to be expressed in adventurous and perhaps speculative
actions which are usually rich in emotional content but often egocentric and
may represent merely a way out of inner pressures which seem intolerable.
To
put it another way, emotional and physical risks are likely to be taken. There
may well be an inherent affection, or even a need, for danger (sometimes to
life and limb), which may be satisfied through hazardous sports. In some
extreme cases the urge to gamble can become excessive.
