Creativity

The fifth house is the territory of creative expression, play, pleasure, and everything you do for the sheer joy of doing it. It includes romance in its courting stage, artistic projects, recreational pursuits, and, centrally, children as an experience of creation from within. Its natural sign is Leo and its natural planet is the Sun, giving it radiance, generosity, and an orientation toward genuine self-expression. Here you can read what kinds of activities invigorate you, how you enjoy yourself and play, even in adulthood. It also describes your relationship with pleasurable risk, with improvisation, and with the desire to be seen doing something you love. This is not the house of luxury or excess: it is the house of what you do when you are truly free.
