Merry Christmas To All My Readers!
The Fifth House
By Triana Èlan
December 22-28, 2003
Just in time for Christmas, we now turn to the fifth House of the birth
chart. This House is the sector that governs self expression. It is
ruled by Leo and therefore by the Sun, signifying that here is where we
find our passion. The sign that this House falls under in the personal
horoscope reveals where our passion lies, and how we deal with it.
This is also the House of love affairs and children (well one often
produces the other, doesn’t it?). Since passion is such a misunderstood
word, let me clarify what it means to me: It means what rocks your soul.
It could be music, art, machinery, technology, sex, alcohol, food,
reading, education....the list goes on.
This is the House in which we have an opportunity to shine brightly from
within. Usually people who are ignited from within have their Sun in the
fifth House. Mars in the fifth House can depict an individual who will
stop at nothing to "get there."
A well aspected fifth House will usually represent a naturally creative
person, one who can balance work with a creative undertaking. An
afflicted fifth House will reveal a struggle and frustration in the area
of creative self expression.
This House is often misinterpreted, for being “creative” doesn’t
necessarily mean one is an artist. Creative living is very different
from the limited stereotype. The fifth House will reveal how well you
think on your feet, how you feel comfortable telling the world who you
are. As we mature and change, the fifth House hones itself to a fine shine.
Aries (March 21 - April 20):
The New Moon in Capricorn brings an extra
sparkle of magic to your domain; this is the Big Week, you’ve been
feeling hassled, and now you get to get to the fun stuff! At least for a
couple of days or so. The rest of the weekend will be spend recovering
and playing with your new toys. Mars, your Ruler, has settled happily
into your sign and is singing away with the big outer planets, so you’re
set!
Taurus (April 21 - May 20):
The New Moon in earthy Capricorn doesn’t
necessarily ground you, but it does give you an extra boost right when
you need it. As we round up the year, you have news regarding property
or building or a remodel that has you excited. Keep going with it! Very
likely by this time next year you’ll be much more settled; know that and
celebrate this Christmas with extra panache!
Gemini (May 21 - June 20):
All that sparkles and twinkles attracts you
any time of the year, but especially now as times get really festive! As
good will and merriment pervade the community, join in as much as you
can and you’ll find extra energy rather than being drained. If you’re a
solo twin this Christmas, start a new tradition for yourself. You do
well with structure, even at the best of times. Know that you never walk
alone.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22):
The week begins with a New Moon in your
opposite side of Capricorn, clearing the way for you to reach a depth
that you enjoy and feel comfortable with. You don’t do traveling well
during the Holidays...if you’re not at your own home, you’re at someone
else’s...hotels or impersonal places are out of the question for you!
Enjoy all you’ve created, love your people, and pat yourself on the back
for a job well done.
Leo (July 23 - August 22):
A New Moon in Capricorn propels us toward
Christmas and fiery Mars is settled in energetic Aries, giving you the
energy you need to get everything done. Well, let’s admit...you’re going
to have to delegate! Let others do a few things for you, and be happy
that they want to. Just be happy, period...you’re here! Enjoy all the
sparkles and singing and all that this season brings out in us.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22):
It’s a wonderful time of the
year...really! Don’t fuss over the little things that are left undone or
the cake you burnt or the bounced check. Oops...everybody makes mistakes
and you’re allowed. Even if you’re all thumbs at wrapping, wrap that
special thing for that special someone anyway...that you went to the
effort will warm their heart much more than perfection. Sit back, have a
‘nog, and end the year quietly within yourself.
Libra (September 23 - October 22):
Here we goooooooooo! This is the
week, you’re the one, and you’re surrounded by people who love you and
care for you, even if you’re not related! This is a quirky time of the
year, so just enjoy the quirks and the spats and the fuss and let the
harmony emerge on its own. Be a happy observer, an enthusiastic
participant, and enjoy whatever show you find yourself involved with.
Lovely Venus flies into your fellow air sign of Aquarius just in time to
put you at ease. Hmmmm....there really is a Santa!
Scorpio (October 23 - November 22):
Although you are a water sign, you
used to be Air. Before that you were Fire. No wonder you fit in so many
places unobtrusively! Folks are drawn to you now, so receive them warmly
and allow your inner fire to blaze contentedly. Smile at your people,
even the ones you don’t like. You have the ability to draw many things
out of others, so draw out the best and the brightest.
Sagittarius (November 23 - December 20):
Here we go! Santa’s on his way,
you’ve been doing things like crazy, and you’re almost ready to call it
a year. Mars in impulsive Aries ignites your fun side, Venus in Aquarius
inspires your quirky side, and you’re ignoring the stodgy ones. Good for
you! This looks to be a great Christmas, and you deserve it. Make as
much merry as you can, don’t forget to feed the eight tiny reindeer, and
get some rest before the big day so you can fully enjoy it.
Capricorn (December 21 - January 19):
The New Moon in your sign gives
you an extra boost, and you’re setting yourself up to have a happy and a
merry week! Don’t worry about all those little bits and pieces that
didn’t get done...when do they ever, any time of the year?! If you
weren’t discombobulated at some level, you wouldn’t be a quirky
Capricorn! Besides, if we ever wait until we’re ready, nothing gets done
at all...put your feet up and have a wonderful Christmas.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 19):
Love it or hate it, it’s here!
Fortunately, Venus slides into your sign this week, giving you an extra
dose of self worth and a warm feeling inside that almost nothing can
take away. Uranus, your Ruler, is nearly finished with your sign after a
tumultuous seven years; at the end of the month it leaves your sign and
all the chaos behind; hopefully you haven’t become so used to chaos that
you’re impulsively creating it! If you say you’re going to do something,
do it...otherwise you’ll find a lump of coal in your stocking!
Pisces (February 20-March 20) Okay so ya wanna just make everybody
see it the way you do...they won’t. Give it up and just have fun! That’s
what this time of year is for, and being a Mutable sign, you can adapt
to any level....just don’t hang around the low ones too much or you’ll
cry. Balance yourself this week, socialize a bit, be alone a bit, talk a
bit and listen a bit. Get some new ideas for yourself and write a lot.
It’s been a heck of a year!
