In the Realm of the Fifth

January 11, 2026

Concerning the Astrological Fifth House of the Zodiac, I suppose I’ll just keep it fun and simple. Naturally, the Fifth House is ruled by Leo, and Leo is ruled by the Sun, so both the Sun and Leo are home in the Fifth. As a result of this, the Fifth House is an extremely bright house that’s full of life and warmth.

Houses in Astrology are categorized into three types. You have your angular houses, which are One, Four, Seven, and Ten, and then we have the succedent houses, Two, Five, Eight, and Eleven. Houses Three, Six, Nine, and Twelve are the cadent houses.

The angular houses house the cardinal signs of the zodiac, and that should give you a huge clue as to what the angular houses are all about. Angular houses are the core or the source for the destruction and creation of energy, but they do lean a little more towards creative energy.

Specifically, the Fourth House is the house of home, roots, and solid foundations, and all that foundational energy coils up and springs forth into the Fifth House where it begins to expand. I mean, how interesting is it that Leo is the sign of expansiveness?

The Fifth House is the house of self-expression. It’s the essence of the uniqueness of human individuality. If you were building a new home, the Fourth House is where the foundation would be built, and the Fifth House is where you would begin to build on top of that foundation. The energy contained in the Fifth House can manifest in many different ways. Look at the picture of the lighthouse.

Out of all the pictures I could’ve chosen, I chose this picture of a lighthouse to represent the Fifth House because it truly embodies everything the Fifth House is all about. The Fifth House, for one, is the house of short-term pleasures. That’s anything we do to enjoy ourselves, have fun, and let loose. It includes sex (also procreation/having children), the experimentation of drugs and alcohol, and gambling or any game of risk or chance. Creativity can also be found in the Fifth House, and we’re talking about creative outlets. Much joy, peace, and pleasure can be had from journaling, drawing, and painting and all three are outlets for self-expression.

Now, believe me, I totally understand that Venus is the Goddess of Love and Beauty, but because the Sun and Leo are home in the Fifth House and Leo rules the back and the heart, the Fifth House is without a doubt the house of the heart, things you love, and things you love doing.

It’s important to note that we can easily get lost in the Fifth House because it’s the house of short-term pleasures. You see, some of us love to dabble and experiment with substances that make us feel good, and if you don’t have the will power (Sun) to let something go when it’s controlling you instead of the other way around, well, short-term pleasures can turn into life-long addictions. Beware. Moderation.

Now, I’ve been an astrologer for a very long time, and over the years, I’ve definitely found “my own brand of astrology,” so I’m going to share something with you that you won’t hear anywhere else.

A house is just a house. It’s the people inside that make the house a home.

I know, it’s somewhat cryptic, but c’mon. I can’t just give away everything. If you’re really into astrology, you’ll understand what that means.

Have a wonderful evening.

Saturn Square Moon

June 25, 2025

I wanted to post this as a follow up to the Moon Scope article that went live at 3:00 am this morning. Yes, today is the beginning of a new lunar phase, which features a new moon in Cancer, and as of 3:00 pm this afternoon, the moon in Cancer in the Ninth House was 90 degrees away from Saturn in Aries in the Fifth House.

With Aries in the Fifth House there’s a focus on our role personally when it comes to things like having fun in the current moment. Through Cancer in the Ninth House, the moon has a lot to offer us, even if it is just a really long process leading down a really long road with love waiting at the end of it.

There’s a loving, caring, and nurturing energy now that seems to be the answer for the current situation, but we have to give it a chance. Nothing in the Ninth House comes quickly, and nothing comes easily. If you can, surrender yourself to this journey.

With Saturn in Aries in the Fifth House, we can see the manifestation of something questionable suddenly becoming a thing. What I mean by this is, for example, gambling is something most people do for fun. We go to the casino, and we spend money hoping to win big or hit the jackpot. Most people let it go after that, but there are others who will try to make a career out of gambling.

Saturn in that position can either limit us or bring form to something we love doing, but because of the square to the moon, I’m willing to bet that Saturn is bringing form to something, which will ultimately delay whatever the moon had in mind for us.

The bottom line is to be careful with fleeting pleasures. There’s an opportunity right now that we talked about in the Moon Scope article that involves something genuine and true. Things of that nature take time, but they’re well worth it in the end.

The moon in Cancer wants to bring us back to roots, back to family, and back to things that are familiar to us. She might even be looking to repair a broken or damaged relationship involving our mothers or wives.

I’m not one to shun the fun, but there’s a time and place for everything. Focus on what’s truly important.
