The fifth house

Card: “House #5”
From: Easy Astrology Oracle Cards by Maya White

First, a very brief introduction. In astrology, think of a chart (or horoscope) as a map that shows where the sun, planets and other objects are at a particular time such as a world event, or a birthday. That map is divided up into twelve sections called houses, and each house governs a particular area or category of life such as communication, beginnings, and long-distance travel.

House #5 is the house of creativity, pleasure, sex, personal freedom and self-expression, and it is ruled by Leo (July 23-August 22).

The fifth house is also considered the house of manifestation of desires. Whatever we desire will be manifested. So it is kinda like the Law of Attraction and using your ability to manifest the kind of life that you want. What is it that you want? I believe that our own manifestation only happens when we are clear about our wants and desires. I occasionally write a list of the things I would like in my life. I am a true believer in the power behind the law of attraction. It has absolutely worked for me. Have you ever written a list of your wants and desires?

Daydreaming seems to go hand-in-hand with the fifth house. You’re using creativity, manifestation, pleasure, personal freedom and probably even self-expression. What do you daydream about? Daydreaming is awesome. You open your mind up to the infinite possibilities of life. Daydream away!

Creative self-expression. How do you express yourself creatively? Do you do any crafts? Or perhaps poetry or photography? I think it is important to have an outlet for creativity. I’ve bought a few colouring books over the years to help me be creative, without feeling the pressure to be artistic. I will fully admit, though, that I didn’t have much luck with follow-through, lol. Perhaps it’s time for me to buy another colouring book or sketch pad and some nice colour pencils.

Happy daydreaming!

Love,
