Mars in 5th house
Planets in houses. Mars is in the 5th house. Mars is in the house’s 5th house of the horoscope.
We continue the theme of the planet in the houses of the horoscope and today we will analyze Mars in the 5th house. Let me remind you that to interpret the planet according to direct signification, in addition to the house, you need to take into account its sign (this is primary) and aspects. And when analyzing a planet as part of a house, you need to start with the sign on the cusp of the house, the position and state of its ruler, and only after that proceed to the analysis of the planet in the house. And, of course, any indicator must be analyzed in the context of the entire chart, depending on what is available in this chart.
In the classical interpretation, the 5th house is responsible for:
1. Children. Everything is here, from bearing and ending with relationships with children and the way we see them
2. Interests and hobbies.
3. Relationships with lovers
4. Non-life-threatening risk and excitement, the adventurousness of a person.
5. All kinds of games, including cash games
6. Talents are sometimes assigned to this house.
As usual, I will tell you how I feel about these topics, what I take into account, and what I consider inappropriate or even incorrect, relying solely on my own experience and not claiming to be true.
5 house of passions and hobbies. 5th house talents
5th house is responsible for hobbies, as well as in some interpretations for talents. As for talents, as I have already said, it seems to me not very correct to consider talent according to the 5th house or even according to any one isolated indicator. Moreover, during relocation, houses change, and talent, if it exists, should remain talent. Therefore, as far as the search for talents is concerned, it is more correct, in my opinion, to look at the entire horoscope as a whole, highlighting something special in the chart. It may be a natural dominant.
Let’s say 6 planets in air signs will already indicate mental or communication abilities, and 6 in fiery signs will indicate organizational skills or artistry. The planet on the ASC will also not go unnoticed, since it is a planet on the ASC, and, therefore, it represents our Native, making its qualities stand out. It is not a fact that we will be talking specifically about talent, but we can already talk about abilities and inclinations in this area. And there are many such indicators, it is unlikely that any of the practicing astrologers for a long time will give up on more significant indicators and immediately begin to analyze the 5th house in search of talents.
Nevertheless, the 5th house is something that gives a person pleasure, and everything that brings pleasure, stimulates, and even if it does not correspond to talents, it constitutes favorite activities and, as a result, becomes a hobby.
By the way, much better than talent.
At the same time, I would like to point out. Usually, house indicators are taken literally (according to the principle: 5th house in Aries – I am fond of sports, 5th house in Taurus – counting money or collecting, 5th house in Gemini – I read and study).
Everything is so, and a little not so. It is very likely that by telling a person that he is fond of sports or other active activities (dancing, for example), seeing Aries or Mars in the 5th house on the cusp of his 5th house, you will not miss.
Just as you can’t miss if you say that a Gemini person on house5 is fond of reading or learning. Therefore, you can say so!
But in the vast majority of cases, this will not be connected with a sign or a planet in the 5th house, but with the specifics of the areas that most often fall into the area of human hobbies. In addition, many people have more than one hobby, and interests are distributed approximately equally – reading/education/self-education, music, sports, needlework, creativity, computer games, and collecting. These are the main topics that people highlight when describing their hobbies. And most often, a person who is fond of sports (for us it is Mars or Aries) is also interested in music (although for us it is Neptune or Pisces), self-development (Gemini, maybe Sagittarius), etc.
That is, people’s set of hobbies is not so large, therefore, saying that a person is fond of sports, you will rarely be mistaken – he is not fond of now, which means he was fond of before or will be fond of later. And this is rather not an astrological indicator, but a general social one.
And astrological will show HOW a person is fond of something that he needs so that he feels inspired by his occupation.
In this sense, Mars in the 5th house is very result-oriented. Being carried away by something, he needs to see the perspective of his activity, understand what exactly he should achieve, and, preferably, be able to feel at least an intermediate result quite quickly. He is very fond of and is often absorbed in his hobby. As a rule, these are people who responsibly and diligently do everything necessary to achieve a result. And if they succeed, they see progress, then the level of enthusiasm does not subside. It is obvious at the same time that a person needs to be, if not the first (although I would like to), then at least in the forefront of those who have time in this activity.
If a person is doing something with a teacher, they must be praised. If it’s just in a group, it’s important to be appreciated and listened to, or just to be the first and the best. I repeat, as a rule, these are people who are ready to work and honestly do everything to achieve the results that are expected from themselves and their passion.
But if it turns out that contact with passion is broken, say, for some reason a person drops out of the topic or physically cannot devote time to passion, then after some time of torment and anxiety about this, he cools down and then, even if he continues to engage in the same, then more “for the show” or “for a piece of paper”, if a document is meant that subsequently certifies qualifications.
Disappointment in passion is also quite possible. First of all, this is because a person does not achieve the results he expected, even if too little time has passed to get the result. I repeat, even if intermediate, the result should be. If there are dynamics, a result, and a sense of one’s success, then a person can be engaged in something for a long time and with enthusiasm, without losing interest in the corresponding activity.
5 house and love
Based on my own experience, I can say that all significant relationships, whether they are marriage or just love, are described by the 7th house. It is the main one, and everything related to relationships is visible in it. 5th house in this sense is additional. If you wish, if you have something to say, you can connect it to the consideration of the love theme, but more often than not, 7th house, and even more so synastric techniques, are more than enough to describe the corresponding topic.
If we consider the 5th house in the context of love relationships, then we can compare it with the influence of gender planets. Let’s say, according to the 7th house, you can see how real relationships will develop, what Native expects and what he will receive from them, and how he behaves while in a relationship. And if you look at Venus in a male chart, then you can conclude what type of woman a man likes, regardless of whether his wife falls into this type or not. Just what you like, what you admire. The same for women, if you look at Mars (here I want to clarify that in the context of what is being described, I do not mean these planets as co-significators of 1st marriage). That is, what Native is waiting for, what inspires him, faced with what, he is ready for, if not to fall in love, then at least to become interested in a person.
And in this sense, Mars in the 5th house will form an interest in people with Martian features. Women will be inspired by strong, courageous, determined, and brutal men. Men are independent and passionate women. And in general, people with open emotions, and burning eyes, are inspired by some business or idea. As an option – athletes, military men, and generally people in uniform. At the same time, it is not necessary that Mars will be realized in real partners or will resemble the real relationship of Nativ. This would describe the 7th house better.
5 house excitement, winnings, exchanges
I can’t say that Mars at the 5th house or Aries on the cusp of the 5th house is the most common indicator of playing people, but at the same time, it also occurs quite regularly.
About how safe it is to gamble, you need to look at the state of the 5th house in general. One cannot conclude based on Mars in the 5th house alone. There are people with Mars in the 5th house who are quite lucky in games, there are those who play to the skin. But the point here is not so much in Mars, but in general in the state of the 5th house.
Leaving the definition of the profitability of the game to be considered entirely in the 5th house, I note that Mars in the 5th house, if a person plays (which is not necessary), makes him reckless and reckless. If other indicators do not change the judgment, then these are people who play short (these are casinos, slot machines, and other instant wins/losses, or playing on the stock exchange, but also short, attempts to make money on exchange rate differences). In general, this is a rather dangerous indicator for games, since Mars in the 5th house gives inattention, riskiness, and poor risk assessment – there is simply no time to think. In addition, it can indicate a strong involvement and, as a result, difficulties in stopping. Mars does not know how to lose and does not like it, and often aggravates his condition by trying to win back or break even more jackpot than the one he has already won. Therefore, you need to be careful with this indicator. I have examples of fairly successful players with Mars in the 5th house, but, frankly, I attribute their luck to other indicators that act together, although I believe that Mars in this case makes it possible to take risks, willing to fit into such matters, in which others do not dare to fit in, and in this regard, again, it gives a certain amount of luck according to the principle “who is the first, he hit the jackpot” or “who does not risk – he does not drink champagne”, but in general I recommend to be more careful with this indicator.
