Sun in the 5th house
The Sun in the 5th house shines through play, romance and making things. Warm and expressive, you are most yourself creating something, falling for someone or making people laugh.
You have never been able to watch a game without wanting to play it.
Your fifth house is the house of pleasure, romance, children and creativity, the one modern astrology pairs with Leo, the Sun’s own sign, and your Sun, the part of you that wants to shine, was in it when you were born. Joy, for you, is who you are, never a break from it.
Made with your hands
You make things: songs, meals, jokes, costumes, a business out of a hobby. Making is how you find out what you think. Applause matters to you, and you are honest enough to say so, but you would make the thing even if no one clapped.
In love with love
Romance suits you. You flirt with style, fall with your whole heart and give gifts that took a week to plan. A love affair, for you, is a kind of art, and you want it to be beautiful as well as true. Children like you because you take their games seriously, and you remember how to play.
The audience problem
When the applause stops, you wonder what you are for. Drama arrives when life is quiet, and some of it you invite. A creative life needs the dull days too: the practice nobody watches, the draft nobody reads.
Make one thing this month just for yourself, and show it to no one.
The warmth people remember
Ask your friends about the best night they ever had, and you are in the story somewhere, usually at the centre of it, usually making everyone laugh.
Were you born with the Sun in the 5th house?
The houses are drawn from the horizon at the minute and the place you were born, and the whole wheel of them turns once a day, so the house a planet stands in depends on your birth time. Two people born on the same day can have the Sun in different houses.
Your chart, below, places the Sun in its house and every other planet in theirs.
