the houses, aspects, and returns

256

Sun

  here the sun’s usual strength, 

whatever its sign, takes on certain 
leonine qualities. these individuals 
have a happy disposition, are 
ambitious, extrovert, creative, and 
good organizers; they make lively, 
if bossy, parents.

Moon

  there is usually creativity, a 

powerful imagination, and intuition. 
often the creative urge is expressed 
through having children, and here 
we often see very young parents. It is 
also common for great pleasure to 
be taken from lovemaking.

Mercury

  here are clever minds who 

enjoy risk-taking – maybe gambling 
or dangerous sport. creativity is 
sometimes expressed through 
writing or painting. assiduous 
lovers, who plan their approach 
to prospective partners. 

VenuS

  appreciation of all art forms 

is likely, as is support for the arts. 
a laid-back attitude may diminish 
an otherwise creative output. 
here are passionate lovers who 
will have many affairs.

MarS

  the energy level is considerable, 

and enthusiasm for sporting activity – 
from the bedroom to the sports field – 
is certain. a tendency to take risks 
is very likely, and often money is 
wasted on gambling.

Jupiter

  the gambling spirit is 

very strong here, and needs to 
be consciously controlled. 
Broadmindedness, optimism, 
and enjoyment of life and love 
is very much part of these 
individuals’ personalities.

Saturn

  here is a “put-down” 

effect on individuals who suffer, 
or have suffered, a strict father. 
creativity and joyfulness may 
have been inhibited, causing 
frustration and pushing them in 
unwanted directions.

ur anuS

  this brings originality and 

flair to all creativity, and so makes for 
brilliant cooks as well as painters, and 
writers. these people will enjoy an 
exciting love life with their partners, 
but will delay commitment.

neptune

  the permutation adds 

imaginative creativity and an 
extremely romantic and over-idealistic 
nature. there is a tendency to drift 
up to cloud nine every time these 

individuals are even slightly attracted 

to a new partner.

pluto

  these individuals will strive 

to develop their potential in 

whatever area attracts them. 

determination to win 

prospective partners is present, 

and a passionate sex life follows. 

however, some suffer sexual 
frustration and inhibition.

chiron

  the childish 

enthusiasm for life that chiron 
engenders may be crushed by 

strict parents demanding 
maturity. this can dampen 
expressions of love and sex.

FiFth house: the house oF leo and the sun

Casinos are likely to be highly 
attractive if Mercury, Mars, or 
Jupiter are in the Fifth House.
