The fifth house shows our needs in love and where we release fourth house energies and emotions. The more emotional we are, the greater the need for constructive channels of expression. All forms of self-expression, anything we create or do purely for its own sake, children of the mind and the body, love affairs (insofar as they represent fun and self-expression) or their lack, theater, dramatics, hobbies, speculation, play and amusement, are all indicated by this house. The more planets we have in the fifth, the more abundant the energy we have to release, with perhaps some disinterest in receiving the same from others. This is also the house of hidden karma resulting from the misuse of the will or love principle in past lives.

The fifth house is that one-twelfth sector of the local sky midway between the western horizon and the nadir (see above picture) occupied by planets two to four hours after they set.

Your lessons with Saturn in your fifth house are with lovingness and creative self-expression, for you experience a blockage of what you have to give that feels like the world is denying you. You may be - or have been - blocked in your sexual expression as well. You may lack understanding for the needs of children, but teaching or working with them would be a good learning experience, as long as you watch a tendency towards being overly authoritarian. You may have approach/avoidance reactions with children and animals. You find it difficult to emote and express your feelings, and tend to be cautious and restrained. Feeling creative may be difficult, for you are very hard on yourself in this area. Take care of your circulation and your heart. An angular Uranus or hard aspects from Uranus to the Sun will also indicate too much self will.
