HOUSE TRANSITS
AND PROGRESSIONS The
Sun By
Transit The
annual transit of the 5th House by the Sun is usually a time when both the
spirits and the vitality are high and a person tends to feel too restless
to prolong the period of quiet and relative seclusion which
characterises
the Sun's transit of H4. When
the Sun transits H5, a person tends to want to celebrate the life force
flowing through him and to receive affirmation of his being from others. It
is an excellent time of the year for commencing new, creative projects and
for activities, which bring a person into contact with children and their
energy. By
Progression When
the Sun progresses into the 5th House from either H4 or H6, a person
enters into a period of his life in which he begins to use his creativity.
If
the movement is from H4, he will become more expressive of the
individuality, of which he gained a greater awareness during the
introspective 4th House period of his life. If
the movement is from H6, it is likely that a period of hard work or
illness has drawn to a close, allowing a person to express in one or
another creative form, the knowledge or understanding he gained during
this time. Thus, the act of self-expression enables him to gain a more
robust perception of himself and his individuality. Mercury By
Transit A
transit of Mercury to the 5th House is a very
favourable
time for self-expression in any form. When the inner planets are in this
area of the chart they are
energised;
when the planet is Mercury, then it is able to feed this energy to the
Sun, regardless of the house in which the Sun itself is to be found. Thus
a transit of Mercury to H5 can both lighten and inspire a person during
the challenging times of transits of the Sun to H4 or H6 and enable him to
retain a sense of his individuality. By
Progression If
Mercury progresses into the 5th House a person comes to develop a greater
awareness of himself as a channel for creative energy and strives to
integrate this enhanced awareness with his perception of self. The extent
to which he succeeds in doing this will determine, in turn, his success in
finding an effective channel of creative expression. He may have to
experiment with a variety of forms and become far more familiar with the
idea of himself as a creative person before he is able to express himself
with authenticity, a process that may take many years. Venus By
Transit A
transit of Venus to the 5th House tends to increase a person's awareness
of creativity, both his own and that of others. The presence of Venus in
H5 enhances aesthetic sensitivity and the desire to express one's own
unique being ness. This urge inclines a person to be more anxious than is
usual for recognition and positive feed back from others. Affairs and
flirtations are attractive at this time for this reason. It
is likely that this transit increases a woman’s chances of conception,
especially on those occasions when the Moon receives an aspect form Venus
in the Fifth House. By
Progression If
Venus progresses into the 5th House then a person is likely to begin to
make a creative contribution to what hitherto has been an area of interest
to him. If the movement is from H4 to H5 then, depending largely upon the
sign occupied by Venus, a person may begin to work with some aspect of
property design or renovation, or with his interest in psychology. If the
movement is from H6 to H5 then he will retain his vocational sense and
whatever way he expresses his creativity, he will perceive it as a means
of helping others. Mars By
Transit During
a transit of Mars to the 5th House a
person usually feels a stronger than usual need to express himself and
thereby assert his individuality. If a person has found an effective way
of channelling his creative energies - and this may include promoting the
creative works and activities of others then this is likely to be a very
productive period; if not it is likely to be a time of considerable anger
born out of frustration. The sexual urge tends to be strong at this time
and this too may lead to anger and aggression if it has no outlet and is
not transformed. By
Progression If
Mars enters the 5th House by progression, a person enters into a period of
his life in which he is concerned with projecting himself as a creative
individual. During the years which Mars occupies H5, he may experiment
with various forms of expression or he may bring one particular form to a
very high standard. The
5th House, the natural ruler of which is the Sun, is a hospitable environment
for Mars and usually much is achieved in these years. Should a person fail
to find an effective outlet, however, he will feel extremely frustrated.
When Mars should move on into the 4th House by progression then he is
likely to attempt to uncover the psychological reasons for the creative
block. Jupiter By
Transit In
the year or so which it takes Jupiter to transit the 5th House, a
person usually comes to a greater awareness of his own creative potential
because during this time he is likely to feel inclined to experiment with
hitherto unexperienced forms of self-expression. This transit tends to
increase self-confidence and make a person feel more comfortable with
the idea that individuality confers the right of self-expression This
transit can give both sexes the confidence to take on parenthood and in a
woman’s case the more relaxed, confident state of mind engendered by
this transit may improve her chances of conceiving. By
Progression If
Jupiter moves into the 5th House by progression, it enables a person to
achieve a more comprehensive appreciation of his individuality and
creative ability. As with the transit, Jupiter's movement through H5 by
progression tends to relax the hold of habituality and make a person more
disposed to try the new. Childbirth may have a part to play in this
process. It
may also be a time of spiritual growth born out of an enhanced awareness
of the ability of an individual to channel energies from a higher level. Saturn By
Transit When Saturn transits the 5th House, a
person is required to focus upon the ways in which he has expressed his
individuality up to that point. Transiting Saturn
moves into H5 from H4, and during its passage through the 4th House,
there is likely to have been considerable introspection. The new
understanding a person has of himself will require him to make changes or
to discipline himself to complete some creative project, which confirms
that he is continuing to move forward. In cases where re-assessment is
required then a person may experience creative blocks. Women attempting to
conceive may experience difficulty if there are any unconscious fears or
misgivings about bringing another life into being. Yet this is not always a problematic
time: if a person has given attention to the matter of creative expression
earlier in his life then the discipline and dedication conferred by
transiting Saturn is likely to make this a very constructive period. A
woman may decide that this is the time to take on the responsibilities of
motherhood. By the time Saturn reaches the last
degrees of the Fifth House, a person
is usually aware of the nature of the changes which need to be made if he is to express himself more effectively, or ready to bring some
creative project to a conclusion.
By
Progression As
Saturn moves through the 5th House by progression a person enters a period
of his life in which he is required to
review his understanding of himself as
a creative individual. Saturn
is capable of casting a
dark shadow over the house of the Sun and the years during which Saturn
occupies H5 may be a bleak and sterile period. It is nevertheless one,
which offers a significant challenge and the person who is able to work
through the self-doubt, and impotence, which is so often experienced at
this time, will do so by confronting the reason - indicated by the sign
and house placement of natal Saturn - and will emerge a productive person
with an awareness of his individuality. Uranus By
Transit A
transit of Uranus to the 5th House marks a time when exposure to new
experiences affords a person the opportunity to arrive at a new
understanding of his uniqueness and his creative potential. Transiting
Uranus brings situations designed to shake up a person and make him use
his energy in ways, which hitherto have been unfamiliar to him. As a
result he will be more alive and more in touch with his being ness. Highly
charged sexual relationships which offer experience rather than longevity
frequently have a part to play during this period of a person’s life by
making a contribution towards the raising and the freeing of his creative
energies. By
Progression If
Uranus moves through the 5th House by progression, a person enters a
period of his life in which he is forced to face new situations and
experiences, which serve to make him more vital and more flexible.
Stability and consolidation are inimical to the purposes of Uranus, and
during this period of his life, the need to adjust to the unexpected gives
him the opportunity to discover his authenticity, resourcefulness and
adaptability. Whilst
the process and its effects are similar to those of transiting Uranus,
progressing Uranus moves much slower and the process therefore, is more
protracted and usually less intense. Although, the years in which progressing Uranus
makes direct contact with any tenanting planets will be highly charged. Neptune By
Transit A
transit of Neptune to the 5th House can be inspirational but it tends to
erode the sense of individuality and the desire for personal recognition,
which are such piquant spurs to creative activity. In consequence a
transit of Neptune to H5 inclines a person to lose himself in the creative
works and activities of others. Sexual
infatuation, which a person will insist is deep, unconditional love, is
also common under this transit, especially if the 5th House is tenanted by
inner planets. Whilst
this transit may be a time of considerable aesthetic sensibility and new
spiritual awareness gained through sublime experiences with art, music or
sex, it may not be until Neptune moves on into the Sixth House where its
energy becomes easier to ground, that a person is able to focus himself
sufficiently well to be able to give expression to this new awareness. By
Progression If
Neptune progresses through the 5th House a person is given the opportunity
to understand that God expresses Himself through the individuality of each
of us, and to better understand the distinction between egotism and
individuality. The
intimate relationships, which form at this time, are frequently idealistic
and other-regarding: the person with Neptune in the 5th House attempts to
put everything he understands himself to be in the service of his partner.
This is one of the most common ways that a person will give expression to
the desire to make his life and energy useful which tends to be a
characteristic of Neptune when operating through H5. A
person whose creativity is well developed may come to see himself as a
channel for energies from a higher level. Although Neptune’s progression
through H5 may produce periods of delusion about self and others,
especially if H5 is tenanted, a person who has experienced this
progression tends to have a sense, no matter how hazy or ill-defined, that
his life has a purpose and a significance. Pluto By
Transit A
transit of Pluto to the
5th House
has the effect of exposing,
and
thereby,
offering a person the opportunity to deal with
the
compulsions and insecurities, which keep him from fully utilizing the
creative power available to those whose sense of individuality, is well
developed. Much
that Pluto reveals as it transits H5 will be to do with the use of the
creative energies in sexual activity. If this is the only outlet for them,
then a person is likely to be made aware that this is inadequate or he may
be made aware that the price he is paying in terms of time, energy and
quality of life for a sexual relationship is too high.
A
transit of Pluto to H5 requires a person to assess his sexual behavior and
to consider the extent to which he uses up creative energy in an attempt
to
get gratification or emotional security. If the 5th House is tenanted
then
it is likely to be a deep sexual infatuation which consumes both time and
energy which is the agent for this awareness.
A
person with Saturn in H5 may have to confront his sexual and creative
inhibitions as Pluto transits.
By
the time that Pluto leaves H5, the person who has used the opportunities
which it brings, will have a far greater understanding of the extent to
which his emotions
cooperate
with or sabotage his creakily and sense of individuality By
Progression When
Pluto moves through the 5th House by progression, a person is in a period
of his life when the way he uses his creative energies is subject to
fundamental change. Integral to this process is an enhanced
understanding of what it means to be an individual and of the nature of
the power available to a well-developed individual. The
5th House is one of the Houses of Relative consciousness and it is
through seeing the effect that he produces on another that a person finds
a gauge against which to measure his effectiveness and potency. By the
same token it is his experiences with others, which will bring him to an
awareness of how lack of autonomy and self-mastery erode his
individuality. Becoming aware of these areas in which he is eroded is
usually a very conspicuous stage in the transformative process, especially
if the inner planets or Saturn are to be found in H5. In this case
circumstances are likely to make him aware that emotional complexes are
causing him to use his creative energy in an inadequate or even
self-destructive way. As
Pluto moves on through the 5th House, a person usually begins to seek out
other channels for creative expression and by the time Pluto reaches the
end of H5, may have found some form through which he is able to make an
authentic creative contribution. The
Moon By
Transit The
monthly passage of the Moon through the 5th House is usually a sociable
time when the energy and the spirits are both high. At this time a person
tends to feel a sense of well being and enthusiasm for life which may
incline him to seek to express himself creatively or through some activity
which gives him feed-back from others. When the Moon transits H5 a person
usually seeks to elicit from others confirmation of his individual worth. By
Progression The
two or so years, which is the average time that it takes the progressed
Moon to move through the 5th House, make up one of the lighter more
expansive periods of the 28 year cycle. At this time energy levels tend to
be high and there is a renewed zest for living after the heaviness and
introspection, which are such common features of the progressed Moon’s
4th House period. Whilst the Moon is in H5 a person frequently experiments
with new ways of expressing himself. Whether it is through one of the fine
arts, through intellectual activity or through the launch of a new
business venture, the purpose of these new directions is to find an
effective channel for his abundant energy, which will also earn him
recognition from others. Relationships, which form at this time, tend to
be highly charged sexual experiences, which may or may not find a place in
the new phase of life which the Moon ushers in as it moves on into the 6th
House. The
relationships, which are carried through, are those, which indicate that
they are capable of withstanding the pressures and preoccupation with
work, which characterise the Moon’s 6th House period. That
many do not is an indication that the relationships, which a person
tends to seek out when the Moon moves through H5, are those which offer
sexual experience and excitement rather than security. Similarly
certain creative activities undertaken during this period when there is an
abundance of energy will be dropped as the Moon reaches the end of H5.
Those that are taken through will be those forms through which a person
feels he can express himself honestly and effectively. The passage of the
Moon through H5 may turn a woman’s attention, sometimes obsessively so,
to the matter of having a child.
