Planets in the 5th House
The Sun or Moon in the 5th House
The Sun in the 5th House
The Sun in the 5th House bestows upon the native a sharp, discriminating and intelligent mind, along with a warm, extroverted personality.
The number of children may be few, but they will be devoted to the native, and their relationship will be close.
The native’s investments will be profitable and they will enjoy a substantial income.
Love affairs are likely to be numerous and characterized by intense intimacy and a mutual pursuit of pleasure-seeking.
The native is likely to be interested in taking charge of, ruling or holding a position of authority in their community.
Benefits from the father are likely.
Usually, this placement of the Sun does not generate much interest in morality or religion, due to the Sun being mainly concerned with one’s self. However, if the Sun is well aspected or ruling appropriate Houses, the native will be highly virtuous and very much interested in religion and spiritual practices.
As the Sun is the significator of the soul or the self, this placement in the 5th House provides excellent encouragement for those seeking spiritual fulfillment.

A lot of things will be characterized by difficulty, uncertainty and lack of commitment.

The Moon in the 5th House
Waxing Moon
A waxing Moon generally brings better results than a waning Moon. In the 5th House, a waxing Moon gives a person high intelligence, a well developed intellect, and great learning.
The person will be passionate about their beliefs, concepts and understandings. The Sun affects with this too.
There will be a satisfactory number of children of very fine quality, who will be famous or special in some way. The person will look after them very diligently and enjoy a close relationship with them.
There will be benefits from females and the mother, due to the value of the person’s past life credit.

The person will be intellectually inclined, but their thinking will be clouded and colored by the emotions. The mind will fluctuate overly, and the person may experience difficulties forming decisions.
There will be great passion attached to the person’s ideas and thoughts.
Although the person will possess considerable intelligence, this will be marred by a lack of common sense.
As above, there will be an interest in the arts, sports, and speculation, but success in those fields will not be as pronounced or outstanding as they would be if the Moon was waxing.
The native will enjoy paying attention to their children, will have excellent relationships with them and devote themselves to caring for them.
The waning Moon tends to dissipate virtuousness, morality and faith in God, so although those qualities will be present in this person, doubt will tend to undermine the intensity of those qualities.
Exalted or Own House
If the Moon is in Taurus or Cancer in the 5th House, the benefits described above under waxing Moon are enhanced.
The person will be extremely intelligent, possess enormous brain power, street smarts or common sense, and be able to master any subject easily. There is potential to be enormously wealthy from successful investments. The Sun does this too.

Debilitated or Fallen
If the Moon is in Scorpio in the 5th House, the native will be mentally unstable or emotionally disturbed. There will be not much common sense or reasoning ability. The native will tend to make decisions based on feelings and emotion, rather than logic, leading to subsequent losses in investments and ongoing financial hardship.
Love affairs will be difficult to establish and maintain, and there will be little pleasure in this native’s life.
The native is likely to be of weak character, sinful or immoral. There will be no credit from previous lives, and troubles with females and the mother will abound.
