MODE Of Cosmic Therapy: How to Resolve Fifth House Issues
When you were small child, you no doubt, loved the playground. Whether you were afforded the opportunity to spend much time in one or not, the point is: your inherent desire to play never ever goes away. That’s why gambling has the tremendous appealing flavor it does. As a child it was so much fun to speculate, back then it was called running, jumping, hopping, skipping rope, hiding, and throwing balls. Then came, red rover red rover, Mother May I, aint no bears out tonight and finally progressing into spin the bottle. The human trait is to naturally want to gamble, take a risk, venture into the unknown, invent new things, see if you can (And, then how much) fool the other person and play hard to get and harder to keep.
The death of this spontaneous trusting fun loving eager high spirited child still lives within you no matter what roads you have gone down in order to annihilate him/her. It all began to break down when you realized the games were no longer games but people were taking the matters seriously. (As If They mattered) Then, entered the ferocious tiger eating mammoth desire regarding money, power, influence, control and last but not least, sexual domination. {Because you wanted to be king/queen of the grown up games.}After you slipped into the gown/jacket of ‘getting ahead’, you forgot how to relax, be ‘natural and convenient’.
When these green eyed jealous envious competitive, comparing animals leaped in the picture, guileless innocence jumped right out the first window. You unwillingly became a highly motivated self-serving up-tight creature of ill descent. The light beam in your eyes was traded for the pursuit of the golden egg along with the hoarding/accumulating of money. You reasoned that with money came power, authority, position, command, luxury, respectability and of course all the sex you could ever want to maintain. Gone was the natural innocent belly laughter. In essence, that vital life-infused sacred sensual sexual artistic impetus got smashed in the gut. In its place, a synthetic phony substitute of striving for ‘success’ was supposed to compensate; but, underneath a lurking seething anger (Nothing more than unexpressed sexual creative energy) rambles for liberated expressive release. You are an artist. You must create. Money, alone will not do it for you.
In the fifth house, the sign on the cusp indicates how, when, why, where and on whom money will come and go in your life like rain. Because of other factors in your chart, the 5th house especially emphasizes the color of your anger. If you desire to become wealthy, this is the house you will experience that sort of wealth in your lifetime. This is supposedly the house of love affairs, too. But, not as you imagine. This is the house of secret love affairs, the ones never spoken about, hidden away, and never materialized. Who and what are you truly in love with? What happens, there again, when you sublimate your deepest desires in order to settle for immediate gratification. Instead of pursuing a deeply ingrained talent, you dispense your wallet on trivialities of orange and purple glittering clover. (FAKE)
You try so hard to capture a fleeting aspect of yourself projected in another that you sell your soul for the opportunity to be the ‘special one’ in his/her life. You will eventually get what you truly desire (all mortals do) but it will not be because you tried to. After a lot of living, lying, loving indiscriminately, losing, leeching, laughing sarcastically and having had the playing field leveled, you will realize the flower of your true passion. The sign on the cusp of the 5th house tells that story. This time, settle for nothing less than what you truly desire!
You will have to deal with your repressed anger by bringing to the surface the smut you have smeared in the sign of your neglected obsession. YES, you smeared it. You did it! What planet rules the fifth house? That is your greatest love! It is also your greatest suffering. Now, don’t get short sighted and say that the sign itself is all there is to your love. NO! The embodiment of that sign! Where is the planet which rules the 5th house found in your chart? What type of characteristics does the planet personify?
Sexual attractiveness is born in this house among other artistic gifts. The way you channel these gifts is directly related to the first house. (In other words, you must combine the two signs to get a clear picture of who, what, when, why, where and how your individual make-up needs to integrate for expression.} Wealth, talent, love affairs, sexual unions, business ventures, as the rose on the bush will bloom by itself, so too will your abilities materialize. But, certainly not by clutching too tightly, guarding too attentively, worrying too aggressively or by being stingy/fearful/resentful of others getting/enjoying what you don’t seem to be able to have!
You will learn how to let go of unprofitable ideas in this playpen. You will learn that sneakiness prevents you from evolving. This is specifically true where the realm of healing your body and the emphasis is on getting (truly) well is concerned. (Mind, body, personality, and any left over anger/guilt/remorse from previous relationships.} By healing and eradicating the dross from other carry over romance escapades, you willingly release (through situations beyond your present control) the necessary throns that have up until this time disallowed a wound to heal. Some unions end without explanation and you must allow the idealized ideas to flow and go into the universe without knowing how or where or when or IF they will return. This house is about freedom not for you but from you. You are the warden of your life.
This is the house where you will come face to face with how you truly feel about money. What problems do you have? How identified are you with it? Are you obsessed or worried regarding its visitation and how long it will stay with you? Do you release it and let it do its job? The residual issues with Money will cause you have many experiences in your early life of the flavor of the sign on the 5th house cusp. But, you will learn by sheer experience that money does in fact return to you many times over, when you simply release any ill feelings (OR exaggerated worship) attached to the way it moves so capriciously.
You will (want) need to heal your obsession with money based on the planet ruling this house. What people (Planet) do you know who represent your idolization of money? You are and have been given an unending free flowing font of it IF you give and continue to give. (Without a thought of doing so!) You are the only person who can block the energy of money from coming to you by growing jealous, bitter, resentful or greedy over someone else’s lot. Should you try to manipulate circumstances in your favor, or brood over another’s good fortune instead of sending those people showers of blessings in mind and heart, you will sorely suffer the mental anguish and mind poverty because of it. That’s worse than being poor. No matter how much money you obtain, you can never be happy with it IF you reduce your consciousness to one of mind poverty. It is undeniably the most miserable of states to be subjected to.
Relationship and money equal the same amount of energy vested. Do you smother or are you free flowing? Check the sign, planet/placement in your 5th house of natal chart for validation. Work on it.
