The Fifth House

Spiritually considered the fifth house, or the house of children, symbolised by Sagittarius, signifies the offspring of sex (Scorpio), entities sent forth to people Earth, to take their chances in life, speculating on its future course, fearlessly eager for the struggle, gaining pleasure in its migrations and activities. 

Upon the reversed order of the Zodiac on the external human plane, the fifth house is symbolised by Leo. The joys and sorrows that offspring of every kind bring, all belong to the house of the heart. The ultimate sacrifice. The fifth house is known as the ‘Bona Fortuna’ and the house of pleasure. It’s a cadent, masculine, diurnal house that favourably aspects the ascendant, alleviating its cadency. It rules over the stomach, liver, heart and back; back of the shoulders and is affiliated with black and white, or honey colour. 

As a house of pleasure it rules over all things governing fun and enjoyment. In this house you will find arts, music, dancing, merriment, banquets, inns, pubs, taverns, theatres, plays, and parks; all places of entertainment and enjoyment. Parties and social occasions, feasts, sports and games, sporting arenas, resorts and gymnasiums. Gambling and sports betting, lotteries and all forms of stock market speculation. As a house of children, here we will see pregnancies, pregnant women, sex of an unborn child and the condition of children. One can derive love affairs, romance, lovemaking, sex, procreation and conception. If afflicted, promiscuity, sexual inhibition, immorality, overindulgence, scandals, trouble and distress from children. 

It will show gifts and all pleasant things and items purchased for pleasure and enjoyment. On a larger scale it shows Ambassadors and diplomats. All public places of enjoyment and recreation, amusement parks, publicly owned state buildings, national art galleries, zoos, cinemas, etc. It’s the school and education system, national birth rates, social issues related to children, and society’s views on sexual issues and promiscuity. Raphael notes; “Saturn in the fifth house lowers birth rates, shows much trouble to women and children, Great Depression in theatrical circles, and death and indisposition among noted people in that profession. If much afflicted it increases the evil and causes crime against children, and much vice, distress and immorality.” As the succeedent house to the fourth angle it shows ammunition of a town under attack. 

 Co-signified by Leo and Venus, Venus finds her joys in this house, Lily says; “Venus who doth joy in this house, in regard it’s the house of pleasure, delight and merriment; it’s wholly unfortunate by Mars and Saturn, and they therein show disobedient children and untoward.” This house can show the possibility of having children and the sex of the unborn child. It’s suggested that Saturn and Mars here do not bode well for pregnancy but Jupiter is a strong and undeniable indication of fertility, “for all prolification comes from Jupiter.” It’s the fathers wealth and his personal possessions (2nd from 4th). Simmonite adds that as the eighth house from the midheaven, it reveals the death of the monarch.

The Twelfth House

Image
Spiritually considered the twelfth house is symbolised by Taurus representing the first expression of form of the human soul. It is matter in the most etherealised state. It is the trail of the serpent; the silent, secret, tenacious, negative principle; that ultimately draws the soul down into the vortices of gross matter and death.  Upon the reverse of the zodiac, the external human plane the twelfth house is now symbolised by Pisces. The idols, false ideals and vampires of his own creation, are to be cleansed and washed away by the waters of love, the universal solvent that is ever seeking to bring change and new forms; born again of water to make the round of the astral zodiac, until, having again reached the equator of the ascending arc, where he is reunited to the missing half of the soul, the true friend of the Edenic state; the highest point in the arc of human progress won; the honour and glory of a perfected soul; the Lord and Master, the ‘I am that I am’, to rest In peace...

Gemini The Twins

Image
The sign Gemini, in its symbolical aspect, symbolises unity, and the strength of united action, also the truths of matehood. The two bright stars, Castor and Pollux, represent the twin souls. The Greek myth of Castor and Pollux avenging the rape of Helen, is only a repetition of the biblical story of Simeon and Levi, slaughtering the men of Shechem for the outrage committed upon their sister Dinah by the son of Hamor.  Kabbalistically, the sign Gemini represents the hands and arms of the grand man of the universe, and therefore, expresses the projecting and executive forces of humanity in all mechanical departments. Upon the esoteric planisphere, the sign is occupied by Simeon and Levi. “They are brethren,” says Jacob, “and instruments of cruelty are in their habitations,”- which refers in a very unmistakable manner to the fearfully potent powers of projection that lie concealed within the magnetic constitutions of all those who are dominated by the sign.  The mystical symbol ...

The Sacred Union

The Sacred Union   Sex.. When people think of sex, they usually envision the passionate throws of a couple between the sheets, or some strange and unusual fetish like staining mattresses with exotic fruit salads while putting the durability of leather garments to the test, all in the name of one thing; The Big O. It’s rare, these days that anyone stops to think about the spirit and the soul. We say things like “my soul-mate this, or my soul-mate that”, but do we truly stop to think about, and deeply understand what that really means? Adam, Eve and The Serpent It would be rare to find a person that hasn’t heard of the story of Adam and Eve in scriptures. You know, God makes boy, then makes girl out of boy’s rib, they live happily in the Garden of Eden until that fateful day that the girl is tempted to eat the forbidden fruit by a snake. This story, like many in the Bible isn’t as simple and clear cut as what most may think. It’s an allegorical story relating to sex, lust, desire, an...
