Leo in 5th House: Where Creativity Roars to Life
Creativity
As Leo is one of the most creative signs of the zodiac, these people tend to be exceptionally creative. Their imaginations are lively and they’re always on the lookout for creative works to fill their homes, or new creative projects to undertake. I had a relative with this placement who lived in Greece and had a workshop brimming with his beautiful ceramic creations.
Self-Expression
Prideful, boisterous, flamboyant, confident, and loud, these people are happy to let others know what their needs are. While they might talk bout themselves a little more than usual, they have a lot of very interesting things to say that can keep you hooked!
Some may be especially competitive. They may need to have achievements recognised either through praise or through medals, trophies or certificates. They may enjoy showing them off.
Being a fixed fire sign, they may be quite fiery, stubborn and strong willed, especially if they have more fire in the birth chart and/or Aries Rising (another fire sign).
Romance and Relationships
One of the main reasons they seek out a relationship is to have fun with someone whose company they enjoy. They want to get the most out of life and can become bored and restless when they feel they aren’t using their time on Earth properly. By having a fun loving partner who they can do fun things with such as travel, play sport, entertain and socialise they feel like they are getting more out of life.
They tend to gravitate towards those who exceptional and seem to “shine” in some way. For example they could be particularly good-looking, intelligent, charismatic, dynamic or perhaps they are exceptionally accomplished. These are the sort of people who are also attracted to those with fame and fortune because those qualities make them exceptionally interesting and they stand out from the crowd.
As many of these people seem to attract someone exceptional, they also enjoy showing them off to others. I had a friend with Leo in the 5th with a Leo Sun sign and Aries rising. She loved showing off her boyfriend who was a very successful businessman as well as literally tall, dark and handsome. He was a talented amateur football player, too, as if it couldn’t get any better!
She was, however, exceptional herself as she was a beautiful and clever six foot model who was fluent in three vastly different languages. And that’s the thing about these people — they tend to attract people who shine like the Sun, the ruling planet of Leo, because they themselves shine.
In a longterm relationship, they’re oftentimes loyal, honest, enthusiastic, playful, and warm-hearted. Their weaknesses in romance are being bossy, even domineering at times. They may also want to have too much fun or be too demanding and that can drain their partner.
If they feel the passion and excitement fading, they may decide to move on, unless it can be rekindled. Like those with Leo Sun and other strong Leo placements, these are aren’t the sort of people who are happy to settle for someone who doesn’t set their heart, and bedsheets, on fire. The flame of passion must continue to burn brightly in order for the relationship to stay afloat.
Children and Parenthood
Leo is traditionally associated with the father and fatherhood yet no matter their gender, these people tend to make enthusiastic parents. Emotional warmth is likely to be abundant in the family home. Both parent and children frequently and unreservedly displaying their love for each other.
Magnanimous and generous with their children, their children enjoy their company and occasionally see them as fellow children due to their playfulness. They’re typically loyal, loving and supportive towards their children and guide them well through life. They also enjoy making things with them. For example, they could revel in baking sweet treats or making cute Christmas decorations together.
These parents are not to be messed with, though. They can be very authoritative with their children and demand their loyalty and respect. As playful and childlike as they may be at times, they take themselves seriously, often viewing themselves as head of the family, regardless of their gender. They occasionally feel the need to reestablish the boundary between parent and child in order for all parties to be properly treated and respected.
A lot of money is spent on ensuring their children receive a good education so that as adults, they can make a good living and take care of themselves. Extra curricular activities may also be a priority. They may feel compelled to ensure that their children learn as much as they can about life while still young by going on educational trips and vacations, and receiving after school tuition on a variety of subjects.
Their children may pursue creative careers as adults. For instance, they could become artists, designers, filmmakers, writers, event planners, musicians to name a few career choices. If they have Leo prominent in their chart, they may find success in the performing arts. Professions characterized by compassion and support like doctors, nurses, therapists, and teachers, may also resonate with them.
Recreation and Entertainment
Remember the relative I had with his ceramics workshop? Apart from making gorgeous little ceramic pieces, some of which he’d sell, he also liked to walk and jog everyday despite being well into his 80s. He was seriously fit and active for his age. I’m sure that part of that was thanks to his classic Mediterranean diet but I think it was in his nature to be quite sporty and a bit restless. And that describes these people down to a T too. In their downtime, they like to workout, or take in the fresh air by going outside and getting some exercise.
Speculation
While those with Taurus rising are more cautious about taking risks, those with Aries or Gemini rising, are more impulsive and inclined to take all sorts of risks, especially if it means having more fun.
