In order to help you understand the nature of your relationship with God, Intelligence & Children, we will walk you through a few steps.
First you will learn what Sign is your 5th House and how that sign affects your creativity, children, learning and other 5th house indicators,
such as romance, intelligence, destiny, business speculations, politics and mantras. Then, we will get more specific in accessing your 5th
House by examining the planets placed in that house, and also where the ruler of your Fifth House is placed. This will all be very easy to
do. Finally, we will test your knowledge with a Quiz using Oprah Winfreys chart.

Step1:
First, you need to know what your 5th House sign is. To do this:

Log into Astroved

Run the Chart Report

On the chart, it will indicate your 5th House with the number 5 in the box. The blue letters in the same box indicate the Sign.
For your reference the abbreviated sign names are listed below.

Step2:
Now that you know which sign your 5th House is, read the description for the sign that rules your 5th house of God, Intelligence &
Children. This description offers you general inclinations you will have due to this sign ruling your 5th House. As you read the description,
also make note of the Ruling Planet. We will use this in Step 4 to better understand the specifics of your 5th house karma.

It is important to keep in mind that there are many factors which influence your chart, your karma and your life, including condition of the
planet ruling a house, condition of planets in a house, and what dasha (planetary) period you are currently running. The ruling planet
indicates qualities of mind and general nature of destiny.

(Venus is also Lord of the 12th house) and a love of romance.

Mars is Raj Yoga Karaka, so is the most powerful planet for Cancer. As ruler of

Step3:
Once you have identified which sign is your fifth house, the next step in understanding aspects of your God, Intelligence & Children house
is to know which planets most directly influence it and modify its nature.

To do this, run the Chart Report on Astroved. Examine your 5th House and note any planets in that sign, then read the descriptions for
each planet that you have in your 5th House to see how they affect your 5th house indicators.

To help you determine whether your 5th house will tend to have the negative influence mentioned above, check in the following chart. If
your 5th House sign has an enemy planet in it, then you will have more proclivity to the negative effects. Rahu and Ketu are not listed as
they are generally considered unfavorable for all signs.

Step4:
The final step in understanding your personal 5th house is to examine where your 5th houses Planetary Ruler is placed in your chart and
what that means for you. Remember, the Planetary Ruler can be found in the chart in Step 2.

Now, look again at your Chart Report. What sign is your planetary ruler of your 5th House placed? For instance, you may find that you
have a Libra 5th House. Libras ruling planet is Venus. The Chart Report would show you in which House your Venus is placed. Perhaps
your Venus is in your 9th House.

The placement of your 5th House planetary ruler will tell you how your God, Intelligence & Children karma will be experienced by you in
this lifetime. So, in our example, if your ruling 5th House planet is Venus and placed in your 9th House (Compassion & Grace) of
Aquarius, you may express life service through beautiful poetry or fine arts.

Keep in mind that as the planets have a range of values, so do placement of planets in the houses. Below are some indications of each
House:

the 5th House is in How your God, Intelligence & Children Karma are Shaped

activities, shrewd.

Excellent placement for entrepreneurial success, influential friends, favors writing

11th House
books, wealth, favorable associations with children.

12th House
accomplishment, learning from/in foreign lands/spiritual cultures.

By means of another example, if your Fifth House is Libra, then your planetary ruler is Venus. When you look at your chart, you see that
Venus is placed in your 11th House of Aries. Therefore, in this lifetime, your primary 5h house karma can be to fulfill destiny and receive
gains (11th house) through teaching.

Summary
At this point, you now have an understanding of:

What sign rules your 5th House;

What planets, if any, are in your 5th house;

What planet rules your 5th house;

In which house your ruling 5th house planet is placed in your chart.

This will give you a good basic comprehension of which signs and planets are influencing your intellect, children and character. If you
have 2 or more planets in your 5th House, look to which of the planets are weak and causing you difficulties based on the descriptions of
the planets above. Then remedy that planet!

When God, Intelligence, Children, Destiny, Learning and Mantra Karmas Become Active
Relationship with God, right use of intellect and spiritual practice are generally an on-going value for most of us. But there are times when
the lessons and opportunities for growth in these areas are most pronounced, or when past life credits becomes particularly activated. To
see if you are in a period especially influencing your 5th house issues, run your Planetary Influence report in Astroved for free. This
report will tell you your major and minor planetary period, called Dasha (major) and Bukti (minor). If your major or minor planet is either
the Ruler of your Fifth House or in the Fifth House, this will be a time of increased focus on 5th house conditions. If the planet is good for
you, look for an expansion of creativity and spiritual gain. If it is unfavorable, then there can be, for example, difficulty with your children,
blocks to studying, and/or romantic troubles.
