What the 5th house governs
The 5th house rules intelligence, children, creativity, romance, speculation. Read it through three things: the sign on the cusp, any planets sitting in it, and the condition of its lord elsewhere in the chart. A house is rarely judged by occupancy alone — an empty house is not an empty area of life.
