CONCERNING THE FIFTH HOUSE AND THE PLANETS THEREIN.
The fifth house has relation to theatres, music halls, children, education, the birth-rate, schools and places of amusement.
The Lunation falling in the fifth house will bring matters connected with these affairs to the front. If well aspected it shows benefits, and if evilly aspected the reverse.
The Sun in the fifth is favourable for educational matters, children, and theatres generally. If evilly aspected it denotes losses to places of amusement, heavy expenses, and illness and death of noted theatrical artists.
The Moon in the fifth, well aspected, shows that the people generally will be inclined to amusements. It will benefit theatres, and increase their receipts. If evilly aspected, it denotes trouble to women and children, immorality, and much crime against children, cases of ill-treatment being brought to light.
Mercury in the fifth shows activity in theatrical circles, new plays, and ventures; is good for educational matters and those which affect children and their welfare. If afflicted, shows theatrical law-suits, disputes over educational matters, and adversely affects the interests of schools and the like.
Venus in the fifth, well aspected, tends to increase the birth-rate; is favourable for girls and women; benefits theatres, and denotes honours to prominent actors. If afflicted, it denotes much vice and immorality, cases of cruelty to women and children, criminal assaults, and similar disgusting outrages.
Mars in the fifth brings troubles to theatres, such as fires and disturbances; illness and deaths of actors and singers; much crime against women and children; fires and accidents in schools and to pleasure parties. If afflicted, the evil is much increased.
Jupiter in the fifth benefits all matters coming under the rule of this house, increases the birth-rate and is favourable for schools and education, causes losses and heavy expenses to theatrical concerns, and failure in speculative adventures.
Saturn in the fifth house lowers the birth-rate, shows much trouble to women and children, illness and high mortality from disease, great depressing in theatrical circles, and deaths and indisposition among noted people in that profession. If much afflicted it in creases the evil, and causes crime against women and children, and much vice, distress and immorality.
Uranus in the fifth causes explosions in theatres, schools and places of amusement; adversely affects educational matters, and produces much disputation therein. Many unlooked-for occurrences will take place. It also denotes disaster to children and pleasure parties.
Neptune in the fifth house denotes much vice and immorality, increase of illegitimacy, scandals in theatrical circles, crime against women and children, disturbs educational affairs, and denotes a great increase in betting and gambling.
