Look to your 5th house environment to see where you shine. The 5th house deals with creative energy. This is your creative gift to share with the world. Use the Ascendant Ruler as the 1st house and count onward to find the true 5th house in the chart.
In our example the Ascendant ruler is Uranus in the 3rd house. This is the 1st house of the chart noted 3rd as 1st. The 5th house would be Leo/Virgo noted 7th as 5th. By reviewing keywords for the houses, we would be able to see that this person chooses to express creativity (5th) by dealing with others’ personalities/identities (7th).

3. Where do the planetary rulers reside in the chart?
We know that the planetary ruler(s) of the 5th house identify what the person’s creative gifts are, but now let’s see what environment(s) these planets have chosen to manifest their creative gifts.
Libra 8th as 6th house
Mercury in the 8th as 6th- useful, nourishment, healing, service (6th) through spiritual transformation, deep psychology (8th)
Communication, writings, rationale (Mercury) that nourishes, heals (6th) through deep, insightful psychology, breaking down and rebuilding, transformations (8th house); the 8th house is the intervention process that breaks down the subject in order to get to the essence of what the subject is. It is a tough healer. It preys upon the weak with the intent to make them better than before. It is removing the excess parts of ourselves that binds us to the earth in order to be spiritually uplifted. Mercury in this environment has the creative gift of communicating ideas and rationale that is deep and insightful. This person heals others (8th house) through their message (Mercury).
Sun in the 8th as the 6th- the life force, power urge (Sun) to be useful , serve (6th) through spiritual healing, rebirth, transformations (8th house); The creative power (Sun) to heal, nourish, perfect (6th) the spiritually wounded (8th)
Are the planets in a house that is on the East or West coast? What quadrant are the planets in?
Mercury and the Sun reside in the Western hemisphere (houses 4-9). The Western hemisphere shows where we are molded by circumstances.
Conformity (Western) vs. Individuality (Eastern)
In a Western house, a planet puts energy out and it molds the environment.
In the example this person influences/molds others with his creative energy.
When the planets are in the Eastern hemisphere (houses 10-3) the person keeps the energy inward and molds the self. They will be inclined to keep their gifts to themselves. Houses in the Eastern hemisphere are individualistic, self-motivating, and self-serving.
Mercury and the Sun are in the 3rd quadrant (houses 7, 8, 9). This quadrant is where energy is outer-directed. It is going out into the world and interacting with others.
4. What signs are the planetary rulers in?
The sign is the outlet in which the planetary ruler operates.
Mercury in Libra- communicating ideas, writing, rational thinking (Mercury) through knowledge, books, relating to others (Libra)
Sun in Libra- life force, creative power (Sun) dealing with others’ personalities/identities (Libra)
Life force (Sun) is balance, harmony, peace (Libra)
5. Planetary Relations
We examine the following to see how the ruling planets or energies of the house signs influence the creative energies of the planet(s) in question.
5-1. Look to see the planet’s relationship with the planetary ruler of the current house sign.
5-2. Look to see the planet’s relationship with the planetary ruler of the natural house sign.
Also, what type of house energy activates the planets therein?
Active (1, 4, 7, 10)
Fixed (2, 5, 8, 11)
Mental (3, 6, 9, 12)
In the example the planets Mercury and the Sun are in the 8th as 6th house of Libra corresponding to fixed (8th) mental (6th) playgrounds for Mercury and Sun.
5-1.The planetary ruler of the current house sign Libra is Venus.
Mercury in relation to Venus, ruler of Libra
Peaceful, harmonious, appealing (Venus) communication, writings, rationale (Mercury)
Venus is in the 9th as 7th house which is a mentally (9th) active (7th) house environment. The mental activity of Venus will be harmonious, peaceful, and loving.
5-2. The natural house signs are Virgo, ruled by Mercury (6th) and Scorpio, ruled by Pluto/Mars (8th)
Mercury is the ruler of Virgo (6th). In its own house of Virgo the vibrations of Mercury are powerful.
The natural 8th house Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and co-ruled by Mars. Mercury and Mars/Pluto are said to be enemies, but I do not believe this to be true. Mercury fecundates the mind so that thoughts and ideas take definite form. Mars and Pluto are action-oriented planets that bring these thoughts and ideas into manifestation so that they become real assets. We do (Mars) what we think (Mercury).
Here in the 8th house the thoughts we communicate (Mercury) become the actions we take (Mars) to transform, regenerate (Pluto).
5-1. Sun in relation to Venus, ruler of Libra
Peaceful, harmonious, appealing (Venus) life force, creative power (Sun)
Sun is in fall in Libra. The life force (Sun) is divorced from the self (Aries- opposes Libra) and attached to others (Libra).
5-2. Sun in relation to Mercury, ruler of Virgo (6th)
Communications, mental awareness (Mercury) through creative power, life force (Sun)
Sun in relation to Pluto/Mars, ruler of Scorpio (8th)
Regenerative, healing (Pluto) life force, creative power (Sun)
Active, courageous, pioneering (Mars) life force, creative power (Sun)
To see if the energies (planets) thrive or clash together we examine the planetary aspects.
6. What are the planetary aspects?
In the example we see that the planetary ruler of the 5th house - Mercury - is conjunct Mars and square Pluto. It sits between Venus and Mars. What is the relationship between the planets?
We see that Mercury is conjunct Mars. This should be joint energies working together but how effective is the collaboration?
Mars energy is action but it is not in an active house. We can assume this is a passive person. This person may be all talk (Mercury) but no action (Mars).
The person’s communication, ideas (Mercury) are fixed and mental. Mercury is square (does not agree with) Pluto. Fixed (8th) mental (6th) communications (Mercury) does not agree with mental (6th) activity (4th) that is harsh, destructive (Pluto). Mercury sits between Venus and Mars. It is the middle ground, reasoning (Mercury) between love (Venus) and war (Mars).
The Sun is conjunct Jupiter, square Saturn, trine Uranus, and conjunct Chiron.
The Sun and Jupiter work as joint energies in the 8th as 6th house. The life force, creative power (Sun) is super aware, Godly, high-minded, expansive in thinking (Jupiter). The Sun is square (does not agree with) Saturn. The life force, creative power (Sun) does not agree with (square) restrictions, control (Saturn). This shows that the creative power of the person is not limited. The Sun is trine (complies with) Uranus. The life force, creative power (Sun) complies with individualism, self-will (Uranus). With the Sun in the 8th as 6th house, the life force operates through fixed (8th) mental (6th) creativity. The Sun is also conjunct Chiron, the healer. The life force (Sun) heals the wounded (Chiron).
What is the love received for your creative gift to others?
Aquarius/Pisces 1st as 11th- the identity, persona (1st) receives love, world praise, ability to enjoy retirement (11th) from humanitarian works, universal impact, forward thinking approaches (Aquarius) that brought spiritual enlightenment, freed the mentally imprisoned (Pisces)
