Planets are always moving and their movements take them across 
the Zodiac. Each planet has its own specialty. All plants rule two 
houses excepting the luminaries, Sun and Moon. When one 
considers the malefics like Saturn and Mars, generally there is a 
foreboding; the same can be also attributed to the two nodes Rahu 
and Ketu. Some planets are fast while others are slow. The fastest 
of all planets are Moon and the slowest of them all is Saturn. Hence 

if Saturn is in an unfavorable location by its transit, it continues to 
trouble us for two and half years. Rahu and Ketu are also slow and 
they move in a pair in a span of one and half years. However as 
Astrology is a vast subject and it is impossible for us to see the end 
of it, there is no harm in looking at the skyline and enjoying the 
horizon of knowledge that can it can bestow upon us about 
ourselves, how we are and what we can become. 

The 5th house is one of the yardsticks to our past deeds. Close 
inspection of this house, its lord and various other factors 
connected to this gives a picture of the reservoir of deeds that a 
human carries forward. There is a saying that, "the status of 
children reflect the parent's good or bad deeds". This is a very 
critical factor in each individual's life as most parents find ultimate 
contentment in the glory of their off –spring.

This house also relates to our emotional bond with our partner. One 
can draw conclusions about the nature of the person in romantic 
involvements. Faith, warm heartedness, mental connection with the 
partner etc are lime lights of this zone.

Many other very important aspects are attached to the 5th house 
which provides important protections to our life forces. Among them 
I find the most fascinating power of this house in context to life in 
general is its power of recovery of any kind. A good 5th house, 
assures the person of the power to recover from any ailing 
situation, be it health or a bad bank debt or a broken love affair. 
Hidden behind this recovery factor lies the power of hope and 
positivism. Any person who has a very strong 5th house has great 
possibilities in life. If other astrological factors do not negate or 
affect it in any way, the person is sure to be well rewarded for all 
efforts. 

Most planets do very well in this house and even malefics. So when 
your 5th house lord is also the ruler of the 12th house, a malefic 
house, it continues to be a benefic planet. This is irrespective of the 
possibility of it being a malefic also. As I mention a certain 
significance of astrological condition, I must also remind you that 
there is no black and white, a shade of grey is always a possibility. 
So do not be in a hurry to conclude about your astrological.
