What this house holds
This is the house of what lights you up. Falling in love, having fun, making something that came from you, taking a chance.
It is also read for children, and for the things we bring into the world with our whole heart.
How it was read before
Older astrology gave this house to Leo and the Sun and called it the house of pleasure. It was read for love affairs, entertainment, speculation and children.
For a nation it held ambassadors, banquets, theatres and education.
Sit with this
When did you last do something just because it made you happy? Joy is not a reward you earn once the work is done.
Let yourself play a little. It brings your energy back to life.
