Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, and I wanted to really get how Venus in the 5th house plays out in real life. It’s all about pleasure, creativity, romance, right? So I decided to track it, like, really track it.
First, I looked up my own chart. Yep, Venus is smack-dab in my 5th. No surprises there, I guess, because I’ve always been a bit of a drama queen and I love anything to do with art and having fun.
Then, I started a journal. Just a simple notebook where I could jot down anything that felt related to Venus in the 5th. I broke it down into a few key areas:
- Creative Projects: What did I feel inspired to make? Did I actually start anything? How did it feel?
- Romance/Dating: Any dates? Flirtations? Even just daydreaming about someone? I wrote it all down.
- Fun & Pleasure: What did I do just for the sheer joy of it? Going out with friends? Watching a silly movie? Anything that made me feel good.
- Kids/Inner Child: This one’s a 5th house thing too. Did I spend time with kids? Did I do anything that felt playful and childlike?
I committed to writing in it every day, even if it was just a few lines. Some days were pretty boring, like, “Watched Netflix and ate ice cream. Felt good.” But other days were packed!
For example, one week I decided to try a pottery class. Total 5th house energy! I’d always wanted to, and it felt like the perfect time. I logged how I felt before, during, and after. Turns out, I’m terrible at pottery, but I had SO much fun. The feeling of the clay in my hands, the messy process… it was great!
Another time, I went on a date with someone I’d been chatting with online. I made sure to note how I felt beforehand (excited, nervous), how the date went (pretty good!), and how I felt afterward (hopeful!).
And honestly, even the small things started to stand out. Like, I noticed I was spending more time just doodling in my notebook during meetings. Or that I was choosing to wear brighter colors. Little things that felt connected to that Venusian desire for beauty and pleasure.
What I Learned
After a few weeks of this, I started to see patterns. I realized I was way more productive with creative projects when I gave myself permission to just play and not worry about the outcome. I also noticed that I felt way more energized when I made time for fun, even if it was just for a few minutes a day.
It wasn’t some magical transformation, but it was a real shift. By paying attention to these Venus in the 5th house themes, I felt more connected to myself and my *,It’s definitely a practice I’m going to keep up. It’s like having a little roadmap to happiness, you know?
