Fifth House - Creativity and Progeny
What is the "baggage" (Karma) a person carries from their previous birth? How much effortless luck (fortune) will they receive in this life? The answer to these questions lies in the Fifth House. It is primarily called 'Putra Sthana' (House of Children), 'Purva Punya Sthana' (Past Life Merits), and 'Mantra Sthana'. As a Trikona (Trine) house (1, 5, 9), it is one of the most auspicious houses in a horoscope and is also considered a Lakshmi Sthana (House of Grace and Wealth).
Classification of Primary Significations
The Fifth House symbolizes a person's intellect, creativity, and divine grace. Its significations are categorized below:

The Fifth House also provides interesting insights into relatives:
- Second Sibling: The 3rd house represents the younger sibling. The 3rd from the 3rd is the 5th house. Therefore, it represents our second younger brother or sister.
- Luck of Father: The 9th house is the father's house. The 9th from the 9th is the 5th house. Hence, it indicates the father's luck or righteousness (and sometimes grandfathers).
- Gains of Spouse: Being the 11th from the 7th house, it signifies the friends or income of the spouse.
