Lesson 6: Design Your Dream Relationship

5th House Transits: ​​Passionate Encounters


When a planet transits through your 5th House, there may be developments with dating and courtship. Since this is the fertility zone, the transit may herald news about children or inspire co-created projects. How (and how much) you reveal your passions and enthusiasm will be affected by the planet transiting this house. For example, repressive Pluto can make you secretive, while the effusive Sun can have you gushing a mile a minute.

How this transiting planet may influence your life

Sun

Solar Transit

30 days

You're a walking telenovela, generating romantic heat—and even ratcheting up the drama factor—the minute you step into a room! Dress-up dates and high-profile partnerships? Yes, please. Bring on the arm candy—and the PDA! Now's the time to schedule those hot and sexy dates—or enjoy the ones that erupt spontaneously.  Under this show-stopping transit, you'll  turn heads and leave jaws on the ground. Give 'em something to talk about!

 

Moon

Lunar Transit

2.5 days

Emotions are epic, passionate and all over the place(!) when the moon transits through the fifth house. Not that you'll object! During this sensitized cycle, you want to feel it all, riding the roller coaster of love through the highs and lows. Feelings will be strong, but careful not to confuse them with facts.  You could be drawn someone who needs a lot of nurturing—but careful not to let the caretaking vibes turn parental!

Mercury

Transit

3 weeks

(up to 10 if retrograde)

An intellectual connection is a must! Creative expression, especially verbal and written, will be fluid, so compose those love letters and sext to your heart's content. You'll be "handsy" now, wanting to interlace fingers, learn how to give a great massage, or start a DIY project with your sweetie. You and people around you may be dramatic, emotional and colorful in self-expression. Socialize with your sweetie or go out often. You could meet someone on a  dating app or through common friends.

Venus

Transit

4-5 weeks

(up to 10 if retrograde)

Romance reigns! A passionate and sexy time for love, great for decadent dates, fun experiences and dressing to express your wild side. Send a love letter, practice your seduction skills, surprise your S.O. with a dream date. It's a great time for enjoying art, music, dance and cultivating creativity.

Mars

Transit

8 weeks

(up to 8 months if retrograde)

Make love...and war! Fireworks emerge in the form of passionate chemistry OR explosive arguments. There’s no holding back; everyone is bursting at the seams to express themselves. A pregnancy is possible (especially since you may be practicing a lot!). Clear the air of any repressed emotions.

Jupiter

Transit

12-13 months

Creative inspiration comes through travel, study or expanding your realm of influence. Attractions may ignite with someone from a foreign country or long-distance locale. It's a great time for romantic travel or meeting someone while vacationing. Pump up the world music, soak up art and culture from around the globe. Learn to speak a Romance language (literally and figuratively). Couples may want to take a fun class. The fifth house rules fertility, and with abundant Jupiter here, you could get pregnant with multiples!

Saturn

Transit

2.5-3 years

Dating must be purposeful when Saturn transits your fifth house. If you're on a mission to get married or make babies, there's no wasting time with people who don't have similar objectives. A busy work schedule—or inhibitions—could make it hard for you to get in the mood at times; though you might meet your best match through a work function! You may be celibate for part of this transit or want to take a break from dating. Since Saturn is associated with age and maturity, you may feel sparks with someone a bit older or settled down—or younger and far less experienced so you can have the upper hand.

Uranus

Transit

7 years

A beautiful and unconventional mind will be an essential quality of attraction. You could make a radical change to your dating style and even who you're attracted to—but you'll struggle to shake that burning attraction to the bad boys/girls. You may feel suffocated by too much stability in your love life, or have a desire to stir things up if you feel bored, restless or anxious. You could be tempted to rebel with an edgy flirtation or an affair. Uranus is the planet of surprises, so an unexpected pregnancy is possible. Or, you may try fertility treatments (such as IVF), since Uranus rules modern science and technology. It's a good time to meet someone online.

Neptune

Transit

15 years


A softer, more mystical side of you emerges—and you want to connect with dates in a soulful way that goes beyond words. Spiritual chemistry is essential! You may feel “led” to a prospective partner by a divine force. Since you'll be ultra-compassionate, you must guard against "rescue missions" and keep clear boundaries in place so as not to get swept up in a codependent (or overly submissive) dynamic with dates and mates.

 

Pluto

Transit

12-20 years



Hello, powerhouse! You radiate intensity during this karmic transit, which can bring wealthy, connected and powerful people into your sphere. Your magnetism multiplies, and people are drawn to you like moths to a flame—or repelled, if they can’t take the heat! You can certainly come on strong, and you may develop a penetrating gaze that makes people feel like you can see right through to their souls. You may start “power dressing,” wearing expensive clothes that radiate status. Because Pluto rules reinvention (a la the Phoenix rising from the ashes), this transit can bring extreme changes to your dating style and the choices you make in love. You may burn a bridge or two, or exit a destructive/ codependent situation and wipe the slate clean.
