Mars in the 5th house

The 5th house covers romance, creative work, children and play. Mars here pursues. Attraction is direct and acted on quickly, sport and competition are genuine pleasures, and creative work gets made with force rather than patience. Parenting is active and physical. The cost is the chase valued above what it catches, risks taken for the thrill in them, and a temper that shows up in games and love affairs more readily than anywhere else.
