Sun in Aries in the Fifth House

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the sign that symbolizes new beginnings. It connotes quick changes and sudden forks in the road. With your Sun Sign in Aries, your life is marked by arriving at a certain place and then being turned in a new direction. Certainly, one can say your life is adventurous!

As an individual with your Sun in Aries, you gravitate toward the center of action. You are audacious and intent on getting your own way. Since your nature is to express power, you treat opposition as an annoyance to be brushed out of the way. You are a natural leader with your Sun in Aries, who exudes self-confidence. From an early age you feel you are headed for success. Happily, you are also generous about helping others in a crisis. You are an openhearted friend who shares ideas and advice, and likes to pick up the check. You have a quality of assistance. You are not interested in the small or petty. “Go for the best” is your motto. There is nothing faint or half-hearted about a Sun in Aries individual.

Whereas others may be more cautious, having your Sun in Aries, you actually enjoy living on the edge. A touch of recklessness makes you feel alive. The chase is always more thrilling than getting the goal. (As one Aries recently remarked rather insightfully, “Wanting is always better than getting.”) You are willing to take a gamble, follow a dream, set your mind on a goal, and pursue it with irresistible enthusiasm. Your supreme quality of optimism attracts others. Underneath there may lurk insecurity, but no one will ever know about it.

This is not to say you don’t get depressed or moody. But the winter of despair doesn’t last a week with a Sun in Aries. You have an unbreakable optimism. It is true, however, that individual with their Sun in Aries are notorious for taking offense at fancied slights and injuries. Hot tempers and childish tantrums abound, and your threshold of boredom is extremely low. If success is not immediate, you tend to lose interest and go in search of other excitement. As a result, patient, plodding types often get to the head of the class before you do.

Individuals with their Sun in Aries have a well-deserved reputation for not finishing what they have begun. You are very short of patience, and your lack of stick-to-itiveness is your weak spot. Also, you spend your energy in too many different ways. Independence is a keyword. You want to run the whole show. If you can’t, you pull up stakes and look for a situation in which you can show off your style and brilliance. Should you come up against a superior force, you will bend but never break. Your aggressive and combative spirit cannot be broken by anyone—except yourself. One of the pitfalls of having your Sun in Aries is that you’re essentially self-involved. Unless you make an effort to look outward at others and their feelings, you can easily become a spoiled brat.

Having your Sun in Aries, though generally sincere and honest, you will tell a white lie if it seems advantageous. You are not a very adept liar, however; others see right through you. Sometimes you lack tact and diplomacy, but no malice is intended. Sagittarians also lack this quality of tact because they don’t know how to be oblique or roundabout. With you, tactlessness is an impulsive act—a careless expression of your innate force. Too often you speak without thinking and say whatever pops into your mouth, and usually regret your impulsiveness later.

The Inner You with your Sun in Aries

With your Sun in Aries you like to be in charge – you want to control your own projects and plans and not be under anyone else’s thumb. You have an intense drive to succeed and put a lot of pressure on yourself. Inside, you’re filled with nervous energy and worry about how you’re going to handle everything.

The sign position of the Sun indicates how we seek to express ourselves, develop ourselves, fulfill ourselves, and assert our will and power to shape our environment. The house position indicates the area of life in which we choose to focus the energy of our Sun sign and fulfill the purpose which it represents.

Sun in the 5th House

With your Sun in the 5th House, your focus tends to be on the creative side of life. Your disposition is generally outward and extroverted. You are likely to be concerned with how you can express yourself in and to the world. Your primary mode of self-expression is likely to be creativity.

As an individual with your Sun in the 5th House, that which you create becomes an extension of yourself. Consequently, you generally become busy extending yourself in the world and increasing your personal interaction and personal exposure through creative engagement. Your goal in this is usually to obtain recognition and self-validation. Therefore, your well-being generally depends upon the response of others to your activities and to the image that you create through your persona. This need for recognition and validation may not be expressed directly.  Often, you project yourself through your creations and you interpret the world’s reactions to your creations personally. Therefore, you are likely to be heavily engaged in the process of creation and in interaction with what you have created.

Insecurities

Having your Sun in the 5th House, without a sense of your own independent self-worth or even being, you are totally dependent on recognition and appreciation from others for self-esteem and validation. However, being without an essential sense of self-worth, you are never satisfied with the recognition and validation that you receive. You attach yourself to your “creations” in order to suck self-awareness and being from them. This may manifest as an obsessive concern with or possessiveness toward your children, constantly promoting that to which you lay a claim of authorship, neurotic concern over how you are being perceived and how you are presenting yourself, taking undue risks in order to gain recognition, plotting against others in a battle for recognition and authority, or being too self-absorbed in your personality and self-expressions.

Focus of Your Self-Identity

With your Sun in the 5th House, you tend to identify with what you have created. To the extent that your persona is a creation of your psyche, you may identify with the external projection of your persona. However, you are likely to gain your sense of identity and self-worth from what you have made. If you identify your selfhood with those external objects that you have created, then you are vulnerable to your self-worth being affected by what happens to those objects and offspring and by how they are received and treated by the world. If you identify with the creative force within you that has allowed you to create and manifest yourself in the world, then you will be less dependent on externals. Aware of your creative potential, you know that you and your creations are separate and that, no matter what happens to your creatures, you still has the capacity to create. It is this creative capacity, then, that defines for you who you are.
