The 5th House Healing Guide
The 5th house in astrology represents your heart center — where you express love, art, and joy.
It’s the house of creation — both in art and in life. It is called the House of Purva Punaya. The results are based on what karmas you have done in the past and the Soul has done in the past lives.
Working consciously with it helps you reconnect to your inner child, passions, and purpose.
