Anyone else have this? I don't relate to much of the textbook stuff except the part about not having children but as for fun and creativity? Nothing like that is hampered in my life. I am the most creative person I know. I have it in Aries and Chiron is in there also.

 How does it play out in your life?

I have saturn in libra in my 5th house! I also have my pluto and jupiter there too. I've heard that it can stifle your fun side but that's far from the truth with me. Most people have told me Im the most fun (and also creative) person they know too.

However, I'd believe the part about me having trouble baring children. I'm at the age where most of my friends have children and although I'm in no place to have them I've been lucky enough to have never been pregnant. My mother had issues conceiving too. So makes sense in that regard. Maybe Saturn helps ground your creativity? So, even though it's not a creative placement if you have other aspects that point towards creativity your saturn in the 5th only makes you more grounded in actualizing your creative pursuits? I think that's the case with me...I'll say I'm writing a book or painting a painting and I actually go do it. IS that the case with you?

Taking your creativity seriously. Taking your fun seriously. Capricorn rules my 5th. Also, serious stuff is FUN to me. Take me to a drama over a comedy most days.

Maybe you can teach (saturn as the teacher) others how to use their creativity
Yeah, with chiron there, you have something to teach others
I don't have kids; not sure if I will--

Have you guys read this @ astro? http://www.astro.com/astrology/in_dgfifthhouse_e.htm

Gave me a whole different perspective on the 5th house...

In any case, I have jupiter/saturn in the 5th.

I was recently diagnosed with PCOS, which contributes to my 5th house fertility issues, but it is manageable thankfully. Though, I have always struggled with the issue of whether or not I actually want children. I often think that I would never have gotten "baby brain" had my man not said he was interested in having a couple kids...

Wow! So interesting. Alicia that astro article was a revelation. I will be rereading that for a long time. Wouldn't jupiter there as well help balance your saturn energies?

Interesting comment Moon - me too. I love serious fun.

Whos - sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Seems like I've led my life on a trail of whimsey.

Saturn is also opposite Mercury in Libra the 11th and trine Mars in Sag the first.The reason I'm probing is that I don't have a dream or a goal anymore. I am 42 and I don't know what I want to do with my life. Something is telling me to listen to Saturn. Plus he's been over my virgo stellium for two years and I'm beat down. :)

Ive got Saturn in the Fifth and my father stopped me doing art.  How classic is that?

So I'm in my forties now (Saturn) and have taken myself off to art school (5th house). I guess I may have got hit hard because I'm Cap sun in the 4th with Aquarius in the 5th, and my father was Aquarius with a Cap stellium.  I never wanted kids but found myself with one unexpectedly and strangely enough I think it was having him that started the process of turning this whole thing around, transforming fear into the acceptance of responsibility, first for his life and now for mine.  In which I see it is my responsibility (Saturn) to release my creativity (5th).

Also, during my twenties I partied HARD, I mean non-stop, until I hit my SR, and realised I had to grow up.

I've got Saturn in Virgo in the 5th.  (Just had my SR, suppose I'm still going through it even though it's a few degrees beyond now.)  Jupiter is there too, btw.

Everything I do creatively takes tons of work.  I love sports,  and am very athletic, but I was never the best.  I also do a lot of creative work, and my output is small compared to the time I put in.  Again, I have a natural talent, but I have to put in a lot of work to fine tune it.  A friend of mine and I shared a studio years ago, and she was like a machine, putting out painting after painting.  Her portfolio was amazing and effortless (it seemed).  I had a lot less, and tons of "mistakes" in a pile.  I got it done, developed my talent, had some great works, but it took so much time and effort!  

I very much admire people who succeed based on effort and hard work.  Anything that comes easy seems boring to me.

Echoing the sentiments here: yes! I also work hard at my creative stuff. It feels like work to me. I mean, it's fun but it's work and it's deep. It's serious. My art (my writing) is serious. Wouldn't say it's saturn though, more pluto...

moonpluto, I like how you put that! 

No planets in my 5th house but Capricorn is on the cusp so Saturn rules that house in my chart (although 2/3 of that house actually falls in Aquarius). I do have a couple of asteroids in Aquarius in the 5th, including Pallas and Juno. As many others with this placement have said, I take my creativity and play very very seriously. No one relaxes and plays like me. And I put a lot of work into my creative outlets: music and writing. I'm thorough and dedicated and meticulous in my preparation of music and its presentation. When it comes to writing I edit and re-edit things over and over, and I do a great deal of research on topics that are in the stories I write so that I'm as accurate as possible.

It's the other aspects of the 5th house where I see the grim, restrictive Saturn influence: dating and children. Although I love kids I never wanted to have any of my own. Part of it is probably this placement, part of it is that there was violence in my family, which didn't start there of course. My father's father was violent too, and the cycle just continued, as it always does if people just continue on with no self-awareness or a drive to change. I wonder if that kind of cycle is related to Saturn. Maybe Pluto? I was so afraid that if I had kids I'd end up perpetuating the cycle, so I decided a long time ago that I wouldn't have any. I do have a 3-year-old niece now, who I adore. One of the things my brother and his wife love when they visit is that I run around and play with Lily and they get a much-needed break. Lily's a Virgo rising just like her aunt.
