The 5th House: Sharing Life Stories

In episode 473 astrologer Chris Brennan talks to listeners of the podcast who share stories about 5th house placements in their birth chart. This is a precursor to an upcoming episode being researched on the meaning of the 5th house in astrology where we will focus on looking at celebrity example charts, and in this episode the goal was to interview some listeners of the podcast and talk with them about their 5th house placements directly. This episode was recorded on November 24, 2024 with a group of patrons of The Astrology Podcast who signed up through my page on Patreon. The webinar ended up being incredible in helping us to get to some really core meanings of the 5th house, and each person shared some really striking stories about the unique way the 5th house manifested in their life. This episode is available in both audio and video versions below.
