Meghan - 5th House
Here’s the first installment of “The Meghan Project”. For once, the word limit is about right!!, but please still let me know what you think is most interesting … (Don’t forget to use the glossary if there are terms that are unfamiliar).
5 Fifth House
The fifth house represents children, creativity, investments, good past life karma, intelligence and improving one’s life. Meghan’s fifth house has two indications for prosperity as Mars is in the 1st house and aspecting its own house. However, the fifth house is suffering 3 indications for annihilation stemming from Mars being a malefic and debilitated. Unusually, all these indicators relate to Mars itself, so the situation of Mars is going to play an enormous role in the success of this house. It is worth noting that Mars is the only planet in the chart that achieves a positive Drik Bala score. Mars is actually receiving planetary aspect from Moon, Jupiter and Venus and on balance receiving much more positive support from benefics than trouble from malefics. This is important when considering the prosperity of the house because Mars is the sole influence on that calculation in this case.
5.1 Person’s Life Experience
Meghan has one child and works in a creative industry. She is intelligent with a degree in Theatre and International Relations. Meghan is an inspiring motivational speaker who and is well known for improving her life.
5.2 Sign
Scorpio is a tamasic, moksha and water element sign that represents the reproductive organs. It is a fixed sign whose symbol is a scorpion in a hole. It is associated with psychology, occult and hidden knowledge because of its link with dark places like holes and caves.
Scorpions are passive creatures who prefer to avoid confrontation and retreat to their holes in times of trouble. However, when poked, they will strike with their tail. Since Meghan and Harry’s relationship became public, they have employed both stances. Initially, they retreated from engaging in scandals about their life (i.e. not commenting on Meghan’s father’s or step-sister’s behaviour before the wedding). Later, they took a more aggressive stance than is perhaps usual for the royals. First in a statement in 2016 requesting respect from the Press (Royal.uk 2016). And then in 2019 with the launching of lawsuits (Wikipedia 2020) and (Heffer 2019). These legal actions to protect the life that Meghan has created could be seen as stemming from the fifth house taking place in Scorpio.
5.3 Planet
Mars is cruel, fiery, masculine and of the Warrior caste. It is a karaka for strength, courage, energy, logic and is idealistic.
Mars in Meghan’s chart is debilitated in Cancer. It is however the strongest planet in Shad bala and not being attacked by any planets. It is being delighted by the Moon meaning that Mars’s actions are aligned with Meghan’s emotions. This makes it feel good to take action.
This delight in taking action is reflected in Meghan’s biography as she is a person who has actively designed and improved her life. She feels empowered and encourages others to be empowered too (i.e. she was an advocate for the U.N. Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (Wikipedia 2020), she made several empowerment speeches including in South Africa in 2019 (Young 2019) and at the U.N. in 2015 (The Sydney Morning Herald 2018).
5.4 Bhava Yogas
5.4.1 Ascendant Yogas
Mars forms a natural yoga of the 5th and 10th lords in the chart of a Cancer ascendant. This is a happy yoga in that it involves a trinal house and an angular house. It means that the 5th house’s impulse to improve life will be linked with activity in the real world. The person will be idealistic about how the world can change for the better. Meghan’s Mars has 117% of dig bala, so she will be able to clearly hear the directions Mars is giving to her. The only thing to keep in mind is that Mars is debilitated and this may cause Meghan to see the world in terms of victims that need protecting. The placement of Mars in Cancer will not necessarily provide solid ground from which to engineer solutions. Therefore, Mars might find itself in the sensitive world of ideal emotions rather than in practically solving problems.
5.4.2 5th in the 1st
The fifth lord in the first house links creativity, children and empowerment with the person’s life path. Meghan became famous in the creative field of acting and is almost equally famous for empowering women and girls (see Section 5.3). It was well known the Meghan wanted to have children (Barr 2019). It can give one a “lovely body” (Kurczak 2014, p 216) and Meghan was well known for her body as an actress on “Suits” and a suitcase model on “Deal or No Deal”. It can connect one to royalty (as the 5th is a royal house) and make one lucky – although, with Mars as the planet it question, this luck has come from taking action.
