Because you can't really get to the 8th house without travelling through the 7th first - that's the place you first "meet" someone on a personal level.
So you probably can't have the "fun" of the 5th house without it being connected to the 7th at the same time, because true intimacy (8th house) comes when you learn to relate to another person (7th house).
And your 5th and 8th houses are connected, so if you want to enjoy the former, you have to satisfy the latter.
The 5th house is pretty childish and self-centered, it doesn't really care about "other" as much as it cares about its own fun and ejoyment.
But here you'd have to take the "partnership" and "intimacy" element into account, and only then will you be able to have fun and enjoy everything your 5th house as to offer.
Hope this makes sense to you..
Mercury retro, hah.
Thank you for replying to my thread and trying to make me feel better. I was just considering my past failed relationships and how it disheartens me, this placement. But what you said about the 7th makes sense. Except my 7H ruler squares my 8H Mars..thus it's squaring my 5h Ruler.
Sigh... no luck in love. And my Saturn squares my ASC/DES axis. Yikes. LOL... I'm bound to be a spinster aren't I. A good looking one hopefully one day.
What do you think it means to have the ruler of the 7th squaring the ruler of the 5th? It's an out of sign square, Merc Scorpio square 29 Cancer Mars. To me it almost feels like I wanna jump into intimacy sooner [not necessarily sex!] than the other person. IDK...
So maybe it means that because my 7h Ruler is squaring my 5H ruler in the 8th, I have to learn how to open myself and my mind up to connecting to another person in order to experience love and passion? And trust more maybe? I'm a little lost about it all.
