As per Indian astrology the 5th is the triad house of 1, 5, and 9 which has connection with birth, karma and dharma (meaning the right action). This is a very interesting triad because man is born to experience the results/retributions for the past actions. The kind of actions performed is indicated by the 5th house, its lord and planets associate with the 5th house in a horoscope. If they were good then the 9th house is equally good giving him further opportunities to do well to the world.

The houses 1, 5, 9 also signify the parental relations such as 1st is self, 5th is the child, and 9th is the father of self. 1 being 5th from 9th is the self or fathers son. The cycle goes on endlessly.

5th also stands for higher education in an Indian horoscope and also specialization, research etc. When connected with 9th the higher education takes place in a foreign country. Any planet irrespective of whether it is a malefic or benefic is good in 5th house. It is also known as house of Mantra siddhi.
