Dear women: what’s your 5th house like and what’s your child situation?

Saturn in Aquarius in the 5th. I never intend to have children. Not for me I'm afraid. I would see them as a Saturnian burden and a severe limitation on my life (amongst other personal reasons). Also I just have the mentality of "why bring more children into the world?" We're overpopulated as it is.

And don't get me wrong, I don't dislike children at all- I have a Cancer Sun and Moon so kids (and animals) absolutely love me and I can be very maternal towards them. But mostly my nurturing energy goes towards pets and hopefully in the future (once I get my career going) towards clients (my Cancer planets are in the 10th). My sister wants to have children and I've no doubt I'll spend a lot of time with them, but I'll be the "interesting, fun aunt" and nothing more :)

Ps- sometimes I'll get the old "you'll want them when your older" speech. I really think it's time people accepted that not every woman wants to be a mother.
