The 5th signifies many things - fun, play, leisure, recreation, hobbies, interests, children, romance, etc. The sign, planets in the 5th, ruler of the 5th, aspects, placements etc could cause many different influences along with the rest of the chart. Yes, the moon is where we are supposed to be naturally instinctively comfortable. I think that perhaps we express our sun much later in life - maybe because we need quality there and are not easily satisfied.I can relate to this a lot.
My sun is in the 5th as well and I have always strove for, but have failed, at expressing myself through creativity. And I also struggle with most of the houses.
I think I over-value the 5th to the detriment of most of the houses. Most of my planets fall into this house.
I am naturally better at 6th house matters, which is where my moon is. Helping others comes naturally to me and makes me happy, but can also be a burden (family).
Your comment about scorpio moons having a mean streak caught my interest. One of my aunts has this tendency, and did a lot in childhood. In her case, her likely pluto/asc aspect plays a part too.
The 8th house is a hard one for me to figure out for some reason. Any thoughts on what a person would struggle with if they had sun there? My sister has that placement, but her sun is aries and rising is leo. She's pretty contradictory. The only things I've gleaned are that she really needs alone time (but in general has to be go-go-go non stop and needs to be with people) but she is extremely private. We both have that in common, but I think she is even moreso than me! (which is saying a lot since I am a sun/capricorn combo).
These questions are directed towards everybody, by the way. I just quoted bittermoon because I liked what they said.
