So, here Creativity of person expands to a greater deal. This is a highly creative person and must follow his creative pursuits as Career. They can be great mentors too for others in matters of Creativity.

Saturn - Saturn also can be 12th house ruler through its two signs.

In either sign (Aquarius/Capricorn) as 12th house lord, Saturn in 5th house (for Pisces/Aquarius Ascendants respectively) shows a person who has a really serious outlook about studies and education. They treat education as their duty/responsibility and in such cases, fun part of life takes a back seat. It shows some real stressful relations which become burden in 20s and break with time. Saturn here gives long duration relations and then it breaks, so the pain of separation is long lasting. Loss of 12th house is coming to 5th house of Romance. They realize their creative side only in 30s. Saturn's 3rd aspect delays the marriage and hence child birth also gets delayed. Overall, it is a position of person who is seriously involved in studies and willing to leave fun part of life at least in 20s. Education may be delayed or blocked for some time or they may have to repeat a class at sometime. They should make their Career in Education, Law, Govt etc. Career in Creative field will only happen in their 30s.

Rahu - If Rahu is 12th house Lord through its sign Aquarius, as it co-rules Aquarius along with Saturn, and sits in 5th house in Cancer then 1st of all we need to make sure of Saturn's position as it is the main ruler. Rahu in Cancer in 5th house will transform Rahu as Moon as Rahu changes its nature as per the lord of sign it is placed in. At the same time, Rahu's basic nature of being insatiable will remain there. Rahu in Cancer in 5th house shows a highly emotional person towards children. For them, their child is everything. They will do anything to make their child happy. They are emotional otherwise too and may react on polarities of emotions, i.e. either too happy or too sad. 5th house and Rahu both represent creativity. They must pursue a creative career. It shows a great career in Cinema, Arts and other such creative pursuits. Rahu in 5th house is also an indication towards worldly and life long fame. So, all the reasons to pursue a creative side of life.

Ketu - Likewise, If Ketu is 12th house Lord through its sign Scorpio, as it co-rules Scorpio along with Mars, and sits in 5th house in Aries then 1st of all we need to make sure of Mars' position as it is the main ruler. As Ketu isolates/separates a person from the things related to the house Ketu is sitting, here Creativity suffers. These people are isolated from being creative and attaining higher education, means they themselves won't be motivated to study any further after basic education. Likewise, they are not too much into sports, not even as a kid. Love relations would always end in painful breakups or cheating, so much so that later they won't even be inclined to any love relation. Education related with Occult, Mysticism and Spirituality will interest them and they will research about it. Meditation is going to heal them. Ketu in Aries means person is unaware of his own individuality & uniqueness and meditation helps him in achieving that.
