Number Five

The number five is under the influence of the planet Mercury and brings the gifts of communication. Fives tend to be quick witted, intelligent and adaptable. These people can make themselves at home anywhere. They often have a wicked sense of humour and can sometimes seem to be a bit reckless. Fives like to try new things and will often jump in with both feet before they really know what they’re getting into. Unfortunately this can sometimes cause problems as fives have a tendency to over indulge, whether it’s chocolate, alcohol or even drugs.
Fives are the social butterfly’s of numerology. They have an inquisitive nature and will flit from one thing to another as the mood takes them. These people are very sociable and love a good party. Fives are great jokers and are often the life and soul of the party.
Change is important to the number five, so is freedom. Fives don’t like to be tied down and need to explore new ideas and new places. These people love to travel and experience different cultures and ways of life. They always like to come home though to their own space.
Fives have a natural gift for communication, on all levels, whether it’s on the internet, with the spoken word or writing. They often make excellent story tellers or writers.
Five’s are adventurous, friendly people who often have the gift of the gab. They genuinely like talking to people, they’re also good listeners, but because of their generous spirit they will often tell you what you want to hear rather than what they really think.
The influence of this number brings a great enthusiasm for life and it’s difficult to feel depressed in the company of a number five. However, fives need to learn to keep themselves grounded and to realise that sometimes it’s better to do less things well than to spread themselves too thinly. There is a tendency to overstretch yourself and become hyper-active. This is especially true with children of this number, who should be provided with some means of channelling their energy in a positive way.
On a higher level five is the number of magic and these people often have a natural understanding of the unseen forces of nature and an ability to manipulate those energies in a creative way.
Suggested areas for careers are; Music, Research, Newspaper or magazine editor or Travel rep. Fives are also suited to Reiki healing.
