Each number, in numerology, is believed to have a vibration which has influence over personality and life trends. These numbers can be obtained from a person’s date birth or their name-numbers.

Number Five people seem to have a lot of nervous energy and this is what makes them sometimes seem so restless. Ruled by Mercury their minds are working all the time so even when they aren’t doing anything, it is hard for them to truly relax. Switching off their thoughts will seem almost impossible!

Being so mentally active, they are full of wonderful ideas; number Five people love change and variety and they are the ones who will inject a little spice into family and loving relationships, groups and friendships.

Choosing a compatible partner is important for their future happiness. Someone who understands their need for change, excitement and fun will for instance make them so much happier than a person who tries to curb their natural exuberance and keep them tied to routine.

People will see number Fives as being lively, witty, good at debates, quick to act in emergencies and difficult to pin down! Number Five characters are always there to help others out but will rarely hang around to witness the outcome of their endeavours; they will have moved on to the next challenge or exciting project.

Due to their restless spirit people who are influenced by the number Five are independent and they can be slightly rebellious if they don’t get their own way. They do well in jobs involving the public, commerce or travel.

To be a success in their career, they should make long-term aims for themselves and stick with them. Flitting from one job to another or giving the impression they don’t take their responsibilities seriously can hold them back at times.

Healthwise, it is when they become agitated and under pressure that number Five people will start to notice their energy levels drop or conversely they will become over-active and find it even harder to relax. This too is when they might develop stress-related illnesses such as muscular tension and indigestion. The most effective cure will be rest, relaxation and plenty of sleep. Chamomile tea can be great for stress. Lavender aromatherapy oil is also recommended while St John’s wort reishi might also be taken in times of stress and tension.

Although there are calculations associated with birth-dates and names to give each person’s specific numbers, the number Five can be also associated with those born on the 5th, 14th and  23rd  of any month. Planetary rulership of the number Five is the Mercury.
