What 5 means
Five sits in the middle of the nine digits, the hinge of change. It is the number of the five senses, the five fingers and the pentagram that Pythagoreans used as their sign of health. Ruled by quick Mercury, it is curiosity, freedom and hunger for experience. Fives are magnetic, witty and adaptable; they sell, travel and entertain. The shadow is excess: restlessness, recklessness, addiction and an allergy to commitment.
