Number 5

Symbolism

According to the Pythagoreans, number 5 symbolizes human perfection and marriage. Those who have this number in a key position in their numerology chart are gifted with mental alertness which reflects in their insatiable thirst for knowledge. They distinguish themselves from others through their sociability, restlessness, spontaneity as well as their love for travel. Although they may seem outgoing, spontaneous, adventurous and ahead of their time, one of their dominant drawbacks is their short temper.
