Five is a
male number, being odd (isn't that
appropriate...). It is also a
sex number like
three, but for
different reasons.
Three, the
godlike "best" number, is the number of
sex for procreation, the
creation number. Five, however, is the first
female number (2) added to the first
male number (3), so it is the number of
sex for fun. (By the way, 3 is the first odd number in numerology and most
ancient number systems. One isn't a number; it's a
Unity.)
The
qualities of five can all be pretty much
inferred from sex:
Quickness,
impulsiveness,
passion, and
resilience. A five-person is usually thought of as the
rash, "hot" type; lives
hard and fast and hates being
tied down.
Five is also the number of
Nature, because it is the
Unity added to four (the number of
substance). That's right,
God plus
stuff equals
Nature. Hm, who'd have known? Anyway, the
nature thing is why
pentagrams and other
world-symbols are often
five-sided or
five-pointed. On to
six...
