Personal Year number
5
Numbers describe tendencies in a symbolic tradition. They cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.
About this number
Count through the round and 5 sits exactly in the middle of the nine, and that position shapes much of what practitioners say about it: a midpoint, a change of direction, some loosening after the discipline of 4. Balliett in 1905 also called 5 the start of a new cycle, in a passage about minds with no calendar involved.
Taylor gives the 5 day a busy list of investigating prospects and studying human nature. The sum itself is indifferent to all that. October 7 and the year 2022 give 10 + 7 + 2022 = 2039, then 14, then 5, and someone with a different birthday gets a different digit for that same year, so the count never describes a season people share.
