In combination with the 1 Universal year of 2026, this month’s 5 energy (4 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 14; 1 + 4 = 5), adds increased intensity to many areas of our lives. Five is concerned with personal freedom, and hates being hemmed in. Freedom rarely occurs without major adjustments, and even upheaval.
Mercury is attributed to the 5 and oversees the zodiac signs of Gemini and Virgo. Clarity of purpose and being able to adapt to new and changing situations are qualities that will help move us forward.
We can dissipate some of the tension brought on by outer world happenings by availing ourselves of personal opportunities to do something special. The fun-loving 5 thrives on spontaneity and joyful experiences, as well as adventure. It is highly sensorial, as it relates to the 5 senses. I find touch really soothing and having had an extremely harrowing couple of weeks am looking forward to being pampered with a Reflexology treatment.
Sitting in the middle of the numerology grid to energetically connect with all other numbers, 5 is both heart-centred and intuitive. The heart is the core of our Being, and as our life force, its energy expands whatever it touches. Reaching out to connect with others for mutual emotional support is extremely beneficial at this time. Our hearts recognise truth, so using regular meditative techniques will bring balance and support our authenticity.
Earth happenings mirror the patterns in the sky, and astrologically we have an unusual tight grouping of planets in our skies – Sun, Neptune, Saturn, Venus and the Moon, along with the centaur Chiron, all moving forward in Aries. Chiron is known as the wounded healer, and in combination with this planetary stellium is supporting the purging of old and dark masculine energy. Ultimately, this cleansing will bring more Light to our planet.
With huge waves of planetary energy pushing us forward into new awareness, I hope this month brings many joyful experiences.
