Changes fall under the influences of the number 5. Ruled by the planet Mercury it indicates travel for business or  pleasure.  Another indicator for Mercury is the use of words in any form. Perhaps you will render services for others using a word processor or write a book. Lecturing, teaching, radio, television, advertising, telephone sales and writing as well as any communication career or job are highly favorable at this time. Consider turning some details of your life over to other people if it becomes too much for you to handle. If you write a book, you may want to let someone else do the publishing or distributing.                
 
This is a year that will be financially stable for you and brings an increase of friends. The 5 is supportive of business and  travel and can increase your appreciation of your  surroundings. Business partnerships can begin now, but be cautious when signing any new deals or contracts without careful scrutinization.

The communications fields such as writing, speaking or lecturing will enjoy success through popularity with the masses.  It's okay to take a few risks or compete with others now providing you don't overdo it. Any business that is started within the 5 year will go through many changes before it settles down, and this is a year to expect the unexpected!

The 5 year is a time to make some important decisions, experiencing increased sexual magnetism and finding yourself extremely busy. Meetings, appointments, errands, telephoning people, public functions and social occasions are favored.  You will find that suddenly people need your special expertise, which can leave you overwhelmed for some time off!  Communications are sure to increase, and restless energy will keep you very active. Sexually, you may become quite magnetic to the opposite sex, so make sure to surround yourself with desirable people. Your nerves will be more on edge, so refrain from any drugs, alcohol or stimulants. Be sure to keep your mind on what you are doing to prevent accidents. Any marriages started under the 5 year can face difficulties through changes.

Expect the mind to be stimulated and the gateway to your thinking processes to swing open for new data, knowledge and understanding. Use this time to read, write, compose music, work in the theater and institute physical exercise to gain the full potential of this energy.

Your popularity is at a high point now, and every effort should be made to take advantage of all opportunities that come to you at this time. You have so many different activities going on that it might be difficult to stick with just one.  Any emergencies or crisis that arrive can have you nicknamed "Johnny on the Spot", as you jump in to save the day.

Friendly, well intentioned, jovial and social impulses should be a welcomed relief from the rigidity of last year.  Are you seeking the appropriate time for getting rid of the past and welcoming new experiences?  Well, this is the time!  Get out of that rut and experience the world around you. See what exists in the world beyond your present  understanding. The 5 has the blessing of getting you moving and you may very well physically move your home or at least travel about.

You can act somewhat irresponsible and reckless now, which can lead to accidents. Resources can easily go out the window while spending on mindless inconsequentials to satisfy the ego and pleasure centers. You can easily make financial mistakes as well that cause you to be short when you thought you were ahead of the game.

Be prepared for romantic encounters of all kinds to find you, usually in people much younger than yourself. The astrological signs Taurus, Gemini, Virgo and Libra are highlighted. All of these good times can take its toll on you through insomnia, nervous dysfunctions or total exhaustion. The months of June, September and December are vulnerable time for health and overwork.

Go out and enjoy yourself now, as you have earned it. Here is where the compensation for all of that hard work from the 4 year will be found. An interest in religion or spiritual matters can also develop during this year. The 5 personal year is quick in nature and somewhat careless in actions, so check all details twice before completing projects. Do some research into something you've always wanted to know about.

Tedious routines would drive you up the wall now, so find something to do that won't bore you because restlessness is a major factor to be dealt with under the 5. Uncertainty is the sister to restlessness and you may be questioning if you have made the right moves (especially if you have moved to a new area), or taken a giant step forward if only by the hair on your chinny-chin-chin or pulled yourself up by your own bootstraps. You can get in trouble scattering your energies unless of course many different areas of life keep you active and allow departures from the norm, whatever normal is?

One danger of this 5 energy is being overpowered by the opportunities that come to you now. You may be very inconsistent in your actions and people will not be able to keep up with you. The real lesson comes through getting on track with your life and staying with it. You have the ability to do many things now and be very gifted at all of them. You also have the ability now to do anything you want and will always be involved in something new that will drive you and people around you crazy. CHANGE is the key, in travel, unusual places and people and above all an adventure or 3. The 5 has the blessing of returning to, or finding your lost youth!

Relationships can undergo the theory of "change" as well, especially if they have become unbearable. You may be making some decisions this month about your relationship, perhaps it is in danger of ending. The 6 year, month or cycle that follows can see that end finalized.

While studying the Hindu scriptures, I found that while in the number 5 personal year, you can find friendship with  people born with the numbers 1, 4 or 6 as a birth number or with people in a 1, 4 or 6 personal year. You will not get  along with people who have 2 as a destiny number or in a 2 year. People who are in a 9, 3 or 8 year or have a 9, 3 or 8 destiny number will be neither bad or good, but rather neutral.
