With a 5 destiny number, you are the life of the party —charismatic, energetic and a real people person. The occupations of a five are all forms of entertainment (the actor, singer, dancer and comedian). Your outgoing personality can lead you into sales or party planning. You love to be with people and engage in physical activity such as sex, athletics, dancing and group dynamics. The five loves to travel and be on the move.
No, you say, that does not describe you? Perhaps you are a closet 5. Hiding from attention, uncomfortable to show yourself. Snap out of it! You are born to enjoy life and to entertain others. Find your passion and do not be afraid of it.
The Challenge and Lessons of the 5 destiny
The work of the five is to recognize the fine balance of freedom and the need for grounding and rest. You will be the happiest when you do not ignore either. If you are always on the fast track you will burn yourself out.
In other words, chill out! Be out there in the world with people and activity while accepting that sometimes you can sneak inside and read a good book or listen to some music. Fives may tend to be too much for people, always on show, although you love to be with them. It can be exhausting!
Ellen DeGeneres and Mick Jagger have the 5 destiny number.
One example of the 5 destiny number is comedian, talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, born 1/26/1958 (1+2+6+1+9+5+8 = 32/3+2 = 5). With a genuine smile on her face, she dances her way on stage and entertains everyone with her humor.
Another perfect 5 is Rolling Stone lead singer Mick Jagger, born 7/26/1943 (7+2+6+1+9+4+3 =32/3+2 = 5). Even as he turned 70 in 2013, he is still energetic on stage and gets everyone moving and grooving.
“I am a 5 and I absolutely love people, almost more than I love me! I love numerology and your interpretation matches me so well. I am a life path 23/5 and life mission 22. Love it!!”–Jenny

Kathy says
Yep. It’s definitely me!!
Greer says
Terrific Kathy! Dance on:)
Lily says
This completely describes me! 9/23/1998, and I’m always having people (friends and sexual companions alike, we’re poly) in and out of our house, but sometimes I just get so socially exhausted all I want is my husband and infant son’s company, but I’m super energetic and love others, all while still being an anxious introvert.
Greer says
Hello Lilly, That totally describes the 5, Lily. Yet if you connect to your desire for freedom and give yourself some alone time, you can really achieve so much joy! Just make sure you don’t overtax yourself with too much to do at one time:) Love your self and do not worry about what others think.:)
Many blessings,
Greer
Joey says
I am a 5 and I’ve been a dancer since I was 3 I love people and love to entertain but I realize I appreciate my quiet, quality times just as much so I can reboost you are very accurate keep up the good work
Greer says
Thanks JOey! Keep dancing:) many blessings for 2019! Greer
YesYesYes says
I’m a destiny number 5 people love love love when I entertain them. I can make a fantastic sales person if I like the product. I love people also yet need balance as in alone time. I was recently in a career isolated from others the universe booted me out is missing me if your a 5 enjoy and I do and have enjoyed all types of experience,people usually people have a hard time believing my many experiences
Greer says
I love your energy.. Your answer is so five:)
many blessings for the new year 2019.. the year of creativity!
Anna says
I’m an introvert also. But I think you should re-read this again. One of the paragraphs says: “No, you say, that does not describe you? Perhaps you are a closet 5. Hiding from attention, uncomfortable to show yourself. Snap out of it! You are born to enjoy life and to entertain others. Find your passion and do not be afraid of it.”
Although I’m an introvert I still find myself being a chatter box when I’m out and about and really enjoy making others laugh.
You can still be an introvert but also a people person.
Greer says
Agree Anna! that is the many sides of the 5. It also may have to do with other aspects of your chart. Let me know if you would like to learn more. 5s often have many faces and many passions. Many blessings for the new year, GReer
Dave says
Uh yes you just need to build a wall of hope for people to look up to.
Greer says
ha. also spoken like a 5. Time for a cup of Yoga Tea.
Dave says
I’m a 5 but I feel like its exhausting to be with people why is it that?
Greer says
Hello Neah,
Are you a good friend? Are you someone that people confide in? Even if you are quiet, are you loving and kind to the people in your life? These are all characteristics of the 6. many blessings to you, Greer
Greer says
Hi Dave,
Yes, the plight of the charismatic 5! Very social; loves to be on stage and entertaining others; loves action and always being involved in something. The journey of the 5 is freedom, so does not do well when they feel stuck. However, here is the issue. If fives do not take care of themselves, if they do not take time to just be with thmeselves, they can burn out and be “exhausted”. It is very important for you to take a “time out”. lol. I know you always like to be active, but take some time for yourself where no one is dependent on you. Take a walk in nature, get a massage (but don’t talk during it:), or go for a run. Respect yourself and your need to be alone without constant stimulus. Does that make sense? many blessings, Greer
Dave says
So what you are saying is take time to breathe. Let go of the “nuisance”. Become one with the crowd, as you breathe out. I see it now.
Greer says
Spoken like a true 5! You can also have fun without being in charge of the fun. Is this possible for you?
Brooklyn says
So, anything else except jobs in the field of entertainment won’t work for a 5?
Greer says
Hi Brooklyn,
If I understand your question correctly, what other jobs will work for someone with a 5 and what will not? Ok, typically a 5 (although as you can see with a lot of the comments, not all 5s are the same) is outgoing. So any occupation that deals with people are good for 5s. They also love to be the center of attention, so 5s would probably not like to be at a desk job where they only connect with the computer and no human contact. Fives are good in any field of entertainment or people organizing.. like special events or sales. They love change, so would probably be bored with a more mundane job that has no variety and no people to connect with. Hope this helps. Please keep in mind that all people are different and we look at the full picture of your chart to see what moves you. many blessings, Greer
Judy says
This post is really interesting and accurate. I’m a 5 too and I have experienced being outgoing, having lots of friends, varying interests like singing, copying music by ear, drawing, playing table tennis, I dont think I’m a good entertainer but I love lifting people up and making them laugh. And now I’m back at being the closet 5.. Although it feels lonely being alone, I just want to withdraw from all people that i know and “Reset” myself I honestly came here to find the answers and it’s a little clearer now. Thanks to your wonderful post. I was born Feb. 11, 1997. I’m a life path number 3, soul number 7 and personality 7. I’ve computed my inspiration number the way you’ve taught in the comments, and it’s 4. Would you care to explain more about the 4 inspiration number? Thank you!
Greer says
Hi Judy, Hang in there, you are open and honest and everyone deals with life in a different way. Your way is more thoughtful but if you can enjoy life, then that will give you peace. The most important thing is not to judge. Let go of “not good enough”. The four inspiration number really explains a lot. Because the 4 is the perfectionist, the builder. You see all the pieces but are frustrated that you cannot seem to accomplish it all. What inspires you is to accomplish things. So cut down your list:) Do one thing great at a time and do not judge. And be proud of that one thing. Hope this helps! Many blessings to you. Greer
Sean says
I am an introvert too. Things doesn’t describe me well, right Shey and Jay
Greer says
I asked Sean in a separate email what his birthday was. He told me December 13. 12/13.
My response: Ok, this makes a lot of sense. and what I expected to be the key to your shying away from the spotlight. To find your inspiration number, you add the numbers of your month to the numbers of your day of birth. 1+2+1+3=7. The inspiration number represents what moves you in life. What you are attracted to. What helps you thrive in your destiny. This is very tricky. The seven is withdrawn, looks inside to find their answers. The seven is a very spiritual and thoughtful soul. A unique non-conformist. Sometimes the seven feels like they do not belong. Does that seem more like you? However, when the 7 catalyst finds something that they are interested in, that is when they can shine and can be out there with people. You probably could have a select group of friends. People who are different and have different interests, people who understand you and think like you. So for example, if you were interested in dancing or art or playing in a band, you could find a group to do it with and shine. Or even make people laugh. But they would have to have a quirky sense of humor like yours. Does that sound more like you? let me know. Here is more about the inspiration number. https://numerology4yoursoul.com/love-and-inspiration-number-numerology-style/
Kerstin says
All I know is, I am a 5 and this article is spot on for me. It’s actually one of the most accurate, that I have read, explaining me. Crazy.
Greer says
Awesome!!!! Kirstin.. give me your month and day of birth and I will tell you more:) Greer
Rebecca says
I agree with some of the introverts as I am one. I am a 23/5 and my full name is a 5 so I am a double 5. I do love to travel but I abhor being the center of attention. For instance when I got married we went to a justice because I didn’t want a wedding and to be stared at walking down the aisle. Gives me the willies just imagining it. I did keep my maiden name. I guess it’s part of loving that freedom. Fives are also unconventional.
Greer says
This is so very interesting Rebecca,
As I study 5 energy it gets more and more interesting. Please tell me your full birthday. I wonder if it has to do with your inspiration number… what inspires you in life. Once I receive your reply, I will tell you more about what I mean. Greer
venky says
I don’t know how this works but its very accurate about my personality. I like to entertain people though I don’t like to sing or dance. Maybe you meant any form of entertainment not necessarily dance or singing. And yes, so far I have planned all of my trips with friends and my friends tell me that I’m a monk because of the way I convince all them to join the party even when it is almost impossible for them. But like one of the readers commented I don’t have a job right now. Its more like I don’t want to go to a day to day job and live a corporate life. My passion is to make movie. Can I be a successful one in that line?
Greer says
It is so interesting about the five. I find it the most responded to on my post compared to the other destiny numbers.. probably because you are all so people minded.. you love this stuff:) Yes it is all entertainment and 5s love travel and for you.. especially, they love freedom!!! so yes, hard to keep a day to day job.. and live a corporate life.. But if you have a job that is people oriented and you are running the party, or event, or sales group.. then you can have loads of fun doing it.. The five loves change.. so mix it up a bit.. I can’t promise “success” in the entertainment industry.. it is a challenging road for many reasons.. but if you have passion for it.. how about coming up with a story line and gather some people together and brainstorm.. Do it for fun.. and then see if it grows.. there is always networking to make it happen. the five personality can get people going on your journey with you, if it is a fun journey. Many blessings, Greer
Maya says
Hi..the statement is more or less correct for me. I like party and going out and sex but the thing is I am not much in the crowd. I love discretion. These days I’m reading lots about karmic ties because I have had a set aback so I don’t know if you can advise in anyway. Thanks!
Greer says
Hi Maya, this is so true of many 5s.. read the comments to see. Five is a rich number as it is all about freedom. Stepping out in the world with people can be very exciting, but sometimes with some 5s, they need to be free more than they need to be with people.And this search for freedom can be confusing, because they may feel lonely without others. Alas, the human condition. My advise to anyone, with any destiny number, is to learn to love your self and get a great support system who understands you and helps you on your path. There might be other numbers in you name that deal with some of the other things you are going through. The destiny number is just a piece of the pie. Hope this helps and if you are interested in a reading, it might give you more insight. Many blessings, Greer
Christie says
If I didn’t know better, I’d think that knew me personally. Lol
I am everything you described, as a 5, including being too much for people at times even though they adore me.
Greer says
So many 5s answer this post. You are all so unique, charming, playful and every changing:) Thanks for your comment. Are you doing what is in your heart’s desire to do and following your passion? That will make you the happiest. Many blessings, Greer
yul says
This is so me but I have no luck in career.what will I do to attract some luck and which career is advisable
Greer says
Hi Yul,
There are so many 5 people who have commented here.. !! It is because five people are all about change, all about being out there in the world and some are afraid to be out there in the world, so there is conflict. Luck in career is interesting.. You have the capability to reach many and to promote self and others. What might be in the way is you need to find what you love, what you feel real passion for.. What is that? If you follow what you love, the rest will follow.. Think Mick Jagger or JK Rowling. Hope this helps. and if you are interested in a full reading, I can perhaps help you more to follow your path. best,
Greer
Nicky says
Omg…This is so me 12/24/1976 the comedian who loves to travel..I am also a people person…
Greer says
HI Nicky, so glad to hear it. Hope you are having lots of fun!!! Exploring your freedom is key. Also allowing your self some alone time:) Many blessings, Greer
Confused5 says
I am a 5 and in love with a 5. We’re both out going, ‘people’ people, life of a party and all that. But I can retreat to solitude every once in a while and he just cant seem to, hence I am in love with him and he is still out there enjoying the spot light not knowing how much he’s hurting me. Man I wish there was some truth to all this numerology and horoscopes. My life would be awesome if it was.
Greer says
Dear Confused, Ah the excitement and the challenge of two people with the same vibration.. Five energy can be charismatic and sexy, fun to be with.. two fives, you are on a roll together:).Yes the five can love to be out there, but not always.. sometimes it might feel like a burden and very tiring. The 5 needs to find a sweet balance and feed their selves with rest and solitude, as you seem to do. Some fives have a hard time at this and are always on. (How frustrating for you) One thing to remember is that the essence of 5 is to enjoy their freedom. This may be a challenge for you as you want to always connect. Space is very needed for the 5 and sometimes that is a challenge as they seem to attract people around them. You might feel resentful and hurt, but it is a necessary connection to honor each other’s space. There may be sometimes that you will need to be on your own with friends or self. This will help you to love yourself and not always need others to get approval. He may need this freedom as well. But important in any relationship, communication and respect is key on both sides. Commitment is hard for a 5! You may need a fine point of commitment and flexibility. Hope you can have that conversation to understand each other’s needs more.
One other thing to understand about numerology is that there are many numbers in play, not just the destiny numbers. There are inspiration numbers, and the numbers in your name that tell you more about yourself and how you work with others. I am sure you are not just all about 5:) hope this helps, if you are interested in a full reading, I have a few summer specials. We could even do a compatibility chart with you and your bf.

Five Musician says
Am a Nigerian and I was born on 13/2/1988 (5) everything about 5 describes me and I love music and am a singer in a party But I planned leaving the music line because I don’t make good money out of it and I don’t often have a show. I am into building decor and I love finishing in buildings and people recognise me on building decor. Does it mean I have chosen a wrong career for life. help please
Greer says
Dear Five musician,
A yes the passion and challenge of a musician’s life. It is a path of love for sure and not everyone can live comfortably with just playing their music. Why not do both? Play your music at times, perhaps weekends and various gigs, and then have a building design practice as well. There is no wrong career for a five, it is just about doing what you love. Fives love connecting with people. If you are good at helping people with their homes and building, it will be rewarding to you and you will do well! Many blessings and success, Greer
Arnab says
thats all about me……..
Greer says
🙂 glad to hear it Arnab. Have fun. Greer
55 says
Thanks Greer. As a fellow numerologist with an expression 5 I do agree that 5s are often introverted or even extroverted introverted. Or go through phases of both. It’s 5 so the variety should be expected 🙂 I can be the life of the party as a 5. There other aspects of my name that can make me the emotional anchor that literally drags everyone in a room down too though. Nevertheless, 5s are not “pretending to be introverts”. That is just silly.
Greer says
Thanks, I love your interpretation.. how true.. I see both sides of the 5. Some are reluctant to be out there, but if they find something they love or a group they are comfortable with, then they shine.
Did you see my elton john piece? Talk about 5s.
https://numerology4yoursoul.com/tag/elton-john-numerology/
Nancy says
Well I’m a perfect “5” I love to sing dance entertain, the party it’s a party unless I’m there, love to be the center of attention, I attract so many ppl around me sometimes I think I have a magnetic force on me.. I have so much to do in one day that in 2 weeks I get burned out, but still can’t stop. I love party planning to the fullest.. I think that besides being a “5” combined with a Taurus I’m a good good person that fits this profile. Thank you for the insite
Greer says
That is so great Nancy. You probably do very well in the party planning arena or anything dealing with people. Let me know if I can be of further assistance with a full 90 minute reading that can help you find out all about yourself. Many blessings, Greer
Holly says
This description is spot on number 5 but I understand the introvert controversy in comments. People need to understand that there are more than one number that affects your total personality as well as your zodiac sign and rising sign. I am a no 5 on a sagitarius with the same rising sign, I have to be a party person but until I become comfortable with the crowd, I appear to be introverted. I do not want too much attention. I shy away from it but as soon as its singing and dancing time, the flower inside me blossoms and I can’t stay introvert anymore. Once people see the true me, then I can’t be introvert anymore.
Greer says
Hello Holly, it is so interesting how many people comment about the 5 destiny. It is one of much expansiveness but I find that there are so many personalities to it! Almost no 5s are the same. Many times it takes a 5 feeling really comfortable to shine. Some can be wild on stage, like Mick Jagger, but others have their own private audience of people who “get them”. Others, like you (and me, by the way), are out there when dancing. The key to the 5 is the love of freedom. For some it is to fly alone.
Peter says
I am a five, I love my freedom and travelling, I want to experience all of life to the fullest and I am endlessly interested in the human experience / condition, but I am definitely not a people’s person; although I like those people that are honest with themselves, I certainly do not agree with those who pretend to be untouchable and I certainly dislike group dynamics in which most people in my experience tend to behave in quite a manipulative way. My best friend is my other Gemini half, which is why I love being on my own and seldom feel lonely.
Greer says
Yes Peter, you are among the many diverse 5s. You can see with the comments.. Very popular diversity!!! Many of you are the free travellers and energetic explorers of life. Some choose wisely who they connect with. Others can be out there on stage and quiet inside. I wonder if Ellen Degeneres is like that? As I have said before, one key to most of the 5s is exploring freedom in whatever way it feels right for them. Sometimes what happens is you get bored easily. Because 5 is also about change, when things are the same, you may want to bold. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can serve you more through a reading. (See links on this page). Many blessings, Greer
Saravanan says
I am a 5, i don’t see this fitting me either. May be once in a while this fits, always there is a “no one size fits all”.
Greer says
I agree Saravanan, and everyone is different. The five is all about change and freedom. Sometimes it does not appear as a Mick Jagger, that is the extreme 5 person. Sometimes it is someone that enjoys to move around a lot, have different professions, or enjoys connecting with small groups. How is it for you?
Good mom says
I’m a 5, and I can barely go outside without talking myself out of anxiety. I’m a nurse that works with high risk low income labor and delivery, the furthest thing from entertainment. With that said, I’ve always said, if I could just be and feel outgoing, I would be an actor or a dancer. But I hate attention. What a conundrum.
Greer says
Hi Good mom.. yes a conundrum, but if you do what you love, you would probably enjoy it.. possibly take a dance class just for the fun of it??? What is your birthday? I can tell you more through your inspiration number. See Sean comment on this post.
a free bird says
Lols to the 5’s pretending to be introverts. My x is a 5 and the LIFE of the party. Unless he’s burnt out. Then he must withdraw. But still has to be surrounded by others. So rather than stay in and enjoy the solitude…he can’t…he’ll have his “friends” over. This way he gets to be home recovering from burn out and still have his glowing admirers. As an unprofessed 1 this gets old. Esp as others are drawn to me as well for different reasons and all the attention gets real old, real fast. Hence, why he’s an x! I do not need to be an overt leader. I don’t mind being the wizard behind the curtain lol
Greer says
Love this. Spoken like a true 5!
a free bird says
I may have created some confusion by the way I worded my comment lol I am a “1” and not a 5 but have spent 5yrs with a “5” and am not at all surprised by the 5’s pretending they don’t absolutely thrive on all the attention surrounding them 24/7
Jenn says
Your description of 5 is absolutely perfect! I am born on 10/ 10. Plus I’m a Libra… So I have the balance issue a little bit more! 🙂 However I know Many Many 5’s And I fully agree with your interpretation… Also love the ‘in the closet 5’ 🙂 thank u!
Greer says
Thanks Jenn, glad you are enjoying your essence!
Chris says
I have to agree with Shey. I am a 5 and this is far from what describes me. I, myself being an introvert. I do enjoy traveling, but I am NOT a people person or charasmatic and I always prefer to withdraw from the hectic life outside my door to enjoy the peace and quiet.
Greer says
Thanks Chris, This is very interesting and does happen at times, when the destiny number seems really off from the way you feel about yourself. I would say that perhaps some of the other numbers in your life, like in your name, may have an effect on how what makes you tick.. as you mentioned, enjoying going within, which is so “seven”.
Just a curiosity, have you had any fantasies of being an entertainer — like an actor or musician? This would be a five personality as well. Perhaps the other numbers make you feel less like putting yourself out there on stage. If you would like to share your name, we could connect privately if you would like and I could give you some more insight.
thanks for your interest in my site. All the best, Greer
Ab says
You’re not Alone… So true
Shey says
5s are not “people” people. We tend to be introverted and thoughtful. What is this?
Greer says
Thank you for your comment. The method of numerology I use is Pythagoras. We look at the 5 destiny as a gregarious vibration. Connecting with people, entertainment and energy. Not a withdrawn vibration in the slightest. Perhaps this introverted, thoughtful vibration is from another methodology. Are you a 5 destiny? In pythagoras terms, the introverted and thoughtful vibration is more of a 7 personality. Please feel free to connect further with me on other questions.
All the best,
Greer
Jay says
I agree with you Shey. So inaccurate, all wrong about me.
Greer says
Interesting Jay, there may be other aspects of your name that is guiding you to be more inward. The energy of the 5 loves to be on the move and with people, but if that is not true for you, perhaps you are a free spirit in another way?
Voidborn says
Exactly.
Greer says
Sounds true to you? 🙂
karen says
I’m a five and totally agree with the post….far from introverted, love people and very thoughtful and compassionate. Maybe your a closet 5 Shey?
Greer says
Thanks for responding to this post Karen, yes! I do get this comment from time to time with my 5 clients. It is rare, but I do get it. There are usually some aspects in their name that influences a reluctance to be out there. But I encourage them to seek something that moves their energy.. like dancing or kick-boxing. Many blessings, Greer
Nancy says
I’m an introvert also. But I think you should re-read this again. One of the paragraphs says: “No, you say, that does not describe you? Perhaps you are a closet 5. Hiding from attention, uncomfortable to show yourself. Snap out of it! You are born to enjoy life and to entertain others. Find your passion and do not be afraid of it.”
Although I’m an introvert I still find myself being a chatter box when I’m out and about and really enjoy making others laugh.
You can still be an introvert but also a people person.
Tonya says
Exactly!!!
Greer says
I see you totally relate:)
Tilly says
You a closet 5
Greer says
lol.. many 5s are as you can see from the comments!
