Mercury and Number 5
Mercury is the ruling planet of people born on day 5, 14, or 23 of any month,
or whose destiny or name number adds up to 5. The qualities of Mercury
described below are most clearly visible in people who have 5 as a psychic
number.
Mercury, the smallest planet in our solar system, is famous for being
associated with quick response, changeable character, ready wit, and
restlessness. It is also known as an evergreen planet—the planet that is
always young. Its Sanskrit name, Kumar (youthful), indicates its youthful and
princely nature. It is also called Buddha in Sanskrit, a planet of buddhi, which
literally means intellect and ready wit or pratiuttapanna mati.
It is related to the respiratory system, the nervous system, speech,
education, and intelligence.
It is neutral in gender and is regarded as a cold and moist planet. In the
Hindu system, Earth is its element and it is a merchant by nature. This
merchant-like nature of Mercury makes it take risks and gamble—a planet of
extremes. On the one hand, the Mercury-dominated natives are lovers of
physical comforts and money-minded and, on the other, they do not care for
money or physical comforts.
Although Mercury is regarded as a benefic and auspicious planet, it makes
its natives suspicious, serious, cunning, and sometime deceitful. Mercury
natives are witty and lovers of humor and entertainment. They are
manipulative, wise, delicate, attractive, and fond of travel and adventure.
They are born orators, although they are scientific in their approach. They are
also lovers of the fine arts, soft-spoken, doubting, fragile, and tenderhearted.
