Numerology Secrets Part 2: Numerology

By Saket Shah

Numerology uses numbers as a key to human behavior. It is an easy-to-learn method that exercises the mind’s intuitive faculty to fathom the depths of human personality.
Numerologists have to forget their own identities and devote themselves totally to exploring the personalities of others. They must learn to become calm and empty before they are able to use their intuition. Practicing the art of numerology creates endurance, patience, and pointedness. Experience teaches numerologists more than books can teach. The information contained in books only opens the windows of the mind. One then has to work with one’s personal understanding of that information. Information alone is not knowledge; direct experience must be added before information becomes knowledge. Numerology is simple to learn and very engaging, like the creative arts. It teaches one sympathy toward others.
For a numerologist the planets become embodied in a human form, and he or she can closely observe them as a part of the cosmic play.
Those people who do not allow themselves the freedom of seeing the influence of the celestial and astral bodies cannot observe this play. Planets for them are objects in outer space that have no influence on their physical and mental make-up. To them all predictive sciences are useless. People who have
time, faith, and enough patience, however, can watch this play and learn from it the lessons that will guide the consciousness of coming generations.
Numerology is not a complete science. It is just one branch of the predictive sciences. To be a good numerologist one must become a good observer and a patient listener. Study of physiognomy and astrology is very necessary. Numerology is much simpler than astrology and does not require complicated mathematical calculations. There are just three things a numerologist needs to know: the day of the month a person was born, the numerological value of his or her popular name, and the person’s total birth information (date, month, and year). From astrology, the numerologist needs to know about all the zodiac signs, and a person’s day of birth, sun sign, and moon sign. In India, the season during which a person was born also has to be known, since that has an effect on one’s temperament. Certain information from physiognomy needs to be learned as well, such as how the shape and form of the various body parts correlate with an individual’s thinking process. (It is known, for example, that the perceptual world of tall people is different from that of short people.)
The purpose of working with numbers is to save energy. People who act without a proper understanding of the right moment to start a job waste a lot of energy by making the wrong moves. Numerology provides the knowledge for such things as how to select the right moment, the right relationship, the right dwelling place—thereby saving energy.

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. They are easily attracted to the study of astrology, numerology, palmistry, physiognomy, graphology, and psychology because they want to know about themselves and others as clearly as possible. They are materialistic, rational, analytical, and critical by nature; and they love modern ideas.

Mercury, a planet of mixed temperament, has a dual nature. It makes its natives think of both pros and cons at the same time. Its natives are learned and scholarly people and enjoy the company of like people. Mercury is the only planet that is exalted in its own sign.

Mercury is friendly with the Sun, Venus, Rahu, and Ketu. Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter are neutral toward it in friendship. Mercury feels enmity toward the Moon, but this feeling is not mutual.

NUMBER 5

Psychic Number 5

These natives have gentle and fragile characters and are elevated thinkers. They are scholars by nature and are trying to learn every minute. Their active brains are always engaged in thought. They love amusement and try to become jovial and create a happy atmosphere around them. This sometimes consumes a lot of their energy, since nobody can make everybody happy. But, as they are interested in winning the favor of others, they spend all their energy and use all their resources to make others happy.

They are quick in their decisions and impulsive in their behavior. They love change and do not make long-range plans (which call for patience), although they are always busy planning new ways to make money. Because they are endowed with a facility for speculation and are willing to run risks, they invent new ways to make money quickly and avoid long-term plans. Their willingness to risk makes them gamble; and if they really do so, they may gain wealth in this way.

They have youthful and fertile brains with mature thoughts, which make them unique and attractive. They can develop friendships very easily and quickly with any number, but because they are unstable by nature, the friendships do not last very long. They often break friendships very easily during their weak period; at such times, they are deceived by and lose faith in their friends and feel lonely.

Psychic number 5s are very intuitive by nature. They can accurately understand the intent of any person who visits them and can easily see the maneuvers of their partners and colleagues. They give answers to questions before the person asking finishes. Often they say, I know what you mean because they understand intuitively the essence of what is being said.

They are very adaptable and can bear any tragedy and calamity with a smile on their face. However, they are not very flexible in their own homes and do not like people to touch or change the order in which they have things arranged.

With children, they are like a child; with young persons, a revolutionary and progressive youth; and with wise elderly people, wise.

They are brilliant logicians—openness and eloquence render their opponents helpless. They can befriend their opponents and convert them to their own point of view.

They are able to impress people by their attractive and charming personality, progressive ideas, adaptability, clarity of expression and logic, positive and optimistic attitude, and jovial, youthful nature.

They are spendthrifts by nature, but sometimes they become extravagant. Although their financial condition fluctuates, they are able to save money, which they can use during their hard times. They are generally lucky in getting money whenever they need it.

They do not earn through one source only. They cannot sit idle and love to invent methods to make money quickly. They always invest money in business; and, because of their speculative nature and willingness to take risks, they ultimately become successful in business. They are reliable partners.

They are time conscious—they value their own time and are always in a hurry.

They are fond of fine arts, especially poetry—they can and do express their ideas in a very poetic way.

They have a flexible character and change easily, but they do not like to change their way of working, which is very distinctive.

They are travelers by nature and broaden their experience and knowledge through their journeys, both in their own country and in distant lands. They like to live in foreign lands away from their families, to enjoy life and learn.

Those psychic number 5 people born on the twenty-third of any month are luckier than those born on the fifth. Those born on the fourteenth of any month, however, are less fortunate. They have to face many obstacles and difficulties and much opposition in their family life, although they are able to achieve success in the material world rather quickly. Psychic number 5 people born on the twenty-third are helped by their relatives, superiors, government officials, politicians, and those in authority. Those born on the fifth of any month are obstinate, hard working, independent, reliable, self-made, and lucky in love. They spend their old age in peace with reasonable comforts of life. They remain youthful and attractive into their old age and always have helpers around.

Although they believe in fate and destiny, they praise the law of karma and work constantly. However, they know that fate is more important, and they are lucky enough in their life to get whatever they want by chance. If they gamble, they multiply their money two or three times; and they do not regret their losses. They live on their nerves and love excitement.

They are not influenced by any kind of preaching. They appreciate traditional beliefs but do not become mystical. They remain independent thinkers, open to new ideas. They love the company of learned and wise people, as well as young, progressive, and modern people.

They are very cautious about their health and careful in selecting foods they need. They are quite conscious about their physical appearance. Although
