This is a very lucky path too, so you often have help along the way! Total liberation of restrictive and oppressive regimes, rules, etc. is part of your core programming. Self-alignment is essential for you to feel whole.

Your freedom-loving nature makes you more of a leader than a follower, however you equally love to be part of a colorful and innovative community or team. In fact, you love to share your views, wisdom, and knowledge, moreover your ideas and intellect in a team and group effort. You know how to play well with others, despite being so assertive and willful.

Follies, Weaknesses, and Shadow Traits

Your shadow traits include being deeply impulsive, impatient, and frivolous. You’re one of the most anti-committal life paths, meaning you have a deep-seated aversion to commitment. Practicalities and responsibilities aren’t your strong suit, at least not in youth or early adulthood. It can take a while for you to mature. Immaturity, childish behavior, and running away from relationships and commitments without communication is common. You’re so pro-change that you forget the importance of pro-security or pro-stability. Even contracts consciously and willingly entered into can be left without a warning or moment’s notice.

You’re a bit of a rebel too, fighting against systems simply for the sake of fighting. Your behavior is not entirely conscious. Being so anti-restriction and rules leaves you living the archetype of the ungrounded and directionless rebel, stuck on an idea or belief system without life experience, real wisdom, and insight. This can affect family, professional, and close relationships, as well as getting in the way of your destiny/legacy. Restlessness, boredom, and irritability or frustration frequently take over. This is one of the life paths that has a reputation for being a bit of a player, promiscuous in youth, or straight-out unfaithful! Your problem is that you begin things and don’t follow through- you're always moving around to ‘the next best thing,’ people included.

Meditation and grounding exercises can help you greatly. You’re very compassionate and altruistic with strong humanitarian values, yet people don’t see this side of you. It’s usually masked by a charismatic and upbeat persona, which translates as being superficial and even fake in a social setting. This is the down-side of being so positive and happy-go-lucky all the time; you lack depth, moreover sensitivity. You’re equally wise, intuitive, and very intelligent, but because of the innate recklessness and frivolity your inner sage or wise wo/man doesn’t come out often. People assume you can’t be relied on. Also, empathy and vulnerability seem to be lacking, yet this is only due to you being so excited and upbeat all the time. These must be worked on to access your strengths.

Furthermore, life path 5s tend to rely on luck quite a bit too much. This takes away from hard work, practical action, and physical determination, strength, and longevity of plans. Believing your mindset and positive outlook is the key to all of your success is an illusion- an illusion you’d be wise to transcend… Order, time management, focus and concentration, organization, structures, planning, perseverance, and staying power are things you need to work on. Discipline could be amped up too. You certainly don’t lack passion, vision, or inspiration, yet this inner fire and charisma must be harmonized with real-life action and hard work. Aim to be more practical, mentally focused, and self-disciplined.

Grounding- working with the earth, as well as healing with the water element are advised. This is because you have a reactive and somewhat aggressive side, which sometimes stems from your childish nature or inner child, and sometimes from being so impulsive and excitable. Childhood wounds combined with unresolved pain and trauma can come lashing out in explosive ways. You get triggered quite easily too, when at a lower vibration.

Life Path 5 and Love

You’re a passionate, free-spirited, strong-willed seductress! Your libido is strong, you have no shame in expressing your sexual needs and desires, and you crave a lot of intimacy and affection. You’re a bit of a contradiction in terms because you’re also incredibly independent and self-autonomous. So, you need someone who understands you and is compatible, otherwise your relationship could be all drama. Heated and explosive arguments as well as a short-lived bond is common early in life, until you master your communication skills and emotions. You value honesty and authenticity, but don’t know how to express this in youth. Choosing a stable and grounded partner could help you, as could an emotionally intelligent one. Otherwise, your relationships are a bit rocky with many trials and tribulations, and you have more love affairs and flings than most people.

With life experiences and maturity you begin to make better choices in love and romance. You’re expressive, generous, playful, creative, and highly imaginative, and you love to give and receive love and admiration in equal measure. You’re adaptable and a real free-thinker; open-minded, intelligent, perceptive, and fun-loving. You require a partner to match your energy, a perfect mirror and companion who shares the same values and interests as you. You can be frivolous and impatient when it comes to love, often relying purely on instincts, which aren’t always right with your mind in so many places! But, you are honest, sincere, and affectionate. You’re a very witty, creative, and intellectual lover, and are capable of lasting love once you’ve overcome the lessons of youth.
