January 5

**January 5** is the fifth day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. It's not affected by leap years.

Recovery is a central and recurring concept in the lives of those born on **January 5** . They don't take long to get back on their feet, and they have an amazing ability to revive, gradually or dramatically overcoming disadvantageous situations, both personal and social. In the personal sense this means recovering from illness, catastrophe or just plain bad luck; in the social sense, recover the lost position or direct a group towards the reconquest of its deserved position.

Needless to say, those born on this day possess great stamina. They always fully heal from injury or accident, but even more impressive is their ability to bounce back from rejection or emotional disappointment. Ultimately, this is due to their strong foundation of self-confidence and their ability to forget the past and move on.

This does not mean that they are superficial people for whom losses do not matter. On the contrary, they are very committed individuals, and therefore it is all the more surprising that they recover from setbacks that undoubtedly caused them to suffer deeply. Part of your strength lies in accepting that you can't always win.

They have immense resources and know how to make others do their best. This is true within the family, in your social circle and in your professional life. Thus, they are suitable for group tasks, as leaders when they can better exert their positive influence.

However, they must beware of being too optimistic in their approaches and of trusting too much that any difficulty can be solved by reason. Due to their cheerfulness and positive spirit, they can ignore the irrational and subconscious impulses of their peers, which can be very detrimental to themselves or to the groups to which they belong.

Another problem for those born on January 5 is that they can become complacent after overcoming challenges and uncertainties and achieving stability in life. It's logical and natural to relax to some extent, but you shouldn't give up spontaneity, creativity, and spiritual growth along the way. Personal interests often mean less and less to these individuals as they age, as they come to identify with the cause they espouse. However, if necessary, they must muster enough courage to follow the dictates of their heart, even if it means abandoning the image of themselves that they nurtured or a comfortable role.

**NUMBERS AND PLANETS**

Those born on the fifth day of the month are ruled by the number 5 and by the swift planet Mercury, which represents quick thinking and sudden changes. Because Saturn is the ruler of the Capricorn sign, those born on January 5 are under the influence of a Mercury-Saturn link that lends seriousness and authority to their endeavors. No matter how many blows they receive or how many obstacles they put on them, those ruled by the number 5 recover quickly, which of course is especially true of those born on January 5.

**TAROT**

The fifth card of the Major Arcana is The High Priest, the interpreter of the sacred mysteries who symbolizes human understanding and faith. The High Priest is an authority over everything invisible, and his knowledge is esoteric. The positive meanings of this card are self-confidence, absence of doubts and accurate intuition; the negatives, sententiousness, pride and dogmatism. Therefore, those born on January 5 should beware of adopting an overly pompous attitude.

**HEALTH**

Those born on **January 5** they enjoy a great head start in health due to their ability to bounce back from physical and psychological setbacks. However, this should not become an excuse to reject the practice of preventive medicine. They must remember that if they are vigilant and detect diseases in their early stages, they will be able to treat them with a much greater chance of success. Indeed, by keeping fit through regular exercise, eating sensibly (ie, reducing your intake of animal fats, dairy products, and sugar), and getting enough sleep, you can prevent many diseases. Again it is crucial that you do not rely too heavily on your health and stamina.

**ADVICE**

Remember to be flexible and spontaneous. Maybe you haven't guessed everything. Don't be afraid to ask other people for help or advice. Protect what makes life worth living.

This world may be nothing more than a set of symbols of a higher form of existence
