I´ve said it before and I say it again: Beware of the deeper meaning of the fives, representing either the judgment or the justice card. Especially the black fives, perhaps. Judgment.
The black fives have the Jack of Hearts as a prominent card (5S: Sun card, 5C: Venus card), so they have a true inocence to them. Meaning that they can be really charming and easy to fall in love with. They make people lower their defence. But then... Tom Cruise is an infamous example of that, of course.
I believe that fives much like the Kings have to overcome their ego. It´s a great great card for spiritual growth of course, after all it´s the struggling card. But until then... Kings can be really hard to deal with, with their arrogance and dominance, but fives can be just as dominant I believe, just in a more hidden way. Back seat drivers in a way. They may take over the room with their judgment. They don´t show it openly, but secretely they make everyone on the party feel awkwardly observed. And that is because they are: the five is there making his - or her - call...
Yesterday my wife made me watch the movie Amelie from Montmartre, a movie that most people seems to find charming. It´s very much a Jack of Hearts movie... And it has always given me a hard time; I´ve seen part of it before and finding it painfully silly... (I´m a five of Clubs myself.) Realizing that there is a mirror that I really have to watch and learn from.
Black fives often prefer dying of hunger and thirst rather than being receptive to the good things in life. If it´s not on our terms, we shut it out. At least 5C with KD on the Uranus card; no material sacrifice is too expensive, as long as we are in control. Confirmed by the 4C on the Pluto card: Being right doesn´t work for us. Luckily we have 5S on the Jupiter card saving us from the worst consecuencies of that attitude, AS on the Moon card allowing us to start over again and 6H on the Neptune card honestly and deeply striving for deep human connection. Like no other card, perhaps. And 2H on the Ketu card as a wonderful prize, if we manage to overcome our 9C Saturn card - acceptance - and 9S Rahu card - killing the ego.
Not speaking so much about the red fives here, although I believe it´s similar. My youngest son is a 5D, and he filters the world a lot too...
As I said in another thread earlier today discussing the same theme: If you have a 5 as a client or as a friend, it´s recommendable to call them out on this. Fives really strive for authenticity and improvement, but you must not accept that they control you through their judgment.
