Unlocking Your Career, Love & Enlightenment:
Understanding a Life Code #5
We are all souls having a human experience. We chose our parents, birthdate, and physical appearances, amongst many other things, which allow us to experience the life lessons we all must go through while here on planet Earth(aka Earth School).
Life is extremely difficult for many, and without the proper perspective it’s challenging to accept the fact we chose this difficult life for a specific reason. For me, learning & understanding about Numerology & Life Codes helped me comprehend how my agonizing childhood was a blessing in disguise, and how I can play a much bigger role throughout the Universe than I could have ever imagined.
The instant you are born your “life destiny” begins, and at this moment you are assigned a special code which holds the key to who you are and your unique fate. We all have a Life Code.
What number are you?
For me, Life Codes were the key that opened the secret entrance into my inner kingdom I never knew existed. An inner kingdom I’d been standing outside of in the pouring rain for hours waiting on someone to come along and save me from my self-inflicted misery. For the purpose of this article I’m going to focus on Life Code #5s, but take a look at other articles to learn more about yourself and/or others.

Life Code #5 — The Spiritual Warrior
Those with a Life Code #5 are learning to achieve spiritual strength. This energy, when looking at the Tree of Life as a map, is about facing all your fears. These are not little fears, these are the largest fears of the personality in order to make the transition into your spiritual strength.
Everyone has spiritual strength when they engage with it. This is the settling of the personality into a calm state and the strongest elements of your character achieving its state of ‘perfection’. But with a Life Code #5, you will find this energy follows you around, nudging you constantly to extend yourself out of your comfort zone and boundaries.
As a Life Code #5, you are inconsistent in your temperament but would be the last person to admit it. In your life you will have experienced strong highs and lows; you are a chameleon of mood and those around you will have found it difficult at times to assess where you are. You have, however, a combination of great wit and humor when in the right frame of mind, which makes you a very attractive and fascinating energy.
You love your freedom and need it in order to explore your Life Code. Your energy needs to be able to move around quickly in order to have the opportunity to experience the things in life that push your boundaries. Even though you may think you crave stability and consistency, you actually thrive on change.
Life Code #5 & Love:
The Life Code #5 energy is incredibly social and adventurous and enjoys exploring everything that piques their curiosity. They make exciting and adaptable partners, but many of their relationships are short-lived. This Life Code #5 needs variety and can’t handle being tied down, so they tend to be unreliable and unable to commit.
Below are my thoughts around Life Code #5s energy when paired with all of the other Life Codes. Be mindful of the power of free-will we all have, which can positively or negatively overtake any relationship, romantic and/or platonic, with enough determination and collaboration.
Life Code #5 & #1: Life Code #1 are extremely strong-willed, and Life Code #5s are insanely free-spirited, which can make for an interesting first-impression depending on how grounded the Life Code #1 is at the time. Both will offer the freedom each other needs, and it’s likely to be an inspiring & joyful pairing with lots of adventure if they capture each other’s fancy.
Life Code #5 & #2/11: A difficult pairing, but, if true love can be found there’s potential under the right circumstances…. Most Life Code #2/11s need deep connection, and Life Code #5s need significant space and the freedom to run wild, which means these energies are destined for completely different paths. It’s likely both will end up unfulfilled and great conflict could result, but under the right conditions anything is possible.
Life Code #5 & #3: These two are very enthusiastic about each other and make great friends while having a lot of fun and adventure together. Both the Life Code #3 & #5 tend to lean towards escapism and distraction, which if in a romantic relationship, could be an issue that both will avoid necessary serious conversations or dealing suitably with problems if they arise. But, it would still be a lot of fun and adventure together!!
Life Code #5 & #4: These two energies display vastly different temperaments that make compatibility highly unlikely. The Life Code #4 energy seeks stability and long-term commitment, but Life Code #5s need plenty of space to fly free. Neither energy is likely to be able to offer what the other needs to feel truly fulfilled, and the Life Code #5 risks feeling stifled, whilst the Life Code #4 very anxious and unsettled. Proceed with caution.
Life Code #5 & #5: These two twin energies thrive on a lifestyle filled with travel, adventure and drama. An innate understanding of each other’s desire to be free will lead to a mutually beneficial partnership and enough space for neither to feel tied down. There is some risk that neither energy will tend to the more mundane aspects of their relationship, so some level of commitment will be required for this to truly work long-term.
Life Code #5 & #6: The freedom-loving qualities of the Life Code #5 energy can seem at odds with the Life Code #6s need for home and sanctuary, so both energies will need to be firm about what they need to be fulfilled (and the other will need to try to meet it). This relationship can survive if both parties are willing to make compromises. If this is possible, it can be a very nourishing partnership.
Life Code #5 & #7: The Life Code #5s need for variety and stimulation provides endless interest for Life Code #7s, who is also able to provide the freedom that the Life Code #5 energy is desperately needed. So despite each energy requiring time apart from the other, when uniting, it can be electric! However, both must commit to expressing their feelings authentically, and if successful, these two pairing of energies have superb potential.
Life Code #5 & #8: Most Life Code # 8s need structure and long-term commitment, but the energy of a Life Code #5 is often unwilling to be restrained in this way. So, despite an inherent dynamism, it is unlikely these two energies will be able to partner effectively. In cases where their love is strong, with enough work and understanding, both partners may reach incredible heights together. Anything is possible if you’re willing to put in the work!
Life Code #5 & #9: My wife is a Life Code #5 and I’m a Life Code #9, so this one is a bit personal for me. Our marriage is at its best when we’re both hyper-focused on each other’s needs instead of our own. Passion, intimacy and adventure is ever-flowing when our energies are working with each other, but it’s a struggle to maintain because we lack emotional involvement & communication most of the time. Our lives will continue to drift apart unless we start to express what each of us is wanting from the relationship.
Life Code #5 Career:
The Life Code #5 energy is a Warrior, and the ideal career for a warrior is NOT sitting at a desk taking orders from some boss for +40 hours a week. Absolutely not!
The ideal career for a Life Code #5 is somewhere you can manage yourself. A place where you can manage your own time, activities, day-to-day, and basically anything & everything when it involves your job. Working from home is ideal and not having to deal with the ‘pageantry’ of going into an office all day where your flexibility is extremely limited.
I’ve met many great sales reps, IT professionals, accountants, and traveling nurses who were Life Code #5, but the working conditions must be relaxed and there can’t be any micro-managing going on.
Warriors cannot be caged. You must have space for self-expression, flexibility, mobility and the freedom to make the choices you feel are best. Otherwise, it’ll be extremely difficult for everyone involved and most Life Code #5s will flip from job to job quite regularly until you find something more suited for your style.
Life Code #5s embrace deadlines, but as long as you can control how you get there. You don’t enjoy pressure from others, and especially if the pressure involves questioning the ability of a Life Code #5 or the quality of your work.
Life Code #5s love adventure in the workplace, so find a place where you’re in control and you’ll do just fine. Remember, Warriors love the battlefield and also love putting on a show.
You take any of the fun out of the work and most Life Code #5s will turn his/her sword on you in a hurry!
Lastly, Life Code #5s get frustrated quite easily AND your temper is what will get you in trouble. Primarily dealing with “stupid” people in the workplace is what will trigger you the easiest, so be mindful of your boiling points and practice daily mindfulness if working in a stressful working environment.
Life Code #5 & Enlightenment:
According to Buddhist belief, enlightenment is ‘the experience of true reality, an “awakening” through which one could comprehend the true nature of things marked by the absence of desire and/or suffering.
So, what is the absence of desire and/or suffering for a Life Code #5?
Answer: The neutralizing of your feelings of inadequacy.
As a Life Code #5 You are the Warrior energy. You need, and thrive-on taking action in the face of adversity. There is no-such thing as the ‘inadequate warrior’…. Therefore, YOU MUST KEEP GOING!
The Life Code #5 energy is all about living & experiencing life, and when this energy is focused on enlightenment, it transforms into an unstoppable force full of love & courage.
You become the warrior standing in the battleground arena vs the warrior wandering around in the parking lot looking for your vehicle. I like to think of the movie Gladiator when I envision this warrior energy, and how the Warrior energy of the Life Code #5 can’t be anything BUT this warrior!
Now, here’s the tricky part for a Life Code #5 & enlightenment…. Most often you’re all-alone during battle. You’re not a part of a group or team, so when faced with adversity, YOU have to make the decision on your own.
Making decisions while facing extreme turmoil, adversity & challenges are very difficult for Life Code #5s, and you’ll naturally try to avoid making a decision out of fear of failure or not getting it ‘perfect’. You will hide, avoid and deflect as long as the people around you will allow it, which will disrupt any enlightenment momentum every Life Code #5s continues to build.
Why is it hard for a Life Code #5 to make a decision while facing adversity?
Answer: Because Life Code #5s are masterful at hiding your own feelings of inadequacies, therefore, YOU will be extremely indecisive if you’re not balanced & grounded when faced with a challenging decision you’re not personally secure with making.
We all know what happens to a warrior who hesitates on the battlefield, which is precisely how all Life Code #5s should interpret this. Life Code #5s must understand ‘inadequacy’ within themselves before he/she can ever feel ‘true-adequacy’ about themselves throughout the enlightenment journey within.
Another way of saying it: All Life Code #5s must pass through the inner-warrior feelings of inadequacy in order to step into the ‘adequate’ warrior energy of the Life Code #5. It’s natural to doubt yourself, but you must KEEP GOING!
The Adequate warrior energy will eventually reject the ‘inadequacy energy’, but all Life Code #5s must embrace & feel it. You cannot hide or run- This is something you have to experience or it will just keep repeating itself. So, how do you do this…?
You do this by: Identifying & acknowledging the family history of this energy. From there, you can sit with the energy, feel it, embrace it, and let it release.
In my case, I could easily trace this back to both my mother & fathers’ family line, and especially on my mothers’ side. I was raised poor, so was she, and all the way back from there. We never had much because we never thought we deserved much, which as you can see throws the family line into a perpetual cycle until someone decides to break it.
That someone is YOU. And the time is NOW.
