In NUMEROLOGY, number 5 (Budha, is the Mercury) like every number is represented by a set of character traits and attributes which are both positive and negative.
I have been researching the significance and position of different numbers in numerology. I have seen that most people have an affinity towards numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. Everyone wishes to have these numbers assuming they only positively impact our lives.
In my observation, no number or no planet is bad or good, as they all play their roles in our life, and we need to balance them to make our lives better with simple yet powerful remedies. This should only be practiced should we understand and realize that a particular number is not balanced as per our date of birth.
Unique Traits
Budha has a unique trait and that being they can rebound quickly from the heaviest blow and severe blows also do not change their character as such. It’s like a small child even when gets hurt or burnt because of their inquisitive behaviors still continues being curious and experimental in nature. They tend to believe a lot in destiny and praise the laws of Karma.
If a woman, she can be very soft-spoken, attractive, graceful and nature can be a bit fragile. Number 5 people, in general, are very youthful and young either in their looks or at heart.
General Characteristics
Budha (Mercury), is the smallest planet in our Solar system. Being the smallest is often referred to as being the Prince of the planets and is considered to be generally gentle and jovial in nature. Like a child, it typically intends to be playful and has an intention to be liked by all. They make friends rather easily and also have the nature of making very quick and hasty decisions. This nature often prevents them from making long-term plans, rather than living for the moment.
Said the above, they are also very intuitive which helps them foresee the actions of people around them. Speed being a key element ensures these individuals have an answer ready even before a question has finished. Number 5 has a dual nature and mixed temperament.
Positive Characteristics
One of the key positive characteristics of Budha is their inquisitive mind and the constant thirst for knowing more and they generally have good communication skills. A positive Budha in your horoscope will ensure excellent coordination skills, thought processes, ideas, and sensory information from both conscious and subconscious minds. The power of communication helps them with quick response, adaptable character, always eagerness, and witty.
Negative Characteristics
An affiliated Budha can make an individual highly suspicious, serious, cunning, and extremely selfish in behaviors with the intent of only thinking of themselves. A negative Budha in one’s life can also make them very greedy and jealous in nature which is the stepping stone of a downfall in their life. The adaptable nature also has a negative side, is they can be highly influenced by others if they are malefic in nature. Stress associated with career, finance, and growth is typical with number 5 people and this can cause serious health concerns associated with heart and nerves.
Health
Number 5 rules over our nervous system, respiratory system, skin, and specific pain caused due to postures. These individuals should also take great care associated with kidney issues, constipation, weak memory, blood pressure, and also fear of evil spirits.

Astrologically
Budha (Mercury) is a Prithvi-tattva planet and is considered the ‘Prince’ amongst all the planets. It is also the most adaptable planet whereby with whomever this planet sits, it acquires the characteristics of those planets too, hence it is rather easy to make Mercury positive or negative depending upon the conjunction and/or aspect.
A positive aspect of Mercury can bring about excellent financial and communication skills, however, a negative or ill-positioned Mercury can cause more harm than any other malefic planet in one’s horoscope.
Lordship
Budha (Mercury) rules two signs, Mithuna (Gemini) and Kanya (Virgo). Mithuna is the natural third house of the natural zodiac and is the key for communication, short travels, the power of learning, and the fighting spirit. It just shows the key attributes that Mercury holds whereby these become very essential in the survival in the current yuga.
Kanya (Virgo) on the other hand represents purity and also is the natural 6th house of the natural zodiac which represents your shortcomings. It is a very critical house because as it can be negative, it can also be a positive house associated with growth. It is an extremely tricky house because it is a sign of purity is also the reason for your birth and area one needs to fix in this lifetime. Hence, as much as Mercury can help in growth, the ill-effect can be greed.
Exaltation
Budha (Mercury) gets exalted in Kanya (Virgo), which clearly highlights the fact that purity and growth are the key fundamentals of these planets, as a child the two things that differentiate them are constant learning which helps them grow mentally and physically.
Debilitation
Budha (Mercury) gets in debilitation in Meena (Pisces), whereby the sign of Meena is that of the deep ocean and still state and this is something very difficult for Mercury to achieve. Meena is also the 12th sign of the natural zodiac which is associated with confinement, deep meditation, and salvation. These concepts are not the comfortable area of Mercury, hence it feels in a miserable state.
As per VASTU SHASTRA, Budha (Mercury) rules the North direction
North is generally considered the direction of wealth
Water is the element of this direction.
Elements such as blue color or dark blue curtains can also help in balancing the area.
This direction should always be free from clutter, dirt, or anything that drains wealth out.
General Remedy
Massage once a week with almond oil
Morning walks if possible bare feet on green grass
Fast on a full moon
Drink fruits and a lot of green vegetables
Consume less salt
Conclusion
Looking at the traits of Budha it is essential to understand that it not only has a positive impact but can derail you in many ways and may be difficult to bring it to balance due to its nature hence working on it from the very start is extremely essential.
