Whatever situation they are in or whatever person or group of people they are with, people born on July 5 have a flair for injecting sparkle, energy and excitement into the atmosphere. Everything about them is vivid and colorful, and their charming manners and interesting conversation light up the workplace and social gatherings.
Thriving on constant variety and stimulation, their life never seems to stand still, and even if they are in a routine of some kind because of work or family commitments they will make sure that they have a hobby or interest to absorb them. They can, however, alienate others with their boundless energy and enthusiasm. Although they tend to have many admirers, some people may have trouble keeping up with their explosive pace; their wild shifts in mood may also frustrate those who admire them but doubt their reliability.
Before the age of eighteen, they may often have problems or difficulties with school or study. This is because their restless nature makes it hard for them to concentrate for long periods or conform to a schedule. Their vivid imagination may also make them feel different in some way, but they should cherish rather than repress it as later in life it may offer them an endless source of inspiration. After the age of eighteen their confidence increases; these are the years they are most likely to be adventurous and creative. It is important during this period that they learn to maintain a sense of stability, not frittering their energy and away in too many directions. After the age of forty-seven they may become more discriminating and efficient.
The key to their success is education and learning, as these will help develop the discipline and awareness they need to reach their true potential. Their desire to keep busy will always be a key characteristic, but when it is combined with a more centered existence their explosive ideas will finally come down from the drawing board and transform into accomplishments or achievements that are progressive and lasting in their impact.
☆ On the dark side：Wild, erratic, unreliable
☆ At your best：Exciting, entertaining, imaginative
There is rarely a dull moment in the lives of July 5 people, as their mercurial energies jump from one subject to another—tasting, testing and moving on. Those born on this day love the variety and sparkle of life, unusual and out of the way people, subjects, color combinations, panoramas. In almost constant and rapid motion, either physically or mentally. July 5 people are charming enough to capture the hearts of those around them (they love entertaining) but are generally not the stalwart types you want to rely on for maintenance, upkeep and support.
July 5 people not only recognize opportunities but go for them. They are adept at the art of persuasion and therefore must beware of using such talents in manipulative schemes.
Charismatic and powerful, but not always well grounded, they can sweep those around them away in the enthusiasm they generate. Seeking a stable partner or enterprise that will anchor their energies and structure their talents may assert itself as a main priority at a crucial point in their lives, perhaps at age twenty-eight to thirty (first Saturn return) or in their early forties (first Uranus opposition, mid-life crisis).
Adolescence is a particularly difficult and hectic time for many July 5 people. Off-beat relationships, ever-changing interests and erratic school performance, or inability to maintain a constant schedule are typical. Also, the imaginative inner life is unusually active, producing stimulating dreams and fantasies. It is these early visions that form the basis of later successes and failures. In the former case (success), those born on this day manifest these visions into a concrete external reality. In the latter case, they are frightened by the strength of such images and lack the courage to integrate them in their waking life. Perhaps they then withdraw into a private dream world, while working quite nonnal jobs with little or no psychological gratification.
Even if July 5 people work an office job (or really any nine-to-five-type employment), they can manage to express their fantasies creatively in a hobby or other pastime. Problems arise, however, when they neglect their partner and/or children, devoting all of their free time to such pursuits. One positive solution is that their hobby be inclusive of loved ones (e.g., improving home life with gardening, pets, interior design, etc.) July 5 people must make an effort to let their families know that they are indeed loved and not taken for granted.
The vivid, flamboyant nature of those born on this day generates many interesting opportunities for friends and colleagues who come in contact with them. The greatest challenge for July 5 people is in maintaining stability and avoiding a wasteful scattering of their talents and energies.
Power Thought：I am here, in the present, in the moment，The mind is outside
Those born on the 5th day of the month are ruled by the number 5 and by the planet Mercury. Since Mercury represents quickness of thought and change, July 5 people may find themselves likely to overreact to stimuli and to change their minds and physical surroundings with great regularity. Whatever hard knocks or pitfalls those ruled by the number 5 encounter in life, they usually recover quickly. However, because of the Moon's influence (the Moon rules Cancer). July 5 people may evidence deep and lasting wounds from emotional defeats or matters of love.
The 5th card of the Major Arcana is The Hierophant. an interpreter of sacred mysteries who is symbolic of human understanding and of faith.

Favorable traits conferred by this card are self-assuredness, absence of doubt and proper interpretation; unfavorable traits are moralizing, bombast and dogmatism.
☆Luck maker：(Learn to meditate)Meditation is a powerful way to attract more luck and happiness into your life. This is because it teaches you to focus your thoughts on the here and now so your intuition can get your attention.
You’re drawn to people born on August 24 to September 24：This is a classic case of opposites attract. You both have so much to learn and give to each other.
People born on July 5 may often resist attempts to make them settle down, and it will take someone special to hold their attention for long and add much-needed stability to their life. They prefer to be associated with people who are charismatic, exciting and influential like themselves, but they would benefit more from associating with those who have a calmer, gentler and more centered approach.
People born on this day love to experiment in all aspects of their life, emotionally intellectually and physically. Their diet is likely to be varied and interesting and, as long as they make sure they don’t go for long periods without food, when they are absorbed in their work they are likely to be eating healthily; as their life is often hectic and they are prone to coughs and colds, however, they might benefit from a multi-vitamin and mineral pill every day. Regular exercise is recommended, especially activities and sports that involve other people in a competitive or social way. Mind-training therapies that encourage them to slow down, calm down and focus their minds such as meditation, hypnotherapy and cognitive therapy are highly recommended. An ideal way for them to unwind after a hectic day would be in a warm bath with one drop of juniper essential oil. Wearing the color blue will also help them feel calmer and more centered.
July 5 people often have strange tastes in food. "One man's meat is another man's poison certainly applies to them. For this reason they should, for the most part, be left to their own devices, since they nonetheless seek out the nutrition they need, and their healthful joy in appreciating the unusual colors, textures and appearance of food should not be undervalued. Unusual tastes in other areas of life may be equally healthy but must not be allowed to undermine their psychological stability. July 5 people best find their physical exercise in games and sports of a playful nature.
These people have creative flair that may express itself in careers in design, invention, technology, art, music, film-making, and dance. Multi-talented, they may also excel in a variety of occupations including sales, promotion, banking, counseling, and the world of entertainment. A dislike for taking orders often leads them into positions of authority and a love of variety may provoke them to work on their own.
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to maintain stability in their relationships and their lives. Once they are more grounded, their destiny is to innovate and reform and, by so doing, realize their vision.
Don't keep your imagination to yourself. Share it with others, thus brightening the daily lives of family and friends. Don't give in to depression if you go unappreciated. Keep on trying. Ikmindful of the everyday tasks that require your attention.
