A Soul Numerology year FIVE is the YEAR OF INTROSPECTION. It is a year spent licking any wounds caused by issues in the previous few years. It heralds a rest year, though it is unlikely to be one as the observing spirit will not let the human stop wandering, not when there are still many unresolved matters.
The last year may well have been spent coming to terms with the unexpected events presented by the Year 3; adjustment takes time, and the idea with the five is to have a breathing space. However, it can be linked to The Devil card in the tarot; which relates to The Path Of Ayin on the Tree Of Life. It is the year where the mind and the heart are in force at the same time. The first 4 years of the cycle are the intellect years; the last four are the emotional years. Therefore the 5 is bang in the middle and is the year where the two forces clash.
It is a confusing time.
The vices of a five year are impatience and frustration. It is often a stop/start year with the adjustments needing to be made to the changes brought by the 3 being made. These can be inexplicable and shocking endings; just when it seemed progress was being made. It is necessary to just hole up in the bear cave; hibernate until the final adjustments are made. The 5 is that kind of year.
The idea is to think and contemplate life. It is a year that is recommended as one where mindfulness or meditation are brought into practice.
