Mulank 5 is ruled by Budh, and it is the most sociable root in the set. Fives learn fast, talk well, and are trusted with money and negotiation from a young age. The tradition calls 5 the friend of every number — it is the one root that gets along with all the others.
The associated weakness is nervous restlessness. Mercury does not sit still, and a 5 without an outlet for movement will manufacture one, usually by changing something that was working. Classical advice for this root is almost entirely about consistency.
Strengths
- Learns and adapts faster than anyone
- Commercially sharp and quick with numbers
- Gets along with every other root
Challenges
- Nervous energy with no off switch
- Changes what did not need changing
- Spreads thin and calls it opportunity
The traditional remedy
Keep Wednesday, donate green gram or green cloth, and practise pranayama for the nervous restlessness. Emerald is the classical stone. Feed cows fodder on Wednesdays.
