As if the date to circle a whole while there isn't a whole to shape, this is somewhat a strange time in February when all meaning seems to be somewhere ahead of the road, and information can be spread to infinity. This entire date is marked by communication and movement, quick and personal, with no intent to slow down or take too much responsibility along the way.
February 5th Horoscope
As with all combinations of Mercury with the Moon, this is a day that speaks of a subtle connection of mind and heart. On their search for intellectual dominance, the Universal thought, and the field of ideas, Aquarius representatives born on the 5th of February will discover that everything they need to know already hides in their heart. Information will be lost and found, and their memories their most useful tool for self-discovery. It is important that they communicate intimately and without boundaries with people around them, so they can build a safe environment, listen and be heard.
Love and Emotions
The story of February 5th isn't necessarily a love story in its primal manifestation. Usually these individuals think about emotions too much to just sink in, guided by common sense and their brilliant minds. When they are stressed about relationships in their lives and have some difficult role models in their parents, they can be quite distant from the idea of love with another human being, and turn to idealism of one divine love for everyone, to support their humanitarian inner strivings.
As time goes by and they slowly start to live the nature of a true Aquarius, they will open their hearts for the world bit by bit. In many cases, they meet someone when they get older or when they have already made vast changes in their lives that separate them from the family tree and the past they have been tied by. Still, their greatest inspiration seems to be bound in the sense of freedom, and they need a partner to give them just that.
Purpose
Besides the need to find oneness and resolve the opposition they carry within, people born on the 5th of February really have a task to unveil the mysteries of Aquarius and find things to enlighten them, stress them out, and make them question everything they were ever thinking. Their purpose is to do the same for others, and they will often turn to Astrology or Numerology in the attempt to discover the language of symbolism they can relate to. As soon as they find enough compassion and tenderness in their heart, they absorb the strangest knowledge and information from the "upper spheres" and serve the rest of us as guidance towards enlightenment.
What They Excel In
A typical Aquarius representative, each person born on the 5th of February has a brain to support them in whatever they choose to do. They will excel as scientists, researchers, astrologers, pilots and engineers, and express well through spoken and written word. Learning through life and with the flow of it, they don't need much education to find use in everything they stumble upon. It is their wit and fast, curious mind that guides the way. If they discover their talents soon enough, their search for freedom will be much easier. Still, it is never too late for them to follow their inspiration.
February 5th Birthday Gift

In general, it is easier to satisfy their curiosity than their emotional needs in just one day.
