HEBREW PHOENICIAN GREEK ROMAN PRESENT-DAY
E – 5
There was no graphic sign in Hebrew for E since their alphabet con-
tained no vowels. The Phoenicians took the consonant Hé (hay), which is
equivalent to the English consonant H, and changed the symbol %%%%% to
for their own consonant. After 900 B.C. the Greeks borrowed the sign,
reversed it to E, called it Epsilon, and used it for their short E vowel,
in order to differentiate it from their long E vowel, Eta.
Like 5, E is open. It is open to talk, sing, and speak, so it is a letter of
communication, of words. When negative it can be vocally critical of others.
E-5 is open all around so it needs its freedom. It tends to have a
nervous temperament and a temper. It is the 5 of the five senses so it is
“open” to try, test, and taste everything. It may overdo things because it
is so open.
The 5 is on a rocker so it is changeable, and will frequently change its
mind. It has a tendency to lie. Negative 5’s can get into trouble with the law.
The E is so energetic and restless, it needs something worthwhile to
keep it occupied. E can be openly affectionate and loving or the opposite,
cold as ice. It is generally extroverted.
