From the very beginning, I had realised there is some sort of stage energy in me.
I had terrible stage fright, and a bad experience during my teens worsened it.
But from the very beginning of when I entered business, and even before that, there was something about the idea of sharing my thoughts 1:many that really appealed.
My first blog and social account was created in my 20s… a food blog and place to express my creativity in recipe blending and creation.
And then the long journey of building when I eventually entered business in my mid 30s, going from completely anxious to calm when delivering webinars (this was a 6 year climb).
Social posting came easily (once I let go of initial fears and anxiety), and eventually also videos.
Every line 5 I have ever come across carries this energy (3/5, 5/1, 5/2, 2/5).
Not in an attention seeking, look at me kind of way.
But a natural magnetic presence, that comes alive in front of an audience.
It’s like a pull that calls you home.
In this post today I want to focus specifically on the Stage energy of the line 5, and the different ways of how this may show up for you.
Famous line 5s include Madonna, Nelson Mandela, Taylor Swift, Arnold Schwartznegger, Martin Luther King, Ra Ura hu (All 5/1s)
Angelina Jolie, Kim Kardashian, Kate Winslet (All 3/5s)
Adele, Jason Alexander, Coco Chanel (All 2/5s)
Christina Ricci, Marlon Brando, George Clooney (All 5/2s)
Specifically when it comes to the line 5 Stage energy – these are the ways it may often show up:
- Line 5s crave validation
This begins from childhood. And Ra actually speaks about this in that one of the most important things in parenting a line 5 child is to ensure that they are given the recognition and encouragement to express their gifts early on.
This carries through to adulthood.
Without having this, the line 5 retreats and begins to hold back their gifts.
From a personal perspective, I have seen how surrounding myself with the right cheerleaders, and coaches that deeply see and validate my gifts and uniqueness has had an incredible nourishing feeling to allow me to flourish.
This isn’t about necessarily being praised for effort. This is less rewarding for a line 5 – it is more about the specificity and pointing out why it is unique.
This is because Line 5s are often navigating being misunderstood or idealised, and therefore crave the honest and accurate reflections — real and TRUE validation from those that see who they truly are behind the mask.
- Line 5s automatically enter ‘stage’ mode:
Because of this, they can often feel the pressure to ‘perform’, and can sometimes fall into over-orchestrating rather than letting it flow.
This is core to how their aura operates. Line 5s are here to be seen! And people naturally expect them to have answers, leadership, strategic solutions. Which can create the unconscious pressure to “be on, deliver, fix it”.
The most important thing is for a Line 5 to be aware of this energy – and not be pulled into a place where they perform based on what they think people are wanting and needing from them, without being anchored to their inner truth.
This is a constant practice and anchor needed for a Line 5.
- Line 5s need an audience
Line 5 gifts are best activated when seen (and as above, recognised).
It isn’t necessarily always about having a big audience – especially for those with the 2 line blended in, which needs that space to withdraw.
But about having the right audience to serve.
- Line 5s often are constantly ‘branding’ themselves unconsciously.
Line 5s often create a persona that ‘works’ (branding early on and from the start) – something that gets them approval, status or visibility.
But if that identity isn’t rooted in their truth, it can start to feel hollow – and eventually collapse.
Authenticity and the constant connection to their inner truth is their greatest protector. If they live their truth loudly and clearly, their projection fields will naturally attract more of what is likely to be aligned.
Such are the psychological and energetic realities of living as a line 5.
However, the way it shows up may differ depending on
5/1s —> The authority/respected expert
3/5s —> The entertainer/raw rebel
5/2s —> The hidden genius/reluctant hero
2/5s —> The magnetic natural/natural leader
If you are one of the above Line 5’s, what do you recognise in these 4 energetic aspects?
Which shows up most strongly for you?
Are there one of these types you’d like me to dig more into?
