Simply from the numerology, I see 5 as meaning a set:
5 fingers on a hand,
5 points on a star,
5 directions on Leonardo da Vinci's Virtruvian Man
5 Books of Moses.
I have also heard that 5 is the "number of grace" with 4 being the human elements and 5 (like the 5th element or Major Arcana) being the higher dimension.
Certain views of the Hierophant (V) night confirm this idea???
However, the 5s in the minor arcana all seem a little negative (although I know all cards are +and -), like the more eastern view of odd numbers. (In China, for example, we always served an even number of dishes to guests.)
I do see a stained glass window in 5 of Coins and two upright cups in 5 of Cups. However, like the 7s, the cards do not always speak to my understanding of thee numerology.
