The Child No.
The above information tells us that Bono has an Adult no. of 4, and a Child no. of 5. Taking the Child no. first, we note that it is an Earth/Soil no. Earth people, whether they be children or adults, tend to have an insatiable curiosity, and need continuous mental stimulation. Those generally have a love of learning, but may not retain the information after they have learnt it, simply moving on to their next project.
5s can project an air of serenity in almost any situation, and will often appear to be very much in control of themselves and their circumstances. Even where this is actually the case they will invariably have an underlying sense that things could easily fall apart the image of the swan sailing serenely on the surface as its feet paddle frantically comes to mind. They tend to act as catalysts for those around them, stimulating them to action, so that those in the company of a 5 will seldom be bored. 5s also have an innate capacity for quickly solving complex problems which have left others baffled. Their interests are likely to be varied, and they may well have a variety of groups of friends who have little contact with each other. They may indulge in extremes of behaviour to test their limits, but usually have levels of physical and mental resilience far beyond those of any of the other numbers. Perhaps as a consequence of this they often thrive in adversity.
Although they tend to be quite blunt in expressing their views, they are remarkably thin-skinned when it comes to themselves. Even the gentlest and most constructive criticism may be regarded by the 5 as being deeply invasive. 5s are not given to fitting in for the sake of it witness Bono and friends as teenagers forming the collective known as The Village, out of which came such diverse talents as The Virgin Prunes, Gavin Friday, and Guggi. Equally, although U2 were inspired by Punk Rock itself a step outside the social and musical mainstream they also drew on influences as diverse as Irish folk ballads, country, and soul, which was not the norm within Punk.
The Adult No.
As an adult, Bono is a 4, and one of the key characteristics of the 4 is idealism. Bono was often criticized for sloganeering, as he demonstrated the 4s tendency to not think things through fully. 4s are seldom short of ideas, but those ideas may not always be practical, and thus it is a marked advantage for Bono to have his bandmates and his wife Ali to help exercise quality control. 4s may suffer many disappointments, but have the great gift of being able to move quickly, and with undiminished enthusiasm, onto the next project. As the 4 learns from hard experience, so Bono will have learned to be more focused in his pronouncements, and more in charge of his facts.
With both the 4 and the 5 there is a deep need to be acknowledged, and even when he is offstage the lure of an audience will remain strong for Bono. The 4 is naturally drawn to artistic pursuits, and singing is an especially nourishing way for him to transform and release any emotional tension. This in turn helps to ensure that he can continue to present a very positive and upbeat image to the world. Being seen in a favourable light is very important to the 4, as, like the 5 there is an underlying quality of self-doubt, which is a constant companion. This can lead to the 4 speaking for effect, and embroidering the facts to fit their theories, even when they know that they have departed from the truth. As the 4 has a habit of being involved in too many things at once not to mention procrastinating allotting time frames for each of their activities is strongly advised.
Stress Patterns
Looking at the dynamic between the numbers tells us that, under stress, Bono is likely to feel deeply frustrated, resulting in a state of panic although he may only display this to those closest to him. To prevent such situations he would be well advised to make regular time for his spiritual development. To have lasting meaning for him, this spiritual path must be inspiring rather than mundane, and even the surroundings should be uplifting.
General
As stated, the 5 will act as a catalyst for others, and even though Bono will now be living primarily out of his adult number 4, the influence of the child number will remain an active part of his experience. Coupled with the natural attractiveness of the 5, the 4 can have quite a magnetic draw, especially when making eye contact. People may even accuse Bono of seeing right into, or through them.
