The Merry Month of May

What makes it so merry? It's the number 5 or the fifth month of the year. In order to better understand this number, think of freedom, constructive change and progress. May is the month to enjoy yourself more, bring constructive (versus destructive change) into your life. By doing this, you can make great progress. The number 5 in ancient times was considered the number of regeneration. Psychologically, it appeals to us at a very deep level. The number 5 is seen as the pentagonal star and used over and over in nature's design. We encounter stars and pentagonal structures throughout all of nature. Your advertisers know this and it is used, for example, in the Texaco star, the Proctor and Gamble stars in their logo and all of the flags that contain stars.

You have traveled from the beginning (January) through the discipline of the number 4 (April) to free yourself up and make changes this month. Do it in a timely manner as there will be the important Mercury Retrograde transit beginning May 26th. This will be in Retrograde through June 19th. Try not to sign or buy during this period. Even a few days before and after this period are suspect. Get your business done early in the month. Don't be afraid of making appropriate changes. The energy this month supports you to do so. What changes do you need to make in light of recent developments in your life? The number 5 is the balance, the Golden Mean and it is in the middle of numbers one through nine. Remember to keep your balance in the various segments of your life. May will help you.

I have had a wonderful response to my offer to speak to various groups in Southern California regarding the changes we are experiencing in our personal and public lives. More and more people want to know why these seemingly disconnected events are happening. What are the best ways to respond to them? As I have said over and over for many months, we are in the midst of a New World Renaissance and it is affecting all of us. Nobody is spared. Change or be changed is the condition we are witnessing.

My new DVD will finally be out in about mid May and it covers many of the points of this Renaissance. Just as during the last Renaissance, there is a global societal wave of change and movement forward. The United States was the catalyst for it back in 1776 and you can see it is now in the final one third of the experience. Expect your lives to be examined and reexamined over the next 15 to 20 years - especially here in the United States. Soul-searching is going all around and we are beginning to feel as if we stayed too long at a party and had too much food and drink. People are clamoring for a good night's sleep, time to process events in their lives and a simplicity and sincerity in their experiences. The talking heads and the hype have gotten old and loud and from what I hear, people are pretty exhausted.

What to do? I will be conducting an all-day workshop on July 19th at the Manhattan Beach Marriott just outside of Los Angeles, to address these issues and what you can do to help yourself through these major changes. As you know, I do not encourage syrup or fluff in my teachings. We don't have money or time for it. We must take responsibility for our own lives. I will deliver very practical ideas to help you through these times as well as explain in great detail how all this was set up and why. We can't blame everything on George Bush. The times and conditions did not begin with him nor will they end with him. He, too, is a catalyst as well as a reflection. When we realize that the number one cause of sick days in America is depression, we can see that there is something deeply out of balance with our population. Self-medication through food, drugs, workaholics and other forms of self-soothing beget even greater problems.

We are being invited to be active participants in a New World Order. It is exciting, scary and challenging. No longer does the old way of doing business work. Every area of our lives is affected. These include how you eat, sleep, take care of your body, your careers, your family, your intimate relationships, your finances, your self-image, your integrity, your authenticity and your truth. What appear to be very negative events, such as high gas prices, is a tool to get us to change many of our daily habits and to be conscious of our life styles. Fossil fuels are a throwback to the old Piscean Age-water, fluid age, and are not part of the Aquarian Age we are living - an air age. In order to accelerate the process of getting rid of them, the addiction to them has to go through a withdrawal. As in any addiction and recovery, it is not pretty or fun. Recovery is worth it, though, so we do it.

It is not enough to read books, attend workshops, listen to CDs and then call ourselves "on the path". The next 15 to 20 years will be a time to see if you really are. There are very powerful forces operating on this planet now. An example is the major Pluto in Capricorn transit that begins the end of this year. We have had a 6 month peek at it since January. Look at how much has happened during the last 5 months. We'll get a reprieve for about 7 months then it will be back to help us "get real". It will stay with us for years and it will really give you the opportunity to develop courage, wisdom and focus in your lives. Oh joy!!!

For those of you who are thinking of borrowing money now, refinancing etc., do it while interest rates are low. This "low interest rate" period will not continue indefinitely and you can expect higher rates once this election is over. I will address the election and the ramifications from it during my July workshop. Save the date.

In the meantime, make getting a good night's sleep a priority. This will help you tremendously. I always say as well that it is the best beauty treatment. I wish us all that inner peace that contributes to the good of each and every one of us. Remember, we are connected to each other. My friend Martha Stevens-Moore, who will be coming to Los Angeles next year, suggests we see others who are behaving badly, i.e. "evil-doers" as coined by George Bush, as a "lower vibration of Love". It has helped me to think of the offensive people in our lives as "lower vibrations of Love".

Until next month,

Keep trusting yourself,

— Gail
