THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY - the fifth month.

As we move down the street of May, the world is blooming in the Northern Hemisphere. We feel as if we can really have those warmer, sunnier days and are free. How fitting for the No. 5. May is the change month, the month to move forward and make changes. It is the middle of the journey between No. 1 and No. 10. The Greeks called it Pentad, representing life itself.

We experience the Pentad or the No. 5 in all expressions of five such as our fingers, toes, claws, paws and the pentagram (five pointed) star. The four elements supply the material (solids, liquids, gases and electronic fire) but the Pentad carries life forward. It has the power to regenerate.

Having said all of that, this is the month, the No. 5, to regenerate you. Move on, move out, move up, move in, move down but move. Where have you been stuck this year? This is the month to make appropriate change. Give yourself a 5-pointed Gold Star (they are everywhere in the classroom) for affecting change in yourself. From ancient times the star has been a magical symbol for warding off evil. Did you ever notice how often it is used in flags? America's flag is full of stars. The world recognizes this archetype at a very deep level. It understands it represents excellence and power. Reach for the stars this month, plaster them on your walls and mirrors. Free yourself from your own self-limiting behavior.

Question of the Month
Does the number of the day I am born, for example May 1st, influence my life?

Answer
Yes, definitely. It bears great significance in understanding who you are and what specific talent you possess. It is the added boost that will help you on your life's journey. Even though it is one of your core numbers - the others being your Life Path from your full date of birth, Your Destiny, from your full name at birth, Your Personality from your consonants and your past or Soul from your vowels - it ranks last in weight. It does reveal, however, a particular quality that you have to a very strong degree. That in itself is very important to know, particularly if one of your karmic lessons in your name is the same as the day you are born.

No matter what you are thinking, hoping and praying for, the past is dead. You may see a semblance of some old memories of it but time has moved on. We are not going to go through another "flipping houses" phenomenon. We are going to be hunkering down, fixing up the house we live in and baking casseroles. What a difference a year makes! Welcome to limits and controls - in all areas of life. We thought that the expansion would go on forever - a bigger house, new car, big food portions, big clothes and big mouths. I have always mentioned in my talks that without limits we are formless. Just think, if a tree did not have built-in limits, we might never see its top. Unchecked growth is similar to cancer. It is dangerous.

Can you get your arms around the idea that we are going through a long (16 year) period of transformation. We will become more conservative and have more government control - it is already happening. The next two years are similar to the end of the 20's prior to the deflation of the 1930's. There is excess in the system and lots of distortion among the players. Government will become business and business becomes the government. We eventually will get fed up and see an increase in blogs, internet chatter, town hall meetings and people at the barricades. It will take awhile. The transformation will happen in stages.

For now, we get clear and simplified. We take work that is available to us knowing that if we are out there moving, things can happen. We use our minds to create clever ideas in making income. We do not rely on the government to save us. We are the government but we have relinquished control in some way. This will take time for us to realize and regain our footing. We maintain our health - no matter what - no matter what. Please remember that. It is the most important asset you can have during this initiation period.

I had to spend time this past week in an emergency room with my neighbor. He had a repeated bleeding episode. For those of you who have been to an emergency room in the city, you know what this is like. I tell you, it is a bit of Ellis Island and the Mad Hatter. There is every walk of humanity in there. You quickly know that the system is very overwhelmed and the people are desperate. You sense that if they miss a day of work, they will not be able to pay the rent. I saw a woman in utter agony spend about 7 hours prior to admittance. It is painful to witness and a sad commentary on what we have tolerated for so long.

This incident is part of the transformational changes that America will go through over these next 16 years. Multiply this factor is so many areas of our society and you can see why we must clean up our act. "Too big to fail" has become a cliché. Gerald Celente in his "Trends Journal" brings up that perhaps "we are too small to save". What a concept. Could we somehow get through to those who make decisions on our behalf? To answer my own question, not yet. It is coming, but not for awhile. The citizens are very quiet still.

What can you do to help yourself through the next two years? I have suggested creating the five year and ten year plans. This is very important for your sanity and to know that you are able to direct your life towards a specific vision or goal. Stay healthy. Watch what you put in your mouth and who you associate with. Get involved at the local level in your government. Change comes from within. Have salons in your home, bring in good speakers, ask questions, attend town hall meetings, send out messages and share ideas.

Become very clear with your thinking and do NOT believe everything you read or hear. Do not allow yourself to be placated by strokes and positive words. The experts are rarely experts but are more about PR and marketing. Watch for the words that are not said and what words are being substituted for real answers.

Stay active or start getting active. Do not hibernate, particularly if you are without a job. If you are unable to find work, you may have to move and leave your dear possessions behind. It is that kind of time. You may take very tough measures to turn things around. You can and you will if you are clear in your options. Take temporary measures to get more permanent ones. Remember, just about everything is available in the health care professions. There is some type of work that is needed. If you have to do a much lower level position than you could stand, take it for awhile and do the very best you can. You are working with the unseen world and it knows. Always remember to work with the unseen world. The world of appearance can be very frightening, the unseen world is not. That is where you can create something new and supportive for yourself.

Maintain your good relationships and your good health. You can start over. You may not like to do that but if you can sleep well in a small bed, you can later sleep well in a large one. If we are focused with our minds and hearts, we can change our lives in a twinkle of an eye. Our Souls are not "homed" here. We have come in here on our journey of growth and awareness. We take with us only what we have learned. Once we get it that we are all connected, we can advance forward in our incarnations. Do not despair; do not accept misery as your lot. You must remember that you are merely at a station waiting for the train. You cannot hurry it along but you can decide to enjoy the ride it will take you on. All aboard!!!!!

Until next month,

Keep trusting yourself,

— Gail
