Whatever it is that May 20th people like to do, they like to do it a lot. These are people who really can’t keep what they’ve got inside – they’ve just got to let it out! Moreover, they are not content to express themselves in a vacuum but must bring their prodigious energies to bear on all around them. Examining, probing their environment, they subject ideas to the rigorous examination of their keenly analytic minds. Perhaps they would be bottled up in their hands, were it not for a very strong physical side which also cries out for expression.
It seems as if those born on this day must seek amusement to keep from being bored. This can put a strain on those around them, who sometimes feel cast in the role of entertainers. Since May 20th people are very outwardly directed, they may not take the time and trouble to get to know themselves. Yet this is essential for both their spiritual and emotional evolution. May 20th people may find themselves accused of superficiality, as some born on this day do indeed skim along the surface of life, never putting down deep roots anywhere. But for other May 20th people, this perception has more to do with their interests being so wide-ranging or their output so high that their sincerity or profundity is called into question.
Many born on May 20th are addicted to travel, whether it be globetrotting or just getting out of the house and going somewhere. When their pace gets too frenetic, however, it is inevitably followed by a partial or complete breakdown. Indeed, much of their energy manifests as nervousness, and though they are capable of successfully producing time after time, they are more apt to express themselves in periodic bursts of energy.
May 20th people tend to be enthusiastic, yet also highly critical. This mental outlook manifests as quick thinking but also endless worry, and is particularly susceptible to fears of all kinds. Indeed, many May 20th people have a mind that is like a motor that will not turn off, often connected to a mouth that works the same way. Two spiritual lessons that they must learn are, first, to still their mind, to empty out, and second, to stand back and observe themselves at a distance. If May 20th people can master the meditative and objective lessons, they will proceed on their evolutionary path. If not, they will get bogged down in an endless mental mess of unrealized dreams and broken-down schemes.
One of the principal characteristics of May 20th people is that they jump from one project to another with alarming speed. They learn quickly, but after reaching a plateau of proficiency often move off to something fresh, a new challenge. “Variety is the spice of life†may well become the credo. However, the most successful of May 20th people often restrict themselves to one discipline in which they can exercise a variety of abilities of talents. They learn that having set something up, it is necessary to stick with it and administer to it as well – in a word, maintain.
HEALTH: Where the health of May 20th people is concerned, stability is the watchword. Dancing, regular sex, childbearing, or physical exercise may serve to ground them in their bodies. In addition, the responsibilities of a family, and the role of provider, promote stability, and lend structure to their lives. The use of drugs (tranquilizers, sleeping pills) may be temporarily helpful when recommended by a physician, but must not become a long-term solution to nervousness or insomnia. Of course, hallucinogenic of all sorts should be eyed with extreme caution. As far as diet is concerned, if May 20th people are eating on the run or bringing home take-out food, they may have to take food supplements to provide the vitamins and minerals lacking in their diet. A good daily dose of vitamin C is recommended.
ADVICE: Observe yourself living. Meditate. Find your center and remain in touch with it. Turn off the motor. Limit yourself to the task at hand whenever possible, and finish what is on your plate.
MEDITATION: In the human sexual arena, roles can be quickly reversed.
