November 2023, according to the Chinese calendar, is Gui and Hai—both corresponding to the Water element. Gui Hai month is characterized by heightened emotional sensitivity, intuitive depth, and a focus on empathy and creativity. This month, therefore, is generally favorable for activities that involve emotional expression, creative exploration, spiritual development, and nurturing interactions.
Financially, markets may be whipsawed by instability of world events. Despite stronger-than-expected GDP numbers in the third quarter, there are headwinds as investors’ digest regional conflicts with an emotional flight to the safety of the US treasury and gold leaving equity markets under water—as November is a double Water month. This is a continuation of the financial trends from the prior month of tightening financial conditions due to record high-interest rates, lower lending, consumer pull back, and general pessimism of the Water versus the optimism of the Fire element that is required to spark the market once again.
Individually, November is a favorable month for Wood, Metal, and Water Element people, neutral for Earth Element, and challenging for Fire people. The vulnerable areas of health are kidneys and adrenal glands, reproductive and cardiovascular systems, and circulation. If you don’t yet know your element, take a short quiz to find out. Read on for your personalized horoscope here.
Your Fire Element may find it challenging to thrive in a double Water month because Water tends to counteract Fire’s natural tendencies. This month may require a more cautious and deliberate approach, emphasizing emotional depth and understanding over passionate action.
Physical Health
Fire Element individuals are associated with the heart in Chinese medicine. Because your nature is a tendency to be consumed by your passions, especially given the emotional sensitivity of a Water month, you may experience more anxiety, stress, palpitations, shortness of breath, and chest pains.
Tip: Be sure to ask for an EKG during your annual physical exam, and if your symptoms persist beyond 3 days, go to urgent care or the ER. Focus on maintaining a balanced lifestyle, including getting sufficient sleep of at least 8 hours each night, and consume a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Avoid overindulging in comfort foods and excessive sweets. Engaging in regular physical activities like walking, biking, and tai chi. If you have trouble sleeping, listen to my guided meditation for sleep or use the Sleep Essential Oil at bedtime.
Emotional Health
This month, you’ll experience heightened emotional intensity as your Fire's extra sensitivity can lead to intense feelings, reactions, and disagreements.
Tip: Prioritize self-care during this emotionally charged period. Engage in activities that help you relax and de-stress, such as meditation, hobbies, or spending time in nature. Taking care of your emotional well-being is crucial for maintaining overall balance. Try listening to the Calm Meditation to decompress your tension daily.
Relationship Health
With the double Water element this month overwhelming your Fire, you may experience more feelings of insecurity and unhappiness.
Tip: Use this time for personal growth within your relationships. Reflect on your emotional responses, needs, and desires. Acknowledge and appreciate the positive aspects of your relationship. Positive reinforcement and expressions of love can strengthen the emotional connection between you and your partner.
Financial Health
There is a tendency for you to indulge in “shopping therapy” to fulfill your emotional needs.
Tip: In your financial dealings, offer support when necessary and practice empathy. Being fair and supportive in financial interactions can lead to positive outcome. Take this time to reflect on your financial goals and make any necessary adjustments. Gui Hai months are ideal for setting intentions related to financial well-being and aligning your goals with your intuitive insights.
Career Health
Your ambitions and enthusiasm may not receive full support at work, leading you to feel not appreciated and acknowledged.
Tip:In the workplace, being emotionally intelligent is crucial. Be attentive to your own emotions and those of your colleagues. Show empathy and understanding in your interactions. Approach conflicts with a constructive mindset, seeking resolutions that satisfy you and your colleagues.
