For thousands of years, the I Ching has provided guidance for decisions about our health, relationships, financial matters, work, and play. Predictions from the I Ching follow the lunar year and are based on multiple, overlapping cycles that govern the heavens and earth. A variety of stems, branches, directions, and phases also have their say, each creating a trail of portents, probabilities, and possibilities… so let us begin.
In the Chinese horoscope, November is the tenth month of the lunar calendar in a soft, yin Water energy phase called Hài δΊ₯. Even though the phase appears cool and quiet from the outside, a lot is going on beneath the surface. Dormancy is much more than a period of suspended animation; it is a survival mechanism that helps prepare the natural world for the year ahead.
When Daylight Saving ends on November 7 the sun will rise and set an hour earlier, reinforcing our awareness that winter is just around the corner. As temperatures drop, days shorten and metabolism slows, energy is both literally and metaphorically returning to the earth. Just like a plant, we also need to slow down and conserve, so we have enough energy for starting anew in 2022.
November’s tranquil Water influence is constructive—like a seed gathering energy to germinate and burst forth in the spring. This is the perfect time to gather our creativity and begin making moves toward positive changes that will lead to success in the upcoming year. Be careful though, because soft yin Water energy can be so calming that we may forget that the time to take action is now.
We can imagine that you like to know what the I Ching reveals about your element this season so check it out—it’s all right here! In the interim, we hope that you and your loved ones will be able to gather together and celebrate Thanksgiving this year, we wish you and yours the very best in this, the beginning of the holiday season.
Physical Health
The Fire energy network is connected to the heart. One Fire acupuncture point is called the Heavenly Window and it helps sort what is useful from that which is not. Sometimes mental pollution overwhelms us so we begin to view the world as negative and hopeless, a despair that can affect our physical health. Open the Heavenly Window, get into your body and out of your head. Live, love, exercise, dance, run, and play.
Emotional Health
Have fun regularly, even if you have to work at it. Make fun a priority—schedule your fun if that’s what it takes. Don’t compromise. Consider having fun as important to your well-being as anything else you do. Fire people have strong emotional expressions and experiences, and when Fire Element energy is channeled correctly and appropriately, it can bring you tremendous joy, success, and happiness.
Relationship Health
The energy of Fire supports and enriches your enjoyment of life, your relationships, getting close, and being receptive to others. You will have many chances to be open, to extend compassion, and to forgive. While we all need love, the sick need it most—not only the physically ill but those who are suffering in mind and spirit. By giving and sharing you build energy to bring your brightness and light to the world.
Financial Health
The Fire archetype must learn to be objective and analytical to make wise financial decisions since their strong emotions can color reality. It would be helpful for you to build leadership skills in order to help others fulfill their goals and dreams. Your special ability to motivate others can become the basis for your own financial health; your passion is your asset and your Fire helps you manifest material wealth.
Career Health
People with strong Fire energy are quite charismatic. You enjoy talking and socializing and you excel at commanding others to action. Like fire in nature, Fire personalities are warm so it is easy to understand why people feel close and connected to you. You will work tirelessly until you are burned out so it is important to set aside time to be outside and enjoy nature, to meditate, or simply to be still.
