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.

Metal can coexist well with the Water energy of November, as it values structure and organization. This period is suitable for planning, setting long-term goals, and focusing on personal development, provided it doesn't become overly rigid.
Physical Health
Metal individuals are associated with the lungs, which play a crucial role in the immune system. To maintain good physical health, pay attention to your respiratory health. You may be particularly vulnerable to colds, flu, breathing issues, allergies, sinus conditions, fatigue, and skin problems.
Tip: Avoid exposure to pollutants and irritants, particularly mold spores, as they can lodge in your lungs and cause chronic inflammation. Practice deep breathing exercises daily, like six healing sounds that expand the diaphragm and the lungs, and use sound frequency to open and unblock your energy meridians. Avoid dairy, sugar, gluten, and mucus-inducing foods and opt for cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower with sulforaphane that reduces inflammation and inhibits, or take DIM, which is an extract from the likes of broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage. Try Quercetin to reduce inflammation and allergy reactions.
Emotional Health
This month can be emotionally taxing for Metal individuals as you are known for being organized, analytical, and composed. Water energy challenges your desire for order and structure.
Tip: The opportunity for self-reflection and contemplation is inherent in this month’s energy as it’s conducive to intuition experiences and spiritual explorations. This is an excellent time for delving into spiritual studies or deepening your connection to a higher consciousness. Read my father and my latest book, Evergreen Life, to explore flexibility and adaptability to help you navigate the emotional nuances of this period with grace.
Relationship Health
Your preference for independence and personal space may send the wrong message to others.
Tip: It's important to strike a balance between togetherness and individuality in romantic relationships, ensuring that both you and your partner have the emotional space you both need. It’s good to leverage your ability to balance emotions with logic to create harmonious and empathetic connections with others during this emotionally charged period.
Financial Health
Emotional spending may be harder to resist as the year-end holidays approach.
Tip: Be mindful of your budget and spending habits, set up an emergency fund, and aim for a balance between emotional fulfillment and financial responsibility, ensuring your financial well-being remains intact. Approach investments and financial planning with caution and precision.
Career Health
This month may prompt you, the Metal individuals, to assess your career satisfaction and whether your current path aligns with your deeper emotional needs and aspirations.
Tip: It’s a good time to leverage your emotional intelligence, logical thinking, and empathy to create harmonious work relationships, foster teamwork, and make career decisions that align with your emotional well-being.
