The sense of unease and lack of control in the face of this volatility is palpable.

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.
Wood's energy can feel somewhat subdued this month, as the double Water element's influence can be overpowering. It's essential to adapt and maintain a flexible approach to navigate any challenges, and this period may be a time for reflection and introspection.

Physical vulnerabilities for you this month include the immune system, allergies, and liver and gallbladder-related conditions.
Tip: Watch out for the immune suppressive effects of emotional stress, leaving you susceptible to colds, flu, infections, and autoimmune inflammations. Support your immune system with medicinal mushrooms like reishi, lion's mane, and turkey tail in Natural Immunity Plus.
