November 2023: Month of the Yin Water Pig
The Pig Month (Nov 8 - Dec 6) is the 10th month of the Year of the Rabbit, and the 11th animal of the Chinese Zodiac. While Western culture tends to view pigs negatively, Asian cultures revere the Pig as a noble animal that brings prosperity.
The Pig Month, a water element, marks the beginning of winter. The Yin water of the Pig combined with the yin water of the month’s stem speaks of the deepest water of underlying currents. So, while there may not be the energy of “rapid water” this month, there are definitely some goings-on at a deeper level. The emotion connected with water is fear, so there is likely to be some deep undercurrent of fear being generated by the events on the world stage. The Pig sits in the Northwest sector, which is ruled by Yang Metal. This Metal will feed the energy of the Water elements.
The Clash this month is with the Snake, which sits opposite the Pig. Also, if you have Yin Wood in your chart you will be in a Clash. Clashes can produce obstacles and changes. This can manifest in pivotal life changes or just an opportunity to see things from a different point of view. Be mindful to avoid making rash decisions without thinking things through and don’t allow a setback or two to block your progress. It’s a good month to be very thorough and deliberate, allowing extra time and thought before taking a leap of importance.
If you have Fire (Yin or Yang) in your chart or if your birth year ends with a 6 or 7, Pig is your Nobleman. That means there will be helpful people available so don’t be afraid to reach out when you are in need of a helping hand, a healer, or a mentor.
If you have Pig in your chart, this is a Self-Penalty month for you. Be aware that you might suffer from self-sabotaging behaviors and self-doubt and take the appropriate actions against giving into this.
FENG SHUI
This month is ruled by the benevolent 8 White Star in the center sector, providing the overall energy of every building with a little boost of prosperity and benevolence. However, there is a clash of energy with the Wood Annual Star that can present tension or speed bumps along the way, so be mindful of that.
Illness and malicious energy rule the Northeast and Southwest, so it’s best to avoid these sectors, especially when it comes to matters of health, relationships, finances, and career.
The Southeast and South sectors will host some very aggressive energy and it’s best to avoid these sectors. Keep the Southeast sector secure since the presence of Fighting Swords can bring robbery and losses. Avoid conversations and communications in the South that could escalate into arguments or even lawsuits.
The West and North are the most supportive sectors of your home or office/business this month and you would do well to limit all important activities to these sectors.
