Feng Shui and Chinese Astrology Forecast: November 2022
The month of the Metal Pig arrives on November 7th. Winter's here according to the solar calendar! Expect a fast-moving month ahead as the Pig and bestie the Tiger, both travel stars, will be present together through the month from now to December 6. In the Feng Shui Flying Star chart, the combination of monthly star 2 of illness and the annual star 5 of misfortune in the center indicates the need to be cautious.
Winter is a season ruled by Water element, which represents communication, wisdom, and the emotion fear. With fear a dominating theme of the month, keep your frequency high by staying positive, while addressing your fear by taking actions that pave the way for the most positive outcome. Soak in some sunshine and cook your food to help keep the inner Fire strong. Hearty soups and stews are most comforting and grounding to the body in this Yin season.
Yin Metal in the month's heavenly frequency, like a mirror, encourages self-reflection and a higher level of self-awareness. Metal, whether Yin or Yang, is by nature cold and sharp, and Yin Metal is the more delicate, analytical, and calculating of the two. This is an ideal month to assess your strengths and weaknesses. Associated with planet Venus, Metal, especially the Yin, is also the element of beauty, charm, and luxury. Play up your strengths and make them sparkle! Allow your best self to shine! The Yin attracts - pull instead of pushes.
November is one of those months that always seem to come and go very quickly - such is the fast-paced nature of the Pig as one of the four travel stars in Chinese Astrology. In this year of the Tiger, another travel star, the month will fly by even quicker, especially for those with the Pig as their travel star (those born in the year or day of the Snake, the Ox, and the Bird/Rooster), and those with the Tiger as their travel star (those born in the year or day of the Monkey, the Rat, or the Dragon). Be mindful of your surroundings as many of us will be traveling near and far or rushing to get from one place to another.
Those born in the year or the month of the Snake, the sign opposite the Pig, need to take extra precautions this month, especially when traveling or on the move. If you have a Pig in your birth chart, practice higher self-awareness and self-compassion as the Pig month can trigger the self-punishment penalty, which usually manifests as self-sabotaging behaviors. Recognize when your fears and self-doubts stop you from moving forward.
If your birthday takes place during this month, then you were born in the month of the Pig (which encompasses 15° Scorpio - 14°59 Sagittarius). You will most likely enjoy and thrive in the fast pace as the Sun, Mercury, and Venus will go through those degrees, giving you a boost in energy and increasing your communication and social activities. Those born in the month of the Snake (which encompasses 15° Taurus - 14°59 Gemini) can also expect a very hectic month, though they will need to remember to take frequent breaks to recuperate, with the Sun, Mercury, and Venus opposing their zodiac signs.
Signs that are in harmony with the Pig are secret friend the Tiger and allies the Sheep and the Rabbit. Those with these signs in their birth chart can generally expect a smoother, collaborative month ahead, although keep in mind that the Pig may also clash with other animal signs in the chart.
Those born in a year or day with Fire element in the heavenly frequency will be blessed with divine support as the Pig is their nobility star, bringing help and assistance from the universe when needed - a good month for consultations or coaching sessions. *Years with Fire element in the heavenly frequency are those that end with 6 and 7, such as 1986, 1987, 1996, 1997.
NOVEMBER 2022 FENG SHUI
In the Flying Star chart for November 2022 above, the numbers in green are the annual stars for the current year (good until February 3, 2023), while the numbers in blue refer to November 2022’s monthly stars (good from November 7 to December 6, 2022).
The various meanings associated with the flying star, its trigram, and its element at the center can provide us with divine guidance for the specific period. With monthly star 2 of illness, associated with Kun, the Earth trigram, in the center, keep yourself healthy by getting enough rest and maintaining a healthy and active regimen. The combination of monthly star 2 and annual star 5 in the center, both Earth element stars, points to a volatile, unstable month ahead. Stay vigilant and avoid high risk activities.
Keep the center of your office or residence clean, tidy, and free of loud noises and bright colors to avoid activating the 2/5 stars. The Northeast, East, and West sectors should also be kept as quiet as possible. Reinforce all doors and windows located in the North, visited by monthly 7, and the West, where the annual 7 is.
The most productive sectors in November are the Southwest, visited by monthly star 8 of prosperity, the South, visited by monthly star 6 of power, and the Southeast, blessed with monthly star 1 of wisdom. Spend more time in these sectors to activate the positive stars.
