The month of November according to the lunar calendar and following BaZi Chinese Astrology, begins Wednesday November 8th on a day of the Snake.
The 3 Pillars for November 8th are Yin Metal Snake day / Yin Fire Pig month / Yin Wood Snake year:
Key Things to Know about November:
1) The Yin Metal Stem on the Day of the Snake flows down to nourish and create an emboldened Pig who is represented by Yang Water with a little Yang Wood, and then that Yang Water rushes up like a fire hose to offer nourishment to the Yin Wood which is trying to manage feeding the blazing Yang Fire of the Snake, that little bit of Yang Wood from the Pig is helpful. The Snake in the Day is lost in the flow of the elements, isolated. This is a smoldering, Scorpionic sinister vibe.
2) The Pig is the Enemy of the Snake and this is DOUBLED in this BaZi of the 8th. It is a full on battle. The direction of the Pig is North West near the North. The direction of the Snake is South East near the South. The enemy is at the gate, the congenial Pig and the intuitive Snake are conniving, and it is very hard to trust the outcome of any interaction where tension arises.
3) These Chinese Animals, I intuit will be in their fall or shadow. For the Pig, that means more anger, debauchery, excessive behaviors, and self-indulgence. It is very ego and very self-placating. For the Snake this is calculating, revenge, jealous, suspicious, and possessive. It is someone who is lurking in the shadows ready to strike.
4) The Pig is the hours of 9:00PM – 11:00PM, whereas the Snake is 9:00AM-11:00AM. These are the times in which radical, conflicted actions and behaviors are more likely to be aggravated and aroused from November 8th – December 8th
5) The Tarot Card for Scorpio season feels very fitting for this particular Piggy Month in opposition with the Snake. DEATH which is very dark, underground, hiding in the shadows, and deep cathartic transformational energy. As we near the last months of 2025, we are nearing the end of a tremendous year of letting go, setting down, and releasing. This month may feel like you are banging up against resistance, and fighting to cling to something that is being yanked out of your grip.
This is collective astrology, friend, so we would need to lay this over your own Bazi Astrology in order to get a personal forecast for you. Go over to the Astrology Page and order your reading with Lydia.
