NOVEMBER 2025: THE COURAGE TO FLOW FORWARD

“You must let life flow, not force it; for only in surrender does the deeper path reveal itself.”
— Lao Tzu

November opens with the Ding Hai (Fire Pig) month (November 7 – December 6), a time when Fire rests above Water — a gentle reminder that transformation continues not through intensity, but through movement. After the fierce illumination of October’s Fire Dog, this month shifts the journey into a more fluid space: change that remains productive, provided we allow ourselves to follow the current rather than control it.

This is also the month where the annual Snake directly clashes with the monthly Boar — an axis of Yang Water and Yang Fire, release, movement and awakening. It is this clash, more than anything, that invites us into flow. Not passive flow, but conscious fluidity: yielding where needed, softening where required, and recognising when the heart is asking to move ahead from transformation. Together, they create a push-and-pull that dissolves rigidity and keeps us moving.

At the same time, two frequencies run simultaneously through November. The current Wood Snake Yi Si (2025) and the incoming Fire Horse Bing Wu (2026) both press upon the collective, each holding a different energetic tone. Bing Wu surges through the first three weeks — igniting ideas, strengthening purpose, and heightening internal fire.

However, the year is not yet over. Yi Si continues to refine, prune, and clarify — asking us to shed the remnants that cannot cross into the Fire Horse year ahead. By the end of November, the initial surge of Bing Wu begins to soften, allowing the final couple of months of this year to finish-off.

Mercury Retrograde from November 9 to 29 is a significant undercurrent through the month. Instead of pulling us forward, it draws awareness inward — highlighting the unfinished layers of the Yi Si year. This is a transformational retrograde, one that loosens emotional residue, dissolves outgrown narratives and reveals attachments that are ready to fall away. It is a period of flow, not hesitation; a clearing of inner pathways so that the combustion of the year ahead is beneficial.

Alongside this internal shift, the months ahead also carry a deeper invitation to detach from what we have been unconsciously gripping. Old structures, outdated commitments, and the emotional weight of past cycles ripe for release.
The activation this month is strong — it supports detachment, making it easier to release what no longer belongs. If ever there was a time to be bold in letting go, it is now.

Rather than resisting, November encourages us to create space for new movement, new alignment, and new clarity to rise. This slow, steady unraveling is not disruption; it is preparation for the greater trajectory that awaits. This is not a month of standing still. It is a month of moving with life, allowing direction to reveal itself through flow rather than force.

“To change what is outside, you must first loosen what is within.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke, Poet

November softens the edges of October’s transformations, now shifting into deeper integration. The heart has time to settle, the mind has room to breathe, and the soul can finally absorb what recent months have pushed into action.

“And when you let go, you create space for what is waiting to arrive.”
— Eckhart Tolle, Teacher/Poet

October carried the heat of courage and transformation. We began the month with THE GATE OF FORGIVENESS on October 6 — an immersive session of breathwork, guided meditation, and sound work that helped many release - through forgiveness - the emotional density highlighted by September’s eclipse season.

From October 18 to November 1, our team embarked on THE SOUL’S JOURNEY TIBET — JOURNEY THROUGH HELLFIRE PART 2, a pilgrimage into the vast, ancient landscapes of Tibet where outer exploration and inner alchemy met in powerful synchronicity.

Throughout November, we will be offering more experiential workshops - breathwork sessions and TCM-related online classes designed to support your internal alignment ahead of 2026. Join us for The Threads of Release on Friday, November 21. As we traverse through the last few months of the Wood Snake Year, this is the final stretch for us to let go, release and lighten before 2026. If you want to work with the deep healing afforded by the Wood Snake and be ready for the Fire Horse, join us for this experiential workshop focussing on breath and release.

Toward the end of the month, we begin THE SOUL’S JOURNEY EGYPT — SPECIAL EDITION 2025, a deeply anticipated journey into sacred remembrance, ancient resonance and healing practices.

And as always, our Chinese New Year 2026 updates will continue across Soleil Trinity channels, preparing you for the awakening and boldness of the Fire Horse year ahead.

Let November guide you exactly where you are meant to be.
