By day November 16 works methodically hard, and has a conventional image which belies the glossiness of the night creature who goes out on the town to conquer. In youth, both sexes live for fun and romance, regarding the day job as there to finance what good times happen to this star under a friendly nocturnal sky. A walk in the moonlight, a talk in the moonlight and maybe even a tumble in the moonlight is what November 16 aims to get. And, dressed to kill, they do. Those who share an office with ordinary-seeming November 16 might fail to recognise their colleague as the succulent and sensuous Moonlight Tomata every night-clubbing guy or dame wants a slice of.
Both sexes may know how to have fun, but they have a deep psycheology and their goal is not so much fun as self-realisation. Ambition is one preoccupation. Personal happiness and security another. On a more complex level November 16 wants to resolve feelings about why we are here. This may involve religion. Or the study of history and psychology. Or perhaps a decision to live in the countryside and commune with nature. Whatever is chosen, it's certain that by mid life, this creature will have developed an overview of how life should be lived, which they probably want others, in particular children, to adopt.
Be alert here. Children and partners don't necessarily like these and there may be trouble ahead, unless November 16 keeps extremely flexible.
There's a natural talent here for modern technology which brings mountains of money, and employment where bosses court these people, particularly because they have oodles and snoodles of charm and a nice way of explaining technology to less confident people. All this fits in well with the quest for life's meaning, because work can be set up at home. Redundancy is a plus factor here and probably brings great happiness.
Even though love plays a major role in your life, intimate relationships can be difficult for you. Your emotional nature is so complex that your romantic life is often as turbulent as it is passionate and intense. You may display a poignant vulnerability one moment and then become possessive, jealous, and demanding the next. Because you function better in an individual capacity, sometimes you’d rather be on your own than subjected to another person’s whims. In an intimate union you’re perfectly capable of pledging deep, long-lasting affection, but only to someone who accepts your moodiness and occasional wish for solitude.
You have your own way of doing things, and even your soul mate may have problems understanding your feelings and motivations. Although your devilish charm virtually guarantees your success as a suitor, there are times when you pull back and retreat behind a wall of your own making. Your ideal partner realizes you’re worth the wait and gives you some breathing room. When you get started, you are an agile lover with a strong sex drive and the stamina and expertise to make the most of it.
People born today like swimming in natural water. Check pollution levels on the coast, lakes and lochs, and in particular, the rivers. Scientists say that toxins produced by blue-green algae in dozens of Britain's rivers and reservoirs can pose a high risk to swimmers and windsurfers as outbreaks of seasonal algal blooms begin to reach record levels. Britain's new Environmental Agency has no powers to force landowners to put up warning notices even at popular swimming or paddling spots. Last year rivers affected included the Great Ouse in the east Midlands, the Tamar in southwest England and the Ash, a tributary of the Thames.
The bedmate who truly thrills you is the one who keeps going when others are starting to wind down. The physical release of an occasional all-nighter with wild, tempestuous lovemaking can make you feel reborn. With an uninhibited lover, you are able to act out your most exotic fantasies or explore new and innovative erotic activities.

The quintessential Scorpio struggle is one of attaining mastery over desire.
Despite the scorpion’s reputation for smoldering sexuality, you are usually able to sublimate your physical needs if it suits your purposes. As a result, you may alternate between some periods of intense sexual activity and others of total abstinence.
