Sun Sign: Scorpio/Pluto
Decanate: Scorpio/Pluto; Numbers: 1, 3
You see them in the sky, shooting across its dark reaches, straight and assured. There's usually a lot of money riding on November l's enterprises, but there's no re-entry problem with this cute character and it always finishes the job trailing glory and financial success for itself and companions. Money comes early to this person. But if it doesn't come early, it will come just a little later.
November 1 has no problems with money, either emotional or practical. Scorpios are controllers and planners. And November One is intent on being Number One. Except in unusual circumstances, they don't lose the money, but make it grow and spend it on fun.
This individual truly has a taste for grandeur, big houses, flash cars, rolling stripy lawns cared for by an expert gardener. At the vast end of fortune, there's a Picasso in the drawing-room and William Morris tapestries in the bedroom. And a Wendy house in the garden, complete with electric lighting and a porcelain dolls' tea service. Both sexes sometimes give big parties for some people they don't know, and when it gets this lavish, November 1 will be unhappy. But they always have someone they love, who loves them back to turn to.
Ruled by tough Mars and intellectual Pluto, Scorpio is a sexy beast, but not a wanderer. Except in the mind, when quite astonishing fantasies may be occurring about their immediate companions. They like sexy books, films and magazines too. And some may collect very rude art. It all adds up to an exciting, stable relationship, although there is a tendency for this space traveller to try to confine its lover to the home and smother them with possessiveness.
The downside to such giants among men and women is that neither sex can really tolerate the pygmies. They can't easily understand why everybody doesn't achieve their level of success, and judging those who don't as creeps, may behave with irritating arrogance.
Your charm and magnetic personality make you a much-sought-after romantic partner. In an intimate union, you are loving and passionate but also demanding and not easily pleased. Basically independent and self-contained, you probably have relatively few really close friends. Because you prefer committed relationships to casual ones, your romances tend to be serious and long lasting. As a member of one of the most passionate Sun signs, you’re a strongly sexed, somewhat controlling lover. Nevertheless, you’re intensely loyal, and when you allow yourself to get deeply involved with someone you make a steadfast, loving, and reliable mate.
Few can match either your amazing sexual prowess or your powerful intensity in the bedroom. For you, love and sex need to be “all or nothing.”
Once aroused, your lusty libido shoots off fiery sparks of desire. Typically, your unflagging physical stamina leads to long nights (and days) of thrilling lovemaking. Your ideal bed partner is capable of matching your reckless abandon. The lover who cannot equal your sexual vigor may end up out in the cold.
Protective, possessive November 1 adores his/her children and must look to their safety in the garden. Many plants are harmful if small children stuff them into their mouths. Discourage them from doing this with anything, until properly taught the many plants which are safe. What isn't safe: foxglove, ivy, laburnum, leyland cypress, giant hogweed, mistletoe, horse chestnut, wild privet, rosy periwinkle, umbrella tree, daffodil, narcissus, hyacinth, tulip bulbs, monkshood (aconitumj, cut flowers. Lily-of-the-valley, lupins, rue, yew, spurges (euphorbia, autumn crocus, cherry laurel, oleander, angels' trumpets and leopard lily. And of course, woody and deadly nightshade, and hemlock.
Since you are considerably more sexy and passionate than romantic, it takes lots of stimulation and excitement to really turn you on. You yearn for an enthusiastic bed partner who is willing to try just about anything that pleases you both. A playful romp in bed releases pent-up aggressions and puts you in the mood for even more potent loving.
For Christmas orpartytime, create shell candles which look beautiful in groups. Collect shells with flatfish bases from a beach, or buy non-endangered ones. Fix wick to base of shell with florists' putty and pour wax in shell. Leave to cool.
Your great strength lies in your ability to combine stealth and strategy with your immense physical vitality. However, you have little patience with those who don’t catch on as quickly and completely as you. Once you get going on something, nothing can stop you, and you tend to resent anyone who can’t keep up.
