Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires faith in yourself. You must be able to sustain staggering blows and unfair reversals. November 9 understands early there is no reliable code for beginners, only that you know your strong cards. And don't play the juvenile lead, invariably misused.
Many creatures born today, with moderate talent, but with great inner drive will go farther than people with vastly superior talent. This inner drive is itself a talent, something you are born with and which no one can teach you to acquire. There are two things which November 9 must learn straight away. The first is to value this drive. Let no one persuade you to downgrade it in your secret psycheology. And the second is to respect other people's greater talent, even if they are less successful than you, and learn how to promote it and them.
Truly self-confident people surround themselves with talent. Its marvellous light will illuminate your own success and you can be the vehicle for a shyer man's or woman's genius.
November 9 make great agents and impresarios as well as performers, not simply in the theatre and entertaining but in every walk of life. Both sexes are self-confident, generous towards others, both privately and publicly. They don't patronise. They do see the flatterer coming, but understanding why the flattery is there, don't harm. To some will come fame. To many, recognition and, of course, money.
Some use their drive away from the work place. They enjoy the patriarchal or matriarchal role, founding dynasties, looking after relatives and friends. Theirs is usually the house where everybody meets to discuss a mutual interest or hobby fired by November 9's enthusiasm. Whether it be trainspotting, sport, history, music or politics, people born on this day and their families will never be isolated and their long life is mentally vigorous, packed with new thoughts and experiences until the day they choose to retire to heaven.
The complex, emotional individuals born on this date are highly sexed and exceedingly romantic. Because relationships are all-important to you, intimacy plays a huge role in your life. However, your romantic alliances are likely to be as turbulent as they are intense. You’ll display a poignant vulnerability one moment and then become jealous, possessive, and demanding the next. Your kind heart and caring nature can give some people the mistaken idea that you’re an easy target for an unscrupulous lover. What they do not realize is that you possess Scorpio’s uncanny ability to spot a phony at ten paces.
You have an intuitive sense of the best way to arouse and enchant your lover. Innately creative and deeply romantic, you’re capable of devising a sufficient number of exotic delights to keep any partner satisfied in bed. You have a chameleonlike talent for the dramatic that allows you to assume various roles as you act out your own and your mate’s favorite erotic fantasies.
Sharing sensual pleasures together sparks your desires and spurs you on to more passionate lovemaking.
Hayfever-type allergies may have many causes, in particular high pollution levels in the air. Cigarette smoke provokes allergic reactions in some people, as does pollen and house mites which live in our beds, carpets, soft furnishings and soft toys. Dust control can reduce the number of house dust mites but won't get rid of them completely. It may help to replace bedroom carpet with vinyl flooring, keep pets out and damp-dust once a week. Wash bed linen at 60°C once a week, and put soft toys in the freezer once a fortnight -dust mites can't survive extremes of temperature.
You are more romantic than other members of your Sun sign, and you get off on kitschy little touches like candlelight, soft music, and glamorous surroundings for your amorous encounters. Taking a bubble bath or soapy shower with your lover turns you on. Erotic foreplay with aromatic massage oils can add a touch of spice to your lovemaking.

You project a dreamlike aura of sensitivity that tempers the natural intensity of your Scorpio nature but doesn’t prevent you from taking assertive action when you deem it necessary. On one level you’re a shrewd go-getter and determined to further your own interests, yet on another level you’re a compassionate crusader for the rights of the disenfranchised.
