Perhaps the most pronounced characteristic of November 3 personalities is that of driving ambition. And because they possess a straightforward turn of mind and a remarkable talent for organization, many will have formulated their life plans as early as childhood. The nature of their goals will vary from one person to another: some may be concerned primarily with personal betterment (in terms of their social or financial status, for example); while others may seek to make a contribution to the world.
Whatever their underlying motivations, Novem- ber 3 individuals will always reveal their progressive instincts, as well as the mental and physical vigor, courage and tenacity to promote their aims regard- less of the consequences (to themselves or others). These characteristics that are especially notable in those born in the Chinese year of the dragon. Indeed, they relish testing their skills and stamina against demanding challenges.
Despite the overriding importance that they place on the attainment of their self-set goals—a prerequi- site that may cause them to act independently of the common consensus—November 3 people generally prefer to elicit the support of allies rather than the enmity of foes. They are often drawn to professions that provide an effective forum in which to exert their influence on those around them—as educators or entertainers, for instance. However, their forceful and uncompromising approach may have an alienat- ing effect on those around them.
