Enterprising realist
Inspired and idealistic, with a need to be creative and enterprising, you are a Scorpio who wants to be practical and down to earth. As a discerning individual with insight and determination, you are versatile, with natural business acumen. Often you intuitively know the answer to other people’s problems. Astute and perceptive, with unique ideas, you can present a fresh and unusual point of view that has practical value and is elegant in its simplicity.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Pisces, adds to your receptivity and implies that you can absorb the atmosphere around you. This influence also suggests that although you are imaginative, you can be prone to indecision and misunderstanding. A positive attitude, therefore, is essential to your well-being. By avoiding pessimism, you can focus your attention on matters at hand rather than scatter and diffuse your energies through nervous haste.

Nevertheless, your inspirational ideas, bright outlook, and communication skills frequently give you the edge when the call is for originality. You are a perfectionist, and your thoroughness or concentration enables you to pick up on ideas and methods very quickly.

The conjunction of their logical minds and independence of thought endows those born on this day with perceptive and progressive intellects that give them the ability both to pinpoint areas ripe for improvement and to formulate strategies for advancement. Fueled by the urge to share the conclusions that result from their analytical and conceptual skills, November 4 people are not content to keep their opinions to themselves. They always try to enlighten others and help them to advance. They show their communication skills in every area of their lives, and such is their talent for putting their messages across that people will rarely be left in the dark. Indeed, many of those born on this day are drawn to careers where they can reach the widest possible public—as actors or performers on stage and screen; writers, journalists and artists, or as politicians or social reformers. And because their typical approach is based on a mixture of strong convictions laced with a dash of humor, others generally respond positively to them, even if their viewpoints are sometimes not very palatable.
Indeed, such is the respect and affection that
November 4 individuals engender that they may often find themselves elevated to positions of leadership— somewhat to their surprise (although not necessar- ily their displeasure)—and because they are socially responsible types they will discharge their duties with integrity. Yet in many respects these people would pre- fer to be left to their own devices in order to pursue their intellectual interests free from the demands of others and to enjoy the enriching pleasures of domes- tic life and fulfilling interpersonal relationships, from which they derive such support and satisfaction.
