Those born on this day have two pronounced sides to their personalities: their feeling of connection with the people around them; and their individual interests, which they like to pursue undisturbed by the demands of others. The influence of these two tendencies may cause November 5 people to feel torn between their desire to help others—whether this be at the familial, communal, or global level—and their more selfish urge to shut themselves away to be able to concentrate on pursuits they love. Many, however, are fortunate enough to be able to reconcile these predilections, often by choosing careers where they can retain their autonomy while sharing their findings with a broader audience, thereby making a positive contribution to the lives of others. The scientific and business realms, as well as such artistic specialties as writing and acting can thus be said to provide ideal professional arenas for their inclinations and skills.
November 5 individuals are intellectually curious and progressive types, who prefer to seek out knowl- edge for themselves rather than to be spoon-fed with it. Drawing on their highly developed powers of per- ception to amass a fund of information, they have the capacity to identify existing failings or abuses and then prepare logical and realistic proposals with which to bring about advancement; they thus possess real leadership ability. Yet although the honest expression of their criticism may be inherently uncomfortable to those who wish to maintain the status quo, these people’s evident goodwill and earnest desire to bring about tangible advances usually make them subjects of admiration and especially valued friends, partners and parents.
