November 8 individuals are blessed with extraordinary vitality—a quality manifested by their physical vigor, but also (and perhaps especially) by their remarkably imaginative and progressive minds. They are attracted by subjects so unusual that other, less receptive, people may reject them as too radical or threatening to the status quo.
Yet although those born on this day have original and curious turns of mind, their interests are rarely flighty or superficial. They support their search for knowledge with meticulous attention to detail. Their powers of concentration and courage pursuing their quests augur well for their success (although winning the recognition of their peers may take some time).
A happy domestic life and the support of those closest to them are important to grounding Novem- ber 8 people in emotional equilibrium. They are gen- erous, tolerant and invigorating friends and family members, although they may at times be moody. This tendency can lead to them becoming cut off from others, so they should take extra care not to iso- late themselves from friends and particularly family members.
Personally stimulated by intellectual discovery, November 8 people will flourish in any profession where they can meet their altruistic needs and retain autonomy of thought and action. Given the nature of their talents and inclinations, they have marked potential to become inspiring artists, writers, musi- cians, actors, or pioneering scientists, digital innova- tors and engineers.
