The following descriptions reveal some of the characteristics of people who share a birthday—those who are born on November 5th of any year—based on various methods used in Astrology, Numerology, and Cartomancy. Note that both Astrology and Numerology reveal much more depth when a birth year, and in the case of the former, a birth time and place are included.
The rulers of your Sun in Scorpio are Pluto and Mars. You are intense, passionate, perceptive, and determined. Your need to know, combined with superb intuition, makes you an excellent detective. Secondary rulers of your decanate and quadrant signs are Neptune and Uranus. Neptune adds mystery, a colorful imagination, intuition, and creativity to the mix. Uranus adds a sometimes rebellious and willful spin to the personality.
You possess a rare balance between introspection and extroversion. You are able to look within for answers, and often do, yet reaching out to others and making social connections also comes fairly easily to you. You are quietly ambitious, and a strong sense that you will achieve can carry you far. You have an aptitude for the written word and/or you are able to charm others through your words. You are more adaptable than most Scorpios, yet you are determined in whatever ignites your passions. You perhaps appear to be more versatile than you actually are. You possess your own unique vision, and you are not a conformist. Driven by a quiet sense of a personal mission, if you follow your intuition, success is almost guaranteed.
Scorpio the Scorpion
Scorpio the Scorpion
Scorpio is determined, strong, intense, and often controlled. Anything that is superficial doesn’t appeal to the scorpion. It’s all or nothing! Scorpio is never content to look only at the surface of matters. Scorpio digs deep, questions motives, and instinctively feels what is going on in the environment around him or her.
Scorpio, the scorpion: Planet: Pluto and Mars; Element: Water; Quality: Fixed; Color: Burgundy; Day: Tuesday; Stone: Topaz; Part of Body Ruled: Genitals; Motto: I control; Energy: Yin
Sun Conjunct Alphecca
This fixed star has a Venus-Mercury influence, and suggests much artistic ability. You may think in poetic terms, or enjoy a healthy “play on words”. This influence may suggest a real love of pleasure and some excesses. Scandal may be an issue at some point in life, but if it occurs, it doesn’t point to a reversal in position. The mind is active, creative, and even brilliant. You believe in your ability to achieve, and you do so quietly.
| We carry our Sun sign with us throughout our entire lives. If I’m a Scorpio, I’ll always be a Scorpio. However, in secondary progressions, the Sun “progresses” in a symbolic sense through our natal Sun sign, and then beyond it to subsequent signs. Secondary progressions are “a day for a year”, and because the Sun moves just under one degree per day, our Sun symbolically progresses just short of one degree every year of our lives. Because there are 30 degrees for every sign, if I was born in the latter days of a Scorpio Sun, my Sun would progress to the sign of Sagittarius in my early childhood, and to the sign of Capricorn in my early to mid-30’s. If I was born near the beginning of a Scorpio Sun, however, my progressed Sun would enter Sagittarius close to my 30th birthday, and to Capricorn in my late 50’s. The changeover of signs marks a critical turning point in a person’s life. At the very end of a sign (just before changing signs), individuals may make life-changing, impulsive decisions. |
Your progressed Sun enters Sagittarius at age 17. The ages of 16 to 18 mark a critical turning point in the development of your personality. After some sort of crisis of consciousness, and perhaps elimination of circumstances that have been limiting your growth, you begin to feel lighter, freer, and decidedly more outgoing. Your desire to learn increases, and your sense of humor is enriched. You are more flexible during this period as well.
Your progressed Sun enters Capricorn at age 46. The ages of 45 to 47 mark a critical turning point in the development of your personality. You become more practical, mindful, and concerned about your personal security. You are a self-starter, and you become more shrewd and focused on your goals.
Sabian Symbol:
Sabian symbols present imagery associated with the degree of your Sun in Scorpio. Either of the following may apply, depending on the exact degree of your Sun: If Sun is 12-13 degrees Scorpio: “An Inventor Performs A Laboratory Experiment” If Sun is 13-14 degrees Scorpio: “Telephone Lineman At Work Installing New Connections” | Harmonic Degree Meaning:The following is the degree meaning of your Sun (13 degrees Scorpio) based on harmonic sign influences.* “Instinctive, dynamic, self-reliant, magnetic. A hard worker; likes to get right into the work and dislikes idle talk. Pioneering spirit.” |
You were born on the 5th day of the month. Your ability to adapt rather swiftly to any given situation is a strength. You possess a love of freedom, and you generally make connections with others easily. Factoring in the 11th month of November, you are a number 7. Your imagination is vivid, and your ability to size up any situation in the blink of an eye helps you throughout life. Close personal relationships, however, may be rocky at times, as you tend to expect much on spiritual and emotional levels. You may feel misunderstood by those closest to you. Factoring in your birth year gives you your Birth Path Number—a highly personal number for you.
Most Favorable Days of the Month (according to Numerology) are 5, 14, 23, especially when these days (of any month) fall on Wednesday or Friday (in that order); and/or when the Sun is in Virgo or Gemini. The best colors for you are light grey, silver, white, and anything that glistens or shimmers. Avoid dark colors. You might want to wear diamonds or any shiny jewels/stones next to your skin.
2009 is a Number Nine year for you. Ruled by Mars. This is a year of completion and transition. It is a time when we need to let go of things that no longer serve their purpose, and hold on to things that have a future. It is a time of cleaning out dead wood, not necessarily for new beginnings. It can be a time when a burden has been taken off your shoulders, and it can be a year of giving of yourself. Advice – let go of things that are holding you back, give of yourself and express your sympathetic, compassionate side.
2010 is a Number One year for you. Ruled by the Sun. This is a year of action. The seeds you plant now, you will reap later. Others might find you less sociable, as you are busier than ever and you focus on your activities and your needs. Still, you are outgoing and your initiative is stronger than ever. Advice – Stand alone, take action, start fresh, express independence.
