November 19

Creativity and emotional sensitivity are often part of your personal charm. Idealistic and forceful, with an inquisitive mind, you are a Scorpio with a love of knowledge that can urge you to be daring and original. As a progressive thinker with an innovative mind, you are often interested in social and educational reforms or are constantly seeking new and exciting ideas.


The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Cancer, implies that you are imaginative, curious, and receptive. Since you are intellectually bright and versatile, you may explore different options before you decide where your true talents lie. The mental restlessness that is often associated with your birthday suggests that you can easily become bored when you lack mental stimulation and are, as a consequence, apt to scatter your energies on trivial pursuits.


With your artistic talents and desire for knowledge, you often gather information and develop good communication skills that can include a natural flair for writing. Your pragmatic approach and sharp intellect imply that you are confident and a good analyst of people and what motivates them. With your personal touch, you have the talent for making people feel special and important. Agreeable and diplomatic, you can be friendly and stimulating company, though when moody you may appear unfeeling or disinterested.


While you are between the ages of three and thirty-two, your progressed Sun is in Sagittarius, emphasizing issues of positive idealism, expansion, and opportunity. This period is good for study, travel, or an overall sense of freedom. At age thirty-three, when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn, you reach a turning point as you start to take a more disciplined, structured, and realistic approach to life. From the age of sixty-three, when your progressed Sun enters Aquarius, you begin to place more emphasis on humanitarian ideals, independence, and friendship.


Your Secret Self

A hidden longing for love and peace may have you searching for a pure love or idealistic cause, but it is important that you are always aware of equality. Seemingly independent, you are wise enough to realize that you cannot go it alone. Partnerships, teamwork, or cooperative efforts can therefore play an especially important role in your life. Unless you ensure that you do not compromise too much of yourself in all your relationships, there is a danger of disappointment or emotional lows.


With your intense emotional sensitivity, you may need to balance the emotional extremes of your nature. Dynamic and dramatic, you are likely to find that people are naturally drawn to you because of your intelligence. As well as having a sharp mind, you can also be warm, loving, and understanding. This can lead to your becoming a leader, advisor, or protector of others.


Work & Vocation

With your leadership abilities, social skills, and keen intelligence, you can excel in almost any career. Being hardworking and interested in money issues, you may be drawn to business, where you prefer large projects and the freedom to work in your own way. Travel or variety may play a part in your work options. As you enjoy working for a cause, you can be drawn to social reform or may be a good promoter or spokesperson. Highly persuasive, you have verbal skills that may serve you well in media, politics, or law. Equally, you could succeed in sales, public relations, or advisory positions. Sharing all your knowledge and expertise can extend to being a lecturer or counsellor.


Numerology

Dynamic, ambitious, and humanitarian are some of the characteristics associated with the number 19 birthday. Decisive and resourceful, you possess depth of vision, but the dreamer side of your nature is compassionate, idealistic, and creative. Although you are sensitive, the need to be someone may be the very thing that pushes you to be dramatic and claim center stage. Often there is a strong desire to establish an individual identity. To do so, you may first need to overcome the influence of peer group pressure. To others, you may appear confident, resilient, and resourceful, but inner tensions may cause emotional ups and downs. Artistic and charismatic, you will find that the world is there for you to explore. The subinfluence of the number 11 month indicates that you are highly intuitive, with powerful emotions. With your insight, you can often be a visionary, but you may have to learn to communicate your thoughts and feelings in an open way. As a multitalented individual, you have good reasoning powers, but avoid being impatient or worried. Often you need to overcome restrictions and challenges before you find peace and harmony.


Positive: dynamic, centered, creative, leader, lucky, progressive, optimistic, strong convictions, competitive, independent, gregarious

Negative: self-centered, depressive, worry, fear of rejection, ups and downs, materialistic, egotistical, impatient


Love & Relationships

Practical and charismatic, you have an alluring and friendly personality. With your diplomatic skills, you are able to harmonize tense situations and relationships. You prefer active and aware people who have succeeded as a result of their own efforts. As you are emotionally intense, guard against coming on too strong and being possessive. You are often willing to work hard to achieve success in your relationships, and you make a loyal partner or friend.

November 20

Charismatic and intuitive, you are a friendly Scorpio with a winning smile and powerful emotions. Although usually a forceful character with a dynamic personality, you are kind and generous and, at times, surprisingly modest. You may need to overcome a tendency to be fixed and learn to let go of your controlled emotions. Ambitious and dramatic, with sensitivity and quick responses, you have the potential for outstanding creative achievement.


The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Cancer, suggests that you are imaginative and like to be surrounded by quality and luxury. Gregarious and fun-loving, you can also be a diplomat when it is in your own interest. Although you are sensitive and guided by your feelings, a practical and hardworking nature suggests that only self-discipline is required in order to make the most of your many wonderful talents.


If inspired, you may need to express yourself in a creative way and seek recognition through the worlds of theater, art, music, and entertainment. Success can be achieved through determination and hard work. You may nevertheless need to overcome a tendency to be impatient, manipulative, or too domineering and develop your strategy and planning skills. Through collaboration and cooperative efforts you usually make your greatest contribution to your community or society.


Until you reach the age of thirty-one, your progressed Sun is in Sagittarius, encouraging you to move forward in life optimistically, searching for opportunities. You may feel adventurous and willing to take chances, have an interest in education, or feel drawn to foreign people or places. At age thirty-two, when your progressed Sun advances into Capricorn, you reach a turning point as you start to take a more practical, ambitious, and realistic approach to life, seeking order and structure. From the age of sixty-two, when your progressed Sun enters Aquarius, you begin to increase your powers of observation and become more experimental, independent, or group-conscious.


Your Secret Self

Through self-analysis and humour you are able to balance the emotional extremes of your nature. Generous yet selfish, hardworking yet indulgent, tough yet sensitive, you can be an interesting mixture of opposites. Sociable and an expert at personal contact, your charm and your shrewd judgment of character can help you in all situations. Since you are often unhappy if alone, companionship is very important to you, and you will often compromise for peace. You may have to watch, however, that your love of sensuality and comfort does not deter you from the dynamic expression of your great potential.


Your strong intuition can be a great help in your own life and also in developing the more humanitarian and compassionate side of your nature. When operating positively, it enables you to be detached and self-assured and avoid falling into frustration or disappointment.


Primary Star's Influence

Bungula bestows a passionate yet refined nature and beneficial social contacts. If you seek help, this star grants friends who will assist you when you need help most. It also imparts opportunities and positions of honor or power Bungula nevertheless warns against extremist behaviour and a fatalistic attitude.

Positive: self-reliant, learn to share, generosity, popularity

Negative: overly sensitive, falling out with other people, alienating yourself from othersWork & Vocation

With the combination of your leadership abilities and emotional sensitivity, you will naturally rise to positions of power. Possessing charm and advanced social skills, you are likely to succeed in any people-related activity. Your communication skills may draw you toward occupations such as teacher, lecturer, writer, or salesperson. Your ability to make useful contacts can help you in business, especially combined with your ability to commercialize your talents. Alternatively, your natural dramatic sense can help you succeed in politics, the entertainment world, or the arts. On the other hand, your humanitarian inclinations may direct you toward a career in social reform or working for a cause.


Numerology

With a number 20 birthday, you are intuitive, sensitive, adaptable, and understanding, and often see yourself as a part of a larger group. Usually you enjoy cooperative activities where you can interact, share experiences, or learn from others. Charming and gracious, you develop diplomatic and social skills and can move in different social circles with ease. You may, however, need to develop your confidence, overcome a tendency to be easily hurt by the actions and criticism of others, or avoid a tendency to become overly dependent. You are a master at creating a congenial and harmonious atmosphere. The subinfluence of the number 11 month indicates that you usually appear self-assured and practical, but inwardly you can possess deep feelings and are highly intuitive. Although you have a kind and gentle heart that can be generous and loyal, you can also be stubborn and suspicious. By learning to balance the extreme sides of your nature, you can create stability and order.


Positive: good partnerships, gentle, tactful, receptive, intuitive, considerate, harmonious, agreeable, amicable, ambassador of goodwill

Negative: suspicious, lack of confidence, oversensitive, emotional, selfish, easily hurt, dishonest

Born on a cusp, you are influenced by both Scorpio and Sagittarius. Elegant and sociable, with an enterprising personality, you are a charming individual who can display a confident and assured image. With an abundance of feelings, sensitivity, and imagination, you are usually subtle and poised, yet a passionate side to your nature suggests that you are also determined and dramatic.


The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Cancer, implies that you are intuitive and discerning, with strong premonitions. Usually you judge situations and experiences by the way you feel, and your emotional range can include great creativity, self-expression, or compassion and understanding. These usually win you the love and admiration you seek from others. If, on the other hand, you fail to get your own way, you can react too emotionally or become temperamental.


Ambitious, with enthusiasm and a strong sense of vision, you are dedicated and hardworking. Inspired by ideas, you seek ways to express yourself and find it easier to take the lead. This suggests that you fare better as someone who gives the orders rather than as a person in a subservient position. Idealistic and loyal, with a strong sense of duty, you usually let obligations take precedence over inclinations of the heart. Your sensitivity, however, does not detract from the fact that you possess good business sense and an awareness of material considerations. This part of your personality can be resolute and inflexible.


Until you reach the age of thirty, your Sun progresses through Sagittarius, highlighting issues of idealism, expansion, and opportunity. This period is good for study, travel, or your pursuit of truth and a positive philosophy. At age thirty-one there is a turning point when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn. You start to take a more disciplined, determined, and realistic approach to life. From the age of sixty-one, when your progressed Sun enters Aquarius, you begin to place more of an emphasis on your personal freedom and the need to express your individuality. This can also accent issues of humanitarian ideals, friendship, and group awareness.

By developing your natural humanitarianism, you are able to avoid personal dissatisfaction or disappointment with others. A great deal of your achievement depends on broadening your knowledge and expanding your universal understanding. By becoming mentally detached or objective, you are able to rise above difficult situations and solve problems with inspired thinking.

And I'll do it a thousand times again

And I'll rise up

High like the waves

I'll rise up

In spite of the ache

I'll rise up

And I'll do it a thousand times again


When the silence isn't quiet

And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe

And I know you feel like dying

But I promise we'll take the world to its feet

And move mountains

Bring it to its feet

And move mountains

And I'll rise up


I'll rise like the day

I'll rise up

I'll rise unafraid

I'll rise up

And I'll do it a thousand times again


All we need, all we need is hope

And for that we have each other

And for that we have each other


And we will rise

We will rise

We'll rise, oh, oh

We'll rise


I'll rise up

Rise like the day

I'll rise up

In spite of the ache

I will rise a thousand times again


And we'll rise up

High like the waves

We'll rise up

In spite of the ache

We'll rise up

And we'll do it a thousand times again

For you

For you

For you

For you
Until next year ...

I really enjoyed reading the birthday day for my Scorpio sun/Gem moon coworker/Scorpio bestie/homeboy. It described him to a T.
