Being a Scorpio born on November 8th, your personality is defined by your shyness, and determined by your artistic nature. You set goals for yourself and will work hard to accomplish them. You prefer that your efforts remain private however, as you detest being the center of attention. This tendency only adds to your mystery and intrigue. You enjoy and appreciate artistic expression, yet you maintain your shyness even in this area. Your friends and family appreciate your loving personality, even though they are sometimes frustrated with the emotional distance you choose to keep.

Your sign's paired element is water and as a Scorpio, you are the only zodiac sign that has a fixed relationship with the element. Thanks to your connection with water, you are quite at home on the unpredictable oceans of emotion. From your experiences, you gain great emotional understanding, which has helped you develop compassion. At time's water's influence can make you stubborn, but it is also the source of your determination, which is one of your greatest strengths. Embracing water's influence will play a key role in your personal growth, but be careful to avoid the moodiness and instability that accompanies too much emotion.

Pluto is the Scorpio's ruling planet, but as you were born in the second Decan, or part, of the sign, you also receive Neptune's planetary influence. If it is Pluto that can be held responsible for your pursuit of power and transformation, it is Neptune that can be credited with your innate sensitivity, compassion and vision. Your unique planetary influences combine to make you more sensitive and artistically inclined than the other Scorpio Decans. While your sensitivity is key to your artistic vision and understanding of others, you sometimes allow it to become a weakness. Your fear of being hurt keeps you closed off from those closest to you. If you continue to hide parts of yourself from loved ones, they wont be able to truly understand you or provide support when you are experiencing tough times.

Choosing one career path and sticking to it is a challenge, but luckily, there are many career paths that your abilities naturally align with. Compassionate and determined, you would serve well in management, administration or business. Your intellectual interest and shyness may lead to a career in science, research or psychology. Your creativity and sensitivity may lead you to expressing yourself through writing, similar to Margaret Mitchell, who was also born on November 8th. Likewise, the appeal of musical/artistic expression may be too great to ignore, which was the case for Leif Garret, another of your celebrity birthday twins.

The Sabian Symbol for your birthday is a girl's face breaking into a smile. Although it is hard to realize in a fast-paced life, there is much warmth to be had in the simple experience of feeling. Embrace the youth of your heart and jump into new experiences.
