Born November 14
Shyness sometimes makes this little silvery fish lurk under a stone, which is a pity because he who lurks loses the world. November 14 has enormous potential, all the usual Scorpio organisational talents and capacity for massive concentration. But their self-image is often zilch. They prefer to serve rather than be served and this can be irritating to friends. Too much time is spent by others persuading November 14 to come out of hiding and show its gleaming scales. This creature has to be egged on to try for university, go for a job and promotion, insist on its talent being recognised. Even buy an extrovert new outfit. Companions sometimes get weary pushing and pulling. Lovers too. Because it’s hard being fond of somebody who you know could realise their ambition with a bit of effort, but who somehow doesn’t get round to it. Many do come out and when they do, dazzle all around not just with their talent, but a swift sense of humour and the kind of startling honesty which sees how a situation can be changed when others have long accepted its inconvenience. They’re the kind who invent a childproof pill bottle which isn’t also adult proof. And an iron which doesn’t scatter white flecks all over clean clothes. November 14 is much happier when he or she can realise their talents, because hiding away may be safe, but also makes you resentful. They are just as hesitant in love, which is odd because they have all the Scorpio slim, attention-grabbing good looks. Would-be partners have to make the running and must demonstrate their lack of flightiness because November 14 certainly doesn’t want her heart trifled with. A powerful love affair and secure marriage or partnership makes those scales positively flash with iridescence and finally this person can forget whatever happened in his or her childhood – often a divorce or illness -which made them withdraw.
Body
Sensitive November 14 suffers from mild rashes, puffy eyes, feet, insomnia and other symptoms which may be due to food intolerance. In the fifth century BC, Hippocrates was aware that a significant number of people reacted adversely to certain foods and needed instructions to avoid them. Ask your GP to help. Some sufferers react to gluten, the protein part of flour, or are intolerant to lactose, milk sugar, which possibly affects half the people on earth. Often those sensitive to aspirin are also sensitive to foods which contain salicylates, such as almonds, apples, apricots, peaches, prunes, oranges, tomatoes, tangerines, cucumbers, cherries, grapes and raisins.
Mind
Tarot’s Major Arcana has the 14th card as Temperance. Obviously this can refer to excessive modesty, which is negative. Plus factors include powerful flashes of understanding and a humorous undermining of the egotistical.
