Report

November 20 people are born fighters and thus tend to find themselves involved in struggles of all kinds. Often controversial, their ideas and personality invariably become a focus of discussion and scrutiny. Those born on this day may also display a rebellious affect, though they are in fact extremely loyal to their family, company and social circle. It is generally due to the extreme nature of their views and their forceful manner of expressing them that they arouse antagonism. Rarely will they tone down their rhetoric. Indeed, they would rather fight than switch. November 20 people can be bitingly sarcastic, but also extremely funny. They have a knack for probing people’s weaknesses and love to make sport of those who are stuck-up or pompous. Sometimes it seems they are never more satisfied than when they are bringing someone down off of his/her high horse. November 20 people are on the whole highly practical. Particularly women born on this day can make a flaky impression on first meeting, but in fact this is due more to the trappings of personality than the content of their character; they usually have things well under control. Both men and women born on this day do have an excitable nature, however, and are quite capable of having fits when they are repeatedly frustrated. Mental training is thus vital to their success: learning to control their emotional, volatile side, and finding the cause of their anger and how to deal with it. Those born on this day often display an interest in antisocial activities, illegal practices and borderline business operations of many types. At some point in their lives they may be tempted to take part in such activities themselves, but more often than not wisely limit their involvement to study and diversion. Perhaps this is because they generally see themselves as upholders of the law (in its purest form) and strictly adhere to their own moral standards. There is a childlike side to November 20 people that keeps them young both in looks and spirit—a kind of timeless quality that defies age. In like manner, those born on this day themselves have a way with children, and their family life can be extremely active. November 20 people often make fine role models for younger people (who may look up to them as crusaders of a kind) because they demonstrate a seriousness toward life that is admirable. It is also possible, however, that those born on this day in zealously pursuing their goals may alienate the feelings of loved ones. Thus, they must beware of jeopardizing the harmony of their family through an untempered enthusiasm for their work or ideals.

Numbers

Those born on the 20th of the month are ruled by the number 2 (2+0=2), and by the Moon. Those ruled by the number 2 tend to be gentle and imaginative, and easily hurt by the criticism or inattention of others. They may also take offense easily and exhibit a low threshold of irritation. Born on the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp (theme: revolution), November 20 people are prone to emotional instability and anger, particularly when others do not understand or appreciate them (further emphasized by the influence on the Moon of Pluto and Mars, co-rulers of Scorpio, and Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius).

Archetype

The 20th card of the Major Arcana shows The Judgment or Awakening in which people are urged to leave material considerations behind and seek a higher spirituality, an image particularly appropriate for November 20 people. The card, depicting an angel blowing a trumpet, signifies that a new day, a day of accountability, is dawning. It is a card which suggests we move beyond our ego, and allows us a glimpse at the infinite. The danger is that, for some, the trumpet call heralds only exaltation and intoxication, a loss of balance, and indulgence in revels involving the basest instincts.

Health

November 20 people often attract negative vibrations from others because of their extreme views and unrelenting energy. Learning to relax, to take it easy sometimes, is essential. Working out their energy in very active forms of physical exercise can be helpful. Particularly recommended are distance running and swimming, competitive sports of all kinds, as well as aerobics and gymnastics. In diet, hearty foods are recommended, particularly soups, stews and root vegetables. Forming a loving and stable relationship with a calm and nurturing partner is an absolute must if November 20 people are to find peace in their tumultuous lives.

Advice

Get a handle on your energy and your tongue. It is more difficult to undo than to do. Self-control is key. Understand the basis of your anger. Learn to laugh at yourself, too. Try to avoid arguments, antagonisms and confrontations as much as possible.

Meditation

The simple realities of everyday life have an important connection with the world of high ideals
