HOROSCOPE
As a Scorpio born on November 3rd, you are well known for your artistic talent, shyness and strong will. Similar to all Scorpios, your determination and will power is strong, which is why you are always capable of getting the job done. Although you have many talents, some of them artistic, you have no desire to be the center of attention. You are much more comfortable working behind the scenes to meet your goals. Your friends and family value your sensitivity, although they are sometimes left in the dark about your true feelings. You keep a large part of yourself hidden from the outside world, which may explain why others find you to be intriguingly mysterious.
