HOROSCOPE
As a Scorpio born on November 9th, you are well known for a shy nature and artistic aptitude. While others seem to live for attention, you could not be more of the opposite. You are far more comfortable in the background as you hate when all the eyes are on you. You naturally appreciate artistic expression, which explains your interest in writing, art, dance or other creative expression. While you are very sensitive to your loved ones, they are not immune to your shy demeanor. Your friends and family would be very surprised to know that there are still parts of yourself that you keep hidden from them. Luckily, this only adds to your mystery, which others find interesting and alluring.
