HOROSCOPE
As a Scorpio born on November 11th, your personality is dominated by your shyness, compassion and artistic interest. While you know others who love to be the center of attention, you take refuge in the shadows, where you are far more comfortable to work. This quality makes you mysterious, which explains why others often take interest in you. Although compassionate and caring, your shyness is also present in your personal relationships. Your friends and family marvel at the fact that there are times when they encounter parts of your personality that they did not know existed. Among your most private qualities, is your artistic interests, as you prefer to keep your creative expression private for the most part.
