Born at this point in Scorpio season
Born on November 2, this person arrives early in Scorpio, right on the seam where one stretch of the season hands off to the next. Their birthday sits at the turn, so change rarely finds them unready. They notice when a friendship cools or a job stops fitting before anyone says so. Holding that awareness steadily, while still choosing when to speak, is the work their early-season birthday asks of them.
