Born at this point in Scorpio season
Born on November 4, in the middle stretch of Scorpio, this person notices what others skip past. Water runs steady here, fixed in place, so feelings hold their shape longer than many expect. When a friend goes quiet, they sit with the silence instead of filling it. That patience can look like distance from the outside. Inside, they are still deciding how much of themselves to open.
