Born at this point in Scorpio season
Born on November 8, this person sits in the middle of Scorpio season, where the water sign's depth has settled into something steady. They notice what is left unsaid in a room and carry it for a while before speaking. Friends come to them when a situation needs a level head and a patient ear. The trouble starts when they keep quiet so long that others assume everything is fine. Their second-decan nature pushes them to act once they finally decide something matters.
