November 4: Birthday Profile & Astrology Forecast

Intense, charming, and offbeat, you take great pleasure in throwing people off their axis. It’s a trait often associated with your Sun Sign Scorpio. Like your birthday twin Matthew McConaughey, you command everyone’s full attention, simply because nobody is quite sure what you’ll do next. As a November 4th person, there is a method to your madness that is not immediately discernible.

November 4th Birthdays & Their Unique Traits

Commanding and personable, November 4 people know how to work the crowd. Even though you appear relaxed, you’re quite controlled, giving only brief glimpses of your vulnerability before resuming an air of complete confidence. Since people aren’t sure what to expect of you, they often treat you as some kind of oracle. It’s a role you’re happy to play.

Truthfully, you don’t have any idea what the future will hold. You do, however, believe that you are the creator of your own reality. Consequently, you often fake it until you make it. Even when you don’t have hands-on experience or expert knowledge, you manage to work your way into positions of power, simply because you embody the leadership qualities people crave.

As a November 4 person, you’re not egotistical. Rather, you know that you’re just like everybody else, filled with insecurity and uncertainty. What sets you apart is an ability to reassure people that their fears are unfounded—provided they put their faith in you. In this way, you gain a loyal following that is the envy of your rivals. Fortunately, most people who are born on this day use their star power to help others. The few November 4 people who abuse their influence end up bitter and disillusioned.

When it comes to love, you should strive for an equal partnership. Although your magnetic personality attracts lots of needy people, you fare best with someone who matches your charisma. Being half of a power couple gives you great comfort and reassurance. Together, you can preside over a family dynasty, business empire, charitable organization—or all three. 

Blessed with tremendous animal magnetism, you will never lack for admirers. This can make you a little jaded about humanity, especially since so many people seem attracted to you for superficial reasons. By practicing discernment in both your personal and professional lives, you can surround yourself with quality individuals who celebrate your truly exceptional points: diligence, determination, and dedication.

Intensely self-protective, it can be hard for you to let down your guard. Although making friends doesn’t come naturally to you, the challenge of building a lasting relationship is appealing to November 4 people. As far as you’re concerned, the best things in life take time to build. That’s why you prefer a tight circle of friends you’ve known for years, rather than a huge crowd of casual pals. 

Just because you are a natural-born leader doesn’t mean you should always assume the dominant role, however. Until you learn to defer to others, you’ll never experience the joy of a peer relationship. Get into the habit of delegating important jobs to colleagues, asking your romantic partner to choose what they’d like to do on a date, and encouraging your children to trust their instincts about which hobbies to pursue. 

As far as your health is concerned, you should take extra precautions with your physical safety. November 4 people tend to burn the candle at both ends. Consequently, they can have accidents caused by exhaustion. Getting plenty of sleep, stretching before workouts, and wearing safety equipment are especially smart moves if you are a November 4 person.

Governed by original Uranus (4) and perceptive Pluto (Scorpio’s ruler), you’re both offbeat and insightful. Finding the shortest path to success is one of your specialties. Although your methods seem perfectly crazy to outsiders, they always save time, money, and resources. Once you establish yourself as a mad genius, rivals will study your approach and try to copy it. These attempts at imitation always fall flat, since they lack your secret ingredient: absolute conviction in your own personal power.
