November 16 Zodiac Birthday Signs – Intuitive and thoughtful, with a pragmatic approach, you are a Scorpio with good organizational and planning skills. As a rational thinker, you like to make good use of the wide knowledge you frequently acquire through your inquisitiveness and probing mind. As you are a perfectionist, this cerebral potential suggests that you like to solve problems and can succeed in research work and study.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Cancer, empowers you with imagination and psychic abilities. This influence also suggests that you possess deep feelings and a capacity to express yourself dramatically through a dynamic unconscious. Idealistic, with a forceful personality, you have the ability to understand current trends and can enjoy being creative while making money if you do not succumb to being critical or fixed in your ideas.
Positive thinking and education, whether formal or self-directed, usually play an important role in your advancement. Although often skeptical, you may discover sometime in life a need to enhance your common sense by exploring a more philosophical or mystical perspective. You may even find yourself acting as an advisor to others. Since you are particularly drawn to people who are clever or interesting, you are liable to make contacts based on shared interests.
While you are between the ages of six and thirty-five, your progressed Sun is in Sagittarius, highlighting issues of adventure and expansion in life. You may feel optimistic or wish to extend your mental horizons through study or travel during this period. At age thirty-six, when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn, you reach a turning point as you start to take a more practical, ordered, and realistic approach to life. From the age of sixty-six, when your progressed Sun enters Aquarius, you begin to increase your powers of observation and become more independent, humanitarian, and group-conscious.
Work & Vocation
Practical and shrewd, you have an innate business sense. Employers respect your good organizational skills and the fact that you can be responsible. This can aid you in administration or managerial work. Being very independent, however, you like the freedom to work in your own way or may prefer to be self-employed. You are generally aware of the advantages of working cooperatively with others and may become involved in working partnerships. Your keen mind may attract you to research, education, law, or advisory positions. Some people of this birthday also have an interest in the study of philosophy, psychology, or metaphysics. Equally, you can be financially successful in sales, agencies, or promotion. You are a good long-term planner and usually enjoy fighting for a cause.
Famous people who share your birthday include actress Bo Derek, composer William Handy, boxer Frank Bruno, jockey Willie Carson, comedian Griff Rhys Jones, actor Burgess Meredith, scientist Werner Von Braun, and writer Chinua Achebe.
Numerology
A number 16 birthday suggests that you are thoughtful, sensitive, and friendly. Although analytical, you often judge life and people according to how you feel. As a number 16 personality, however, you can experience inner tensions when facing friction between a need for self-expression and responsibility to others. With this birthdate, you may be interested in world affairs and may join international corporations or the media world. If creative, you can have a talent for writing with sudden flashes of inspiration. You may need to learn how to balance between being overly confident and being doubtful and insecure. The subinfluence of the number 11 month indicates that although you are receptive and imaginative, with powerful emotions, you can be secretive and often hide your feelings by appearing collected or aloof. You may prefer to rationalize your feelings but are prone to strong emotional reactions or periods of emotional turbulence. These strong desires for self-fulfillment need to find expression through an ideal or a cause. Although your expectations of others are high, being unsympathetic or too critical can undermine your long-term plans.
