November 27
the day of electrifying excitement

strengths: quick, intuitive, impulsive
weaknesses: rash, rebellious, frustrated

Those born on Novmber 27 either generate or are drawn to exciting situations, or both. They are quick on their feet and an electric quality seems to permeate their endeavors. Those born on this day can be extremely impulsive and rarely stop to ask themselves if they are headed on the correct course. Often their intuitions are correct, but they can also get themselves into plenty of hot water, fast.

November 27 people often strike others as nervous types- both internally and externally they seem to be in constant, rapid motion. They are capable of exerting tremendous energy in order to meet a deadline, and therefore are excellent additions to a work team. They also have an instinctive feeling for what their co-workers need both technically and emotionally, and for this reason make excellent bosses as well, although as non-authoritarian types they tend to rebel against restrictions placed on them and are likewise uncomfortable in roles where they must discipline others. Absolute freedom of action is their primary requirement, and only those who understand this are able to live with them in harmony.

Frustration is evident in any November 27 person who is tied to an inflexible lifestyle or rigidly moralistic partner. Such frustration can burst forth suddenly in fits of impatience and temper. Anger is often a serious problem for those born on this day, whether overtly expressed or hammered down inside. In the latter case, such emotions can easily turn to depression and feelings of low self-esteem. The highs of November 27 people are stratospheric and the lows catastrophic. Usually, however, those born on this day do not swing back and forth cyclothymically- a good or bad period lasts for some time; however, it is very difficult for November 27 people to stay with a situation that is clearly not working for very long and, thankfully, their up-tempo periods seem to be longer lived.

November 27 people can do surprisingly well in family situations, since they love children, animals and making their homes comfortable and secure. They are happiest when they have both this stability and the freedom to roam as well, an unlikely combination, unfortunately. Because of their non-authoritarian attitude, they may feel more comfortable in treating their children as friends or siblings. This can cause
real problems for those children who feel the need for a strong father or mother figure and have to look elsewhere.

Violence is a theme that figures prominently in the lives of many November 27 people. Either they are prone to violence themselves, or inexplicably call it up in the environment around them. Learning to even out their energies, to deal with the upsets and upheavals, and calm troubled waters is a great spiritual challenge for them. Their personal evolution will usually grow in direct proportion to their capacity
to understand and channel those energies.
