#1 Your baby will be a Scorpio or a Sagittarius

Scorpios, a commonly misunderstood sign, are born between November 1st and November 22nd. Scorpio kids are enigmatic and sensitive, with a creative and clever streak. Scorpios, on the other hand, can be domineering and ambitious, two characteristics that have earned them a negative rep. The Archer represents November kids born after November 22nd, who are born under the sign of Sagittarius. These babies are usually upbeat and adventurous, which makes the toddler years very enjoyable.
