November Birthdays: Zodiac Signs, Decans and Numerology for Every Day

Zodiac signs and decans in November

November begins in the last days of Scorpio's first decan, where Pluto's doubled influence makes the sign at its most concentrated. Around November 3 the second decan brings Neptune as sub-ruler, softening Scorpio's intensity with intuition and imagination. From about November 13, the third decan places the Moon in charge, and the sign turns protective and family-minded. Then, around November 22, the Sun enters Sagittarius. Fixed water gives way to mutable fire, and the mood swings from depth to distance, from privacy to candour. The final week of November sits in Sagittarius' first decan, where Jupiter is doubled and optimism runs high. November birthdays often carry both the investigator and the explorer: someone who digs deep into a question and then wants to travel far with the answer.

In most years November birthdays from the 1st to the 22nd are Scorpio, and from the 23rd they are Sagittarius. The cusp dates, where the sign can differ by year or time zone, are November 21, 22 and 23; each has its own page explaining both possibilities. Decan by decan, the month opens in the first decan of Scorpio, linked with Pluto, from the 3rd the second decan of Scorpio, linked with Neptune, from the 13th the third decan of Scorpio, linked with Moon and from the 23rd the first decan of Sagittarius, linked with Jupiter.

November birthdays in numerology and the Chinese zodiac

November is month 11, and because 11 is a master number it is traditionally left unreduced rather than collapsed to 2. Numerologists associate it with intuition, inspiration and sensitivity, often with a higher-voltage feel than the plain 2. A November birthday can therefore add a visionary, slightly charged note to the rest of a birth date. In Chinese astrology, November birthdays follow the calendar year's animal. Four Pillars astrology marks the start of the Pig month around November 7 with the Beginning of Winter, so most November birthdays carry the Pig in the month pillar. The Pig is traditionally linked with generosity, sincerity and an enjoyment of life's comforts. Beside Scorpio's depth and the intuitive 11, it adds warmth, appetite and an open hand.

Every page for a November date lists the Life Path for several birth years, because the year changes the total even when the day stays the same.

Famous November birthdays

Each November page lists the best-known people born on that date, drawn from Wikidata and ranked by how many Wikipedia language editions have an article about them. A sample across the month: Aishwarya Rai (November 1), Laura Bush (November 4), Marie Curie (November 7), Friedrich Schiller (November 10), Huang Xianfan (November 13), Guillermo Lasso (November 16), Indira Gandhi (November 19), Charles de Gaulle (November 22), John XXIII (November 25) and Friedrich Engels (November 28). Sharing a birthday with someone well known says nothing about a life's direction, but it is a pleasant way into the date's sign, decan and numbers, which each page then explains in turn. The lists favour people with a precisely recorded birth date in the modern Gregorian calendar, so some much-celebrated figures from earlier centuries are missing.
