In Western astrology, a November 28 birthday falls in Sagittarius, in the first decan, with Jupiter as the sign's ruler and Jupiter as the decan's. In numerology the day gives birthday number 1. The Life Path also uses the birth year. Sagittarius is mutable and fire.

November 28 zodiac sign and personality
November 28 reduces to 1, giving early Sagittarius a strong independent streak. The Sun at around six degrees sits in a decan where Jupiter rules twice, linked with confidence and luck. Interpretively, this is someone who strikes out alone, trusts their instincts and tends to land on their feet, though not always where they originally planned to go.
On November 28 the Sun usually sits at about 6° Sagittarius, in the first decan, where Jupiter rules the decan as well as the sign. Jupiter rules Sagittarius and presides over its first decan as well, from about November 23 to December 1. This is traditionally the most expansive, optimistic stretch of the sign. Natives are often described as adventurous, generous and philosophical, eager to travel, learn and share whatever they have discovered. Humour and candour come easily, and so can a tendency to say the true thing a little too bluntly. Doubled Jupiter can make commitments multiply faster than time allows. These Archers tend to thrive when their search for meaning has room to roam but also somewhere to come home to.
November 28 in numerology
A birthday on the 28th reduces as 2 + 8 = 10, then 1 + 0 = 1. The birthday number is 1, but reached by a route that runs through partnership (2) and authority (8). Numerologists often read the 28th as a more cooperative kind of leader than the 1st: independent and ambitious, yet aware that big plans need allies. Those born on this day are frequently described as determined, enterprising and persuasive. As a supporting number, the 28 tends to show in a talent for starting things with others already on board, rather than recruiting help after the fact.
The Life Path, the main number in a numerology chart, also uses the birth year, so it changes from one November 28 birthday to the next: it is 1 for 1960, 2 for 1970, 3 for 1980 and 4 for 1990, for example.
Born on November 28: season, famous birthdays and Chinese zodiac
A November birthday falls in late autumn for the northern hemisphere, a season of bare branches and early dusk, and in late spring for the southern, when the days lengthen fast. Scorpio holds most of the month, with Sagittarius arriving around November 22. In numerology November is month 11, a master number that is traditionally kept unreduced and linked with intuition and inspiration. November 28 is the 332nd day of the year (333rd in a leap year). By December 22, 24 days later, the Sun has usually moved on into Capricorn.
For the Chinese zodiac, Lunar New Year has always passed by November 28, so the animal is simply the one for the birth year. Well-known people born on November 28 include Friedrich Engels (1820), William Blake (1757) and Stefan Zweig (1881).
