Frequently asked questions about the November zodiac sign

What is the zodiac sign for a November birth?

Scorpio covers the first three weeks and a little more, Sagittarius the end of the month. As everywhere, the day of the boundary changes slightly with the year and appears in the grid, time included. A birthday on November 2 or 15 is without doubt Scorpio, and one on November 29 is always Sagittarius.

Born on the day the sign changes in November: Scorpio or Sagittarius?

Before the moment shown for your year, Scorpio; after, Sagittarius. In November, the French clock is one hour ahead of the universal time of the ephemerides. For a birth abroad, or if the exact time is missing, the calculator indicates what can still be settled and what remains uncertain, rather than choosing for you.

Does Ophiuchus, the thirteenth sign, change my November sign?

No, not in Western astrology. Ophiuchus is a constellation the Sun passes along at the turn of autumn into winter, but the signs of the tropical zodiac are not constellations: they are twelve equal portions of the ecliptic, set to the seasons. The debate returns regularly in the press; it actually pits two definitions of the zodiac against each other.
