November 21 Zodiac Sign

People born on November 21 are Scorpio or Sagittarius.

Most zodiac date tables put November 21 in Scorpio, but the Sun changes sign at a slightly different moment each year. In 116 of the 201 years from 1900 to 2100 it moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius during November 21 somewhere in the world, and in the other 85 the whole day was Scorpio. So a November 21 birthday can be either sign: the year, the hour and the place decide.

What Sagittarius is like

Symbol: The Archer
Element: Fire
