November 28 zodiac sign: Sagittarius, first decan

If you were born on November 28, your sign is Sagittarius, the fire sign ruled by Jupiter: the Sun is in Sagittarius on this date in every year from 1980 to 2030. The Sun sits about 6° into Sagittarius on this date, in the first decan, where Sagittarius's core takes on a Mercury flavour. Here's what the date fixes, and what only your birth time can tell you.

Your sign: Sagittarius

The mutable fire sign that aims at the bigger picture and refuses to be domesticated.

A Sagittarius Sun is built around expansion and meaning. You're the friend who has lived in three countries, who keeps reading philosophy at 2am, who wants to know what people actually think rather than what they're supposed to say. Your optimism is real — not the brittle "everything happens for a reason" kind, but a genuine sense that life is interesting and worth showing up for.

The date fixes the Sun; the year and hour fix the rest. A Sagittarius born November 28 with the Moon in Aquarius runs on a different inner weather from one with the Moon in Sagittarius: see Sagittarius Sun, Aquarius Moon. Your rising sign needs the birth time; the twelve Sagittarius Sun combinations show what each one changes.

In the US (2000–2014), an average of 10,486 babies were born on each November 28, rank 350 of 366 dates; Sagittarius is number 10 of 12 signs (7.95%). What's the most common zodiac sign?

The Moon on November 28, 1980–2030

Across the 51 years from 1980 to 2030, the Moon at noon UTC on November 28 was most often in Virgo (6 years) and least often in Aries, Cancer, and Scorpio (3 years each). Unlike the Sun, the Moon sign depends on the birth year. On November 28, 2026, the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo at 11:20 UTC.

In 24 of those 51 years (47%) the Moon changed sign during November 28 itself, so in those years the birth time decides the Moon as well as the rising sign. Cells with an arrow mark them, with the UTC time of the change. The Moon was exactly full on November 28 in 2012, and new in 1989 and 2027.

Find your birth year. One sign means the Moon spent the whole UTC day there; an arrow means it changed sign that day, at the UTC time shown: born before it, the first sign; after it, the second. The Moon sign calculator settles it in seconds; your birth chart adds the rising sign and houses.

Times in UTC: a birth late in the evening in the Americas, or early in the morning in Asia, can fall on the neighbouring UTC date.

Your decan: the first decan of Sagittarius

Each sign is divided into three 10° decans, and each decan has a sub-ruler that shades the sign's core. Degrees 0–10 of Sagittarius belong to Mercury: how you think, learn, communicate, and process information. Read it as Sagittarius with a Mercury accent — the fire core is unchanged, the emphasis moves.

What the date can't tell you

The Sun is one placement out of ten. Your Moon sign changes every two to three days, so Sagittarians born on November 28 in different years have different Moons; your rising sign changes every two hours and needs a birth time and place. Those two carry most of what people mean by "personality" in a chart.

It depends on the year, and in 47% of years on the hour too. For example: in 1980, Leo or Virgo; in 1990, Aries; in 2000, Sagittarius or Capricorn; in 2010, Leo or Virgo; in 2020, Taurus. Over 1980–2030 the Moon on November 28 was most often in Virgo. A birth time and place pin it down.
