The year-by-year table, 1940–2030
Times are universal time — convert your birth time before reading your year.
No date in November splits more often than this one. In most years since 1940, the Sun’s move from Scorpio into Sagittarius happens during November 22 itself — morning births landing on the Scorpion’s side, late ones on the Archer’s, with the changeover hour drifting from year to year. A handful of mid-century years stayed Scorpio all day; a recent handful ran Sagittarius end to end. The table above sorts your year, and if it shows the day split, your birth hour is the entire answer.
Water handing off to fire
The two signs at this hinge could hardly differ more. The Scorpio Sun runs fixed and deep — attention concentrated, feeling pressurized, trust rationed. The Sagittarius Sun runs mutable and outward — attention roaming, feeling aired immediately, trust extended on arrival. People born on the hinge tend to oscillate rather than average out: intense weeks, expansive weeks, a private depth wearing a traveler’s coat.
Devotion with the windows open
In love the hinge wants two things at once — the total bond and the open road — and does best with partners offering both: loyalty without surveillance, adventure without threat. When it works, it is formidable: passion that can also laugh at itself. At work the combination reads as investigator-explainer — digging like a Scorpio, reporting like a Sagittarius — suited to fieldwork, journalism, medicine with teaching attached, any craft that first goes deep and then goes public.
Grip and exit
The friction is the toggle: under stress one hand grips — control, jealousy, the closed door — while the other reaches for the exit: the trip, the new plan, the sudden philosophical case for leaving. Partners can get whiplash. The growth is noticing which reflex has fired and asking what the fear underneath actually is — being betrayed, or being caged. They have different remedies.
Whichever side of the line you suspect you’re on, don’t guess. The table above knows the year; when the day split, the birth chart calculator works out the Sun’s degree at your exact minute and settles it for good.
The date, answered
What zodiac sign is November 22?
Scorpio or Sagittarius — this date sits on the boundary. In 7 of the years from 1940 to 2030 the whole day belonged to Scorpio; in 7 it belonged to Sagittarius; in 77 the Sun crossed over during the day. The year table above gives your answer, and a birth chart settles it to the minute.
What time does the sign change on November 22?
In years when the ingress lands on November 22, it falls between 00:19 and 23:13 universal time. In the other years the whole day is one sign. Convert your birth time to UTC before reading the table.
Which sign should I read?
Check your birth year in the table. If your year is a split year, the deciding fact is your birth time converted to universal time — or skip the table and compute your chart, which reads the Sun's exact degree for your birth moment.
What degree is the Sun on November 22?
Between 29°18′ Scorpio and 0°43′ Sagittarius at noon universal time, depending on the year — the calendar drifts about a quarter degree per year against the Sun and resets on leap years. Your exact degree needs your birth date, year, and time.
