November 1 zodiac sign: Scorpio

Sun sign: Scorpio
Sun at noon UTC: 8.2° to 9.6° Scorpio
Decan: First of Scorpio, 0° to 10°
Element and mode: Water, fixed
Ruling planet: Pluto; Mars by tradition

In every one of the 91 years from 1940 to 2030 the Sun stood in Scorpio for the whole of November 1, in every time zone on Earth, between 8.2° and 9.6° of the sign at noon UTC, so a November 1 birthday is a Scorpio birthday whatever the year or the hour.

At noon UTC on November 1 the Sun is in the first decan of Scorpio, 0° to 10°, in every one of those years, a face that belongs to Mars in the Chaldean order and is read through Scorpio, ruled by Mars, by triplicity, so the two systems agree; in most years the decan runs from October 24 to November 2, and November 1 is its ninth day.

In most years November 1 is the 9th day of the Sun’s season in Scorpio, which runs from October 24 to November 21 counted at noon UTC, with 20 days of it still to come. November 1 is the 305th day of a common year and the 306th of a leap year, with 60 days of the year still to come after it.

November 1 birthday personality

Both systems give the first decan of Scorpio to Mars, its traditional ruler, so the old reading is intensity with a purpose, a will that does not let go of what it has chosen. Its gift is staying power, and its lesson that not every slight needs remembering.

Born on the 1st, you carry the number in its plainest form, with no compound behind it, only the 1 of beginnings. Numerologists read the first of the month as the self-starter, someone who would rather go first than wait to be asked. In a water sign the 1’s independence is read as emotional self-possession, a private strength that does not ask permission.

A question to carry from November 1: where could your depth make the first move you have been waiting for someone else to make?

The Sun in Scorpio and the number 1 are only part of the story: your Moon, your rising sign and the rest of your chart have as much to say, and the tradition offers all this as a mirror, never a verdict.

Birthday number 1

Born on the 1st, your birthday number is simply 1, the day itself: a 1 vibration supports initiative, courage, leadership, and clear beginnings, with initiative and self-direction as its gift and impatience, isolation, or ego pressure as its strain.

For a birthday on November 1 the house method reduces the birth month and the day on their own and adds the Universal Year of 2027, 11 (2 + 0 + 2 + 7 = 11, a master number kept whole), as it stands: November, the 11th month, keeps its master 11, the 1st gives 1, and 11 + 1 + 11 = 23, which reduces to 5, so 2027 is your Personal Year 5.

Numerology reads a Personal Year 5 as a lively year of change, movement and new experience. Under the Universal Year 11 the reading favours the changes that follow an honest sense of direction.

Personal Months of 2027, a Personal Year 5: Jan 6 Feb 7 Mar 8 Apr 9 May 1 Jun 11 Jul 3 Aug 4 Sep 5 Oct 6 Nov 7 Dec 8

In 2027 November 1 falls on a Monday, the day the old reckoning gives to the Moon, and is a Personal Day 8 (7 + 1 = 8) in a Personal Month 7 (5 + 11 = 16, then 7), while June is a master month 11; the Personal Year itself turns on 1 January, not on the birthday.
