November 12 zodiac sign: Scorpio

Sun sign: Scorpio
Sun at noon UTC: 19.2° to 20.6° Scorpio
Decan: Second of Scorpio, 10° to 20°
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 12, in every time zone on Earth, between 19.2° and 20.6° of the sign at noon UTC, so a November 12 birthday is a Scorpio birthday whatever the year or the hour.

At noon UTC on November 12 the Sun is in the second decan of Scorpio in 52 of those years and in the third in 39, so the decan, like the sign at a cusp, turns on the year. The second decan of Scorpio is a face that belongs to the Sun in the Chaldean order and is read through Pisces, ruled by Jupiter, by triplicity, and in most years the decan runs from November 3 to November 12, and November 12 is its tenth day.

In most years November 12 is the 20th day of the Sun’s season in Scorpio, which runs from October 24 to November 21 counted at noon UTC, with nine days of it still to come. November 12 is the 316th day of a common year and the 317th of a leap year, with 49 days of the year still to come after it.

November 12 birthday personality

The Sun takes the middle of Scorpio in the Chaldean scheme while Pisces, under Jupiter, holds it by triplicity, so depth is read here as insight that wants to heal rather than to win. Tradition sees the investigator with compassion, and asks that the same light be turned inward.

The 12th joins 1 and 2 into 3, so numerology reads it as the self and the partner making something together, expression with a collaborator. Twelve is also the number of the months and the signs, which older symbolism took for a complete cycle. Read through water, the 3 is emotional expression, the artist whose work makes other people feel understood.

A question to carry from November 12: what story would your depth tell if you trusted the people listening?

The Sun in Scorpio and the number 3 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 3

Born on the 12th, 1 + 2 = 3, so your birthday number is 3: a 3 vibration supports creativity, communication, joy, and expressive movement, with creative communication as its gift and scattered focus, avoidance, or emotional dramatization as its strain.

For a birthday on November 12 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 12th reduces to 3, and 11 + 3 + 11 = 25, which reduces to 7, so 2027 is your Personal Year 7.

A Personal Year 7 is read as a year of reflection, study and rest, when the inner life asks for more room than the calendar. With 2027 a Universal Year 11 the tradition reads it as a year of real insight for anyone who makes time to be quiet.

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

In 2027 November 12 falls on a Friday, the day the old reckoning gives to Venus, and is a Personal Day 3 (9 + 12 = 21, then 3) in a Personal Month 9 (7 + 11 = 18, then 9), while April is a master month 11; the Personal Year itself turns on 1 January, not on the birthday.

November birthstone and birth flower

Birthstones: Topaz and citrine
Birth flower: Chrysanthemum

November’s topaz and citrine come from the modern list (the Jewelers of America list of 1912, as since revised), and its chrysanthemum from The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
