What zodiac sign is November 2?
November 2 falls in Scorpio, which runs from October 23 to November 21 in the tropical zodiac. The Sun changes sign at a slightly different moment each year, so the boundary can fall a day or so either side of these dates. If you were born close to the edge, your birth year, time and place decide it.
Is November 2 a cusp birthday?
Not by the usual definition, which counts the first and last couple of days of a sign. November 2 is day 11 of Scorpio season, so it is normally read as a clear Scorpio birthday.
Which decan is November 2?
November 2 is in the second decan of Scorpio (November 2–11). In the traditional Chaldean system this decan is ruled by Sun, which astrologers say adds its own flavour to Scorpio. Some modern astrologers assign decan rulers by element instead, which gives different planets, and decans are strictly 10° slices of the zodiac, so the date range is approximate.
What are the birthstone and flower for November?
The modern birthstone for November is Topaz and the birth flower is the chrysanthemum. These come from calendar tradition rather than astrology, and the lists vary by country and source.
