Born on November 26
Sun in Sagittarius.
Your Sun sign
Anyone born on November 26 has the Sun in Sagittarius. A Sagittarius Sun is seeking meaning and telling the truth about what it finds. The work of the sign is conviction that keeps asking questions instead of settling into certainty.
The decan
November 26 falls in the first decan of Sagittarius — roughly 0° to 10° of the sign. The first decan is the sign at its most undiluted. Everything the sign is known for shows up here with the least interference — for better and for worse, this is the purest expression of it. Here that sub-ruler is Sagittarius itself, ruled by Jupiter: a double dose rather than a blend.
The Egyptian decan
Long before the Greeks divided the sky into twelve, Egyptian astronomers cut the year into thirty-six decans of about ten days, each marked by the star that rose with the dawn. November 26 belongs to Sbshsn-S, decan 33 of thirty-six, whose rising star is Aldebaran cluster and whose traditional quality is sacred descent. This is a separate tradition from the western zodiac above, not a translation of it — the two were built from different sky-watching and they disagree in places.
The deity for this date
The Egyptian deity paired with this date is The Nile (Hapi) — Water element, sacred animal the Crocodile. Deeply intuitive and emotionally perceptive, those born under The Nile possess a fluid nature that adapts to any situation. They are nurturers at heart, drawn to healing and sustaining life around them. Like the great river itself, they can be calm and generous or wild and overwhelming.
The day number
As a date, November 26 reduces to an 8 — ambition, capability, and a straightforward relationship with power and money. This is the day number rather than your full Life Path, which needs the month and year as well — but it is the part of the calculation your birthday alone decides.
What a birth date cannot tell you
One thing worth being clear about: a birth date on its own fixes your Sun sign and very little else. Your Moon sign changes every two and a half days, and your Rising sign changes roughly every two hours and depends on where you were born. Two people who share November 26 can have almost nothing else in common chart-wise.

Your Moon sign needs a time, your Rising sign needs a time and a place. Six questions, no card.

What zodiac sign is November 26?
November 26 is Sagittarius. The Sun is comfortably inside Sagittarius on this date in every year, so unlike the eleven cusp dates there is no ambiguity here.
Which decan is November 26?
November 26 falls in the first decan of Sagittarius, the 0–10° band, sub-ruled by Jupiter. Decans divide each sign into three ten-degree sections, which is how two people of the same sign can read quite differently.
Does my birthday tell you my Moon sign?
No. The Moon crosses a sign every two and a half days, so a date alone cannot fix it — you need at least the year, and usually the time. Zodaiya's Moon sign calculator will tell you honestly when your date is not enough to settle it.
What is special about being born on November 26?
Astrologically: the Sun's position, the decan it falls in, and the Egyptian deity The Nile traditionally paired with this part of the year. What it does not fix is the rest of your chart, which is where most of the personal detail actually lives.
