Between Scorpio and Sagittarius: the year decides

The dates printed beside each sign are a convention. The Sun crosses from Scorpio into Sagittarius at one exact moment, and that moment moves: about six hours later each year, then back a day in leap years. So on November 21 the answer depends on the year, and in some years on the hour.

The whole day is Scorpio in:

The sign: Scorpio

Scorpio is fixed water, ruled by Mars: feeling held under pressure until it becomes will. Its natives go to the root of things, keep secrets, and give trust slowly and completely. Nothing is lukewarm with them. They know endings and what comes after endings, which is why people bring them what they can tell no one else.

The third decan, and what it changes

The third decan is the Moon's, through Cancer. Feeling is closest to the surface among the Scorpio born: these natives are protective, attached to family, and their memory for the heart's matters is long.

The sign: Sagittarius

Sagittarius is mutable fire under Jupiter, the archer whose arrow is aimed far. Its natives need distance: roads, ideas, a horizon. They speak the truth as they see it, sometimes too straight, and carry good fortune the way others carry luggage. Faith comes naturally to them, and so does restlessness when the road closes.

The first decan, and what it changes

The first decan is Jupiter twice over. This is Sagittarius at its freest: optimistic, restless, generous, and sure that the next road is the right one. Luck follows these natives more often than not.
