When does Sagittarius start and end?
Sagittarius season begins on November 22 and ends on December 21. You may see the dates listed a day earlier or later on other sites, and that’s not an error — the Sun doesn’t change signs at the same clock time every year, so the exact start and end can shift by about a day depending on the year and your time zone. For almost everyone, the November 22 to December 21 range is exactly right. If your birthday lands on the very first or very last day, read the cusp section below.
Were you born on the Sagittarius cusp?
Born right at the edge of Sagittarius? Then you were born on a cusp — the changeover point between two signs. The first day of Sagittarius (November 22) sits on the Scorpio–Sagittarius cusp, and the last day (December 21) sits on the Sagittarius–Capricorn cusp. Astrologically there’s no such thing as being “half and half,” though — you are still fully one sign or the other. The only way to know for certain is to check the exact moment the Sun changed signs in your birth year, because a birthday on the boundary can fall under either sign depending on the year and the hour you were born. If you were born on November 22 or December 21, a quick birth-chart lookup will settle it for good.
The three decans of Sagittarius
Every sign is divided into three decans of roughly ten days, each with a sub-ruler that adds its own flavour to the core Sagittarius personality. Here’s where you fall:
- First decan (November 22–December 1): the purest expression of Sagittarius, doubly ruled by Jupiter — the most classic Sagittarius traits.
- Second decan (December 2–11): shaded by Aries (sub-ruled by Mars), adding an Aries twist to your Sagittarius core.
- Third decan (December 12–21): shaded by Leo (sub-ruled by the Sun), adding a Leo twist to your Sagittarius core.
Sagittarius personality in brief
As a fire mutable sign ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius is adventurous, optimistic, and freedom-loving — the zodiac’s philosopher and explorer. That’s the short version — for the full breakdown of Sagittarius traits, strengths and weaknesses, love and compatibility, the Sagittarius man and woman, career, and mythology, read the complete Sagittarius zodiac sign guide.
