November 29 zodiac sign: Sagittarius in Jupiter's home decan

The one who opens the laptop and books it

At the end of Thanksgiving dinner, a November 29 person is the one who says “We should all go somewhere in March” and opens a laptop to find flights, and the November 29 zodiac sign is Sagittarius. The Sun sits at about 7° of the sign, a week past the handoff from Scorpio. That change happens around November 21 or 22, so November 29 is Sagittarius in every year and at any birth time.

After Thanksgiving, before the solstice

In the United States, Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November, so November 29 lands in or just after that long weekend in many years. Leftovers fill the fridge, holiday lights go up, and the shopping season is in full swing. In much of the Northern Hemisphere the first real snow may arrive, and the days keep shrinking toward the winter solstice in late December.

Sagittarius brings fire to the darkest stretch of the year. People born now are like a bonfire on a cold night. They are warm and bright, and they draw a crowd.

Jupiter, doubled

Sagittarius has three decans, each linked to a fire sign. Jupiter, the sign’s ruler, co-rules the first. Mars, through Aries, co-rules the second, and the Sun, through Leo, the third. November 29 is in the first.

Jupiter is the planet of growth, wisdom, faith and generosity. With Jupiter doubled, a November 29 person shows Sagittarius at its clearest. They are hopeful and honest, and always pulled toward something bigger. It might be a foreign city, a new philosophy or a long road trip.

Seven degrees, early and bold

At about 7°, the sign is young. Its qualities come through directly, without the extra fire of the Mars decan just ahead. Scorpio’s intensity is fading fast, though a November 29 person can show surprising depth when the talk gets serious. Compared with someone born on December 5, who carries more Mars push, a November 29 Sagittarius is more thinker than fighter.

Passport ready

They keep a passport ready, a backpack half-packed and three countries on a wish list. That March trip from the dinner table tends to happen.

They love a big, loud birthday, ideally somewhere new. A road trip, a cabin with friends or a city they have never seen all suit them. They tell the best stories the next day, and some of the stories are even true.

How November 29 people love

November 29 people love openly and generously. They want a partner who is also a friend and a fellow explorer, someone who will try new food, new places and new ideas with them. They are funny and affectionate, and they say what they mean.

Their honesty can sting. They may blurt out a criticism they think is helpful. After an argument, they want to clear the air fast, sometimes before a partner is ready. Giving the other person time, and adding some tenderness to the frankness, helps a lot. See Sagittarius compatibility for pairings.

Teachers and travelers at work

At work, November 29 people inspire. They do well in teaching, travel, publishing, coaching, outdoor jobs, international business, broadcasting and fundraising. They can make a room believe in a big goal.

Detail is their weak spot. Jupiter sees the forest and misses the trees, and paperwork can slide. A detail-minded coworker or a simple checklist keeps their big plans on track.

The adventure buddy

A November 29 Sagittarius has friends in many places. Some come from college, some from travels, some from a class they took on a whim. They bring people together for hikes, game nights and late talks about the meaning of everything.

They sometimes promise more than they can deliver, like the visit, the call or the help with a move. Writing commitments down, and making fewer of them, makes them even more loved.

Questions over answers

A November 29 Sagittarius keeps a stack of half-read books on religion, history or travel by the bed. They like asking why people believe what they believe, and they rarely mind if the answer differs from their own. At a crowded holiday table, they turn a tense political moment into a curious question. For them, that openness is a bigger adventure than any trip.

Mutable fire with a wide view

Sagittarius is one of the fire signs and a mutable one, adaptable and always moving. Jupiter in the decan widens the view even further. A natal Jupiter in Sagittarius would amplify this birthday’s theme of growth and exploration.

The Sun’s return to 7° Sagittarius

Every year near November 29, the Sun comes back to its birth degree. The chart for that moment is your solar return, a traditional lens on the year ahead.

For this birthday, the year asks for follow-through. Choose one big promise, to yourself or someone else, and keep it all year. Jupiter rewards faith, and it rewards finished adventures most of all.

The whole person

The Sun is one layer. A November 29 Sagittarius with a Virgo Moon is more careful and critical in private than their breezy style suggests, and a Taurus Rising can make them look calm and grounded at first. How strong each planet is, and which elements dominate, sharpen the outline. Our big three guide shows how these layers work together.
