Sagittarius dates

When is Sagittarius season?

Sagittarius season usually runs from November 22 to December 21. But the Sun keeps its own clock, and it crosses into Sagittarius at a different minute every year. Here is that moment for each year between 1930 and 2050, and for this year in your own time.

What Sagittarius season asks of all of us

As the nights grow long, Sagittarius lights a fire and unrolls a map. This season makes everyone hungry for meaning, adventure and a bigger view than the one outside the window. Laugh more. Plan the trip. Ask the big question out loud.

A small ritual

Learn one thing you know nothing about, or book the trip you keep talking about.

Which third of Sagittarius are you?

The Sun spends about ten days in each third of a sign. These are the dates for 2026, Greenwich time. Your birthday lives in one of them.

First decanNovember 22 to December 2

Ruled by Jupiter

Jupiter keeps the first decan for itself, so the archer's appetite comes in extra large. Generous, wise and restless, you grow by exploring, and you take others with you.

Born November 22?
Second decanDecember 2 to December 12

Ruled by Mars

Mars sharpens the arrow. You are bold, competitive and quick to defend what you believe.

Born December 2?
Third decanDecember 12 to December 21

Ruled by the Sun

The Sun adds warmth and showmanship. You are a born storyteller and teacher, and your joy lights up a room.

Born December 12?

Born on the edge?

If your birthday is November 21, November 22, November 23 or December 20, December 21, December 22, December 23, your Sun sign depends on the year and even the hour you were born. Tap your day to find out which side of the line you landed on.

The Sagittarius in you

Sagittarius season carries the year toward the longest night in the north, like a fire lit against the dark. You are a seeker at heart, happiest with a packed bag and a big question. Your honesty can be startling and your optimism is catching, and people walk a little further down the road because you believed it was worth it.

How common is Sagittarius?

In US birth records from 1994 to 2014, 7.93% of babies were born under Sagittarius, about 79 in every 1,000. That makes Sagittarius number 11 of 12, where 1 is the most common.

Why the dates move

Our calendar counts 365 days, but the Sun takes about 365 days and 6 hours to come back to the same point in the sky. So each year it crosses into Sagittarius roughly six hours later than the year before, until a leap day pulls the calendar back into step. That is why the first and last days of every sign can belong to either side.

Between 1930 and 2050, Sagittarius season begins as early as November 21, 2048 at 15:32 and as late as November 23, 1931 at 06:24, Greenwich time.
