Birthdays / November

Born on November 15: Chinese zodiac and element

Every November 15 birthday falls in a Water solar month of the Four Pillars (BaZi) calendar. Your zodiac animal, year element and Day Master depend on the year, so the table below works out all three for every year from 1950 to 2026.

November 15 by year

Day Master is the element of the day pillar, the character classical readers treat as “you”. Worked out with the 60-day ganzhi cycle and exact solar-term times; the year in this table is taken at noon, so on 3–5 February the year can change during the day itself.

What a Water month means

Charts born in a Water month start with extra Water in the count. Tradition reads a strong element as a flavour, not a verdict. If your chart turns out light on Water, its balancing colors are black, navy blue. Run the calculator to see your own count across all five.
