The night sky on your birthday: November 14
November 14 is day 319 of the year. Here is what the sky holds for everyone born on it — and a way to get the real sky above the exact place and hour you were born.
The Sun's constellation on November 14
On your birthday the Sun stands in front of Libra, even though horoscopes call November 14 Scorpio: the zodiac signs were fixed about 2,000 years ago and the sky has drifted since (precession of the equinoxes). Because the Sun is in Libra, that constellation is hidden in daylight on your birthday: you see it best around six months later.
