If your birthday is November 2, your zodiac sign is Scorpio. The sign runs from about October 23 to November 21, so the second day of November sits well inside it. There is no cusp question on this date.
What makes November 2 worth its own page is the decan. This is the day many astrologers mark as the start of the second Scorpio decan, and that changes the flavor of the reading.
Why November 2 is Scorpio
The Sun enters Scorpio on October 22 or 23 and leaves around November 21 or 22. November 2 never comes near either edge, so the answer is the same every year. People who search "is November 2 Libra or Scorpio" can rule Libra out. Libra ends on October 22 or 23.
Scorpio is the eighth sign and a fixed water sign. Fixed means it holds its position once it has chosen one. For the wider picture, see the Scorpio sign guide or yesterday's page on the November 1 zodiac sign.
The second decan begins on November 2
Each sign splits into three decans of about ten days. The first Scorpio decan runs from about October 23 to November 1. The second runs from about November 2 to November 11. The third runs from about November 12 to November 21.
Two systems are in common use. In the modern system each decan borrows from a sign of the same element, so the second Scorpio decan borrows from Pisces. In the older Chaldean system each decan gets a planet, and the second Scorpio decan belongs to the Sun, while the first belongs to Mars. Astrologers do not agree on one method, and the exact edge shifts by a day depending on the source. None of this changes your Sun sign.
A person born on November 2 is often read as Scorpio with a softer edge. The Pisces influence adds imagination and a tendency to absorb other people's moods. The Sun influence in the older system adds visibility and pride. Both readings describe the same person from different angles.
What a November 2 Scorpio tends to look like
The standard description of Scorpio is focused, loyal and private. A November 2 Scorpio usually shares that core and adds a quieter, more sensitive side. They notice mood changes in a room before anyone speaks.
The strength is depth. This Scorpio stays with a project or a person long after others lose interest. The weak point is the same one the whole sign carries: silence. Saying nothing for a long time and then acting leaves friends and partners guessing. For the relationship side, read the guide to Scorpio in love.

Tarot cards for a November 2 birthday
Death is the card most often paired with Scorpio. It stands for endings and change, and it fits a sign that rebuilds itself more than once. It does not mean a literal death.
The Moon also fits, since it covers what is hidden and not yet clear, which matches the Pisces side of this decan. Some tarot readers use the Golden Dawn system, which assigns the Six of Cups to the second Scorpio decan. That card is about memory, old friendships and returning to something familiar.

Using the date well
November 2 falls just after Halloween, when many people turn from celebration to quiet. A simple use of the date is to write down one thing you have kept private for too long and decide whether to share it with one trusted person.
Scorpio does best with a single clear choice rather than a long list. The Scorpio horoscope page reads the day through a tarot card and does not predict events.
