When does Libra start and end?

Libra season begins on September 23 and ends on October 22. You may see the dates listed a day earlier or later on other sites, and that’s not an error — the Sun doesn’t change signs at the same clock time every year, so the exact start and end can shift by about a day depending on the year and your time zone. For almost everyone, the September 23 to October 22 range is exactly right. If your birthday lands on the very first or very last day, read the cusp section below.

Were you born on the Libra cusp?

Born right at the edge of Libra? Then you were born on a cusp — the changeover point between two signs. The first day of Libra (September 23) sits on the Virgo–Libra cusp, and the last day (October 22) sits on the Libra–Scorpio cusp. Astrologically there’s no such thing as being “half and half,” though — you are still fully one sign or the other. The only way to know for certain is to check the exact moment the Sun changed signs in your birth year, because a birthday on the boundary can fall under either sign depending on the year and the hour you were born. If you were born on September 23 or October 22, a quick birth-chart lookup will settle it for good.

The three decans of Libra

Every sign is divided into three decans of roughly ten days, each with a sub-ruler that adds its own flavour to the core Libra personality. Here’s where you fall:

  • First decan (September 23–October 2): the purest expression of Libra, doubly ruled by Venus — the most classic Libra traits.
  • Second decan (October 3–12): shaded by Aquarius (sub-ruled by Uranus and Saturn), adding an Aquarius twist to your Libra core.
  • Third decan (October 13–22): shaded by Gemini (sub-ruled by Mercury), adding a Gemini twist to your Libra core.

Libra personality in brief

As a air cardinal sign ruled by Venus, Libra is charming, fair-minded, and diplomatic — devoted to balance, beauty, and partnership. That’s the short version — for the full breakdown of Libra traits, strengths and weaknesses, love and compatibility, the Libra man and woman, career, and mythology, read the complete Libra zodiac sign guide.
