Born on October 22
A cusp birthday. In most years the Sun crosses from Libra into Scorpio during October 22, so people born this day are one or the other depending on the hour. At noon UTC it's Libra in 100% of years.
Libra or Scorpio? Check your year
The Sun's entry into Scorpio shifts by a few hours from year to year. Find your birth year, convert your birth time to UTC, and compare: born before the time shown, you're Libra; after it, Scorpio. Years missing from the list had the crossing on a neighbouring day (the Sun was in one sign for the whole of October 22).

Your sign: Libra (or Scorpio)
The cardinal air sign that lives in relationship and refuses to choose between two goods.
A Libra Sun is built around fairness and the relational fabric. You're allergic to bullies and to anyone who treats other people as means rather than ends. You see all sides — the gift and the curse of your sign — and you're often the person who can name what each side actually wants when everyone else has lost the thread.

Your decan: the third decan of Libra
Each sign is divided into three 10° decans, and each decan has a sub-ruler that shades the sign's core. Degrees 20–30 of Libra belong to Jupiter: where you grow, where you find meaning, and where life tends to be generous to you. Read it as Libra with a Jupiter accent — the air core is unchanged, the emphasis moves.
Four of Swords
Rest · Recovery · Contemplation. The card assigned to this ten-degree slice of the zodiac — a birthday card in the same sense a sun sign is a birthday sign: one lens on the date, not a verdict.

The Sun is one placement out of ten. Your Moon sign changes every two to three days, so Libras born on October 22 in different years have different Moons; your rising sign changes every two hours and needs a birth time and place. Those two carry most of what people mean by "personality" in a chart.

Common questions
Is October 22 Libra or Scorpio?
Both are possible. On October 22 the Sun moves from Libra into Scorpio in most years, at a time that ranges from 21:13 UTC to 23:45 UTC UTC across 1980–2030 (in some years the crossing falls on the neighbouring day). Convert your birth time to UTC and compare it with the crossing for your year in the table above — before it you're Libra, after it Scorpio.
What zodiac sign is October 22?
October 22 is a cusp day between Libra and Scorpio; at noon UTC it falls in Libra in 100% of years between 1980 and 2030. Your birth year and hour decide it.
What decan is October 22?
The third decan of Libra (20°–30°), sub-ruled by Jupiter. Decans divide each sign into three 10° slices; the sub-ruler adds a second flavour to the sign's core — here where you grow, where you find meaning, and where life tends to be generous to you.
What tarot card is October 22?
In the Golden Dawn system each decan has a minor arcana card: for the third decan of Libra it is the Four of Swords (rest, recovery, contemplation). It's a birthday card in the same way a sun sign is — one lens, not a verdict.
Does everyone born on October 22 have the same chart?
No. They share the Sun in Libra or Scorpio, but the Moon changes sign every two to three days, the rising sign every two hours, and the outer planets by year. Two people born October 22 in different years can have almost nothing else in common in their charts.
