Born on September 22
A cusp birthday. In most years the Sun crosses from Virgo into Libra during September 22, so people born this day are one or the other depending on the hour. At noon UTC it's Virgo in 98% of years.
Virgo or Libra? Check your year
The Sun's entry into Libra 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 Virgo; after it, Libra. Years missing from the list had the crossing on a neighbouring day (the Sun was in one sign for the whole of September 22).

Your sign: Virgo (or Libra)
The mutable earth sign that notices everything and refines until it works.
A Virgo Sun has an analytical mind paired with a service orientation — a rare combination. You're the person who actually reads the manual, who notices what's off in the system, who stays late to make sure the thing works the way it's supposed to. You're not loud about it. You just do the work.

Your decan: the third decan of Virgo
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 Virgo belong to Mercury: how you think, learn, communicate, and process information. Read it as Virgo with a Mercury accent — the earth core is unchanged, the emphasis moves.
Ten of Pentacles
Legacy · Wealth · Family. 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 Virgos born on September 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 September 22 Virgo or Libra?
Both are possible. On September 22 the Sun moves from Virgo into Libra in most years, at a time that ranges from 11:45 UTC to 23:55 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 Virgo, after it Libra.
What zodiac sign is September 22?
September 22 is a cusp day between Virgo and Libra; at noon UTC it falls in Virgo in 98% of years between 1980 and 2030. Your birth year and hour decide it.
What decan is September 22?
The third decan of Virgo (20°–30°), sub-ruled by Mercury. Decans divide each sign into three 10° slices; the sub-ruler adds a second flavour to the sign's core — here how you think, learn, communicate, and process information.
What tarot card is September 22?
In the Golden Dawn system each decan has a minor arcana card: for the third decan of Virgo it is the Ten of Pentacles (legacy, wealth, family). It's a birthday card in the same way a sun sign is — one lens, not a verdict.
Does everyone born on September 22 have the same chart?
No. They share the Sun in Virgo or Libra, 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 September 22 in different years can have almost nothing else in common in their charts.
