Sign dates

September 23 – October 22

October 6 falls in the second decan of Libra, with Aquarius (Uranus) as sub-ruler.

Unlike first decan Libras who charm through personal romance, these Libras blend Venus with Aquarius's detached vision, seeking harmony in collective ideals. They demand independence and mental equality in relationships, often challenging norms. While third decan Libras flit with mercurial wit, second decan natives stand apart as analytical observers, disrupting traditions with Uranian rebellion.

Unlike the first decan’s classic taste, these Libras embrace unconventional, futuristic styles that broadcast their uniqueness. They trade the third decan’s adaptable charm for principled directness, prioritizing truth over social ease. Their Venus nature is filtered through Aquarian detachment, making them seem aloof, yet they are fiercely committed to their communities and ideals. As Libra’s radicals, they focus on collective justice rather than personal approval.

Decans divide each sign into three parts of about ten days. Because the Sun does not enter a sign at the same moment every year, people born on the first or last day of a decan may belong to the neighbouring one.
