Libra and Scorpio
October belongs to two signs. Libra, the cardinal air sign ruled by Venus, holds the Sun for roughly the first three weeks, and Scorpio, fixed water ruled by Mars (Pluto in modern astrology), takes over around the 23rd. Dates near the changeover can fall on either side depending on the year and time, so each of those pages carries a computed table.
The first half of the month is Libra at its most typical: sociable, fair-minded, concerned with how things look and how people get on. The middle days add a cooler Aquarian structure, and the third week brings Mercury’s quick talk. Late in the month the mood deepens: early Scorpio birthdays are private, loyal and intense, with little interest in small talk.

Decans here follow the triplicity system: each sign’s first ten degrees belong to the sign itself, the next ten to the next sign of the same element, the last ten to the third. Each decan’s sub-ruler is that sign’s ruling planet. Calculated by Lunonis from the same ephemeris code as our charts (astronomy-engine, checked against Swiss Ephemeris): geocentric, tropical zodiac, true equinox of date. Times are UTC: add or subtract your time zone’s offset, which can move the change to the day before or after.
