October 22 zodiac sign: Libra
The October 22 zodiac sign is Libra at midday in every year from 1930 to 2029 — but not at every hour: in 4 of those 100 years a birth late in the day (UTC) had the Sun already in Scorpio.

Where in Libra this falls
October 22 closes Libra in 2026, inside the Jupiter decan — the Sun moves on to Scorpio at 9:38 AM UTC on October 23.
- Libra at midday UTC
- Sign changed during the day (UTC)
- 2026
Libra at midday UTC in all 100 years, but in 4 of them — 2016, 2020, 2024 and 2028 — the Sun changed sign during October 22 itself (UTC), so a birth in the last hours of that day could already be Scorpio.

Jupiter widens the sign — more appetite, more optimism, and less patience with detail. The last ten degrees of Libra already turn toward Scorpio, which is why this third often reads as the most complicated.

The Moon and nakshatra columns change every year because the Moon returns to the same calendar date in a different position — which is why a birth date alone cannot tell you those, and why this table exists.

The most frequent is 9 with 12 years; every other number, 11 included, turns up in 11 years. And this date can carry a master number: 11 in 11 of those years — kept whole rather than reduced. Why 11, 22 and 33 are treated differently →
Why the answer almost always holds
October 22 sits 29 days past the start of Libra and reached 29°06′ this year — close enough to the end of the sign that the hour starts to count: in 4 of those 100 years a birth late in the day (UTC) had the Sun already in Scorpio. At midday it is Libra in every year tested, so on this date the question worth asking is the birth time, not the birth year.
