October 24 zodiac sign: Scorpio
The October 24 zodiac sign is Scorpio at midday in every year from 1930 to 2029 — but not at every hour: in 18 of those 100 years a birth early in the day (UTC) had the Sun still in Libra.

Where in Scorpio this falls
October 24 falls on day 2 of the Mars decan (October 23–November 2, 2026).
- Scorpio at midday UTC
- Sign changed during the day (UTC)
- 2026
Scorpio at midday UTC in all 100 years, but in 18 of them — 1930, 1931, 1934, 1935 … 1971, 1975, 1979 — the Sun changed sign during October 24 itself (UTC), so a birth in the first hours of that day could still be Libra.

Mars pushes the sign toward friction and initiative — the part of it that acts before it checks. In its first ten degrees Scorpio shows in its rawest form: Libra has only just handed over, and nothing of the new sign has worn down yet.

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 11 with 12 years; every other number turns up in 11 years. And this date can carry a master number: 11 in 12 of those years — kept whole rather than reduced. Why 11, 22 and 33 are treated differently →
Why the answer almost always holds
October 24 sits 1 day past the start of Scorpio and reached 1°05′ this year — close enough to the start of the sign that the hour starts to count: in 18 of those 100 years a birth early in the day (UTC) had the Sun still in Libra. At midday it is Scorpio in every year tested, so on this date the question worth asking is the birth time, not the birth year.
