Scorpio
23 October – 21 November
This birthday is on the cusp. The Sun changes sign at a slightly different time each year, so check the year and time of birth if it matters to you.
How it works
- Western astrology splits the year into twelve signs by the Sun's position. The finder uses the date ranges in our sign profiles.
- The Sun moves into the next sign at a slightly different time each year, so birthdays a day either side of a change are flagged as on the cusp.
- Only the day and month are needed. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.
Example
A birthday on 23 October falls on the first day of Scorpio (23 October to 21 November), so the finder flags it as a cusp date next to Libra.
Frequently asked questions
What star sign is October?
Libra until 22 October and Scorpio from 23 October.
What does born on the cusp mean?
It means the birthday falls on or next to the day the Sun changes sign, so the exact sign depends on the year and time of birth.
Is the Chinese zodiac the same?
No. The Chinese zodiac goes by year of birth, not month. See our Chinese zodiac guide.
