September Libra vs October Libra: Personality Differences

Libra sign rules the period from approximately September 22 until October 23. Depending on the year, these dates might differ, for a day before or after.

Because some Libras are born in September, and some in October, we might wonder whether there are some differences between the personalities of these two types of Libras.

The answer is “yes”, they have a lot of differences.

Besides the similarities that they share, there are some major differences between their personalities.

To answer the question about the different personalities of Libras born in September and those born in October, we must first define decans and talk about the differences in these two types of Libra personalities from that perspective.

What are decans?

Decans are subdivisions of one Zodiac sign. They are a creation of ancient astrologers who divided every sign into three periods of approximately ten days, or 10 degrees per decan since the Sun moves on average one degree per day.

To each decan is assigned a rulership of a different planet, as a secondary ruler to the planet ruling the main sign.

The secondary ruling planets add additional traits to the ruling planet.

Types of Libra according to decans division

The ruling planet of Libra is Venus, and the rulers of the decans are as follows: 0 – 9 degrees of Libra is ruled by Venus and Moon, 10 – 19 degrees of Libra is ruled by Uranus and Saturn, and 20 – 29 degrees of Libra is ruled by Mercury and Jupiter.

1st decan Libra

The first decan of Libra is ruled by Venus and the Moon, and this gives people born within the first decan more emotional and maternal qualities besides their love for the arts and beauty.

Unlike typical Libras, these people might be more home and domestic types, preferring the stability of relationships and home life.

2nd decan Libra

Libras from the second decan have added qualities of the planet Saturn besides the qualities of the planet Uranus, which gives them a dose of stability and structure.

These people are more serious and organized than Libras from the other two decans. Because of these qualities, they make great lawyers or politicians.

Also, due to the influence of Uranus, these people might be quite unpredictable and could also be considered unstable.

3rd decan Libra

Libras from the third decan are additionally ruled by the planets Mercury and Jupiter, and this makes them more optimistic and adventurous than Libras from the other two decans.

They are funny and interesting to be around. They love socializing and learning new things.

Personality differences between September Libras and October Libras

In general, the differences in Libra personalities born in September and October, stem mainly from the decans and their ruling planets.

There are also some significant differences in their personalities depending on how close the birth date of the Libra person is from the previous or next sign.

For example, those born in the first days after the Sun begins transiting the sign of Libra can have some Virgo qualities, because Virgo is the sign that precedes Libra.

Other Libras who are born just before the Sun entered the sign of Scorpio, which is the sign that comes after Libra, can have some Scorpio traits.

September Libras

Libra season starts when the Sun enters the first degree of Libra, after leaving the sign of Virgo.

This usually happens on September 22, but it can also happen on September 23 or September 21 because the Sun moves differently every year.

Libra season coincides with the start of the Fall and usually happens around the Fall equinox which marks the moment when the day and night last the same.

This symbolically represents the beginning of the season of Libra which is the sign of balance and equality.

For this reason, September Libras are more in tune with balance than Libras born in October.

September Libras are also more family-oriented, home, and relationship types. They are also warm and nurturing. We might say they exhibit Cancer traits on many occasions.

September Libras are ruled by Venus, the ruling planet of Libra, but also the Moon, which gives these Libras motherly nature, and makes them more caring and giving than typical Libras.

They have a nature which is very welcoming and caring, and non-typically for Libras, they prefer the warmth of their home to going out and having fun.

People enjoy their company because they are excellent hosts. They know how to make the right atmosphere to make everyone feel welcome and accepted.

This is a general Libra trait; they bring people together. They make others feel comfortable and are very empathic as well.

They tune in to other people’s feelings and know exactly what to say to make them feel better.

People instinctively trust them and open up to them, feeling comfortable speaking about their problems with them.

Because of their traits, these people are often considered peacemakers. They instinctively strive towards restoring balance in relationships between people.

They are also very diplomatic and know exactly what to say to help people resolve their differences. They don’t do it hastily and in aggressively, but quietly and subtly.

Venus influences these Libras more than their October brothers, and this makes them more charming and romantic and kind than Libras born in October.

These Libras genuinely care for others and know how to demonstrate their affection.

They nurture their relationships with other people and make sure they demonstrate their love to their loved ones and friends.

Libras born in September are very romantic and know how to make their partners feel special and loved.

October Libras

Libras born in October belong to the second and third decan, and besides the traits which all Libras share, also have the traits of the ruling planets of their decans, Saturn, and Jupiter.

The second decan which is around October 4 until October 14 is under the secondary influence of Saturn, and the third decan which is around October 14 until October 23 is influenced by the planet Jupiter.

Depending on the exact date of birth, besides general Libra traits, these people exhibit traits like being very structured, organized, diligent, following duties and regulations, being optimistic, intellectual, etc.

Libras born in October, from the 4th until the 14th are often more disciplined and responsible than other Libras.

They are prone to following the rules and being more serious than a typical Libra usually is. They are also very hardworking.

We might say that these people exhibit Capricorn traits in many instances due to the influence of the planet Saturn on this decan.

Those Libras born in the third decan, from around October 14 until October 23, are more adventurous, easygoing, outgoing, funny, intellectual, and prone to learning and making discoveries.

They are not easily settled down and love to be in constant movement. They appear and act a lot like Sagittarius people, due to Jupiter’s influence over their decan.

These Libras are more logical than emotional, unlike September Libras. They seem more realistic and rational and are thus very dependable.

They are not driven by their emotions like September Libras can be.

October Libras are very creative and artistic, but their creativity doesn’t provide just beauty but can provide you with real solutions well.

Unlike the calm and mediatory approach September Libras have, October Libras know how to raise a voice when necessary to fight for the rights of the deprived.

These Libras are very social and have large groups of friends and acquaintances. They are very communicative and easily make friends.

They have a variety of subjects to talk about and it is never boring in their company.

September Libras will often find themselves in the role of peacemakers, seeking situations where they will be mediators to other people.

They most likely won’t try to discover whose side is right in the conflict but will only try to extinguish the fire.

October Libras on the other hand will seek to see justice being served, and although they will also try and help mediate a conflict situation, they will do it in a different manner, gathering all the facts and determining the culprit for the conflict.

They do it with passion and usually don’t give up until they see injustice being amended.

They are also prepared to fight for what they believe in, unlike September Libras who will do whatever it takes to avoid fighting.
