Okay, so the other day I was chatting with a friend, and we got into this whole debate about zodiac signs. My friend’s birthday is on October 22nd, and she’s always identified as a Libra. But then someone told her she might be a Scorpio. Cue the confusion! I decided to get to the bottom of this once and for all.
Diving into the Research
First, I hit up Google. You know, the usual “October 22 zodiac sign” search. The results were a bit all over the place. Some sites said Libra, some said Scorpio, and some talked about this thing called a “cusp.” Cusp? What even is that?
So, I dug deeper. I found out that a cusp is basically when a birthday falls on the transition period between two signs. Apparently, it means you could have traits from both signs. Interesting, but still not a definitive answer.
Looking at the Dates
Next, I checked the specific dates for Libra and Scorpio. Most sources said:
- Libra: September 23 – October 22
- Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
Okay, so October 22nd is right on the edge. No wonder there’s confusion! It seems like, technically, it falls under Libra, but only by a hair.
Considering the Time of Birth
Then, I remembered something important – the exact time of birth matters! Zodiac signs are based on the position of the sun at the moment you’re born. I texted my friend to ask for her birth time. She said it was around 10:00 AM.
I then find an online birth chart calculator. Put her birthday and time on it.
The Verdict
After all that digging, and based on the traditional dates and birth time considered, it is belong to Libra.
It was to conclude which sign that birthday really belong. And it can be useful to some people who are unsure.
