September Libra vs October Libra

The ruling planets of the other air signs, Aquarius and Gemini, can influence October Libras. This influence gives them a flair that September Libras don’t have, as only Venus influences September Libras.

Each sign in the zodiac has three subsections. These are known as decans. Most September Libras are in the first decan of Libra. These Libras have the most stereotypical Libra traits.

October Libras are in either the second or third decan of Libra. These are the “Aquarius” decan and the “Gemini” decan.

While they are still Libras, October Libras may have traits more commonly associated with Aquarius or Gemini.

Venus vs Uranus & Mercury

Some of the differences between October Libras and September Libras are due to how planetary rulership works in astrology.

Venus rules the sign of Libra. As mentioned, Libra has three different decans. Each decan has a subruler, in addition to a ruler. The first decan has Venus as both a ruler and subruler.

The second decan of Libra has Uranus as a subruler. The third decan has Mercury as a subruler. This system of rulership and sub-rulership means that multiple planets, not just Venus, influence October Libras.

September Libras have the most typical Libra traits because they only have the influence of one planet. These Libras appreciate beauty, relationships, and art more than October Libras do.

The influence of Mercury can make October Libras extremely chatty. The power of Uranus can give October Libras a rebellious nature as well.

October Libras will still have typical Libra traits, of course. Venus still influences them. They just have an extra flair to them that you won’t see in a September Libra. They have a few extra traits thrown in.

If you ever meet a Libra that seems more like a Gemini or Aquarius, they are probably an October Libra. They tend to express some of the traits of those signs.
