October 22 is a changeover day. At noon UTC across the 41 years from 1992 to 2032, the Sun was in Libra in 41 years.
The Sun moved from Libra into Scorpio on October 22 in 5 of those years. The latest time in this span is 22 October 2032 at 20:46 UTC. That minute is the same tropical crossing the zodiac calculator uses. A birth city changes which clock time it falls on.
Scorpio dates are October 23 to November 21. It is a water sign, fixed, ruled by Pluto. Libra is the sign just before it. Private, intense, slow to trust and slower to forget.
October 22 sits within two days of a sign change on October 23. If the birth was late on this date, check the year in the calculator rather than the printed range.
In 2024 at noon UTC, the Sun on October 22 is in the third decan of Libra, the late 10 degrees of the sign. The triplicity sub-ruler of that slice is Mercury.
The constellation behind the Sun on October 22 is Virgo. That is the true place of the Sun in the stars, and it is a separate fact from the astrological sign.
Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, and Mars still need a birth time and place. This page only settles the Sun sign.

Questions
What zodiac sign is October 22?
October 22 can be Libra. The Sun's tropical longitude at noon UTC is the same 30 degree sign the zodiac calculator reports for a 12:00 UTC birth. In some years from 1992 to 2032 the sign changes on this date, so the year and the clock decide. Confirm the minute in the calculator.
Is October 22 a cusp birthday?
Yes. A cusp here means the Sun crosses a sign boundary on or near October 22 in the years we checked. The crossing minute comes from the same engine as the calculator, not from a printed range. Your city and clock can place the birth in either sign. The year table lists noon UTC for each year.
What is the October 22 star sign?
People searching for the October 22 star sign usually mean the Sun sign. On this page that is Libra, an air sign, cardinal, ruled by Venus, in the late decan with Mercury as the triplicity sub-ruler. Libra dates are September 23 to October 22. The constellation behind the Sun is a separate fact.
