October 23 is a changeover day. At noon UTC across the 41 years from 1992 to 2032, the Sun was in Scorpio in 26 years and Libra in 15 years.
The Sun moved from Libra into Scorpio on October 23 in 36 of those years. The latest time in this span is 23 October 2031 at 14:49 UTC. That minute shifts from year to year, and a birth city changes which clock time it falls on.
Scorpio usually runs October 23 to November 21. It is a water sign, ruled by Pluto. Libra is the sign just before it. Private, intense, slow to trust and slower to forget.
The constellation behind the Sun on October 23 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.
