September 23 is a changeover day. At noon UTC across the 41 years from 1992 to 2032, the Sun was in Libra in 40 years and Virgo in 1 year.
The Sun moved from Virgo into Libra on September 23 in 20 of those years. The latest time in this span is 23 September 2031 at 05:15 UTC. That minute is the same tropical crossing the zodiac calculator uses. A birth city changes which clock time it falls on.
Libra dates are September 23 to October 22. It is an air sign, cardinal, ruled by Venus. Virgo is the sign just before it. Fair-minded, social, always weighing both sides.
September 23 sits within two days of a sign change on September 22. 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 September 23 is in the first decan of Libra, the early 10 degrees of the sign. The triplicity sub-ruler of that slice is Venus.
The constellation behind the Sun on September 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.

Questions
What zodiac sign is September 23?
September 23 can be Libra or Virgo. 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 September 23 a cusp birthday?
Yes. A cusp here means the Sun crosses a sign boundary on or near September 23 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 September 23 star sign?
People searching for the September 23 star sign usually mean the Sun sign. On this page that is Libra, an air sign, cardinal, ruled by Venus, in the early decan with Venus as the triplicity sub-ruler. Libra dates are September 23 to October 22. The constellation behind the Sun is a separate fact.
