October 24 Zodiac Sign

People born on October 24 are Libra or Scorpio.

Most zodiac date tables put October 24 in Scorpio, but the Sun changes sign at a slightly different moment each year. In 109 of the 201 years from 1900 to 2100 it moved from Libra into Scorpio during October 24 somewhere in the world, and in the other 92 the whole day was Scorpio. So a October 24 birthday can be either sign: the year, the hour and the place decide.

Your birth time and place settle it: your free birth chart shows exactly which sign the Sun was in when you were born.

What Scorpio is like

Symbol: The Scorpion
Element: Water
Modality: Fixed
Ruler: Pluto (traditionally Mars)
Usual dates: October 23 to November 21

Scorpio does not do shallow. A fixed water sign traditionally ruled by Mars and modernly by Pluto, Scorpio is drawn to whatever is real and hidden: the actual feeling under the polite answer, the thing nobody says at dinner.
