The year-by-year table, 1940–2030
Times are universal time — convert your birth time before reading your year.
Ask five sites what sign September 22 is and you’ll get five confident answers that don’t agree. The honest answer depends on the year. This date sits against the Sun’s crossing from Virgo into Libra — the September equinox — and the table above is the actual record: in about seven years of every ten since 1940, the whole day belongs to Virgo, while in the rest the crossing lands partway through the day, so a birth late enough comes out Libra. No year hands this entire date to Libra — but plenty of individual September 22 birthdays are Libran, decided by the hour.
One day, two answers
The two signs meeting here run a clean handoff of theme: late Virgo perfects the thing; early Libra perfects the relations around it. A Virgo Sun at the last degrees is discernment distilled — exact, useful, hard to fool. A day-one Libra Sun is the level dropped onto the year’s balance point: fairness as a first instinct, the other side of the argument always audible. People born on this date, whichever side of the line, tend to describe both — the critic’s eye with the diplomat’s delivery, quality control with a courtesy layer.
Bonding across the boundary
In love this blend is the improver who doesn’t bruise: attentive to what could be better, careful about how the observation lands, quick to flag unfairness in either direction. It bonds through usefulness and through conversation, and does best with partners who take both seriously. At work the mix is genuinely valuable — editing plus diplomacy, standards plus stakeholder patience, the reviewer teams request by name.
The verdict that waits
The shared friction: neither side wants to close the case. Virgo keeps gathering evidence; Libra keeps hearing appeals. Decisions on this date can enter permanent deliberation — thorough, balanced, and unmade. The growth is a verdict habit: pick the deadline before the analysis, and let “decided” count as a quality of its own.
So check the table above for your birth year first. If yours is one of the split years, the birth chart calculator computes the Sun’s exact position for your birth minute — Virgo or Libra, settled for good.
The date, answered
What zodiac sign is September 22?
Virgo or Libra — this date sits on the boundary. In 65 of the years from 1940 to 2030 the whole day belonged to Virgo; in 0 it belonged to Libra; in 26 the Sun crossed over during the day. The year table above gives your answer, and a birth chart settles it to the minute.
What time does the sign change on September 22?
In years when the ingress lands on September 22, it falls between 11:45 and 23:55 universal time. In the other years the whole day is one sign. Convert your birth time to UTC before reading the table.
Which sign should I read?
Check your birth year in the table. If your year is a split year, the deciding fact is your birth time converted to universal time — or skip the table and compute your chart, which reads the Sun's exact degree for your birth moment.
What degree is the Sun on September 22?
