The sun spends a month in airy Libra before swimming into watery Scorpio on October 22 or 23 of every year. You may identify as a “Libra-Scorpio cusp” if your birthdate is within a few days of these dates.
Planets can only be in one zodiac sign at a time, so even if you were born in the very last minute of Libra season, you are still very much a Libra sun. However, just because you were born close to one of the sun’s zodiacal ingresses doesn’t automatically make you a combination of two signs. Someone born on the Libra-Scorpio cusp can still have a significant amount of both energies present in their birth chart. There is a good likelihood that a late-October Libra would have some Scorpio planets in their horoscope since planets like Mercury and Venus often move near to the sun in the zodiac (or vice versa for an October Scorpio). Someone who exhibits both Libra and Scorpio features, or what some could refer to as Libra-Scorpio cusp traits, might be the result of this.
All signs of the zodiac may sense the changing energies as the sun passes through this area of the sky, regardless of whether or not a person was born close to the Libra-Scorpio equinox. Since Libra season usually starts on the day of the autumnal equinox, it aids us in finding equilibrium and establishing social bonds as we set out on our autumnal trip. However, after the sun enters Scorpio, we tend to become more contemplative, and the casual connections we had throughout the Libra season have a potential to develop into more close-knit relationships. Each planet’s trip through the zodiac is represented by a path, and the energy of the Libra-Scorpio cusp invites us to develop trust with those close to us as we enter the heart of autumn.
Although being a cusp sign isn’t really an astrological notion, if you were born close to the sun’s shift between the two signs, you may still have a lot of Libra and Scorpio zodiac energy in your chart. If so, recognising the characteristics of the Libra-Scorpio cusp might help you identify your most distinctive attributes.

Relationships are prioritised by the Libra-Scorpio cusps.
It’s not surprising that Libras are often quite focused with their one-on-one interactions as they are the sign that is connected with partnerships. Scorpios are emotional water babies who are equally committed to the transforming potential of their interpersonal ties, despite the fact that they are not one of the gregarious air signs. Because both signs understand the value of being able to trust and connect with another person on an authentic level, people with Libra-Scorpio cusp qualities tend to seek out greater intimacy in their relationships and prioritise their bonds.
Cusps From Libra and Scorpio Are Skilful People Readers
Libras are naturally good at reading people and interpreting social cues because they are the sign that represents balance and care about maintaining harmony and avoiding conflicts. Because Pluto, the planet of power, rules the sign of Scorpio, this sign is also skilled at reading a room and gaining the upper hand covertly. Both signs have a sixth sense about people and can see right through a personality façade, despite the fact that their motivations may differ. This is especially true when they are working together.
The Libra-Scorpio Cusps Select How They Appear
Although for different reasons, Libras and Scorpios both have a tendency to be extremely conscious of how they come across to the outside world. Venus, the planet of love and beauty, rules Libra, giving them a strong sense of aesthetics and a desire to please others. Scorpios who are stealthy are extremely private, so they frequently develop a cloak-and-dagger persona to keep people at a distance. The combined energy of the cusp signs of Libra and Scorpio is particularly adept at maintaining a well-maintained and controlled appearance, making them a formidable force.
The Libra-Scorpio Cusps Are Faithful Companions.
If you cross a Scorpio, be prepared to feel the sting of their stinger; yet, if you remain loyal to them, these fixed zodiac signs will stand up for you no matter what. You end up with some of the greatest and most reliable friends you could ever hope for when you combine this energy with that of gregarious and people-pleasing Libra. Libra and Scorpio are on the cusp signs, making them some of the most devoted individuals to have in your camp because of Libra’s inherent fondness for partnerships and Scorpio’s unwavering loyalty.
Cusps of Libra and Scorpio need time to establish trust.
Scorpio’s raw, unfiltered intensity and Libra’s surface-level smoothness might seem like two poles of a continuum, but when combined, these energies both speak to someone who needs to take their time getting to know someone before becoming too exposed. Despite their natural ability to connect with everyone and strike up a discussion, Libras like to gain confidence before engaging in serious discourse. Similar to how occasionally wary Scorpio zodiac signs want complete confidence before they open themselves. Even though getting to know a Libra-Scorpio cusp requires more time and effort, they will ultimately reveal their genuine selves.
