About the 3rd Decanate of Libra

The 3rd decanate of Libra (October 14 - October 22) is sub-ruled by Mercury. This means Mercury's energy colors your Libra Sun, adding a distinctive flavor to how you express your sign's core qualities. Each sign is divided into three decanates of 10 degrees each, and your decanate ruler acts as a secondary influence that makes your birthday unique within the broader Libra archetype.

Your Sun sits at approximately 27° Libra. The specific degree can shift by a day depending on the year you were born, since the Sun's exact position varies slightly from year to year. For a precise degree, calculate your full birth chart.
