Learn about Libra- Scorpio Cusp Signs and discover what happens when the Element of Air mixes with the Element of Water
Characteristics of those born on the
Libra Scorpio Cusp
Known as: The Cusp of Drama and Criticism
Firstly, what does “Born on the Cusp” Mean? According to the Cambridge English Dictionary the definition of “cusp” is:
the dividing line between two very different things
So, in this case the Cusp is the dividing line between the Zodiac Signs of Libra and Scorpio. The personalities of the Scales and the Scorpion are very different, as is the case of all the star signs who follow each other in the Zodiac Wheel.
As someone who is herself Born on the Cusp (Taurus-Gemini), I know first-hand how this can lead to a lot of internal conflict. Read on to see what I mean!
Libra Scorpio Cusp Dates
October 22 to October 25
The Sun usually leaves Libra on October 22 or 23. The Sun usually moves into Scorpio on October 24 or 25.
Those born on October 22 are Libra and those born on October 25 are Scorpio.
Those born during the three days of transition can make for a very powerful person. Someone comfortable either being with others or on their own.
Libra-Scorpio Personality
Libra-Scorpio have larger than life, dramatic personalities. They are not afraid of voicing their opinions. This may lead to friction as they annoy the heck out of people who do not appreciate their directness.
Those born on the Libra Scorpio Cusp may prove too hot for some people to be able to handle! However, when you consider their ruling planets of Venus (loving and balanced) and Pluto (obsessive and compulsive), it is hardly surprising.
These Cusp Signs make for one powerful combination of intelligence, drive, gorgeousness and sex appeal.
Libra brings to the combination their great judgement. Scorpio is very precise. This means that those born during the October Cusp have to be careful of not being seen to want everything their own way.
However, there are inner conflicts. This happens when Libra’s thought and intellect is disturbed by Scorpio’s powerful and very deep emotions. This is because Libra is ruled by the head and Scorpio is ruled by the heart.
Both Libras and Scorpios like to get to the bottom of things and discover the truth. This means that they are happy to look at things from every angle.
Watch out though because this combination can be stubborn!
Libra-Scorpios are determined to see projects through and reach their goal. This means that they will refuse to give up when others have lost interest in a project.
Libra-Scorpio Love Life
The Libra and Scorpio combination makes for a seductive and attractive individual. They have a commanding presence and can be very intense.
Scorpio Libras are happy to be communicative and talkative . They also love social situations.
Libra-Scorpio are willing to be fair and equal in a relationship. However, prospective partners need to be aware that if they allow the Scorpio part of this combination to think they can be in charge all the time, then they WILL take charge.
Negative Characteristics of Libra-Scorpio Cusp Signs
Libra Scorpio Cusp Signs may repress their emotions. This means that they can be misunderstood. However, they can also be sly or manipulative when trying to get their own way.
Scorpio and Libra are both mystical signs that have great depth. However, if they are not careful their passionate natures could get them into trouble.
You may also be surprised to hear that Libra-Scorpio can be lazy. This despite enjoying challenging pursuits, particularly outdoors!

I’m born Oct. 19th & I feel like this describes me so well. I’m obsessed with Scorpios . My dad is a Scorpio. The love of my life soon to be husband is also a Scorpio, he was born Oct. 27th. My bestfriend who introduced me to him, also a Scorpio. & My mother is a cancer which is a water sign like the Scorpio. To be a female Libra / Scorpio mix, is like being Aphrodite of the Underworld… All I want is romance power peace & balance.
We share the same Birthday.. I couldn’t agree
With you anymore!!
Hello Queen!
I apologize for the VERY late response.
I was born October 19th too!
Soul sister, high five!
I swear I always knew I couldn’t just be a Libra.
After getting an astrology reading from an a renowned astrologer from the UK, I was like “Finally! My horoscope actually makes sense!”
Best wishes for you, your husband, and your family!
born on the cusp of drama and criticism … A very typical libra-scorpio (October 22)… highly sarcastic, dramatic and very critical ….
I’m a Libra-scorpio man and I work so hard and constantly talk people up and down but honestly maybe excessively. I am very well suited as a businessman and not the best looking man but even really cute girls are attracted to me. Except certain signs lol. I’m a shop owner / mechanic and always have 5 plus cars and always wondered why I was so decisive and strong but diplomatic at same time. I just found out Oct 21st means I’m a rare cusp sign that is super successful…
Yes, 10/21 here! We have a natural magnetism that draws people…like a moth to a flame
21 october here also so yeah im pretty much libra-scorp as my friend jodie shes a scorp-saggie (19th nov) so we have mutual understanding her and i hense she was my ex gf lol 😉
Hello, I am a Libra, born on the cusp of Scorpio, October 23rd. I have to read both horoscopes, but I once went to a psychic who said I am mostly Libra. I am trying to determine my compatibility with a Libra man. This is cool stuff.

This is very good to know. My mom is a scorpio and my dad is a Libra so I have always wondered which sign I am. I guess I’m both! That’s awesome. This explains me so well
Your sign is based on your birthdate, not on the combination of your parents’ signs.
That is not how it works. At all.
October 21 here!
heyy..october 21 here too!
10/22 Libra Scorpio Cusp Female…let’s just say we are so complicated…I still can’t find anything to better describe us in a more depth…because honestly we’re a mystery to the world…and ourselves lol
I was born on the 22nd too and I couldn’t agree more, definitely the worst part is being a mystery to our own selves. Also, anyone who doesn’t get to know me on a personal level seems to absolutely hate me.
I’m October 23rd. I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD and I honestly believe it’s just the fact I’m a cusper. I have so many traits of both. I really talk a lot but I’m not a gossip. I’m pretty secretive with my friends’ information and innermost thoughts.
This is really interesting to know! Thank you for writing this 🙂
Having a mix of two signs seems to have benefits but also a few drawbacks though. What you said about having strong urges of obsession and compulsion, so does this mean that someone born at this time could be more prone to OCD?
Thanks
Hi Jenny, to be honest I am still delving deep into the characteristics of the Cusp Signs and, as for an invisible condition like OCD, I could not say. Sorry 🙁
Well…from a psychological point of view, OCD, along other psychological disorders, are attributed to many factors. Some may have a stronger risk of having OCD than others. This intense, opposite push/pull that all cusps feel, especially any cusp that involves an extreme sign, will always face challenges. A cusper may be prone to certain psychological disorders, just as a non-cusper may be prone. There is a lot behind a diagnosis of a pyschiatric disoder, such as schizophrenia, OCD, depression, etc. One’s place in the zodiac may, or may not, directly affect mental/emotional stability. I, of course, am approaching your question from a very scientific point of view. I hope this helps a bit.
Hi Elaine, Thanks for your reply. It’s an interesting one, I think there may be some kind of connection with OCD, but I’m not sure what it could be. Thanks again.
Best wishes,
Jen

Hi Everyone! I am a Libra-Scorpion cusp and was wondering if anyone can tell me if I am compatible with Scorpion since I have a lot of Scorpion in my chart
Hi, we have a page on Scorpio Cusp signs, which will help you 🙂
Well, the attraction to Scorpio can be completely understood.
You are attracted to to that part of who you are deep beneath the surface.
Your compatibility with a Scorpio can really depend.
You might find sparks flying and perhaps a real connection on a mental/emotional/physical level, in addition to an interesting (or downright hectic) conflict between your dual Libra/Scorpio personality and a Full Scorpion personality, or the Part Scorpio-Full Scorpio parts of your personality can clash. I’d recommend giving it a shot. You won’t know until you give it a try :), and maybe you two will really hit it off. I am a Libra-Scorpio cusp as well, and have always found other Scorpios very tempting.
Definitely defines me Oct 25th. I know I rub people the wrong way at times because I can’t let things go unfolded or misguided. I’m misread and often catch women rolling their eyes at me and men staring. Sad but I try to keep my opinions to myself even when I know I’m right.
