September 22 decan (Tradition)

In the triplicity system of decans, a tradition, September 22 falls at the end of the third decan of Virgo (20 to 30 degrees), ruled by Venus, or the start of the first decan of Libra (0 to 10 degrees), ruled by Venus, depending on the year and hour.

The older Chaldean system of decans assigns different rulers.

A note on September 22 birthdays

September 22 sits on the Virgo Libra cusp, the last of Virgo's 31 days, reaching 28.3 to 30.0 degrees before Libra opens its own range at 0.0 to 0.7 degrees the day after. This site's points method still credits Taurus and Capricorn with an 8 point trine to this Virgo, and Cancer and Scorpio with a 5 point sextile. Even on this cusp, Mercury still rules the sign just ending, and this tradition ties that rulership to plain talk and steady notice in love.
