You were born on the Libra-Scorpio cusp, but your sun sign is officially Libra. You’re social, critical and have a penchant for drama.
That doesn’t mean that you’re harsh or overly moody. You just like to analyze situations and be part of the party. You can get carried away sometimes.
Although Libras are governed by the planet Venus, which is all about love, the October 20 zodiac was born in the third decan of the sign. You have some influence from Mercury, which boosts your wisdom and communication skills.
You Have the Power of Words
Communication is your primary strength for many reasons. You are an air sign, which gives you an active mind and a quick, clear tongue. Like the air, your brain is always moving, seeking knowledge and connecting with others via interesting discussions.
Although other Libras have communication as a strong suit, yours is amplified by the influence of Mercury. Your birthday falls in the third decan of Libra.
A decan is a subdivision of a sun sign. All astrological signs are separated into three decans of 10 degrees each. The October 20 zodiac falls within 20 to 30 degrees of Libra. Mercury rules the third decan of Libra and Capricorn.
You might be familiar with Mercury because many people are aware when it goes into retrograde. When Mercury is in retrograde, the planet moves backward through its astrological path. When this happens, life doesn’t feel smooth. Things feel confusing, and it seems as though everything is thrown out of alignment.
The opposite happens for the October 20 zodiac, who is influenced by this planet’s power. Life seems to run smoothly for you much of the time. Mercury helps you have clear communication. It is the planet of words and spellcasters.
Mercury is a messenger, but it can also be portrayed as a trickster. This represents your mental path. You often make decisions based on logic and reason. However, intuition and inspiration can sway you.
You Can Easily Burn Yourself Out
You are a person of many talents. The theme of your decan is honing the intellect. Sometimes, your mind is so analytical that you reach a point of exhaustion.
As someone born on October 20, you need to take care of your mental health. Even though you try hard to keep it together, you might feel like you’re falling apart in times of stress.
You may be drawn to help others more than yourself. You
