1st decan of Libra: Moon
Each sign is divided into three decans, 10° slices that the Sun crosses in about ten days each. September 26 falls in the first decan of Libra (about September 23 – October 2), which the traditional Chaldean system assigns to Moon. Astrologers say that adds sensitivity, intuition and emotional depth.
The Moon adds a tidal, feeling-led quality, so moods, memory and the need for a safe emotional home matter more than the sign alone would suggest.
The number 26 in numerology

What zodiac sign is September 26?
September 26 falls in Libra, which runs from September 23 to October 22 in the tropical zodiac. The Sun changes sign at a slightly different moment each year, so the boundary can fall a day or so either side of these dates. If you were born close to the edge, your birth year, time and place decide it.
Is September 26 a cusp birthday?
Not by the usual definition, which counts the first and last couple of days of a sign. September 26 is day 4 of Libra season, so it is normally read as a clear Libra birthday.
Which decan is September 26?

What are the birthstone and flower for September?
