Sun in Libra: what it means
The Sun is in Libra from about September 23 to October 22. Libra is a cardinal air sign, ruled by Venus. Air signs work through ideas, words and the links between people. Cardinal signs begin things.
What a Libra Sun is like
Fairness is the lens you look through. Before you form an opinion you have already argued the other side in your head, which makes you a thoughtful listener and a slow decider. You have an eye for proportion, in a room, an outfit or a sentence, and harsh environments wear on you. Much of your life happens in relation to someone else, and you are skilled at smoothing friction. The price is that you may agree out loud and resent in private, then wonder why you feel unknown.
Greatest strength
Two people who are furious with each other can hear what the other meant once you step in.
Where it stretches you
Your stretch is to state a preference early, before you know whether it pleases anyone.
Libra Sun in love
Partnership is central to you, and you are attentive, charming and considerate in it. Avoiding conflict to keep things pleasant can leave real issues unspoken until they have grown heavy.
Libra Sun at work
A good collaborator brings out more in you than a quiet room alone. Negotiating, designing, advising or representing someone else's interests all use your sense of balance.
Is Sun in Libra really yours?
The Sun enters Libra around September 23 and leaves around October 22. The exact minute moves from year to year, so if you were born within a day or two of either date, a calendar cannot tell you which side you are on. A calculated chart can.

What the Sun means in a chart
In a birth chart the Sun describes the centre of your character: what you are working to become, where you want to be seen, and what restores your energy. It is the sign most people mean when they say "my sign". It is also only one of about a dozen points in a chart, which is why two people with the same Sun sign can be so different.
One placement is never the whole picture. A full reading weighs the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign, every planet, the houses they fall in and the angles between them. You can read a complete sample reading to see how the pieces fit together.
