Core tendency
The Sun governs identity, vitality, the core of the self. When that energy passes through Libra, it shows up gracefully and fairly, in step with the other.
This is why the same Sun can look like an entirely different person from sign to sign. Libra’s element, Air, adds a distance of language and objectivity to this placement.

FAQ
Q. If my Sun is in Libra, does that fix my personality?
A. No. A planet–sign placement is only one piece of the birth chart. Depending on its house and the angles (aspects) it makes with other planets, the same placement can show up very differently.
Q. How do I find my Sun sign?
A. Calculate your birth chart from your exact birth date. The birth-chart guide walks through the reading order, and oiyo.net/en/natal/chart computes it for you.
Astrology is not a science that fixes the future but a symbolic language for self-understanding. A planet–sign placement reads most accurately alongside the whole birth chart (houses and aspects).
