☉ Sun in Libra
Sun in Libra means the sun stood in Libra at the moment you were born. Sun meets libra: core identity — what you are at the centre. It moves through a sign in about 30.3 days, which is short enough for the placement to be personal.

Sun governs core identity — what you are at the centre. In Libra, that function takes on balance, fairness and acute awareness of other people — a Cardinal Air expression ruled by Venus.
Where it strains
Avoids decisions to avoid disappointing anyone, which disappoints everyone eventually.
Reading a placement properly
Sun in Libra describes a function in a style. It says nothing yet about where that plays out — for that you need the house, and the house needs a birth time. A placement read without its house is half a sentence.
