What Sun in Libra Means

If you have your Sun in Libra, that means the Sun was traveling through the sign of the Scales at the time of your birth. The Sun in astrology represents your core identity, ego, and life purpose. Think of it as the central "I am" of your being. Libra is an air sign, known for its focus on relationships, beauty, and balance. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and harmony, this placement suggests that your sense of self is deeply intertwined with your connections to others.
