What does the Sun mean?
Your Sun is the core of who you are: your will, your awareness, the engine that drags you out of bed each morning. It describes how you like to take center stage and the story you tell about yourself. Where it sits in your chart names your basic theme, the part of you that wants to be seen and that every other planet circles.
What does Libra mean?
Libra weighs things and looks for fairness and partnership. It links what used to stand apart and knows by instinct what needs balancing to make a room pleasant. Where Libra is active, someone mediates, something gets designed, a table is set, a contract made fair.

When does the Sun enter Libra?
It happens exactly once a year, though the day moves around a little. From 1900 to 2100 the ingress landed most often on September 23 (55.2 % of years). The earliest date was September 22, the latest September 24.
Blame the calendar. A solar year runs about 365 days and 6 hours, while the calendar counts only 365 and makes up the difference with a leap day every fourth year. So the ingress drifts roughly six hours later each year until a leap year pulls it back.
