What the Sun in Libra Means
The Sun represents identity, vitality, purpose, and the season everyone is living through. In Libra, those themes take on a relational, diplomatic, fair-minded, and aesthetic quality. The Sun's sign sets the collective season. Whatever it moves through tends to feel important, visible, and worth spending energy on.
The Sun spends about 30 days in each sign and moves through the whole zodiac in one year. It never turns retrograde, so its sign changes on nearly the same dates every year, give or take a day.

Why Do Some Sites List a Different Date for This Sign Change?
Most astrology sites print a single date without a time zone. An ingress at 10:49 PM in New York is already the next day in London and Sydney, so two correct sources can disagree by a day. Selfgazer gives every time in both US Eastern time and UTC, and the tables switch to your own time zone in the browser.
