## Questions

### What Sign Is the Sun in Right Now?

The Sun is in Libra right now, at 8°01' Libra as of October 1, 2026 at 04:45 UTC. The Sun entered Libra on September 22, 2026 at 8:05 PM ET (00:05 UTC on September 23) and stays until October 23, 2026 at 5:38 AM ET (09:38 UTC), when it moves into Scorpio.

### What Does the Sun in Libra Mean?

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.

### How Long Does the Sun Stay in Each Sign?

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.

## Method

Positions are geocentric and tropical: apparent longitudes on the true ecliptic and equinox of date, corrected for light time and aberration. They are computed with the open-source Astronomy Engine library (VSOP87 planetary theory) and agree with the Swiss Ephemeris to within about one arcminute. The North Node is the mean node. Times are given in UTC and US Eastern time.
