Libra or Scorpio traits

If your Sun is in Libra: You balance. Fairness, beauty and the quality of your relationships shape your decisions, and you can see both sides of almost anything. Your growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.

If your Sun is in Scorpio: You go deep. Surface answers do not satisfy you, and loyalty, once given, is total. A Scorpio Sun is built for transformation: you end chapters fully so the next one can begin.

Signs are computed from the Sun’s position with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, checked against Swiss Ephemeris, for every year from 1900 to 2026. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata. A sign is shown beside a name only when it holds for the whole of the birth date; where it does not, both possibilities are given. How to read a birth chart.
