The Sun changes signs at a
particular moment each year, though the exact time and day of
that moment varies within the range of a few days from year to
year. On the year that you were born, the Sun did not enter
Scorpio until sometime on or about October 23. Therefore, your
Sun sign is definitely Libra. In your birth chart, the Sun is at
27 degrees 52 minutes Libra. (One minute = 1/60 of a degree.
There are 30 degrees in each sign. 30 degrees Libra is the same
as 0 degrees Scorpio.)
Now, while the Sun is in Libra
in your chart, other planets are in various other signs in it.
Just like you have a Sun sign, you have a Moon sign, a Mercury
sign, etc.
You have the Sun and Pluto in
Libra. The Sun represents how you form an identity for yourself.
It represents your general vitality, the life force in you.
Pluto symbolizes how we might assert ourselves in a
transpersonal way, in a way that affects many others’ lives.
Pluto represents that part of us that wants to transform
ourselves or the world around us, that wants to do something
“important.” Pluto represents a sense of mission or destiny.
In order to develop what the
Sun and Pluto symbolizes, you should tap into your natural
Libran strengths (social gracefulness, an ability to appreciate
alternative perspectives on the same subject, and use Libran
strategies (aesthetic creation or appreciation, stress
management, social activity) to help you ultimately achieve a
certain degree of harmony. By harmony, I mean bringing separate
parts or elements into some sort of pleasing or elegant
arrangement, whether they’re individuals, groups of people,
aesthetic components (such as colors and shapes), or some other
types of elements. Avoid Libran hazards, such as endless
indecision and sacrificing your integrity for the sake of
keeping the superficial appearance of peace with someone else.
Again, use a Libran approach to
develop a strong sense of identity (your Sun) and to "make your
mark on the world" (develop your Pluto).
Now, while you have the Sun and
Pluto in Libra, you also have the Moon, Mercury, Venus, and
Uranus in Scorpio. That's a big emphasis on Scorpio!
The Moon represents the
emotional and magical aspect of your psyche, your general mood
or temperament. She also indicates the sort of unconscious
emotional needs that motivate your behavior. What matters to the
Sun is how to feel sane. For the Moon, what matters is how to
feel content.
Mercury represents your
intelligence; your transmission of information through speaking,
writing or teaching; and your reception of information through
observation, listening, reading or learning.
Venus represents our aesthetic
tastes and perceptions or how we feel moved when we see beauty,
such as the beauty found in nature. She’s how we relax and have
fun. In addition, Venus indicates how we form and maintain
supportive relationships.
Uranus represents how we become
individuals rather than endlessly repeating only those behaviors
that society has taught us. Through individuation we distinguish
who we are from who everyone else wants us to be. Uranus also
indicates our unique brand of creative genius.
To develop these parts of
yourself, tap into your natural Scorpionic strengths and use
Scorpionic strategies so that you can engage deeply in life, as
if every day were your last. Draw on your instinctive
introspectiveness self-analysis, your intense, focused
attention, your ability to sense other people's motivations. Act
like a detective, a psychologist, a hypnotist, or a sorcerer.
Try to avoid Scorpionic hazards, such as trying to ignore what
you're feeling and becoming compulsive, or dwelling on what
you're feeling and becoming obsessed.
Again, take a Scorpionic
approach to developing and expressing your sensitivity and
imagination (Moon), your intellectual and communicative
abilities (Mercury), your social and aesthetic style (Venus),
and your sense of individuality (Uranus).
Returning to your original
question, your Sun is in Libra, but a lot of your chart lies in
Scorpio, so in a sense you are a hybrid of these two signs. The
more you can find outlets that draw on both your Libran and
Scorpionic nature, the more satisfied you'll be.
For example, you're like a
host, an artist, or a diplomat (with Sun in Libra), who has the
soul of a psychologist, a detective, or a sorcerer (with Moon in
Scorpio). You might become a counselor. That would draw on
Libra's social abilities and feed Scorpio's need to dig beneath
the surface to get to underlying truth. You might paint pictures
or compose songs (Libra) about intense, socially taboo subjects
(Scorpio), to provoke strong reactions and reflection in others.
