It focuses on impressive appearances, romantic endeavors, leisure activities, speculative ventures, creative projects, relationships with children and lovers, and gestures designed to gain notice and applause.

The Sun in Libra
When the Sun is in Libra, people dust off qualities like devotion, compassion, loyalty, and sincerity. They become more considerate, cooperative, and "nice."

(Or think of themselves as such.) They become concerned with issues like justice and individual rights.

The Sun in Aquarius
This energy focuses its laser lights on abstract concerns like your goals for the future, "making progress," being self-governing and more liberated, advancing humanitarian interests, and dealing with friends and others in your social network.
