Two placements of the western sky
Libra Sun, Libra Moon
Your Sun in Libra wants the room to be fair before it's comfortable, and so does the half of you that has to settle before you can rest.
Your Sun and Moon sit in the same sign, which is less common than it sounds. What you want and what settles you are the same thing — so when it's missing, there's no second system to fall back on.

What each half is doing
- The Sun in Libra
- The Sun is what you are building a life around. Yours wants the room to be fair before it's comfortable — that is the air half of the pair, and it is the half other people describe when they describe you.
- The Moon in Libra
- The Moon is what has to be in place before you can rest. Yours can't rest while anyone in the room is upset — the air half, and the one that rarely makes it into the introduction.
How the two of them move
Both halves open things. You start what you want and you start what settles you, so nothing in your week is waiting to be handed to you — and nothing gets finished by anyone else either.
Element says what the two halves are made of. Mode says how they arrive, and here both of them arrive the same way: cardinal. Whatever this pair does, it does at one speed.
What this page cannot tell you
The Sun holds a sign for about a month, so a birth date settles it. The Moon changes sign roughly every two and a half days, so anyone born near a crossover has to check the hour before trusting the Libra half of this page. We would rather say that here than let you carry the wrong Moon around.
This is also one sky out of four. The Shaman reads your BaZi day master, the main star of your Purple Star life palace and the star that owns the Thai day you were born into alongside it, and the reading is what happens where those four disagree. Your Moon does not get a vote in that verdict. It changes the weather inside it.
How the four skies are countedThe same Sun, a different Moon
Eleven other people with your Sun and a different thing keeping them steady.
The same Moon, a different Sun
Same thing settles them. They are building something else with it.
Two placements, computed. The reading crosses four skies.
Your birth date and place settle this much for free. The rest needs your hour, and what all four skies add up to — the crossing, and the argument inside it — is the reading.
