A couple of details.
Which one are you?
Your Sun sign, the one everybody means. If your birthday is on the edge of two, pick the one you were told.
Which two signs?
No birth time needed for this one. If you know the exact moment for both of you, the full synastry reading is far more specific.
The moment, as exactly as you have it.

What do you want to ask?
Your readings
Judge the sheet, not the individual portraits. If they look like they came from different artists, the style lock needs work.
Nothing yet. Readings you open are listed here.
Not indecisive. Aware of more sides than the question allows for, which is slower and looks the same from outside.
The basics
Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac, cardinal air, symbol the Scales, ruled by Venus. Cardinal air begins things at the level of ideas and arrangements rather than at the level of doing them. Its opposite sign is Aries.
When the Sun is actually in Libra
The Sun enters Libra on 22 or 23 September and leaves for Scorpio on 22 or 23 October. There is no single correct pair of dates here. The calendar and the orbit are out by about six hours a year, and the leap day settles that account in arrears.
Computed from the same ephemeris this site uses for its birth charts, here is where it actually fell across the eleven years 2020 to 2030: the 22th in 2020, 2021, 2024, 2025, 2028, 2029 and 2030; the 23th in 2022, 2023, 2026 and 2027. In 2026 the crossing was at 23 September 00:05 UTC.
Virgo comes before it and Scorpio after. On four days of the year the sign here is not a matter of opinion but a calculation, and a printed range cannot do it: the 22nd and 23rd of September, and the 22nd and 23rd of October.
What Libra is actually like
Venus rules Libra, and here it reads as relation rather than comfort: what is happening between two people, whether a room is balanced, whether something is fair. You are measuring that constantly and mostly without deciding to.
Cardinal air means you initiate at the level of ideas and arrangements. You are the one who proposes the plan everybody can live with, and you do it smoothly enough that nobody registers it was done.
You are genuinely good company, and that is a skill rather than a pleasantness. You can tell what a room needs and supply it. The cost is that doing so is automatic enough that you sometimes cannot locate your own preference underneath it.
The part the lists leave out
You avoid the conflict and then carry it. A Libra who has swallowed three things is pleasant, agreeable and quietly assembling a position, and when it finally arrives it comes as a verdict rather than a disagreement, which is far worse for everyone than the argument would have been.
The indecision is not about the options. It is that choosing one means being the person who disappointed somebody, and you will take a very long time rather than be that.
Libra in love
You are at your best in partnership and you know it, which is both the strength and the trap. Being alone is harder for you than for most people, and that has at least once kept you somewhere longer than you wanted to be.
Your risk is agreeableness. You adjust to a partner by degrees, each one reasonable, and end up some distance from yourself without being able to point at the moment it happened.
Your sun sign is not your chart
If the balance part fitted and the harmony part did not, that is worth paying attention to. The Sun is one body out of ten, and it is the only one a date on its own can find.
Your Rising is the version of you that turns up before anybody knows you, which for a sign this concerned with how it lands is worth having, and it cannot be got from a birthday. Your Big Three works out all three, free, and the arithmetic runs on your own device.
Choosing means being the person who disappointed somebody. The hesitation is usually about that rather than about not knowing which option is better.
Are Libra really peacemakers?
They avoid conflict in the moment and tend to carry it instead. That is different from resolving it, and it generally surfaces later as a verdict rather than a disagreement.
What are the Libra dates?
The Sun is in Libra from 22 or 23 September to 22 or 23 October. Both ends move by a day with the year, so a birthday on the 22th or the 23rd of September has to be worked out from the year and the hour rather than read off a table.
What is the opposite sign to Libra?
Aries. The axis runs between what is fair to everybody and what you actually want, and a Libra Sun tends to be far more fluent on the first than on the second.
