What the third decan of Libra is read as
The third decan of Libra is read as carrying a touch of Gemini and Mercury. It is the wittiest Libra and the least settled. People here tend to win arguments by making everyone laugh, to fall for conversation, and to find it hard to pick just one thing when several sound good.
What the number 8 adds
Numerology reads a birthday that comes to 8 as the mark of an organiser. It tends to mean a head for how things run, a wish to be in charge of your own work, and a respect for people who keep their word.
