What these decans are read as
The second decan of Libra is read as carrying a touch of Aquarius and Uranus. The fairness gets a sharper edge. These Libras tend to care about the principle as much as the people, to want freedom inside a couple, and to speak up when a rule makes no sense.
The first decan of Libra is read as Libra twice over, Venus weighing both sides. People here tend to hear the other person out before they have decided what they think. In love they want a real partner, and at work they are the one who stops two colleagues falling out.
What the number 3 adds
Numerology reads a birthday that comes to 3 as the mark of a talker and a maker. It tends to mean an easy way with words, a need to express what you feel, and some trouble finishing what stopped being fun.
