What the second decan of Libra is 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.
What the number 5 adds
Numerology reads a birthday that comes to 5 as the mark of a free mover. It tends to mean a low tolerance for routine, a taste for change and travel, and a need for a partner who doesn't keep score of where you were.
