How to Identify Your Decan
This decan covers 10° up to but not including 20° of Libra.
Use your Sun's tropical sign and degree to identify its decan. Calendar dates are approximate; your birthday alone may not settle a boundary placement. If your birth time is unknown, a representative position near a boundary may leave your decan uncertain.
This collection uses modern triplicity: sub-rulers follow the signs of the same element. Other systems, including Chaldean decans, assign different rulers. The descriptions below are interpretive traditions, not measured personality traits. Compare the decan methods at Astrodienst.
Uranus electrifies Libra's diplomatic nature with Aquarian independence and progressive vision. Second decan Libra natives are the social reformers — they care about justice not just in personal relationships but on a societal scale. Their sense of fairness extends to collective issues: equality, human rights, and systemic change. They balance Venus's desire for harmony with Uranus's need to disrupt what is unjust.
How This Decan Differs
Uranus adds intellectual independence and progressive values that pure Venus does not provide. Second decan Libra is more politically engaged, more iconoclastic, and more willing to disrupt harmony in service of justice.
