The short version
If you were born October 3 to 12, you are Libra with Aquarius cool: charming and fair, now original and a touch detached. You are the most idealistic, principled, independent Libra, drawn to fairness on a bigger scale.
What makes Libra decan 2 different
All three Libra decans share the same core, but yours carries a second influence: Aquarius, ruled by Saturn and Uranus. That sub-ruler does not replace your Libra nature, it colors it, which is why a Libra born October 3 to 12 can feel noticeably different from one born earlier or later in the sign.
Libra decan 2 in love
In relationships, this is the Aquarius-flavored Libra. You want a partner who is also a friend and who respects your need for some space.
The shadow side
You can intellectualize feelings and keep a quiet distance even when close. Knowing the pattern is the first step to not being run by it.
The dates in this decan
Libra decan 2 covers these birthdays: October 3, October 4, October 5, October 6, October 7, October 8, October 9, October 10, October 11, and October 12. These boundaries shift by a day or two from year to year as the Sun moves, so if you were born right at the edge, your exact birth chart is the only way to know for certain which decan, or even which sign, you fall in.
Famous people born October 3 to 12
Famous people born October 3 to 12 include Susan Sarandon, Alicia Silverstone, Liev Schreiber, Bruno Mars, Matt Damon, Sigourney Weaver, and John Lennon. Sharing a decan with someone is a fun footnote, not a personality verdict; your Moon, rising, and the rest of your chart are still entirely your own.

Why this is your sun-sign baseline, not your full chart
Your decan sharpens the picture, but it is still only the Sun. Your Moon (how you feel), your rising sign (how you meet the world), and your Venus and Mars (how you love and act) can change everything.
