Born at this point in Aquarius season
Someone born on February 7 arrives in the middle of the Aquarius season, when winter has settled in and the first excitement about fresh plans has become ordinary daily work. They feel pulled between standing apart with their own ideas and belonging to a group that shares them. Friends notice how they can argue a point calmly, then spend the evening helping a neighbour carry boxes up three flights of stairs. Their steadiness can look like distance from the outside, yet they keep showing up for the people they chose.
