Born at this point in Aquarius season
Born late in Aquarius, this person reaches the season's edge where the sign's cool detachment bends toward feeling. Saturn gives a steady spine, so they hold a view for a long time before letting it change. When a group settles on an answer they think is wrong, this person stays with the question and tests it alone. The cost is that friends read that quiet as distance when it is careful thought. Being born this close to the next sign keeps the wish to stand apart pulling against the wish to be understood.
