Born at this point in Pisces season
Born in the first stretch of Pisces, late in February, this person comes into the season while its mood is still settling. Their warmth shows up quickly, and so does their habit of carrying other people's worries home. Over time they learn that generosity works better with a clear limit. A friend asks for money again, and they pause before saying yes, then say yes anyway while feeling a small resentment. Later they practise saying no kindly and find the friendship still holds.
