Born at this point in Pisces season
Someone born on March 11 arrives near the edge where one season hands off to the next. Their birthday sits late in Pisces, close enough to Aries that they feel pulled between finishing and starting. A friend asks them to commit to a plan, and they want to say yes to both paths. They spend a week weighing options, then notice the hesitation is the very thing they keep returning to. Standing at a threshold can make settling hard, yet it also gives them a knack for seeing where one chapter turns into the next.
Interpretation, not prediction.
