Born at this point in Pisces season
A person born in the last days of Pisces feels the season closing before anyone else does. Mid-March brings a sense that a long, dreamy stretch is wrapping up, and that can make choices feel more urgent than they are. Picture someone who has spent months drifting between plans, finally sitting down to commit. They pick the practical option, then keep glancing back at the one they let go. Both feelings are honest, and the tension between them is simply part of how this person moves through the world.
