Born at this point in Aries season
Born in the early part of Aries, this person arrived while the season was still finding its footing. The first stretch of the sign carries a raw urge to begin, and that urge can show up as a stack of unfinished projects on the kitchen table. Being first to say yes is a real gift in a room that needs motion. The same impulse can leave the follow through to somebody else, and this person has had to learn that finishing counts as much as starting.
