Born at this point in Aries season
Born in the early days of Aries, this person starts things before the plan is finished. Mars gives a quick hand and a loud voice. A new project arrives with plenty of heat, and the first week feels like proof of something important. Then the dull middle shows up, and the pull toward the next beginning grows stronger. Staying with the unglamorous part is the lesson this early fire keeps offering, and it is one they can choose to learn.
