Born at this point in Aries season
This person was born in the opening days of Aries, when the season has only just started. Fire at this stage shows up as readiness, a wish to act before the plan is fully drawn. Being born at the front edge of a cycle can mean feeling the pull to begin things first and think them through later. The challenge is learning that a quick start still needs a second look once the first rush fades.
