Born at this point in Aries season

Born in the middle of Aries, this person feels the first spark of an idea before most people in the room. Starting comes easily. Keeping the same fire going after the excitement fades is harder, and that gap can leave them annoyed with themselves. Some mornings they wake up ready to quit a plan they chose the night before, then return to it because they said they would. Being quick to begin is a real strength, and it asks for patience in return.
