Born at this point in Aries season
Born on April 9, near the far edge of Aries, this person arrives at the sign's threshold with energy that wants to move. Plenty of the impulse is there, but so is a habit of checking the ground before stepping. Many days they start things quickly and then wonder whether finishing them matters as much. Friends who know them see a bold spark paired with a question about what comes next. That pull between beginning and staying is their own to work with.
