Born at this point in Aries season
This person was born late in Aries, when the season's bold fire has already been running for weeks. Starting new projects feels natural, yet finishing them asks for patience that arrives slowly. Pressure to move on can sit next to a real wish to stay with a task until it is done. Living with both pulls is the work of this stage of the sign.
