Born at this point in Taurus season
Born in the late stretch of Taurus, this person arrived as the season was already turning toward Gemini. Steadiness comes easily here, but it was built through a slower, more demanding kind of patience. Plenty of people in this position keep promises long after they have earned a rest, and they know how heavy it feels to be the one who stays. Their loyalty is an ownable habit, even when it costs them a little comfort.
