Born at this point in Leo season
Born in the early days of Leo, this person came into the season while summer still felt like a stage that had only just lit up. Their warmth shows up in small acts, like remembering a friend's order or holding a door, but they also want those acts noticed. A familiar moment: they spend an evening planning a gathering, then feel a sting when only a few people thank them. The pull toward being seen and the wish to be helpful rarely line up neatly.
