Born at this point in Leo season
Born on July 29, early in Leo, this person arrives at the height of summer wanting to be seen doing something real. Fire and a fixed nature give them staying power, while Saturn's careful edge asks them to check the work before taking a bow. Friends usually notice the steadiness first. The harder lesson is letting praise land without turning every project into proof of their worth.
