Born at this point in Leo season
Born on August 7, this person arrives in the middle of Leo's season, when the summer fire has settled into a steady, reliable glow. Friends lean on them because they keep their word. A promise made in a generous mood can later feel heavy, though, and a quiet resentment can build without anyone noticing. Asking what they want, not only what others need, lets their warmth belong to them as well.
