Born at this point in Leo season
Born in the final stretch of Leo, this person came into the world as the summer's bright stretch was already winding down. Their instinct is to stay steady and keep the warmth going for others. The hard part is noticing when they have been carrying a room alone and saying so before the fire burns low. A plain request for help, made early, keeps the warmth from turning into weariness.
