Born at this point in Virgo season
Born on August 30, early in the Virgo season, this person arrived while summer still felt warm and the work of the year was only starting to look practical. Their attention runs to details others skip. A friend's offhand comment, a missing step in a plan, a sentence that could be clearer. Some days they are the one who asks what happens next, and that question can be a gift to a team that has stopped asking it.
