Born at this point in Libra season
Born on October 7, this person arrives in the middle of Libra, when the season's talk of fairness has settled into real decisions. They like to weigh a choice from every side before they speak. Saturn's influence can make that care feel heavier than it needs to be, so they hold back until they feel sure. Friends who know them see patience and precision, and a steady kind of fairness. Their challenge is letting a decision be good enough, rather than perfect.
