Born at this point in Sagittarius season
A person born in early Sagittarius, late in November, usually feels the pull of the next horizon before the current one is finished. Friends notice the restless curiosity first, the habit of asking why and then saying yes to a trip nobody planned. Underneath that, there is a steady wish to be useful to people who stay put. Holding both is the work of a lifetime, and most days it looks like packing a bag while still unpacking the last one.
