Born at this point in Sagittarius season
Born on November 28, this person arrives early in Sagittarius, while the season's restless appetite for open roads is still fresh. Questions come before answers. A friend says they start one plan before finishing the last, and they half agree. The hard part is staying with a choice long enough to see what it teaches. Their best days come when a new idea meets someone patient enough to ask what they actually want.
