Born Today?
A reading for your birthday. Sagittarius season.
I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am.
John Newton
Your Year of the Earned Translation. This is the year your hard-won fluency pays out, the kind that only comes from having fumbled through something first and kept going anyway. A skill you picked up through patient, imperfect repetition finds a new context in the spring, and the fit is surprisingly right. Someone encounters your work and understands it immediately, the way you always hoped they would. By late summer, a thing you once had to translate for everyone around you stops needing translation at all. You simply say it, and the room receives it whole. The stumbling was the education, and the education was always working. Go further with what you learned badly. The year ahead is fluent in you.
