Born Today?
A reading for your birthday. Leo season.
I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world.

Your Year of the Unguarded View. This is the year you let people see the real version, the one that exists before the lights come up, and discover it is the most compelling thing you have ever offered. Something you have been softening for other people's comfort finally gets to arrive at full, clear volume in late October, and the room leans in rather than back. A friendship that has been running on pleasantries tips into genuine territory because you say the hard thing with such warmth that it lands as a gift rather than a blow. That particular skill, holding truth lightly enough that it doesn't bruise and firmly enough that it doesn't evaporate, turns out to be your rarest one. The year opens every time you bring it. Go ahead and bring it early, often, and without apology.
