Born on February 4

Aquarius

Half the good things your friends build start with you: an honest word, a clever fix and a plan that holds.

They do the crossword in pen, which tells you most of what you need to know: they’re straightforward, they put in the work, and they enjoy figuring out how a thing fits together.

Things get built on them, and being born on the 4th adds a practical touch with plans and with their hands. They collect useful know-how wherever they go and hand it out freely.

There’s plenty of mischief in them too, the delightfully odd sort, so all that steadiness comes with jokes. A shelf they put up will hold, and so will a promise.
