Born on January 13

Capricorn

A tangled problem goes into your hands and comes out as a plan with a start date. Determined, thorough, and drily funny.

Tangled jobs are their favourite kind: the tax form, the flat-pack with half the instructions missing, the club accounts nobody has balanced since spring.

They work through each one carefully until it’s right, and they pick up a new skill most months, from the guitar to bookbinding. Born on the 13th, they’re very hard to put off once they’ve decided a thing is worth doing.

Big goals suit them, reached at a steady pace, and they love a stalled plan with some life left in it. Hand them yours and watch it get going again.
