Born on January 5
Capricorn
A new skill takes you an afternoon to pick up, and then you keep at it patiently until it turns into something lasting.
Their tastes are classic and their weekends are anything but. One Saturday it’s a pottery taster, the next a long coastal walk, and they’d rather not repeat a plan if they can help it.
They like space to roam, and they give it too: friends are free to come along or sit one out, and either way they’ll make sure there’s supper waiting when the day is done.
Their advice is practical and tested, and it usually comes with a story from one of their outings, told well enough that you’ll want to go and try it yourself.
