Born on July 1

Cancer

When nobody else will go first, you do, and then you hold the door open for everyone coming behind you.

Leave a group holiday to them and the decisions are made by lunchtime: where to stay, what to see, who gets which room, and nobody ends up with the lumpy bed.

Born on the 1st, they’re full of ideas nobody else had and perfectly happy with time to themselves. Independence and care fit together easily in them: a morning alone with an idea, then an afternoon helping you with yours.

By teatime on the first day, their plain hotel room is cosy: a lamp moved, a blanket on the chair, a few flowers in a glass. Wherever they’re staying, a visit to them ends with you feeling fussed over.
