What January Ironwork says about the January 1 birthday

You build slowly and you build to last. When the year is young and the light is thin, you find the quiet pleasure of finishing what others abandon. Your work carries weight without noise. Rest matters to you more than you admit, so give yourself the long evening. Connection, for you, is a steady hand rather than a loud room, and that is your real strength.
