December 11 is susceptible to colds and things and my goodness don't they go on about it. Many born at this dark turn of the year have a tendency to go down with things, but Sagittarius recovers quickly and nearly always goes on to live an exceptionally long and vigorous life. As does this little jam tart. It's just that they like to go all sticky when their pastry isn't perfect. And maybe they also have a taste for being looked after. In particular male December 11 needs pampering to a high degree, even when he's well. He sees himself as a racehorse and his partner as the owner/stable girl, there to provide him with protein-enriched, healthy, slimming foods, and constant exercise followed by rub downs. If he performs well, December 11 also expects a sweet treat and a great deal of nuzzling. Not surprisingly quite a few business magnates who behave like this are born on December 11.
Girls born today take a lot of time off and talk endlessly about which stage their particular bug has reached. They ruin dinner parties and children's outings by virtuously declining to go at the last minute because others ‘won't thank them' when they catch whatever it is. In summer they talk darkly of nuclear reactions to wasps and are always searching for ants in their pants. Really and truly it's best to keep December 11 away from the country because they think it's packed full with danger. And if they stepped on a cow pat you'd never hear the end of their worries that Mad Cow Disease might have travelled through their shoe and up their leg to the brain.
Travel is a problem for December 11 because they think they're going to get ill and often do on plane, car, boat or train. But when they're not discussing all of this, and can be diverted with a good bottle of wine, they are imaginative and fun.
In an intimate relationship you long for the emotional security of a committed partnership. However, you also require a certain amount of freedom and independence. You get bored and restless if you stick close to home for very long. Your ideal mate is someone who understands the duality of your Sagittarian temperament and either supports or shares your love of travel and adventure. In a loving union, you make an affectionate, generous romantic partner. You’re exciting and full of fun, yet also reliable and dependable.
Because you dislike disagreements, you are usually the first one to make up after an argument.
For you, a love relationship must be challenging and interesting. Moreover, you expect to share a passionate bond with your significant other. You relate to your partner on many different levels. Your ideal mate is your best friend as well as your ardent lover. Sexually, you’re something of a free spirit. You detest dull routine and like being able to make love when the mood seizes you. Yet despite your breezy, laid-back public persona, in an intimate relationship you can be demanding and more than a little possessive.
December 11 sometimes believes that he or she has inherited ill health. Mostly it's nonsense. Alleviate this state of mind by taking one of the Bach Flower remedies especially designed by Dr Edward Bach to cure this feeling. Wild Rose (Rosa caninaj, is for people who murmur ‘It's in the family' about minor ailments or depression. And for those who bore others by failing to turn up to events. (The frantic manager-type may be a nervous reaction to the same set of preoccupations.) After taking Wild Rose people report a more outward-looking approach, feelings of joy strength and hope.
You’re an outdoor as well as an indoor person, so the lover who enjoys camping trips, nature walks, and picnics in the country scores lots of brownie points with you. Skinny-dipping at the beach or unwinding in front of a campfire, and then making love under the stars, is a real turn-on for you, as is escaping to a romantic inn or a rustic lakeside camp.
Lucky precious stones for this day are topaz, amethyst and sapphire. The amethyst is a supposed remedy for headaches, the sapphire gives protection from ill wishers and guards chastity. And the topaz traditionally averts asthma and encourages faithfulness.
Philosophical by nature, you can be a bundle of contradictions. As a fire sign native you’re impulsive, but just when it seems that you’re going to spring into action, you stop to procrastinate and question your own actions.
