Country lovers should try to birdwatch only those winged creatures whose sighting brings good fortune. Doves are a happy omen for love and happiness, a cuckoo singing on the right means prosperity, gulls promise a safe journey and swallows promise a birth.
Sun Sign: Sagittarius/Jupiter
Decanate: Sagittarius/Sun; Numbers: 3, 6
Like the evening star, you always notice December 12 first. When 12 lopes into people's lives - it's a long-legged star sign - everybody wants them to stay. They're coated with the glimmering sauce of sex appeal, so let's not pretend the attraction is for great brains or niceness. Niceness and brains never caused this stir.
Only very old ladies and gentlemen can bask in their forcefield of seduction, untouched by the frenzy of the heart and the pull at the pit of the stomach. Of course, they are very often unfaithful, playing the dark fields of the night sky like a brilliant footballer, always up for sale and looking for another potential buyer. December 12 often experiments with people to see how long it takes to hunt them down.
In particular, they flourish in politics and local government, partly because of their verbally persuasive powers and partly because they genuinely adopt a strong, do-gooding line. Vanity may be their weakness, but this doesn't prevent them from excellence and the idealism which is characteristic of Sagittarius. Their search for the true meaning of life can be inspiring to others and thus attractive in itself. But the besotted must never kid themselves that this creature will find the true meaning of life lies in love for another.
Nor is there much nostalgia here. They are upturners of old systems, believing that nothing that has been done the same way for years can't be immediately improved by change. So if they manage a business, expect them to insist on computer literacy. Beyond that, if it's a vacuum cleaner business then all staff, including clericals must know how to assemble the product.
This is also a dogs and horses star, preferably big dogs and horses. Some may breed both, others may race them. Either way, their great pleasure is to wing their way at speed through the countryside accompanied by their animals.
A born entertainer, you have a cheerful nature, a sparkling sense of humor, and a gift for gab that endears you to all types of people. Freedom oriented, you have an attitude toward love and romance that is basically easygoing and relaxed. Too much intimacy and emotion scares the wits out of you. You’re strongly sexed, yet sex alone rarely fulfills you. A romantic partnership works best for you when it’s firmly rooted in friendship and intellectual rapport. As a lover you’re kind, generous, and ardent, but something of a romantic gypsy.
You may be here today and gone tomorrow.
What you care about is friendship, companionship, and the experience of love. You are adventurous in all areas of your life, and this naturally carries over to the bedroom. You refuse to take your erotic activities too seriously.
As far as you are concerned, sex is a game, and an excess of emotional intensity is more of a turnoff than a turn-on. You enjoy expanding your sexual horizons while having lots of fun in bed.
Some stars are sexual hunters, the rest are prey. Are You Jupiter's Huntsman? Tick ‘yes’ where appropriate. Do you 1: Feel intrigued when a member of the opposite sex ignores you? 2: Fail to return telephone calls? 3: Ditto thank-you letters. 4: Inveigle others to shop for you? 5: Ditto taking your clothes to the dry cleaners? 6: Do you queue jump? 7: Find complete strangers attractive enough to contemplate how love with them would be? 8: Have you ever gone out with more than one person at once? 9: Made love with more than one person? 10: Drive too fast? Four ticks or more? You re the huntsman.
The lover who wants to win your heart needs to be able to talk the talk as well as walk the walk. Because you love with your brain as well as your body, nothing turns you on more effectively than a really hot conversation.
Something of a voyeur, you get off on hearing about other people’s sex lives, watching spicy movies, and perusing erotic books.
Country lovers should try to birdwatch only those winged creatures whose sighting brings good fortune. Doves are a happy omen for love and happiness, a cuckoo singing on the right means prosperity, gulls promise a safe journey and swallows promise a birth.
More than anything, you yearn to test uncharted waters, meet interesting new people, and try exciting new things. You actually enjoy being in love almost as much as you enjoy your personal freedom. However, when push comes to shove, you’re likely to choose independence over either love or security.
