People born on December 15 are among the most upbeat individuals of the year. Once they set their sights on something, however unattainable, they truly believe that they can attain it. This positive, can-do and can-have attitude tends to attract most, if not all, of the professional and personal success their many talents deserve.
As well as being expansive and optimistic in their outlook, they are also blessed with an insatiable curiosity. They delight in discovering new information and in sharing what they have learned with colleagues and friends. Although their curiosity is infectious and their optimism energizing, it is important for people born on this day to consider whether or not the information they are revealing and the sense of possibility they are encouraging are in the best interests of themselves and others. This is because they see the world through the eyes of an optimist, and an optimist doesn’t take into account or protect themselves against the negative potential of a situation. In other words, their plans can sometimes be unrealistic or—worse still—foolish, and their influence on others can be condescending or irresponsible.
Until the age of thirty-five people born on this day will have many opportunities to develop a more practical and realistic approach to life and they need to take advantage of these because optimism can only take them so far. After the age of thirty-six, however, there is a turning point which highlights a growing need for independence, progressive ideas and expressing their individuality. During these years it is vital for them to learn to listen to the advice of others, weighing up the pros and cons of a situation before jumping in over their heads.
Throughout their lives the key to their success will be their ability to recognize and leave behind situations that are unproductive, so that they can invest their outstanding potential in doing what they do best: moving in the direction of progress, while motivating and inspiring others with their invigorating enthusiasm, stunning creativity and can-do attitude.
☆ On the dark side:Uncontrolled, manipulative, foolish
☆ At your best:Energizing, inspirational, popular
December 15 people think big. These expansive personalities let their thoughts run free, even wild sometimes, and recognize few limitations. Yet they have a feeling for power and how systems work such that they can often realize their ambitions. The greatest challenge to them ultimately is that they may not know how to stay at the top in their career or social group, once they get there. Through moral blindness, excessive optimism or overweening pride they can fall from grace. Perhaps they have to leam to be satisfied at whatever level suits them, accept their limitations and make the best of what they have.

December 15 individuals are usually believers in their own good luck. They carry a certain confidence into most situations which is impersonal, less a belief in any specific strength or talents than a general sense of well-being. For the most part, this is healthy but can lead them to misjudge the negative potential of certain situations. December 15 people can be remarkably unconcerned about such dangers. There is a strongly philosophical, perhaps fatalistic side to their character. If they are destined to lose, then so be it. Also, they would often prefer to just walk away from a bad situation than to try to patch it up. For them, starting all over again may be preferable to hanging in there. Sometimes, however, it might be more productive and rewarding for them to hold their cards than to throw in their hand. Therefore, an important challenge to them is to limit their endeavors and to stick to them—refining, polishing, perfecting what they do. They must come to recognize that most who succeed master one area thoroughly before moving on to the next.
