People born on December 16 are blessed with a soaring imagination but their logical and objective approach to situations and people ensures that they never succumb to flights of fancy. In fact they have the ability to view everyone and everything in their life with the inquisitive detachment of an anthropologist.
Nothing escapes the scrutiny of these intelligent and sharp-witted people, and when their analytical, logical and determined mind is combined with their imaginative intellectual qualities, they have the potential to engineer far-reaching innovations. Once they have settled on their objectives, they will pursue them with remarkable determination, and although this dramatically enhances their potential for professional success—they often rise to management level or the very top of their careers—their single-minded focus on their career goals can isolate them emotionally from others.
Until the age of thirty-five they will lean toward a more practical and realistic approach to their goals, and these are the years when they are most likely to lose themselves in their career. During these years establishing a work-life balance and becoming more sensitive to the feelings of others are important. After the age of thirty-six, however, there is a significant turning point which highlights a need to be free from responsibilities, to be more independent and to express their individuality. They may become involved with humanitarian ideals or issues of universal spirituality. At first this shift in focus may feel confusing and disorientating for them, but as the years go by they start to understand themselves better and experience life less as a research lab and more on a deeper, intuitive level where certain things are simply to be experienced rather than examined.
They also begin to realize that the key to unlocking their potential for outstanding achievement is to keep their lives as real and as grounded as possible, so that they are relaxed and receptive enough to tune into their powerful intuition and make the right choices for themselves and others.
☆ On the dark side：Impractical, isolated, unaware
☆ At your best：Innovative, thorough, visionary
Those born on December 16 are among the most imaginative people in the year. This is not to understate their physical side, however, which is highly developed and stakes out its claims on their personality as well. As a matter of fact, one of the major themes in the lives of December 16 people concerns transcending physical limitations of the body and reaching for the stars.
December 16 people are not the easiest to live with. Emotional problems of all sorts plague them, usually as a result of their own complex nature. Those who live with them must be extraordinarily understanding and sensitive to their needs, not the very least of which may be a need for periodic solitude. Indeed, some born on this day must be in their own world to work effectively.
Thus they do best away from offices and organizations, in an environment where the demands they meet are primarily their own. Often December 16 people feel guided or even instructed by a higher power in whose service they find themselves. This power may be social, religious or universal in nature, but ultimately liberating for them. Through this association they are freed from their earthbound problems at least for a time.
December 16 people are capable of feats requiring titanic energies. Once they are directed towards an inspiring but also realistic goal, there is little that can stop them from achieving far-reaching success in their work. Yet, they can be easily sidetracked and fall prey to all sorts of slights, real or imagined, annoyances and (to them) trivial problems involving other people's feelings, to which they are not always the most sensitive. Living on what may or may not be a high spiritual plane or metaphysical cloud they can have trouble relating to those mere mortals busy with more mundane and petty considerations.
It is extremely important that December 16 people remain well grounded in daily reality.
Taking an interest in the life around them is important for their human side and keeps them in touch with the world. Thus, their mates, friends and children play a crucial role in their lives.
Working out their emotional problems, learning to trust and love more fully—these are matters that can only be dealt with through interaction and encounters with others. Explosive reactions alternating with remoteness or indifference, manic periods followed by depressions, the highs of laughter and the depths of deep silence are all colors found on the December 16 palette. The most successful of those bom on this day find expression for their high idealism and feelings through creative work, hobbies or social activities. Thus they are able to communicate with and touch their fellow human beings through shared interests.
Power Thought：The universe flows through me and my intuition continually guides me，The storms of life eventually blow over
Those born on the 16th day of the month are ruled by the number 7 (1+6=7), and by the watery planet Neptune. Those ruled by the number 7 sometimes fail to follow through on their ideas and can get out of touch with reality easily, particularly true for December 16 people. Neptune is the planet of dreams, fantasies and also of religious feeling, which coupled with the jupiterian influence of Sagittarius grants December 16 people a high degree of idealism and an interest in mysticism and religion. Those born on this day must beware of a tendency indicated by the number 7 to throw caution to the winds financially and leave their families or businesses financially embarrassed.
The 16th card of the Major Arcana is The Tower, which in one version of the Tarot deck shows both a king falling from a lightning-struck tower and the builder of this tower being killed by a blow to the head. The Tower symbolizes the impermanence of not only physical structures but also of relationships or vocations in our lives. The changes w rought may be sudden and swift. The positive elements of the card include overcoming catastrophe and confronting challenges: however, the Tower cautions against rising unjustifiably high, risking destruction at the hands of one's own invention and succumbing to the lure of fanciful enterprises.
☆Luck maker：(Don’t isolate yourself)If you isolate yourself to satisfy your career aspirations or personal interests, you isolate yourself from the biggest source of luck in life—other people.
You’re drawn to people born on November 22 to December 21：You are both imaginative and adventurous, and this can be an exciting and fulfilling relationship.
People born on December 16 are loving and supportive mates who pride themselves on being a good judge of character, and understand the importance of give and take in a relationship. Sometimes, however, their pragmatic approach can be interpreted as passionless, so it is important for them to be more spontaneous to keep the romantic sparkle in their relationships. They tend to be attracted to those who are artistic or creative in some way, because deep down inside them is a poet’s spirit longing to express itself.
People born on this day can be prone to fatigue and digestive disorders with an unexplained origin, and they might find that there is more stress in their lives than they think. They may also find that their diet isn’t quite as healthy or nutritious as it could be, and that their exercise routine needs updating. They would benefit from increasing the amount of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes in their diet to boost their digestive health; moderate exercise, preferably outdoors so they get all the mood-boosting benefits of sunshine, will help improve their mood and increase their chances of a good night’s sleep. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color violet will help them get in touch with their intuition. Carrying a quartz crystal with them will also improve the quality of their life, re-energizing their zest and vitality in all situations.
December 16 people often suffer from a variety of seemingly vague or hidden physical complaints. Sometimes these difficulties have strong psychosomatic overtones. Chronic problems with their digestion and internal organs may arise over the years, but perhaps can be headed off with a healthy diet, particularly one stressing fresh high-fiber vegetables and grains. Regular walks, swimming and outdoor activ ities of all types admirably suit the December 16 need for exercise as well as maintaining contact v. ith nature.
People born on this day will probably feel stifled within corporate structures and may prefer to work for themselves. They are also well suited to careers in research, science, production management, and software development. Other careers that might interest them include education, writing, politics, strategic planning, music, art, acting, and psychology.
The life path of people born on this day is to get in touch with their own feelings and those of others. Once they have developed an intuitive sense of what is right and wrong for them, their destiny is to pioneer far-reaching innovations and ideals.
Keep yourself grounded. Work through your physical problems. Attend regularly to matters of even day life. Be sensitive to the feelings of others.
