People born on December 18 are blessed with a soaring imagination and a sense of possibility that those who are less imaginative would dismiss or even ridicule. Their determination to translate their dreams into reality is, however, so powerful that they can withstand almost any criticism.
From an early age people born on this day are likely to have been quick learners, soaking up information and mastering skills long before others; when all this knowledge is added to their incredible creativity, anything is quite literally possible. They may develop a game plan for life in their teens or twenties that includes far-reaching plans and then, as the years pass, they will devote themselves fully to achieving their goals and realizing their dreams. These people think in the long term and not in the short term, and although progress may appear slow to others, they are slowly, carefully and steadily climbing their way to the very top.
Until the age of thirty-three they may find that life offers them opportunities to develop a more practical and realistic approach to achieving their goals. They should take advantage of these opportunities by accepting assistance when it is offered, involving others in their plans, and simplifying their workload and their long-term goals. They run a real danger otherwise of becoming exhausted, disappointed and alienated. After the age of thirty-four there is a turning point when they may wish to become more independent and to express their individuality.
These years are filled with potential for people born on this day, but whatever age they are the key to their success is their ability to set themselves realistic goals and their willingness to slow down the pace of their lives so they can get in touch with their intuition or the silence within. Connecting with their feelings will help them see that the sense of wonder, discovery and possibility they long to—and are destined to—create in the world around them already exists within them; all they need to do is find it.
☆ On the dark side：Unrealistic, preoccupied, unfocused
☆ At your best：Imaginative, energetic, determined
For December 18 people, life is written large. Dealers in grand designs, they think in farreaching temis but don’t overlook the details. As a matter of fact, their long-term projects are built painstakingly and with deep commitment. Their work achievements are often as long as they are broad and deep. Yet despite their devotion, they may be accused of superficiality through attempting too much, as if others believe that in producing in quantity, depth is beyond their grasp.
December 18 individuals are in it for the long haul. Year after year they stick to w’hat they are doing with great persistence. This can pose problems for them when their work is not turning out well. Refusing to give up on a losing proposition can be a real albatross around their neck. This attitude can apply to their friendships or love relationships as well. This is not to mean that those bom on this day should give up easily on friends, but that they should recognize when others are unwilling or unable to change, and tailor their expectations accordingly.
December 18 people must be careful not to dominate the lives of those close to them.
Although they do not appear to be needy or dependent individuals, they can make great demands on others. Often their self-absorbed personalities make the greatest demand of all— not to be bothered.
Many December 18 people live in their own rarefied, electrically charged world of complex plans and high ideals. They must be free to let their minds roam and to push their bodies to the limit. Rarely will they ask either encouragement or permission to do this. As children, they need parents who can simply back off and leave them to their own devices, while providing a stable and loving home environment. As parents, they themselves must remember to provide stmcture but also freedom and gentler guidance to their own children, w'ho may suffer from growing up in their large shadow.
Less highly evolved December 18 people can tear themselves apart with unrealistic ambitions. dreams, w ishes and desires. They may have to limit themselves a bit and tone down the scope of their projects to a more attainable level. What December 18 people need most is to set up a comfortable and efficient base of operations and, hopefully, find a sympathetic mate who is not only a loving partner but an understanding friend.
For those bom on this day who have not yet discovered the exceptional potential within them—perhaps out of fear of their own power—establishing themselves in a lifestyle and work environment that suits their nature and talents is the kev.

You’re drawn to people born on March 21 to April 19：You are both tremendously energetic and sensual, and there’s great potential for longterm fulfillment and happiness.
The sense of possibility possessed by people born on December 18 inspires respect and admiration in others but it can also cause feelings of frustration because they can appear to be taking on too much. Although they are sensual, charismatic and like to take the lead in relationships, they will often bury themselves in work, only emerging when they want support or attention. Others may wish that they could simplify their lives so that they have more time not just for friends and loved ones, but for themselves.
People born on this day tend to fill their lives with constant activity. Although this means they are extremely productive, it can also mean that they rarely take time out to relax. It is therefore important for them to know what their limits are and not to bite off more than they can chew because otherwise they are prone to stress and even burnout. As far as diet is concerned, they also need to slow down and should resist the tendency to eat food as quickly as possible. They should also cut down on sugar, caffeine and other stimulants used to keep their energy levels high, and replace these with fruit, nuts and seeds. Mild exercise is highly recommended, as are meditation and breathing activities to help them find the space and stillness within. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color green will encourage natural healing and balance.
December 18 people must avoid pushing themselves beyond their limits. Even recognizing that these limits exist can be a positive first step. Those born on this day may be prone to burnout, but also to getting off track and living in a very unreal, overly romantic world with barely a link to reality. Maintaining a sense of objectivity is crucial. Therefore they can depend heavily on the honesty of a partner, friend, therapist, teacher or clergyman to help them through difficult times. Physical wear and tear may result (primarily from neglect) but usually the primary difficulties for those born on December 18 are psychological. Eating a well-balanced diet, particularly stabilizing grains and vegetables, and cutting down on sugar and alcohol as well as any realityimpairing or "mind-expanding" drugs is essential to their well-being. Only mild or moderate exercise of a non-competitive nature is advised, along with frequent and particularly sedentary, relaxing Vacations.
People born on this day will thrive in careers that allow them to think and act independently in the pursuit of their visions; they may therefore be drawn to science, technology, art, or sport. Other possible work options include business, writing, sales, publishing, teaching, charity work, fundraising, politics, social reform, and the worlds of film-making, entertainment and the media.
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 made contact with the power of their intuition and set themselves attainable goals, their destiny is, by example, to inspire others to follow their dreams.
Find stillness and calm within. Space and silence are rich in themselves, so don’t feel you have to fill the pitcher to the brim or lie active when there's nothing to do. Allow others to shine, too.
