People born on December 1 are extremely energetic. Unhindered by convention, they express themselves freely and delight in surprising others with their outrageous wit and seducing them with their charm. Any attempts to restrict their freedom will simply have the effect of spurring them along their idiosyncratic path with renewed enthusiasm and determination.
Although these people will defend or promote their ideas fiercely, they are not necessarily combative or confrontational; they prefer to influence or win others over with the sheer force of their personalities. They may at times lack tact or diplomacy but they also radiate self-confidence, and this draws others to them. Underneath their entertaining, occasionally superficial but always eyebrow-raising mask, however, they are far more deep and complex than others realize. In fact sometimes they feel so complex that even they aren’t sure what their motivations are; the vibrant, funny personality they present to the outside world is simply their way of coping with the confusion.
After a rebellious childhood, at around the age of twenty there is an important turning point for these people lasting about thirty years. During this period there are opportunities for them to become more pragmatic, orderly and structured in their approach to life. As long as they don’t neglect friends and loved ones they should take advantage of these opportunities to focus on their career; the sooner they find a professional sense of direction and purpose the better, as work can be an important outlet for their energy and talents. After the age of fifty-one there is an another important turning point which highlights a growing need for independence and for sharing some of their progressive ideas with others.
Throughout their lives they should never forget that they are free spirits, but if they can learn to be a little more diplomatic, cautious and self-aware they will find that they will not only be able to bring pleasure, love and enlightenment to the lives of others; they will also be able to blaze their own, highly original, trail through life.
☆ On the dark side:Confused, tactless, reckless
☆ At your best:Energetic, generous, entertaining
Those born on December 1 are highly outspoken people. Moreover, they are not afraid to back up their words with actions. However, because they usually accompany their more immodest behavior with a twinkle of the eye and beguiling innocence, they win people over. Unashamedly, they flagrantly deny all the rules of etiquette and behavior at will, particularly when important issues are at stake in their lives.
Since one so often knows just how December 1 people feel, they can strike others as superficial.
Such is not the case, however. Their personalities can be deep and complex—it is just that their mode of expression (often humor) is a direct conduit carrying their feelings to the surface.
Not always fully aware of themselves and what they are doing, they almost seem driven by forces beyond their control. Even they themselves may at times have doubts about their stability, but nonetheless their unusual mental makeup seems to work for them.
Giving, generous people, those born on this day want to share what they have with those near and dear to them, not only financially but in terms of time and care as well. The problem with this is that December 1 people are often so busy that they have little time to do so. Thus frustrations may grow, not only in themselves, but in their children and other family members as well. Since they are dynamos of energy, they will strive to do the impossible, however, and give as much as they can in all areas.
December 1 people are flirtatious with the opposite sex. Not all of this is serious, however, since although they enjoy exerting their charm on one and all, they reserve their deep feelings of love for very special people. It is true, however, that they often go through a naughty childhood, stormy adolescence and an unsettled early adulthood. Being deprived of experiences or being severely punished for flamboyant behavior in early life inevitably results in later patterns of frustration. Compulsive attitudes toward sex are usually indicative of deep-seated insecurities.
December 1 people are free spirits. Although they are capable of working for a company or other organization, they do better if they can exert the full force of their personalities in making decisions and moving on issues when they feel the right time has arrived. Working too many years for the same outfit can take its toll on them and even seriously damage their spirit. Like animals that have been caged too long, they may lose touch with their natural instincts.
It is thus extremely important that December 1 people remain free enough to fully express themselves. On the other hand, they must learn that society will not always tolerate their more outrageous behavior. Perhaps they would do well to become a bit more secretive, diplomatic and not just hang out their laundry for all to see. Moreover, if they wish to be taken seriously, they have to pay more mind to their credibility rating.
Power Thought:Balancing my priorities helps me rediscover my happiness,The simplest things in life are usually the most important

They are typically individual, highly opinionated and eager to rise to the top. The Sun symbolizes strong creative energy and fire, which should be kept flowing steadily rather than allowed to sporadically flare out of control. When these Sun influences are coupled with those of Jupiter (ruler of Sagittarius), they indicate a lavish lifestyle accompanied by exaltation and self-assurance.
The 1st card of the Major Arcana is The Magician, who symbolizes intellect, communication, information, as well as magic. Over his head is an infinity symbol, which in some Tarot decks takes the form of a hat. in others a halo. Many interpretations may be drawn, one of which is that the Magician recognizes the cyclical and unending nature of life and is empowered by this understanding. The positive traits suggested by this first card include diplomatic skill and shrewdness but, negatively, lack of scruples and opportunism. The choice rests with December 1 people whether to use their energy to attain wealth, fame and recognition or to develop their talents in a deep personal as well as spiritual manner.

Over-indulgence in food or drink can be their downfall, as can accidents and injuries caused by sport or risk-taking.
