If December 21 could live abroad in a warmer climate they would. They may love Britain, but they're not enamoured of its climate and find its politics and mean emotional attitude tiresome. This date would like to inhabit a place where people like and admire each other, where there's a lot of laughter and sitting about under trees looking at the view. Winter chills them to the bone and the lack of light depresses them.
Fortunately this is a moneyed date. The financial promise here is enormous and probably allied with a job or some form of business contact abroad, so their wishes may be fulfilled. Content to live with one partner in faithful bliss and happy enough to raise children if they come along, December 21 usually develops into a passionate gardener, and dreams all day long, in office blocks and factories, in palaces and theatres, of getting back to the garden.
All year long December 21 plans and enjoys. Weekends are for travelling Britain to visit other people's gardens, seeking inspiration, maybe taking the odd cutting from a stately bush when nobody's looking. This person is not a garden snob, so there are no worries about non-U marigolds and if she wants to have masses of gaily coloured gladioli at the back of her borders, why not?
Other powerful passions with this date, and there will be many, may include railway history or memorabilia, antiques, and some form of sewing, in particular patchwork and tapestry. The antiques are most likely to be something pretty, china or porcelain, maybe a few curiosities such as commemorative pottery, which December 21 has inherited from elderly relatives and kept initially for love and memory before developing the collector's passion.
This date has rather a delicate constitution, frequently suffering from aching limbs and sometimes both sexes feel that they almost act as fly paper to any bugs around. Fortunately they shake temporary ailments off quite fast.
Where love is concerned, those born on the Sagittarius/Capricorn cusp are ardent, caring, and rather flirtatious. You are, however, also openhearted in your affections and loyal in your attachments. Although you may be slow to make promises, when you do, you keep them. It is important to you to live life to the fullest, experiencing everything that you possibly can. In a romantic relationship, you are passionate, generous, and eager for love. However, it generally takes both intellectual and physical stimulation to keep you interested. If a romantic union’s closeness becomes too cloying, you may take off in search of a less restrictive alliance.
A fascinating blend of optimism and common sense, you are a born risk taker. In love as in life, you’re not afraid to act on your hunches. Moreover, you’re surprisingly lucky when you do. You believe in taking a chance on love. If things don’t work out, you’ll pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and move on to someone new and even more exciting. In the bedroom, you’re a tender, considerate lover. Your sexual approach begins as a tiny spark and slowly builds to a raging fire.
December 21 should burn essential oil of frankincense in an oil burner while reading or relaxing as this oil is particularly beneficial to coughs, colds, laryngitis, bronchitis, dull skin and mild depression caused by short dull winter days and lack of natural light. Frankincense (Boswellia thuiferaj is extracted from a North African tree and along with myrrh was one of the first gum incenses to be burnt in ancient Egyptian temples. It was brought to Bethlehem at Christmas by the Three Wise Men. It deepens breathing which helps meditation and clear thinking.
Fulfilling your sexual cravings in a stable relationship allows you to indulge your erotic fantasies with a partner you trust. You enjoy experimenting with diverse ideas and trying out novel ways to add to your own and your lover’s sensual pleasure. High-energy lovemaking can take you to new levels of physical gratification and emotional intimacy.

Despite your high spirits, you have a good grasp of reality. Your ambition is inexhaustible, and you are not easily deterred once your goal is in sight. You aim for the top and you will surely get there, aided by a mixture of idealism, self-confidence, and plain old horse sense.
