People born on December 23 are hardworking, quietly ambitious individuals who are at their happiest and their best when they can identify areas of improvement and then formulate original, sometimes radical but always practical solutions. Gifted organizers, they prefer to plan and work toward and then carefully prepare for improvement.
Those born on this day distrust sudden change and feel uncomfortable when it is thrust upon them as it upsets their steady and determined plans for progressive change and progress. In fact, when they assume positions of power—which more often than not they do, given their authoritative presence and excellent communication skills—they can be resistant to change. They can also become controlling and authoritarian when challenged, and when alternative viewpoints to their own are given they can become hostile and defensive. It is therefore extremely important for their psychological growth and their professional success that they learn to be more flexible and open-minded in their approach to people and situations.
Before the age of twenty-eight, they may have shown a responsibility beyond their years, perhaps getting their foot on the property ladder long before their peers, taking on the responsibilities of a partner and family, or firmly establishing themselves in their career. After the age of twenty-nine, however, there is a gradual shift of emphasis which highlights a growing need to be more carefree and independent and to express their individuality. Another turning point occurs when they are sixty: they are likely to become more sensitive and responsive to their creative urges.
Whatever their age or stage in life, they need to resist the urge to withdraw into stubbornness, inflexibility and complacency. This is because when they start to be more spontaneous and to share their compassion, generosity, creativity and curiosity with others, they will discover that they have the ability to lead and inspire others to follow them along the optimum path to progress, in whatever direction, or directions, it takes everyone.
☆ On the dark side：Complacent, authoritarian, inflexible
☆ At your best：Responsible, innovative, steady
Those bom on December 23 are happiest when they are breaking new ground, forging ahead in an effort to promote and implement their ideas and dreams. This should not give the impression that they are particularly radical or revolutionary since they are more often of a cautious and measured nature. Indeed, those born on this day generally embrace firmly established values, consider their plans carefully before acting and stay closely linked to the family or social group to which they belong. They can often be found improving the lot of this group, and because they are mentally quick they instinctively find the best way to do so. In this sense they are prophetic, capable of looking into the future and seeing not only what will be necessary at a later date bin also how to make ready for it.
December 23 people refuse to be ignored. They view outright rejection as a challenge to which they are fully prepared to respond.

A fundamental discomfort with their status may well prompt them to actively pursue their dreams rather than sit idly by wishing.
December 23 people have a characteristic earthiness about them combined with a stubborn streak that can make them hard to deal with. They do not appreciate their authority being challenged, nor are they particularly fond of far out or radical ideas (other than their own, of course). It is important that those bom on this day who achieve positions of power or influence remain open to healthy criticism and positive suggestions, and distinguish them from harmful negativity directed their way.
Understanding, particularly of an emotional sort, rarely occupies the highest position on the December 23 list of abilities and values. Although often possessed of a folksy or whimsical attitude that can be quite endearing, those bom on this day can just as easily appear cold and removed. December 23 men must be careful of assuming macho attitudes and women of being overly aggressive or dominant. Both sexes in later life will have to leam eventually to get out of the way and allow the younger generation to come through. But retirement does not sit easily with most December 23 people, who would prefer to be back in a more active role.
