Sun Sign: Capricorn/Saturn
Decanate: Capricorn/Saturn; Numbers: 5, 8
Ambition fuels this quasar of the skies. Imagine a spotlight which shines with the brilliance of all the lights in New York and you get a picture of the energy output of this fearsome creature, who emits the energy equivalent to a thousand galaxies. In every area of work the air crackles around them and strangers ask ‘Who was that?’ Other stars must take care around Quasar 23 because they will not only be outshone, but their light will be absorbed by this rapacious creature.
Although some are humane, most are too driven to bother with niceties. Watch them at meetings, apparently listening and joining in, but behind those opaque, wintery eyes you can see the mind sifting, calculating something to their advantage. Weakness is anathema to them. If a colleague is sick or in need, December 23 simply runs round him, even uses it against him. Hear December 23 murmur to a boss ‘Do you think so and so can cope with this project? Is his/her health up to it?’ Meaning he can't and it's not.
Both sexes are attracted to the very energetic young or the old and powerful. The young bring energy, sometimes sexual. The old bring them position and contacts. Marrying the boss seems an obvious course of action to an individual who rarely falls hopelessly in love.
As leaders they are coldly impeccable. Others follow but don't love them. When December 23 walks into the work washroom everybody scuttles off, avoiding any casual conversation at all costs. When December 23 questions a colleague or underling either sex will remember exactly what was said. Theirs is a photographic memory and you'd better watch out. Find them in the armed forces and at the highest level in business, politics, industry and commerce. Less carnivorous sharks born on this day may play a great part in local authority politics or running a hospital or school, efficiently but never emotionally.
People born on this day are not outwardly romantic, but beneath the restrained exterior they are deeply passionate, extremely sensitive, and very much in need of love and friendship. You particularly dislike feeling vulnerable or being at the mercy of someone else’s whims and desires.
Consequently, you can have difficulty expressing your emotions. In an intimate relationship, an air of detachment masks your deep devotion to your beloved. You want to be affectionate and understanding, but you fear that overt displays of love will make you appear dependent.
Even so, your loyalty and rock-solid dependability tend to outweigh your emotional shortcomings.
You may be hard to get to know on an emotional level, but sexually you’re open-minded and considerably more unconventional than other goats.
Your quick, innovative mentality leads to original moves between the sheets. Once you begin to unwind, your deeper sensuality emerges. More easily bored than others of your Sun sign, you need lots of variety and excitement in your sex life. As a result, you’re usually willing to go along with just about anything your bed partner suggests.
December people find relaxation in cooking, at which, surprisingly, they are a whizz. Often extremely experimental and unconventional. Try Lavender Rice Pudding. This can be made with mint, bay, thyme or lavender. Take several sprigs of lavender, preferably fresh from the garden. 290ml cream, 140g caster sugar, 55g pudding rice, 860ml milk, 2 beaten eggs, pinch salt. Put rice and milk into saucepan, with lavender, bring to simmer until the milk has been absorbed and the rice is still crunchy. Beat in eggs, sugar and pinch salt, transfer to low oven for 20-30 minutes. Serve with slender biscuits of your choice.
The lover who understands your earthy sensuality and initiates spontaneous sexual encounters with provocative verbal enticements and a few very well-placed caresses knows the best ways to turn you on. Trying out naughty toys, exotic potions, flavored oils, and erotic edibles appeals to your sense of lovemaking as fun and games.

The contradictory aspects of your character form the basis of your realistic humanitarianism and practical idealism. You care about people’s problems and want to help solve them. Yet despite your concern for society’s welfare, you have a rather cynical view of human nature. You invariably try to do the right thing. Yet you don’t believe that others always act from similar conviction.
