Everybody loves and loses love. If, like Heathcliff, you let this ruin your life, you are closing the door to other joys and taking a decision to live in the past. Cherish the memory but move on.
Sun Sign: Capricorn/Saturn
Decanate: Capricorn/Saturn; Numbers: 6, 9
Born to celebrations, this glittering star on top of the tree has been partying ever since. Good humoured and kind, they'll make any occasion special and scatter their money about like clouds of golden confetti. If 24 isn't in charge of the office Christmas party, he should be because nobody else does it as well. Both sexes put the swank into celebration and the zing into swing. And people born on this day dance like a dream.
Many December birthday children are gloomy, but somehow the changeling December 24 zoomed down to earth with a Capricornucopia of personal gifts as rich as those brought by the Three Kings to Bethlehem. They can sing or play a musical instrument, often so well they may become professional. Many are great sportsmen. Decorative themselves, they make their surroundings attractive with just the flick of a finger. These are the family members who hold relatives together and always come up with a positive solution. And like many others born around this time, they cook like a dream.
When it comes to sex it's a different matter for December 24. There's nothing sweetly friendly about their passion. They fall hard, can easily become addicted to the love of their life. And can't be bothered with the folderols of courtship and lovemaking which puts them at a disadvantage when in competition with others who can. Love is often the undoing of this Christmas Eve child. No day suffers the pain of a broken heart more agonisingly or for greater lengths of time.
In some cases a broken love affair is so powerful an influence that they may throw up their life and work and move far away or even abroad in order to start again. But the image of their lost love remains branded on their hearts and any lover who follows must accept that December 24 holds a flame - or maybe a flicker -forever in memory of whoever cruelly betrayed them.
Relating comes naturally to those celebrating birthdays on this date. You really don’t feel complete without the companionship of a caring partner.
However, it takes more than just love and romance to hold your interest.
You need to be with a mate who not only understands you but also shares your goals and sense of purpose. In an intimate union you’re capable of total loyalty and devotion to Mr. or Ms. Right. However, control may become an issue. You want to be the one in charge, and you won’t put up with a spouse who tries to be boss.
Your bedroom style is earthy and enthusiastic. It may take a while for you to warm up between the sheets, but once you do, you’re anything but shy.
You know what you want from your bedmate, and you’re not afraid to go after it. Even so, your initial approach is typically controlled and refined.
The lusty, horny goat side of your love nature emerges slowly but surely.
High-energy lovemaking fulfills your sexual longings and carries you to peaks of ecstasy.
Here's a folderol worth bothering with to entertain a lover. Chocolate Fruit. Take 375g selected fruit, anything hard enough to he dipped without squishing. Grapes, cherries, strawberries, apricot halves - or even nuts. 100g plain dessert chocolate, 100g caster sugar, 50ml single cream, pinch cream of tartar, oil Heat sugar, cream, cream of tartar, stirring, then bring to boil and continue until mixture is golden brown. Melt chocolate. Dip one half fruit in caramel and other side in chocolate. Place on oiled tray to set. Take to bed with a bottle of champagne and expect a sweet sensation.
A glamorous, sophisticated lover has the edge with you. You appreciate the companion who takes you out on the town, and wines you and dines you in elegant surroundings. But the urgency of your strong sexual needs and desires only becomes apparent in private. Once you start, your legendary stamina can keep you going all night.
Everybody loves and loses love. If, like Heathcliff, you let this ruin your life, you are closing the door to other joys and taking a decision to live in the past. Cherish the memory but move on.
You’re as aware of your own agenda as any other Capricorn native, but your competitive nature is tempered by cooperation and teamwork. You may appear more laid-back than others of your Sun sign, yet you’re as willing to work hard for what you want. You live an active life but still find time for cultural and artistic interests.
