Handshakes reveal more than you think. A soft hand denotes an easy conscience. An elastic but firm grip points to honest and honourable intentions. An iron grip may indicate strength of will, but also lack of intuition.

Christmas children are special and this Boxing Day baby is no exception. They arrive to such a welcome, are made to feel so special that these established good feelings stay with them for the rest of their lives. Those who are welcomed warmly from an early age learn to make others welcome. People born today are people pleasers in the best, sense. They enjoy others’ happiness, especially if they have helped create it. But they don't need to please to feel wanted.
Self-confident Boxing Day has an individualistic streak and both sexes may seek a change of direction in early adulthood. All December people can be spectacular at making money if they so choose, because a characteristic of Capricorn is ruthless mental organisation and dedication. Boxing Day may choose to make his or her money young, working morning, noon and night. Then give up conventional work, marry, raise a family and live happily ever after.
But the change goes the other way too. Many flit from job to job, even country to country, certainly from person to person. Then the Capricorn urge to settle suddenly dominates and making a late start in the career market, they quickly become successful and choose a mate. Most December 26 people want children badly. Many only have to look at their spouse and a baby is on the way, but when this doesn't happen they fret. Immediate, expert medical help should be sought. Time-wasting has no value here. It may cost a lot, but December 26 is willing to throw money at this problem. And with luck and dedication the desired bundle should soon be in their arms.
This individual likes to collect antiques and some may treasure hunt, usually with interesting results. Financial gain isn't the motive behind collecting or rooting for buried treasure. They are more interested in the beauty of their collection and the history of their finds.
Although seemingly fearless in business relationships, where love is concerned you often feel shy and insecure. While you can be overly wary as a friend or lover, no one else is as faithful or reliable. Built to last, you don’t jump into a serious alliance without giving it lots of thought. You may not be outwardly romantic, but beneath your restrained exterior you’re deeply passionate, extremely sensitive, and very much in need of love and friendship (although you would probably rather die than admit it). When you commit to a close relationship, you are loyal and loving but also jealous and possessive.
You may come off as emotionally cool on the surface, but you are warm and sensitive underneath. Although basically shy, you are also strongly sexed and extremely sensual. When aroused, you are capable of intense and sustained physical passion. Where lovemaking is concerned, you like to take it slow and get it right. Satisfying your mate’s needs is as important to you as satisfying your own. Creating a comfortable atmosphere of sensuality in the bedroom gives you someplace where you can really relax.
Low levels of iron in the body can cause pregnancy difficulties and may also be at the bottom of tiredness, anaemia and muscle fatigue. Iron is lost in blood and women can lose a significant amount during menstruation. Best sources for iron are bread, fortified breakfast cereals, beans, nuts and green leafy vegetables. Liver and kidneys are rich in iron and the body absorbs more easily from meat sources. Signs of deficiency include pale skin, poor vision, indigestion and tingling in the fingers and toes. Iron needs rise dramatically during pregnancy as the growing baby takes up almost half a mothers daily iron supplies.
Depending on work and responsibilities, the needle on your sensuality meter can swing back and forth between passion and detachment. Your ideal lover knows how to use touching and stroking to lure the horny goat out of hiding. Once you feel mellow and relaxed, a seductive striptease puts you in the mood for some red-hot, erotic lovemaking.
Handshakes reveal more than you think. A soft hand denotes an easy conscience. An elastic but firm grip points to honest and honourable intentions. An iron grip may indicate strength of will, but also lack of intuition.
Part of Capricorn’s shadow nature is a tendency to play the martyr. You thrive on duty and responsibility. However, when things become too much for you, you refuse to ask for help. Instead you suffer in silence or complain to everyone except the person who can actually offer you some relief.
