People born on 31 December pride themselves on their immaculate taste, and their confidence and charisma draw admirers to them wherever they go. They are esthetes and idealists at heart, aiming for perfection; but being realists they have the common sense to accept that there is a lot of ugliness in the world.
These people are on a mission to make the world a more beautiful place and they will try to add a touch of refinement or style to the environments they live and work in. They may also pay great attention to their own appearance, cultivating an attractive presence that is always well groomed and presented. They set high standards for themselves and others, but what makes them such gifted and fair leaders is that they will never expect more from others than they themselves can deliver.
The one big problem for them is that they are sometimes guilty of imposing their own standards of what is or is not beautiful or correct in a situation, the opinions or visions of others being dismissed out of hand. If this tendency isn’t checked it can make them somewhat narrow-minded and intolerant of the opinions, taste and individuality of others. They need to remind themselves over and over again that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
Before the age of twenty they may come across as artistic but disciplined and sensible young adults, but after the age of twenty-one there is a dramatic turning point when they become less influenced by tradition and more independent. New opportunities to present their unique perspective will emerge and they will start to play a key role in making the world a more beautiful place. After the age of fifty-one there is another turning point which puts the emphasis on sensitivity and a strong inner life. But whatever age they are, getting in touch with their intuition will show them that beauty isn’t just something that can be created in the outside world—first and foremost it must be created within.
☆ On the dark side：Opinionated, materialistic, superficial
☆ At your best：Tasteful, well groomed, charismatic
