People born on December 4 are ambitious, hardworking and resilient individuals who can display remarkable self-control in both their professional and personal lives. They have the rare ability to take charge of their emotions without losing their creativity, and this gives them tremendous self-confidence, power over themselves and authority over others. They are like flamboyant and daring but highly skilled and well-prepared captains with a thirst for adventure and all the courage and ingenuity they need to successfully steer through uncharted waters to undiscovered lands.
Although they cherish their own individuality and are unwilling to submit themselves to the ideas or authority of others, they may feel compelled to impose their ideas on those around them, sometimes forcefully. Unaware of this contradiction between their directional urges and their own right to autonomy, they can come across as dictatorial or egotistical; but this is rarely the case. For the great majority of the time they are genuinely concerned for the greater good, rather than any selfish ambitions. Like a brave captain who will not leave their ship until everyone is safe, their natural sense of justice and honor will propel them toward activities that are intended to bring about a more enlightened or better-regulated society.
At the age of eighteen, people born on this day may start to manifest their natural leadership skills and over the next thirty years they will gradually become more practical, goal-orientated and realistic in their approach to achievement. They may also have a strong desire for order and structure in their lives. After the age of forty-eight there is another significant turning point which highlights a growing need for freedom, new ideas and expressing their individuality within a group setting.
Whatever age they are, if they can find a middle way between nobility and ambition, love and success, compassion and power, independence and the need to compromise, they will not only be capable of inspired leadership, they will also be capable of becoming the visionaries of their generation.
☆ On the dark side:Authoritarian, hypocritical, inflexible
☆ At your best:Powerful, ambitious, inspirational
Those born on December 4 are gutsy, aggressive individuals who have the courage to go for it, heart and soul. Pain, conflict and struggle are no strangers to them and they may repeatedly be faced with the challenge of great difficulties and overwhelming odds.
Nonetheless, they stand a fairly good chance of achieving their far-reaching goals through an unusual combination of grace and vitality, all the while being careful not to incite jealousy in others. Many born on this day, however, have a knack for instilling fear in the most powerful of adversaries, or at least a worrying sense of anxiety. It must be said that a certain ruthlessness of purpose often accompanies this day, and the enemies of December 4 people probably sense that little if any mercy will be afforded them.
December 4 people can display touches of egomaniacal and sociopathic tendencies, but fortunately such urges rarely come to dominate their personality. Normally their ideals and beliefs remain uncorrupted and they often put themselves in service of some higher human, political or artistic cause. Indeed, they will sacrifice their own comfort and security for what they believe. Usually blessed with a talent for organization, they have the capacity to listen to their colleagues or employees but tolerate no serious threat to their authority, which must remain unchallenged. The temptation to secure absolute power in their sphere (whether as humble as their own home or as expansive as a nation) is very great for them and they may in fact need to be checked or moderated for their own sake. Also, the danger exists that they will take on more responsibilities than they can handle. For December 4 people, more than others, knowing their limitations can save them many frustrations and indignities.
Usually the critical faculties of December 4 people are highly developed. They have a rare ability to size up a person or argument quickly and accurately, without relying on preconceived ideas or prejudices. However, if they are emotionally involved with a subject their objectivity can be clouded. Consequently, December 4 people must make an effort to keep their public and private lives distinct and separate. For example, highly destructive consequences can result from favoring their own friends in business matters.
The sooner December 4 people rein in the sometimes disruptive, often theatrical side of their nature the better. This is not to suggest that they should suppress their individualism or pizazz, but that they come to better understand the impact of their actions on their environment.
Those December 4 people who grow wiser with age learn to harness their energies in a more constructive and productive way. thereby making important social contributions to the life around them.

Those ruled by the number 4 generally show little concern for making money, particularly in their younger years, and this seems to hold true for December t people who are often taken up with ideas instead. December 4 people do, however, understand the relation between money and power. Due to the influence of the planet I franus, those ruled by the number 4 can be quick and explosive in their change of mood, qualities enhanced (along with material luck and aggressiveness) in December 4 people by Jupiter's rulership of their sign, Sagittarius.
