People born on December 5 reach for the skies both personally and professionally and, although others may think they are overreaching themselves, somehow or other they manage to get to where they want—or at the very least, close to it.
From an early age they may have displayed unusual self-confidence and willingness to go it alone. If this isn’t the case, life may have given them a series of knocks to dent their confidence; sooner or late their characteristic optimism will emerge. They truly believe that anything is possible, and throughout their lives they will be a shining example of what confidence and self-belief in the face of adversity can achieve. Sometimes they can be overconfident and unwilling to listen to the cautionary advice of others; although this may result in remarkable innovations, it can also lead to serious errors of judgment.
Around the age of seventeen they will start to think seriously about their life goals and the mark they want to leave on the world. Although they should never lose their idealism and optimism, it is important for them to make sure that the goals they set are realistic and achievable; otherwise they are setting themselves up for disappointment. Listening to the advice of others could be the key to unlocking their potential. After the age of forty-seven they may become even more progressive and original in their ideas and, if they have managed to learn from past experience and improve their judgment by taking a careful look at themselves and their situation, these are the years when they can really come into their own.
December 5 people are hard to ignore or dislike, and even though their ambitions may at times be over the top, colleagues and friends will often regard them with affection and tolerance. They have a real desire to make a positive contribution to society and, once they can direct their determination, focus and will-power to a worthy cause, they can and do find ways to benefit the greater good.
☆ On the dark side:Over-confident, conceited, unaware
☆ At your best:Self-assured, daring, energetic
Those born on December 5 are immensely confident of their ability to get things done.
Sometimes this confidence is justified, and sometimes it isn't. Those born on this day are indeed capable of great coups, but then again they are also capable of falling flat on their face. When they do fail, it is usually due to an unrealistic outlook, viewing prospects through rose-colored glasses, rather than any failure on their part to make a valiant effort. Thus they must come to recognize that it is not only the quality of one's efforts that makes for a successful outcome, but also planning and careful appraisal of an endeavor's chances aforethought.
December 5 people tend to be lively and dynamic types—rather charged personalities.
They are often intensely focused on what they are experiencing at any given time and because they are generous with their attention, equally eager to share such experiences with others.
Indeed, they can be surprised when those close to them don't share their views, or enjoy the same things they do. Of course, as December 5 people mature they become more tolerant and respectful of others' privacy, but this need to share intensely with another person remains.
Having the sort of confidence that December 5 people manifest of course has many benefits.
Those born on this day are relatively free of many worries and self-doubts that plague others.
However, they must acknowledge those difficulties that do indeed exist, for too often they assure themselves that everything is going fine when it isn't. Their barometer should be the vibes and feedback they receive from friends, associates, acquaintances, and even rivals or competitors.
Basically they have to learn that what others say and think has significance even if untrue.
Because December 5 people are active types, they are not ones to procrastinate or let things run their course. Though such an attitude in general is positive and makes their life less complicated, it can also involve them in trying to solve what is better left alone. Thus, for those born on this day, judgment and self-awareness are key. It is imperative that December 5 people have a very firm, realistic idea of what their role in life is and what their objectives are. Until that time they are apt to flounder, and despite their optimism, likely to grow discouraged. In fact, repeated failures may be a bitter but invaluable guide to realizations which form the bedrock of their experience.
When December 5 people come to recognize the nature of uncertainty, admit the power of fate and above all develop a feeling for the irony inherent in the human condition, they will have laid a solid, dependable framework for their future actions.

People born on December 5 long for a settled and secure relationship, but as soon as they are in one they may start to pick arguments or stir up trouble simply to keep the intensity alive. Partners may find this particularly difficult to deal with, and for long-term happiness in a relationship people born on this day need to find someone who is emotionally confident and direct.
People born on this day need to conserve their energy and watch out for problems with their bones and joints. Making sure they have enough calcium and magnesium in their diet is important, as is eating a healthy balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and oily fish. It would be wise for them to cut down on the amount of coffee they drink, as this can lead to insomnia; they need to be equally careful about excess sugar, salt, additives, and preservatives. Regular exercise will keep their bones and joints flexible, boosting all aspects of their health, while lots of different activities are recommended to keep them interested and motivated. Spending more time with loved ones is advised and, for those times when they feel alone, a few drops of rose, clary sage or frankincense essential oil on a handkerchief to breathe in will help produce feelings of inner security and self-acceptance; for relaxation and a good night’s sleep—which are both particularly important for them—they should try lavender.
December 5 people must be careful of accidents of all types. Particularly the more rash individuals born on this day may fearlessly tempt fate once too often. Both a stable diet and learning meditative practices can help bring their wilder energies in line. Particularly recommended are diets built around grains and root vegetables, without excess sugar and preservatives. Drugs of all types (particularly hallucinogens and uppers) should be avoided. A broad spectrum of physical activity is recommended for these kinetic individuals.
These people will thrive in any career in which they can be constantly stimulated. They may find themselves drawn to art, writing, music, fashion, filmmaking, and the world of entertainment. They may also excel in careers such as education, research, social reform, politics, and charity work.
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to be more realistic in their assessment of people and situations. Once they are able to examine themselves honestly, their destiny is to introduce and promote innovative concepts.
Take a hard look at yourself and your circumstances. Make an inventory of your abilities if you haven't already done so. Pay attention to what others say to you; occasionally follow their advice when it sounds reasonable.
