Sometimes heedless December 7 goes in for the slow jilt where love is concerned. They are emotionally lazy and like to let things work out for themselves, but in the case of an overeager, unwanted lover, this is cruel.

December 7 loves the world for what it is, not what it ought to be and is therefore one of the most contented people of the year. They expect, and get, a great deal of happiness. And they'd like a great deal of money to follow suit. Very often this happens because December 7 is so tolerant, broad-minded and humorous that somehow the world wants to reward this naturally affectionate creature.
These people really don't seem to make much effort but always hit lucky. Others strive, December 7 merely attends, a starry magnet for all good pleasures. Both sexes love material things, but their good design eye is critical of gracelessness. Bright colours abound in private and work - they may be involved in the decorating business, or with something visual. But this is not a date which favours flash cars or tinkly chandeliers. In style they often prefer contemporary items with a 1996 feel, having little of the nostalgic longing for times past. The time present is what they prefer.
December has maxi-tolerance for others' foibles, religions and culture and zero tolerance for prejudice, which is one of the few things which can arouse this centaur to boiling rage. They will take up a cause in this area extremely effectively, but are not at all prey to political correctness, which they find funny.
They may choose work which involves travel, speaking several languages and always fitting in to any country. Find them in the tourist industry where they delight in attending to other people's pleasure. Most December 7 women enjoy homemaking, even if they work. Natural mothers, many are likely to give birth in their forties or later and the male of the species may find himself a father at seventy.
No matter. This is a long-lived day. Their house is usually full of guests, neighbours, relatives and friends and any child born to them is in for a good time.
In a romantic union, you’re ardent and generous. You regard love as a glorious experience, yet you require time alone for private contemplation.
Consequently, you may have difficulty finding a partner who is tuned to your wavelength and willing to adjust to your mood swings. Moreover, archers are natural hunters. Although you mean to be faithful, coping with day-to-day realities isn’t your strong point. If your lover makes too many demands, you may ride off into the sunset. You can be faithful in a successful relationship, but only if you feel free and unfettered.
Your sex drive is strong but erratic. While physical attraction sparks your interest initially, it takes intellectual stimulation to hold it indefinitely.
Boredom is anathema to you, both in and out of the bedroom. You’d much rather take part in an interesting, lively conversation than a dull sexual experience. Spontaneity, fun, and excitement matter more to you than grand passion. Your ideal lover knows that the best way to please you is to alternate periods of hot sex with various and sundry nonsexual activities.
December 7'sfull house needs feeding, and this day always finds a quick way to do so. Try Tomato Ice.

Remove from freezer, leave at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving. Pile crystals into individual glasses, garnish with mint and serve as soon as possible.
The mate who whisks you off to exotic faraway places or introduces you to new experiences that broaden your knowledge of the world has the edge with you. Even a short getaway relaxes you and soothes your restless spirit.
Spending time outdoors with your lover, camping, hiking, and making love under the stars, restores your good humor.
Sometimes heedless December 7 goes in for the slow jilt where love is concerned. They are emotionally lazy and like to let things work out for themselves, but in the case of an overeager, unwanted lover, this is cruel.
You have a philosophical mind that grasps the overall picture but is turned off by petty details. While you view existence as an adventure, life is not all fun and games to you. As the truth seeker of the zodiac, your gaze is fixed on the far horizon, and you long to make the world a better place for everyone.
