People born on December 8 tend to sparkle with energy and enthusiasm and their lively personality will attract attention wherever they go. Their passionate approach to life is their defining feature, and they display intense emotional and sensual responses. When an opportunity presents itself in either their personal or professional life, they rarely hesitate and jump in head first.
Whether it is committing to an individual, a team, a project, or an idea, they can’t see the point of being half-hearted; their nature is to give one hundred per cent. True idealists, people born on this day are constantly engaged in a quest to find fulfillment, emotional, intellectual or spiritual, and their infectious optimism may inspire others to seek their own personal nirvana. The trouble is that the perfect fulfillment they seek is unobtainable, and this can cause them to become manic or confused in their search for stimulation. Relaxing their expectations of perfection and understanding that imperfection is the natural human state is essential for their psychological growth.
Until the age of forty-three there is an emphasis in their lives on the need for order or structure; they should take advantage of opportunities presented to them to be more practical in their approach. This is because they don’t always tend to direct their energy well, and their lack of good judgment can cause them to get involved in relationships or situations that are destructive or obsessive. After the age of forty-four there is another turning point, and this time they may feel a growing need to develop their individuality.
Whatever age they are, the key to their potential for happiness and success is to be more cautious and aware in their approach to people and situations so that their passionate intensity does not overpower their common sense. With a little more realism added to their stunning repertoire of creativity and idealism, they will find the fulfilling passion they have been searching for all their lives, in the process bringing great happiness to others.
☆ On the dark side:Obsessive, addictive, irresponsible
☆ At your best:Energetic, charismatic, passionate
Those born on December 8 throw themselves completely into their endeavors. Not only is this true of their professional life, but of their private life as well. In their relationships, both as friends and lovers, they give all of their heart without holding back. Once they make up their mind they are totally committed.
Problems can arise for December 8 people regarding the depth of their commitment and accompanying sense of responsibility. If they are forced to leave a family situation or work group, for example, they can suffer tremendous guilt and agonize over having run out on those dear to them, even if circumstances were clearly beyond their control. If their involvement could be a bit more objective, or if they were able to hold something in reserve, this would not be so but, alas, this is rarely the case. However, through experiencing disappointments over a period of many years, those born on this day may learn not to give everything they have every time (hopefully without hardening their generous nature).
December 8 people are supercharged with a surfeit of energy, but do not always direct it well. Often they devote themselves to projects which have failure written all over them, but they can't see it at the outset. In addition they have a tendency, particularly regarding sex and love, to get involved in highly destructive relationships. It may take years for them to recover from such obsessive, wrenching involvements. Yet they are rarely satisfied with "normal" companionships; they seem to seek out the most exciting and all-absorbing people they can find, who require all of their attention and energy. It may take them some time to realize that what they are giving can never be enough and as a matter of fact, far less is coming back. In this respect they are addictive personalities. What some born on this day are compulsively driven toward is abandon itself, which allows them to forget whatever may be bothering them (fears, anxieties and personality problems, for example).
More highly evolved December 8 people are able to direct their prodigious energy into their work. The same driving spirit and even wildness will be there in what they produce, but they themselves will be able to lead quite stable and socially acceptable lives. Such people are indeed enviable, since they appear to have their cake and eat it too. Actually, however, they must maintain constant vigilance if they wish to remain so balanced.
Thus, cultivating watchfulness and awareness is vitally important to December 8 people. If they are fortunate enough to early on find someone worthy of their devotion and attentions they are indeed blessed. But they must realize that friends, lovers and work associates are not always capable of returning their level of commitment and concern. They must therefore set realistic expectations and strive for objectivity in their relationships (indeed in all their projects) in order to safeguard and preserve them.
Power Thought:I am the creative and responsible power in my world,The soul must be freed, whatever the cost
Those born on the 8th day of the month are ailed by the number 8 and by the planet Saturn. Because Saturn carries a strong feeling of responsibility and an accompanying sense of caution and limitation, and Jupiter (ruler of Sagittarius) represents the opposite tendency, toward expansion and optimism, a tremendous conflict may be at work in December 8 people. They can find themselves pulled this way and then that, first in the direction of acting responsibly, with care and commitment, then in the direction of absolute freedom and excess. Those ruled by the number 8 tend to build their lives and careers slowly and carefully, but as mentioned above this may not be the case for December 8 people. Although they are most often warmheaned. those ruled by the number 8 can present a cool or detached exterior.
The 8th card of the xMajor Arcana is Strength or Courage, which depicts a graceful queen taming a furious lion. The queen symbolizes the female Magician who can master rebellious energies and stands for moral as well as physical strength. This card's positive attributes include charisma and determination to succeed: the negative qualities include complacency and the misuse of power.
☆Luck maker:(Think before you act)Lucky people actively take steps to reduce the number of mistakes they make by learning about the issues involved and listening to knowledgeable people before acting.
You’re drawn to people born on December 22 to January 19:You have much to argue about, but the attraction between you is such that making up afterwards will be wonderful.
People born on December 8 tend to be attracted to people with opposing views to their own and therefore to tempestuous relationships. It is important for them not to confuse tension with passion. Once in a long-term relationship they can be incredibly romantic and spontaneous, but their partner needs to be aware that their resolve may not always hold firm when they are tempted to stray.
People born on this day tend to go to bed in the small hours of the morning and if possible to get up as late as they can. Although everyone has natural sleep preferences, they should try to make sure they are in bed by midnight as studies show that people who do this tend to get better-quality sleep, which is essential for the physical and emotional health and well-being of these people. They should also beware of recreational drugs and alcohol because they have addictive tendencies that need to be managed and minimized. As far as diet is concerned, moderation is the key; the same goes for exercise, which is extremely important for them for its mood-boosting powers. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color blue will encourage them to be more objective and responsible, and carrying a titanium quartz crystal can help them think before they act.
December 8 people must beware of all sorts of physical and psychological addictions, which can work to the detriment of their health (addiction is characterized by physiological need, ever increasing dosages for effect, and withdrawal symptoms upon removal of the substance). Possibly because of the release of endomorphins in the brain, many of us can become addicted to a wide variety of substances, experiences and even people. This danger is simply greater for December 8 people than most. Therefore, they must cultivate moderation, thoughtfulnesv awareness and the capacity to view their experiences more dispassionately.
These people tend to go where their heart leads them, and as long as they can sustain their passionate intensity their potential for success is strong whatever career they choose. They also have a great desire to inspire others, so they may excel as writers, dancers, actors, singers, artists, and performers. Self-employment will be an appealing option for them, as might working for large enterprises with plenty of opportunities for career advancement, change and travel.
The life path of people born on this day is to balance their passion with their need to be more responsible. Once they are able to direct their instincts, their destiny is to bring happiness to others.
You can succeed in taming yourself without losing your spirit. Don't be afraid of acting responsibly (the rewards are great ). Allow yourself the best chance for happine^
