Sun Sign: Sagittarius/Jupiter
Decanate: Sagittarius/Mars; Numbers: 3, 9
Sometimes December 9 just can't get out of bed. In fact you'll find many of them curled up while the midday sun tries to get in through a window and wake them. But they aren't lazy. It's just that this is an owl person. They fly at night. And if they could, and some can, they'd work at night.
The owl really gets going as the day starts to end, and in fact this is the reason why so many work late, because it's the time when they feel most alert. Nightbirds hunt their prey in the dark and it's no different for December 9 who can leave work at nine and slink into a club, making all heads turn as they walk in. In youth, many of these watchful creatures dance and flirt and then go back to work. Find them in the computer business where late hours are a must and in television or films where it's normal to work through the night. Or the police force, armed services or even politics.
Jupiter's little owlette is a nice guy or girl. They may like to eat hamburgers at 4am but they don't in general take drugs or drink much. But anybody interested must be prepared to keep them company. If December 9 has to get to work early, he can do it. Unpunctuality is not a characteristic and some become extremely indignant if others keep them waiting for more than five minutes.
In private the owl keeps up his and her habits in later life. Both sexes will read or watch television and videos through the night, or just potter about waiting for the exquisite freshness and beauty of the dawn. Naturally they make good parents because getting up in the middle of the night comes easily.
And like the owl, who can see backwards, one invaluable characteristic of this date is their extraordinary vigilance and sensitive perception about what makes others tick.
The ultraromantic individuals born on this day are intuitive, imaginative, and sentimental. You are so devoted to those you love that you would willingly sacrifice everything you have for them. More than anything, you want a meaningful intimate relationship in your life. However, you’re prone to falling hopelessly in love with an ideal, and if the real person doesn’t live up to your mythological image you can be devastated. Besides, too much emotional involvement with others tends to sap your vitality. You require time on your own to reconnect with yourself and restore your equilibrium.
Your dreamy approach to lovemaking makes you long to create a romantic atmosphere for your bedroom trysts. You use a unique combination of intuition and creativity to invent exotic ways to please and be pleased in bed. In carefully setting the stage for loving, you provide the perfect backdrop for your emotionally charged sensuality. Your chameleonlike flair for the dramatic gives you a talent for role playing and acting out your favorite fantasies. Once sparked, your tireless libido spurs you on to moments of exquisite intimacy.
Eating odd foods at odd hourst especially fast food, sometimes encourages cystitis, mostly a feminine complaint, but men get it too, particularly those with prostate or urethra problems. Medical help should be sought. Flush out kidneys with copious quantities of camomile tea or just plain warm water. Avoid coffee, tea and alcohol. Diet should rely on alkaline-forming fruit and vegetables. Eat quantities of yoghurt each day, about 700ml, or try acidophilus tablets (yoghurt bacteria). Aromatherapy consists of warm compresses over the lower back, massage and aromatic baths. Helpful essential oils include bergamot, camomile, cedarwood, eucalyptus, juniper, lavender, pine and sandalwood.
The tactile pleasure of a sensual massage with aromatic oils calms your harried mind as it eases your body into a state of deep relaxation. Playful teasing with a feather adds a touch of whimsy to your erotic foreplay. Besides letting your lover know what you like to do, or have done to you, expressing your lusty desires verbally really turns you on.
