Perhaps the most obvious trait of December 12 people is their tendency to express their emotions and convictions in the public arena. Generally, they are not seeking notice for its own sake, but in the belief that they have an important message to impart to the world—one that will help people to progress. Highly perceptive in terms of both intellect and intuition, their profound sense of justice causes them to react strongly to social abuses. Their attempts to redress these are pursued with vigor and unwavering determination—even (or especially) in the face of opposition.
December 12 people make effective and popular teachers and are often successful in the fields of mar- keting and sales, especially when they are promoting novel or technological products. Their outgoing per- sonalities help them in people-centered jobs.
Although the causes that inspire December 12 people vary, all feel compelled to share them with the world through their talent for communication, which is even more pronounced if they were born in the Chinese year of the horse. Whether they employ verbal, literary, visual or musical media, their ability to hold the attention of their audiences—either by shocking or delighting—augurs well for their suc- cess. Many are aware that by opening such conduits for discussion they will excite negative as well as pos- itive reactions, but believe that the potential benefits outweigh the risks, or sometimes simply cannot keep silent. The real danger, however, is that they may for- feit their privacy—and that of others whose love and support is vital to their emotional well-being.
