Although you are a restless and idealistic Sagittarian who yearns for adventure, travel, and excitement, your common sense and need for stability and security imply that you are also shrewd and observant. Nevertheless, your desire for variety and change suggests that you are not likely to rest on your laurels and settle for less than the best.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Leo, adds to your self-confidence, and with an optimistic spirit and enthusiasm, you can have many noble or lofty ideas. Outspoken, you usually have strong convictions and opinions that need to be expressed. Active, with good organizational skills, you are happier working or planning rather than wasting your energy on trivial pursuits. As you like to set a solid foundation and build from there, you can also benefit from working on ideals or long-term projects that you believe in.
Intelligent and intuitive, you know how to make use of any information at your disposal. Inspired by wisdom and desiring knowledge, you often take up education to prevent yourself from becoming bored. This suggests that you can benefit from exploring philosophy and spirituality. Whether your study is self-directed or conventional, you enjoy all kinds of mental pursuits that allow you to expand your horizons.
While you are between ages eight and thirty-seven, your progressed Sun moves through Capricorn. This brings a growing need for practical order and structure into your life, gradually making you more goal-oriented and responsible. There is a turning point at age thirty-eight when your progressed Sun moves into Aquarius, highlighting a desire for independence, progressive ideas, and expressing your individuality. Another change of emphasis occurs at age sixty-eight, when your progressed Sun moves into Pisces, accenting issues of emotional sensitivity, imagination, and psychic awareness.

Although you appear confident, an inner dichotomy reveals both a need to seek new and exciting experiences and a desire for peace of mind.

By learning to be introspective and calm, you can develop patience and inner serenity.
Your quick instincts and sensitivity can make you highly intuitive. By developing these qualities, you can utilize your insight and gain wisdom that can influence and inspire others.

Your quick and shrewd mind is likely to be full of money-making ideas that can help you succeed in business, particularly in sales, agency work, or promotion.

This may lead you to partnerships or team efforts that could be very productive for you. With your polished common sense and personal philosophy, you may become an advisor to others or be particularly interested in the study of psychology or spiritual thought.

Although you need stability, the restlessness indicated by the number 14 urges you to forge ahead or take on new challenges in a constant attempt to improve your lot.

Money and financial security may be important factors in your relationships, as you usually want security and comfort.

Others cannot help but admire the aura of energy, capability and efficiency exuded by those born on this day, December 14 people are active types who cannot bear to stand idle when there are things to do and progress to be made. Blessed with rational and yet imaginative intellects, mental and physical vigor, and strong organizational skills, they approach all their endeavors with enthusiasm and determination. Their decisiveness makes them natural leaders, and they have a talent for directing others with a firm but benevolent hand, frequently balancing their high expectations with a dash of humor. They will thrive in any profession where they are allowed the freedom of action to work toward their objectives unhindered by others’constraints (which is not to say that are not rigorously disciplined— to the contrary) and they are therefore especially suited to careers where research and development play an integral part—within the academic, manufacturing or pharmaceutical spheres, for example.
Although they are sociable people who display enormous goodwill toward those around them, in many respects those born on this day are self-contained and self-reliant types whose potential for fulfillment lies in their individual quests for discovery and prog- ress. Thus although others frequently turn to them for advice and support—and are never turned away—they may feel torn between their sense of social responsibil- ity and their profound desire to pursue their personal interests undisturbed by the demands of those around them. It is important therefore that their friends and relations respect their need for privacy and space, and that they in turn try to find a happy medium between their internal and external orientations.
