Blessed with original imaginations and the desire to explore concepts that less visionary types would condemn as unfeasible, December 16 people are profound thinkers with the potential to make significant contributions. They are also articulate and persuasive and tend to make strong first impressions on others. Their logical and objective approach to new issues precludes any tendency to succumb to flights of fancy. While open-minded enough to consider a wide variety of opinions and possibilities, they subject the ideas that attract their interest to rigorous examination. Once convinced of the validity of their theses, December 16 people tend to pursue their goals with vigor, concentration and tenacity, rarely deflected by the opposition they might encounter. In many respects they therefore present somewhat solitary figures, for although they possess the courage of their convictions, they may find themselves isolated from others by their need to pursue their own agenda.
Those born on this day will flourish when uncon- strained by society’s norms and conventions, and will almost certainly feel stifled within corporate structures. They are better suited for careers as academic or scien- tific researchers and innovators in such problem-solv- ing fields as software development or production man- agement. They thrive in jobs where they can express their own ideas, whether designing software, building plumbing systems, or writing copy. Their ultimate pur- pose is usually unselfish and they often have a social concern that may not be immediately apparent. Their deep affection for those closest to them sometimes appears compromised by their drive to achieve, but they are capable of forming loyal partnerships.
