Their desire to effect results marks out December
17 people, who are go-getters and have little patience with those who prefer to ponder interminably rather than make a decision. This is not to say that they are unthinking or impulsive—on the contrary—rather that those born on this day are blessed with the ability quickly to sum up and assess the components of a situation and then to devise straightforward strategies with which to move forward. Vigorous, practical and progressive types, they undertake nothing half- heartedly. This uncompromisingly direct attitude characterizes their approach to all their endeavors, and also defines their preferred stance within their interpersonal relationships, often with mixed success. Although these natural leaders have a gift for firing the enthusiasm of, directing and organizing, their colleagues, their attempts to marshal their nearest and dearest along the lines that they are convinced are the best (especially if they are men) may not always be appreciated. They may also find it difficult to embark on new relationships, as they can often appear unapproachable and are rarely demonstrative, although they are sociable, cheerful and ebullient.
Despite their somewhat abrupt manner, however, December 17 individuals feel a strong and benevo- lent sense of connection with, and responsibility for their families, friends, coworkers and others. They will readily spring to the defense of their loved ones and are dependable allies. Their capacity to pinpoint faults within situations and remedy them suits them well for management careers; they may also be attracted to the business sphere or other fields in which they can make their mark on the wider world.
