Blessed with soaring imaginations, December 18 people are fascinated by concepts that those of a less original turn of mind might dismiss, but are also determined to translate their dreams into reality. Even from childhood those born on this day may often have formulated a game plan for life that revolves around the specific interests that absorb their attention. They remain resolutely focused, regardless of the vicissitudes they may experience, the tempting diversions that may present themselves, or even the doubts of those to whom they have confided their aspirations. Always keeping their ultimate objectives firmly in mind, they work meticulously toward their achievement, displaying resourcefulness, ingenuity, and practical and organizational talents in the process.
These qualities inspire the admiration of those around them, and their effectiveness in terms of results cannot but win over even the most hardened of skeptics.
Those born on this day will flourish in any profes- sion where they can retain their autonomy and are therefore better suited to careers that allow for such independence, perhaps those encompassed by science and technology, the arts or the sporting arena. Innately resistant to toeing the corporate line, December 18 people are nevertheless charismatic leaders, a gift that, when combined with their ability to maintain a broader view, equips them admirably as politicians. Despite the respect they inspire, and their goodwill to those around them, those who seek more intimate relationships with December 18 people (men espe- cially) may find it hard to access the emotional side of their characters.
