Those born on this day are vigorous individuals who are often concerned with helping society to progress by implementing changes that will materially assist or inform a broad public. These socially responsible people feel a profound sense of connection with those around them and are therefore determined to do their utmost to remedy any perceived failings or abuses or to implement alternative systems of political or intellectual belief, technical innovations, or in some way positively to inspire others to follow the path that they believe to be the optimum one. December 20 individuals are astute and realistic assessors of any situation, and because they are predisposed to initiating responsive action as speedily and efficaciously as possible, are gifted problem-solvers and decision- makers. They supplement their capacity for incisive and direct thought with prodigiously practical skills, and also have a marked talent for motivating and organizing others. Clearly natural leaders, their ability and strength of conviction always shine through.
Their propensity for leading by example, mastery of technical and conceptual issues, and their social orien- tation suits those born on this day for careers where they can play a coaching role, and they may thus be found excelling in professional fields as varied as teaching, politics, the arts or sciences. Yet it is precisely because they believe so strongly in the importance and veracity of the messages that they communicate to their pupils, compatriots, or even humanity as a global entity, that those who hold alternative viewpoints may come to regard them as overly controlling, a danger that may present especial problems for their children if they are parents, or for their spouses.
