Those born on this day are tenacious and ambitious people; they may act according to a long-term plan formulated as early as childhood. Financial security is important to them, but they are more intent on attaining the high standards they set for themselves, or on implementing ideological concepts that they see as beneficial to society. December 22 people will flourish in professional activities that allow them total autonomy and promise tangible results—for example, as freelancers or self-starting entrepreneurs. Pragmatic realists, they recognize that enduring progress cannot be achieved overnight or without cooperation. Thus they understand the need for meticulous preparation (especially if they were born in the Chinese year of the ox) and have the patience to bide their time, working steadily behind the scenes until they see the opportunity to put their plans into action.
Their ability to focus on visionary goals while pay- ing attention to detail makes them effective direc- tors of their coworkers, who generally respect their strength of purpose and capability. Yet those born on this day are generally more preoccupied with realizing their aims than with fostering congenial working rela- tionships and may appear to stand apart from others. A similar attitude defines their family relationships, especially with their children, of whom they have the highest expectations. Their controlling tendency may stem from the desire to safeguard the welfare of their loved ones, but it often creates resentment. They should bear in mind the negative effects that may result from their focus on achievement, especially its potential to alienate those closest to them, who may not share their ideals.
