Devoted intellectual
With your dynamic emotions, intuition, and warmth, you have a natural gift for dealing with people. Your Capricorn birthday suggests that your innate practicality enables you to work enthusiastically toward your ideals. As well as charm, you possess good organizational skills and a creative intellect. Be careful, however, that an inner restlessness does not deter you from realizing your unique potential.
With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Capricorn, you are reliable; and have a strong sense of duty. Faithful and loyal, you can be ardent in your desire to help others. Although capable of good concentration when interested in a project, you may still need to develop patience if you tend to become bored too quickly.

Financial problems, however, may sometimes interfere with the expression of your heart’s desires, or it may seem that satisfaction is always around the corner. Through self-analysis, being responsible, and learning to let go of the past, you can avoid emotional instability.
Up to the age of twenty-five you feel a need for order and structure in your life, and practical considerations are important.

You become more sociable and group conscious as well as desiring to express your own individuality. Another turning point occurs at the age of fifty-six, when your progressed Sun moves into Pisces. This is likely to bring increased emphasis to your emotional receptivity, imagination, or psychic and spiritual awareness.

Such is the vigorous nature of the people born on this day that they are not content simply to dream of their visionary aspirations but seek to transform them into reality. December 26 people are blessed with incisive perspicacity, supplemented by profound empathy with those whom they perceive as victims of society’s failings or abuses. When they identify such faults, they invariably take remedial action. This combination of characteristics attracts them to fields that are concerned with effecting human progress, perhaps by instituting more enlightened political systems, technical innovations, social service work or creative use of the media. They relish the opportunity to rise to a demanding challenge, but their ultimate goal is to further the common good through their work. While they project themselves as intense, serious people, those born on December 26 are dependable, loyal friends who are admired and loved for their supportive, committed presence. They may, however, be very slow to form their deep relationships, because their ideals sometimes generate unrealistic expectations of others.
Their sense of social concern does not preclude their insistence on freedom of thought and action, which may lead them to adopt a combative stance when they believe their right to personal autonomy is threatened, or when others behave in a manner con- trary to their convictions. And although their deter- mination and ability to lead by example marks them out as dynamic team leaders, their unwillingness to brook ideological dissent in coworkers, or even family members and friends, may disrupt the harmony they seek in promoting the common purpose.
