Many of those born on this day feel torn between their desire to forge their own path through life and their profound sense of responsibility for others— be they their families, friends, colleagues, or even the fellowship of humanity. Blessed with imaginative, innovative and curious minds, on the one hand these vigorous people feel compelled to pursue the interests they love, while on the other their fair-mindedness and empathy with those whom they perceive to be victims of injustice urges them to champion the oppressed. When these tendencies are imbalanced, December 2 people may experience frustration. They have quick tempers when crossed, particularly if they were also born in the Chinese year of the dragon. If they can reconcile their need for independence with their concern for promoting the welfare of others, they have the potential not only to attain personal satisfaction, but to make contributions to society, perhaps as pioneering scientists or inspirational artists. Those around them respect the strength of charac- ter of December 2 people and may often elevate them to positions of leadership—a responsibility that those born on this day may view ambivalently. Although they have an enviable gift for organization and motivation and would far rather command than obey, they may feel that their leadership duties preclude them from pursu- ing their own ambitions. A similarly ambiguous atti- tude characterizes their relationships with their nearest and dearest (which is even more pronounced in the women who share this birthdate), for while they man- ifest deep affection and protectiveness for their loved ones, they may sometimes feel stifled by their (often self-imposed) duties of caretaking.
