Intelligent and inspired, your dynamic personality suggests that you are a Sagittarian with a forceful mind and an ambitious nature. Although you appear resourceful and courageous, your sensitivity and strong emotions imply that you may at times have self-doubts or insecure feelings. By learning to show your generosity and compassion, you can avoid being emotionally controlling or manipulative.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Aries, adds to your vitality, determination, and assertiveness, making you think independently. Although you are usually cautious, an adventurous streak suggests that you like an element of risk, which can bring changes and excitement. Since you have excellent executive ability, you like to take charge of situations. Your spirit of enterprise and need to freely express yourself indicate that you do not like to be confined.
Your intelligence and intuitive instinct usually make a powerful combination that urges you to be creative and materially successful.

December 8 individuals are passionate people, driven by their compulsion to live life to the full. Extraordinarily active in every respect, they often show intense emotional and sensual responses, throwing themselves wholeheartedly into any new venture or relationship that promises stimulation. Indeed, these individuals may be characterized as true idealists, engaged in a constant quest to realize their visions of perfection—intellectual, spiritual or emotional. In their search for their personal Utopia, they manifest boundless enthusiasm, determination and vigor, often inspiring others with their drive and infectious optimism.
The motives of December 8 individuals are rarely selfish, however. These people have a deep-rooted desire to bring happiness to others, and many will capitalize upon their artistic affinities to become pro- fessional writers, musicians, artists and performers.
Perhaps inevitably, given their high expectations, December 8 people may never feel that they have attained their elusive goals, even when others applaud them. They may spur themselves on to even greater efforts (especially if they were born in the Chinese year of the horse), or else sink into deep depression, when disappointed with themselves or the results of their efforts. It is important that their confidence be bolstered by understanding friends and relations, whose support helps to safeguard their emotional well-being. They should try to retain a realistic per- spective on their chances for success, and, while not giving up on their dreams, remember that some goals are unlikely to be achievable.
