Language Of Birthdays: December 25 - Capricorn

[You can find the rest of the series here; or check out my masterlist]

The Day Of The Supernatural

December 25 people like to experience firsthand the more unusual side of life. It is that which releases us from mundane concerns that awakens their interest, often the quest for heightened or exalted states. They may reach such states through forms of art such as music and dance, through religious experience or perhaps imagination alone. However, the less highly evolved of this day may seek to escape from the demands of life or personal problems through a variety of means (stimulants or addictive substances, sensational diversions, etc.).

For many December 25 people, peak experiences have more to do with achievement and concrete deeds than with fanciful thought or imagination. Yet, such accomplishments may still have a fantastic side, and December 25 people are likely to push their abilities and talents to the outer edge of the envelope. Indeed, even the less exceptional people born on this day tend to go that extra mile where their career, hobbies or interests are concerned. Generally speak- ing, they place greater emphasis on transcending personal or social limits than on accumulating wealth or power.

Regardless of what their ultimate goal happens to be, most December 25 people are risk-takers. If businesspeople. they are not ones to sit on their investments; if artists or craftspeople, they are unlikely to grow complacent over the quality’ of their work; as family members, they tend to strive for a group ideal that rises far beyond everyday comforts and concerns. However, those born on this day must beware of overreaching themselves, as they may jeopardize the well-being of those dependent on them or perhaps unconsciously give in to self-destructive impulses

Because December 25 people tend to be so focused on reaching, attaining, transcending, they may in fact be missing out on some of what is going on at the present time, right now, around them. Therefore, it is important that those born on this day learn to savour the moment, relax a bit and sometimes even bask in the glow of their achievements. In this regard, December 25 people are fortunate when they have friends and loved ones who bring out their more play- ful side, and allow them to take life a bit less seriously. A large part of appreciating the state of things, life as it is, necessarily involves acceptance of imperfection (both in themselves and others). Indeed, when those born on December 25 can come to terms with the mundane world around them, the peak experiences they attain will be more meaningful, and their accomplish- ments more lasting.

Strengths:

• Achievement-oriented
• Bold

Weaknesses:

• Sensationalistic

Advice

As mentioned above, those born on December 25 must be careful around addictive substances, particularly coffee, amphetamines, alcohol and hallucinogens. Those born on this day also tend to gravitate to those foods which stimulate them, for example, spicy or salty things, sugar drinks or chocolate. When such foods awaken their appetite or give them a sense of well-being, those born on this day may in fact feel better, but in the long run they should concentrate on increasing fresh fruit and vegetable consumption and in general stick to a diet built around grains, low-fat dairy, and moderate meat or fish consumption. December 25 people are often suited for intense exercise, competitive or team sports, but they should, if possible, make such activities a regular part of their life rather than engaging in them sporadically.

• Be realistic, but don’t lose your sense of awe and wonderment
• Fight disillusionment
• Strike a bargain with the world and be open to those compromises thai make things a bit easier on yourself and others
• Keep it light
