Those born on December 23rd refuse to be ignored; they perceive neglect as a personal challenge and retaliate. For them, struggle is a natural state of life, and they face pressure unflinchingly. This is not to say they never doubt themselves—such feelings merely drive them to improve and excel. In fact, dissatisfaction with the status quo fuels their pursuit of dreams, distinguishing them from mere daydreamers.
Practical and grounded, yet somewhat stubborn, they can be difficult to get along with. They resent challenges to their authority and resist overly progressive ideas—unless the ideas are their own. Thus, a vital lesson for them is to remain open to criticism and advice once in positions of power or influence, discerning constructive feedback from mere criticism.
For these individuals, empathy—especially emotional empathy—is not the core of their self-worth. Though they may project friendliness or casual warmth, they often appear aloof and distant. Males born on this day must avoid excessive chauvinism; females, authoritarianism. In later years, they must learn the art of yielding, granting younger generations room to grow. Additionally, their penchant for active roles makes retirement particularly challenging.
