December 1 Zodiac Birthday Signs – Independent and ambitious, you are a determined Sagittarian with idealistic aspirations. Although you need the freedom to express yourself and pursue your aims and interests, you are also a sociable and charming individual. Enthusiastic and optimistic, you like to leave your options open for opportunities or adventure, and you do well by staying focused.

The double influence of your ruling planet, Jupiter, implies that you prefer to see the broad plan rather than the fine detail, and you are a good organizer. Although you may be occupied with mundane issues, your need for spiritual insight implies that you seek a practical philosophy to help you feel confident and secure. The dynamic power and the restlessness indicated by your birthday suggest that life has a lot in store for you. Although productivity is associated with your birthday, you may have to guard against being overly zealous or impatient.

A struggle between idealistic and materialistic tendencies suggests that a scattering of your energies or lack of self-motivation may be your greatest challenges. An inclination to give up under stress or become easily bored can be overcome by carefully planning your projects and persevering in what you aim for. If you are hardworking and practical, you can use natural common sense and intuition to think instinctively and quickly. At times direct and outspoken, with strong opinions, you take a gamble and strive for honesty at all costs.

Up to the age of twenty, you are optimistic and adventurous, with a strong desire to expand your opportunities. This may be through taking chances, education, or travel. A turning point occurs as you reach the age of twenty-one, when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn. This brings a more pragmatic, orderly, and structured approach to your life. You acquire a greater sense of how to realistically achieve your goals. There is another change of emphasis at age fifty-one, when your progressed Sun moves into Aquarius. This highlights issues regarding friendship, group awareness, and independence. You may decide to share some of your more progressive ideas with others.

Work & Vocation

Independent and strong-willed, you have natural leadership abilities that can ensure your success at the forefront of your field if you are only willing to exercise the necessary self-discipline. You are practical, with an honest and direct approach, and others appreciate knowing where they stand with you. Your organizational skills show a talent for administration, but this may not provide enough stimulation to keep you happy unless it also involves people and variety. With your original ideas, you often enjoy initiating your own projects or do much to improve existing systems.

Famous people who share your birthday include comedian/director Woody Allen, comedian Richard Pryor, musician Jaco Pastorius, ballerina Alicia Markova, singer/actress Bette Midler, and golfer Lee Trevino.

The subinfluence of the number 12 month indicates that you are friendly, with a generous personality. Although you are idealistic, with a daring and optimistic attitude, you want to keep your feet firmly on the ground and use your good common sense.
