December 2nd: THE DAY OF LARGER-THAN-LIFE
Those born on December 2nd are possessed of tremendous spirit. No matter how small their physical frame, they will exert an influence on their surroundings far beyond what on might expect on first meeting them. It is only when seen in action that they really shine. So magical is their effect that those involved with them may sometimes feel as if they've been hit with a bolo punch.
The December 2nd judgemental aspect is very expansive, for better or for worse. On the one hand, those born on this day are keen evaluators, true judges of honesty and integrity, but on the other hand they are capable of harobing grudges and taking their often furious tempers out on those who have transgressed. Less highly evolved individuals born on this day can do a great ammount of damage to others and to themselves through manipulating emotions and demanding approval or allegiance from those close to them. Generally, however, December 2nd people remain convinced of their own rightness, and only much later are they able, if at all, to admit that they were indeed wrong in what they did or said.
December 2nd people not only display a strong character but also practically worship it in those they respect. December 2nd people are not ones to follow like sheep but nonetheless can be swept along by a powerful personality or a cause which appeals to their ideals. A basic faith in humankind is characteristic of those born on this day. Indeed, they are facinated by the whole kaleidoscope of human emotions, actions, thoughts and feelings-from the most base and treacherous to the most pure and idealized. Life is their God, but life supercharged by belief and by daring achievements. Generally those born on this day are confrontational when provoked but not overly aggressive. Since they rarly back down, refusing to give in may amount to a mania with them.
Too often December 2nd people see life as a struggle in which they must emerge the victor. However, what they are fighting for is not necassarily their personal welfare but the survival of certain basic human values, as they see it. Along with character and faith, integrity also rates high with them. Thus when they find they have acted basely, or in an unworthy fashion, they may become severely repentant. Guilt often figures as a major theme in their lives.
Developing their individualism, and both finding and following their spirtual path are the greatest challenges for December 2nd people. Often they stray from this path, but their indomitable spirit never seems to forsake them, even in their most trying hour. Learning to distinguish between what is false and what is real, what is illusion and what is truly meaningful, is the constant preoccupation of their difficult and complex lives
NUMBERS AND PLANETS
Those born on the 2nd of the month are ruled by the number 2 and by the moon. Number 2 people often make good co-workers and partners rather than leaders. However, Moon influences can also act as a brake on individual initiative and action, producing frustration, particularly for those under the undue influence of a more dominant personality. This is further enhanced by the Moon's strongly reflective and passive tendencies. Combined with the jupiterian qualities of Sagittarius, Moon influences support nurturing and generous impulses. If a second child, some December 2nd people can have trouble establishing themselves as individuals since they have formed a conception of themselves subordinated to a powerful older sibling.
TAROT
The 2nd card of the Major Arcana is The Priestess, shown seated in her throne, calm and impenetrable. She is a spiritual woman who reveals hidden forces and secrets, empowering those of us who heed her with that knowledge. Favorable qualities of this card are quietude, intuition, reserve and discretion; negative values are secretiveness, mistrust, indifference, and inertia.
HEALTH
December 2nd people's health is aided by their belief in themselves. However, they still need to have regular yearly checkups with a trusted family physician. They are apt to let small problems (infections, miscellaneous aches and pains, headaches or stomachaches) go too long without being diagnosed or treated. They must be particular careful of problems with their lower venous system, especially insults to their cardiovascular system and leg veins which can lead to varicosities in later life. They should work on improving their appetite and diet by deepening their interset in food preparation. As far as exercise is concerned, only moderate activity is recommened. Sleep ( as much as 10 hours if necessary) is particularly important to their mental health, since they need plenty of dream time.
ADVICE
Watch your temper. Regardless of what people say, winning isn't everything. Real self-assurance will minimize your need to be appreciated. Try to be less judgemental and condemning. To improve, one must first acknowledge weakness and faults.
