Born December 04
December 4 is a bit of a bruiser. They sail the skies in a stolen vessel in search of treasure and maybe fame. Sometimes this Robin Hood star is wrapped in the golden cloak of generosity. Other times he runs up the skull and crossbones and other ships in the sea of stars should take care. Take a wide berth. This creature is most successful as a self-made businessman or woman. Although they may rise high in companies, theirs is the kick-over-the-traces tendency. They can’t see the point of an empty desk policy and they certainly can’t pussyfoot about while Human Resources slow coaches hum and haw. Ms Robin Hood is just as impatient as men who are born on this day. And prone to violent flashes of temper with maybe the odd swear word, although she never means to offend and always apologises. They just can’t bear jobsworths. And they’re impatient with those who drone on about how it has always been done. Give her her own set-up and she’s like a fireball, rushing here and there, seeing to everything and making a success of it. This lady very easily combines childbirth with money-making and she’s a jolly mother. No fads here about not eating chocolate and not watching television. But equally she encourages self-discipline and her kids are some of the nicest to be with. The male of the species is a less perfect parent because most of the time he’s not there and when he is, he can’t understand how children dare to disobey his daft, sometimes outdated rules. Less powerful creatures born on this day may have a problem with making up their minds and can go in for irritating chops and changes, but like their stronger co-stars still won’t brook much guidance or interference. There’s a tendency with both sexes to be coercive with those who disagree, sometimes happy to merely shout down the opposition.
Body
Lavender oil is a great calmant and good for those who lose their temper because they can’t get to sleep. It reigns supreme in skin conditions, particularly acne and is a super sedative and pain-killing essence. Spray on pillow or place a piece of cotton wool with four or five lavender drops on it inside the pillow case to stop insomnia. Aromatherapists use it for boils, colds, coughs, flatulence, insect bites and stings, migraine, muscular aches and pains, premenstrual syndrome, sinusitis and as an air freshener. Its balancing action is best suited to those suffering from hysterical states of mind or wildly fluctuating moods.
Mind
In Tarot, the 4th card of the Major Arcana is The Emperor. He brings this individual worldly brilliance, energy and at its best, balanced domination. But again there’s some roughness to be controlled and dangerous violence just below the surface.
