Born December 11
December 11 is susceptible to colds and things and my goodness don’t they go on about it. Many born at this dark turn of the year have a tendency to go down with things, but Sagittarius recovers quickly and nearly always goes on to live an exceptionally long and vigorous life. As does this little jam tart. It’s just that they like to go all sticky when their pastry isn’t perfect. And maybe they also have a taste for being looked after. In particular male December 11 needs pampering to a high degree, even when he’s well. He sees himself as a racehorse and his partner as the owner/stable girl, there to provide him with protein-enriched, healthy, slimming foods, and constant exercise followed by rub downs. If he performs well, December 11 also expects a sweet treat and a great deal of nuzzling. Not surprisingly quite a few business magnates who behave like this are born on December 11. Girls born today take a lot of time off and talk endlessly about which stage their particular bug has reached. They ruin dinner parties and children’s outings by virtuously declining to go at the last minute because others ‘won’t thank them’ when they catch whatever it is. In summer they talk darkly of nuclear reactions to wasps and are always searching for ants in their pants. Really and truly it’s best to keep December 11 away from the country because they think it’s packed full with danger. And if they stepped on a cow pat you’d never hear the end of their worries that Mad Cow Disease might have travelled through their shoe and up their leg to the brain. Travel is a problem for December 11 because they think they’re going to get ill and often do on plane, car, boat or train. But when they’re not discussing all of this, and can be diverted with a good bottle of wine, they are imaginative and fun.
Body
December 11 sometimes believes that he or she has inherited ill health. Mostly it’s nonsense. Alleviate this state of mind by taking one of the Bach Flower remedies especially designed by Dr Edward Bach to cure this feeling. Wild Rose (Rosa canina), is for people who murmur ‘It’s in the family’ about minor ailments or depression. And for those who bore others by failing to turn up to events. (The frantic manager-type may be a nervous reaction to the same set of preoccupations.) After taking Wild Rose people report a more outward-looking approach, feelings of joy, strength and hope.
Mind
Lucky precious stones for this day are topaz, amethyst and sapphire. The amethyst is a supposed remedy for headaches, the sapphire gives protection from ill wishers and guards chastity. And the topaz traditionally averts asthma and encourages faithfulness.
