Born December 13

This is one of the most practical people of the year. December 13 takes enormous pleasure in any kind of do-it-yourself. Both sexes make many items about the house and garden and will do the same for others, which frequently takes them into a profession where they may decorate, garden or design for everybody else’s pleasure. Naturally, their good looks and charm help here. And a sympathetic psycheology which convinces customers that December 13 will make their life, their house or their person a little lovelier. For some this is the way to wealth. For all it’s the way to personal happiness and saving money which is one of December 13’s bugbears. Not natural shoppers, they resist paying good money for something they could make better themselves. Where money does come their way, this person will often give a great deal of it away to needy relatives, friends and charity, in particular those which care for the homeless. Because, for December 13, the home is the castle and so both sexes have a horror of not having one. Most form steady partnerships. Not as flirtatious and flittery as other December people. But nearly all are addicted to good looks and secretly would like their children to be attractive as well. Some of the men may go into sales and marketing, which they excel at with their brand of persuasive charm. Most of the women prefer more technical occupations, excellent with their hands and with computers. But all who work out of the home long to get back there each day and maybe finish the shelves or a piece of embroidery. When it comes to family occasions – Christmas, holidays – this individual can be coercive, especially the women, insisting that all members celebrate together or go on a trip which is no longer suitable for certain age groups. Occasionally intense rows may develop on these occasions when others beg to differ.

Body

Here’s something simple and glamorous for Christmas-loving December 13 to make: Gorgeous Napkin Rings. Take plain or dark green, red or blue painted napkin rings and using a permanent ink gold felt-tip pen, decorate them with stars. Twine ivy and flowers around napkin, winding cord over stem and tying on the underside to hold in place.. Wind gold paper around napkin, then tie with wire edged crimson and gold ribbon. Paint wooden acorns gold, the type used on roller blinds, and attach them to both ends of a length of gold cord. Tie cord round napkin, finishing off with an ivy leaf tucked into it.

Mind

Lucky stones for 13 include aventurine, which traditionally encourages independence, creativeness and tones down temper. Also chrysocolla, which helps psychic development, and chalcedony which is good for inducing cheeriness and mental peace.
