December 22 Birthday Astrology

Although their circle of friends is likely to be small, people born on this day derive a great deal of happiness and emotional security from these relationships. They want to love deeply yet are afraid of the pain a broken relationship can inflict. It's only when they learn to blindly trust their feelings that they find the perfect mate.

These people have a somewhat old-fashioned view of family life; their idealistic view of their upbringing is likely to stay with them. They have no trouble relating to children emotionally. They make excellent parents but find it difficult to be disciplinarian and "buddy," so they may depend on a spouse to handle punishments.

December 22 natives are constantly changing their views on nutrition and health. Because they naturally remain slim, they can misinterpret what constitutes a healthy diet. Women born on this date may have issues with food. Learning not to be afraid of the emotions that food can trigger requires therapy, not willpower.

December 22 people take their career responsibilities seriously and are likely to have a reputation for being workaholics. This isn't negative unless they work in order to avoid issues in their lives, especially relationship issues. Maintaining their lifestyle takes considerable resources. Fortunately, they can handle this perfectly.

December 22 natives are often shy about revealing their goals, in case of failure. Being able to "have it all" is their dream; they have seen too many others make sacrifices for career success that ended in unhappy personal lives. They don't want to lose what they have at home but are unwilling to give up on career success.
