Born December 17

If Today is Your Birthday: December Seventeenth

Personality Profile for People Born on December 17

The following descriptions reveal some of the characteristics of people who share a birthday—those who are born on December 17th of any year—based on various methods used in Astrology, Numerology, and Cartomancy. Note that both Astrology and Numerology reveal much more depth when a birth year, and in the case of the former, a birth time and place are included.

The Astrology & Numerology of your Birthday

Your Sun is in Sagittarius in the Leo decanate and Virgo quadrant.

The ruler of your Sun in Sagittarius is Jupiter. Jupiter is jovial, optimistic, idealistic, and philosophical. Secondary rulers of your Sun are the Sun itself and Mercury. The Sun adds a proud, dignified, warm, and authoritative side to your nature; while Mercury lends an analytical, intelligent, mischievous, and communicative bent.

Your Sun Sign:

Sagittarius has a lively personality and is an optimist. Considered one of the most fun-loving signs of the zodiac, Sagittarians are direct, forthright, and sometimes completely tactless as they say exactly what they’re thinking! This can be seen as refreshing honesty, or bluntness, depending on the audience.

Sagittarius is restless and inquisitive, often making quick jaunts impulsively just for a change of scenery. Constantly seeking out something new and stimulating, Sagittarians often have another goal in mind even before they accomplish the first. Sagittarius is naturally questioning and interested in the big picture, and can be quite philosophical or opinionated.

Planet: Jupiter; Element: Fire; Quality: Mutable; Color: Purple; Day: Thursday; Stone: Turquoise; Part of Body Ruled: Liver and hips; Motto: I philosophize; Energy: Yang

Your Personality Profile:

You are a leader at heart–whether you choose to lead or not, others naturally follow, turning to you for insightful and unique advice as well. You are articulate and sociable, and while a breezy manner might suggest otherwise, you have a strong business sense, possess keen organizational skills, and you are rather ambitious. You also admire others with a strong work ethic and may easily go into business with a romantic partner. Intuitive and compassionate, you have a philosophical or religious side to you that is not always apparent.

Determined – Strong – Sensitive

Famous People Born on Your Birthday:

Fixed Star(s) Near Your Sun:

Sun conjunct Rasalhague and Sargas

Rasalhague has a Saturn-Venus influence, suggesting a healing, restorative, intense, and sometimes destructive personality. There is a great love of debate, of giving advice, and of helping others, but some might go too far and be harshly opinionated. There is a resourceful, experimental, and brave personality, with some private demons and compulsions to contend with.

Sargas has a Saturn-Venus influence, lending a nature that looks for hidden meanings and origins, that is passionate, intelligent, and at times quite dramatic. There is a love of critique, but might also frequently be critiqued. Some with this position are reformers and fighters for a cause.

Progressed Sun: Turning Points in the Life

We carry our Sun sign with us throughout our entire lives. If I’m a Sagittarius, I’ll always be a Sagittarius. However, in secondary progressions, the Sun “progresses” in a symbolic sense through our natal Sun sign, and then beyond it to subsequent signs. Secondary progressions are “a day for a year”, and because the Sun moves just under one degree per day, our Sun symbolically progresses just short of one degree every year of our lives. Because there are 30 degrees for every sign, if I were born in the latter days of a Sagittarius Sun, my Sun would progress to the sign of Capricorn in my early childhood, and to the sign of Aquarius in my early to mid-30’s. If I were born near the beginning of a Sagittarius Sun, however, my progressed Sun would enter Capricorn close to my 30th birthday, and to Aquarius in my late 50’s. The changeover of signs marks a critical turning point in a person’s life. At the very end of a sign (just before changing signs), individuals may make life-changing, impulsive decisions.

Your progressed Sun enters Capricorn at age 5. The ages of 4 to 6 mark a critical turning point in the development of your personality. You become more practical, mindful, and concerned about your personal security. You are a self-starter, and you become more shrewd and focused on your goals.

Your progressed Sun enters Aquarius at age 34. The ages of 33 to 35 mark a critical turning point in the development of your personality. After some sort of crisis of consciousness, and perhaps elimination of circumstances that have been limiting your growth, you become more humanitarian, somewhat detached, and independent. Some may become self-righteous and fixed during this phase, while others learn to detach themselves from situations and loosen up. You kick up your heels and enjoy life with a certain level of detachment and confidence that you hadn’t discovered before this time.

This is an excellent year in which to build and develop for the future. Advice - be patient, be receptive, enjoy the peace, collect.

 

 

Compatibility

You Are Drawn to People Born on…

Easy, subtle attraction and harmony: You don’t feel an irresistible pull towards each other, but over time, appreciate the peace you have between you. These people are good for you, although they might not challenge you to grow. February 12-19, April 10-20, August 10-20, October 13-22

A mysterious attraction that can be very romantic…or completely platonic! This is a spiritual connection that has a magical quality to it. February 4-February 8, March 28-April 1, August 30-September 3, October 23-27

Opposites attract. Push me, pull me. You could complement each other well if you allow yourselves to learn from each other, or you could actively war against each other. June 10-21

Attraction of the soul; challenging, intense, rich, and binding. January 25-29, November 4-November 8
