If you have a December horoscope, then that means that you’re either a Sagittarius or a Capricorn. The range for Sagittarius is December 1st to December 22nd, and the rest of the month falls in Capricorn territory. Despite being in the same month, Sagittarius and Capricorn are actually quite different characters. It’s interesting to think that if an individual born on the 22nd had been born just a day later, they might have had quite a different temperament—and a different December horoscope.
Sagittarius is “the archer,” specifically a centaur—half horse and half man—according to Greek mythology. Hercules was attacked by centaurs, and in the distance he mistook Chiron, a good centaur and his tutor for one of the attacking centaurs and shoots him with an arrow, killing him. Because of Hercules’ sorrow, Zeus places Chiron in the sky as the constellation Sagittarius. Capricorn is “the goat.” Greek mythology models Capricorn after Pan, the goatish god of shepherds and flocks,
The nature of Sagittarius is said to be optimistic and straightforward. Sagittariuses are also very ambitious and curious people, always trying to accomplish their goals and acquire knowledge even when they face failure. They have a strong sense of morality, which often manifests as religious devotion. In their relationships with other people, they are reliable and trustworthy. However, Sagittarius can also be impatient and quick to anger. They may also be restless and inconsiderate, and sometimes too optimistic to the point of blindness. They are prone to being domineering and being superstitious.
Capricorns are serious, independent and determined. They are very resourceful, respectful to authority and they think about things practically. They persevere under difficult conditions and they are successful because they plan decisions carefully and they can put aside other concerns to single minded pursue a goal. On the negative side, a Capricorn can be pessimistic, moody and “capricious.” They might be uncomfortable in relationships because they are self contained and keep to themselves. They can also be rigid in conventional beliefs and come off as emotionless.
The December horoscope for Sagittarius advises individuals to be cautious of making rash decisions, while the Capricorn December horoscope suggests being social and working harmoniously with others. Common sense suggests that individuals of both zodiac signs should be careful not to make decisions without thinking them through and try to maintain harmonious relationships with other people as best as they can.
