Expectation on December 8th begins to rise, and the nature of those born at this time might be a bit intense or tricky in close relationships. They are energetic individuals ready to initiate and take practical steps towards a goal, but very often they aren’t tender enough with others to see that their spontaneity might cost them intimacy and joyful energies. Although it would be wise for them to take a step back before they start running anywhere, their spontaneous and grounded nature is their best quality and it shouldn’t be held down, but freely expressed. To find a fine line of balance is the real challenge here, acting on impulse, but holding on to awareness of the surroundings as well.
December 8th Horoscope
It is important in such a strong planetary row to always remember who leads the way and who follows. People born on December 8th have enough respect and admiration for role models and those who teach them to follow, but need to find the point of clarity on their inner authority as well. In order to stay close and connected in their relationships no matter what happens around them, they are to build trust and a caring bond where there won’t be emotional blackmail to hold on to anyone involved. Loyalty should be turned to respect, and a pure desire to protect the most vulnerable, loving core of the bond should be found in each of their contacts.
In need of enough personal space and liberation of spirit, each Sagittarius born on this date needs to remember that their core of authentic personality is their priority and their only actual authority at any given moment. With enough respect for others, they must ask for respect in return, believing that everyone in their life has the power to embrace their responsibilities and resolve problems they’ve been dealt with by a much higher authority – the Universe itself.
Love and Emotions
Seeking things to smile at and relationships to smile in, those born on December 8th might be a bit rough around the edges until they fall in love. The importance of sexuality in their love life is grand, especially at a young age and before they learn that true listening comes from the heart and is the prerequisite for deep physical pleasure too. Sharing comes naturally to these individuals, but they could have a hard time finding a partner who understands their appetite for giving.
They want someone to train with, work with, and move with, and a soulmate who understands their need to risk while at the same time holding their feet on the ground. Rough and specific boundaries need to be established in each of their relationships, but their expression is to be tender and kind, although strict and direct. They enjoy company of those who are stable and move forwards with time, and won’t settle for a partner who doesn’t have much to crave for, move for, or desire in life.
Purpose
The Moon as the guiding light of those born on the 8th of December is an interesting turning point of vulnerability and emotion they are meant to find. It is the call of their Soul, the touch of true intimacy, and stands for their need to connect on pure and joyous planes instead of holding on to shared pain. They are to build a family life, discover where their peace of mind and heart hides, and slowly transcend from love for one in a close physical bond, to love Divine.
