December Zodiac Sign
People born in December are either Sagittarius or Capricorn. Those whose birthdays fall between December 1 and 21 belong to the Sagittarius Zodiac. And those from December 22 till the end of the month are members of the Capricorn Zodiac.
As the dominant sign in the month of December, Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance. Sagittarians are wisdom-seeking, intuitive, and truthful people who tend to see the bigger picture in everything. The Sagittarius symbol is represented by the archer pointing a bow and arrow toward the sky. This mythological creature is half-horse and half-human with a deep-rooted desire for change.
The second sign in December is the Capricorn. Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn. The Capricorn symbol is represented by a Sea-Goat — a half-goat, half-fish symbol which reflects the complicated dual personality of Capricorns. One end of the sign grants Capricorns their ambitious, determined, and hardworking nature, whereas the other end makes them full-fledged pessimists who do not expect much from life.
Together, these two Zodiacs make up the personalities of December-borns. We have picked a few of their shared personalities and how their month of birth influences these.

December Birthday Traits
There is more about the people born in December than meets the eye. As much as they are one of the best people to have in one’s corner, there are quite a number of traits that can have someone reconsidering. But the good thing is that everyone has their shortcomings and the more we communicate it, the more room we create for change and adjustments.
Positive December People Traits
Their love for truth makes them one of the most honest and transparent people. December-borns will always stick with what is true no matter how hard or painful it may sound. They are known to offer their honest opinions when consulted, without looking at feelings or reactions.
They make very loyal friends and can be trusted at all times. It is difficult to let go of a friendship with December folks because there is barely anyone as authentic and trustworthy as they are.
December people like to stay organized and often associate the state of their minds and even their environments with their ability to think. They like to keep things in place (people are not exempted) at all times.
December-borns set their standards from the onset and start working around those. And if you think these standards are anything short of high, then you must be kidding. They are super ambitious and hardworking; keeping their heads high and their eyes focused. They are very independent people who like to be in charge of their own lives.
Negative December People Traits
When their honesty reaches an extreme, they become tactless. December-borns don’t look at anyone in the face when sharing their honest takes. They are fond of hurting feelings and going blithely on their way, (although there may be a fix most of the time because they are still good people).
People born in December usually have problems keeping up with their friends; they are so excited about the future that they fail to enjoy the present. Once they meet someone new, they will struggle to catch up with the old ones in their lives.
