Personality
December 1 birthday personality
People born on December 1 are Sagittarius, and the sign is read as expansion, honesty and appetite for the unfamiliar. Genuinely open-minded and hard to discourage. Says the thing nobody else will.
The 1st is the only birthday that is a single, unmixed 1, and numerologists read it as initiative with nothing diluting it. The gift is starting: seeing that something needs doing and doing it before a committee forms. Birthday number 1 in full →
At work
Good with big-picture strategy, teaching and anything international. Bored by detail.
Stone and flower
The December birthstones are turquoise, zircon and tanzanite (blue to blue-violet), and the month's flowers are the narcissus and holly.
