Born on December 6

Your sign: Sagittarius ♐

A December 6 birthday lands in Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21), the mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter. On the 6th of December the Sun travels near the 15th degree of Sagittarius, midway through the sign's month-long season - day 15 of the Sagittarius year. Jupiter rules your sign and it shows in the scale of your appetite - for places, ideas, questions, and second helpings of all three. Optimism in your hands is not naivety; it is a strategy with a remarkably good track record.

Your decan

Each sign spans three decans, and the 6th of December falls in the 2nd decan of Sagittarius, the stretch tradition co-rules through Aries and its planet Mars. An Aries undercurrent gives this stretch its nerve - the part of you that moves first and drafts the apology later.

Your birthday number: 6

Every date on the calendar hums at its own pitch, and numerology is simply the practice of writing down which note your birthday holds. Born on the 6th, you carry the birthday number 6. Beauty matters to you in a practical way, since a well-set table and a tended garden are both forms of love. Responsibility settles on your shoulders like a well-worn coat, and people lean on you because you have never once shrugged it off. Warmth radiates from a birthday on the 6th the way heat radiates from a well-loved kitchen. Care and beauty share top billing in your character, and the people around you rarely go unfed or unnoticed.

The season you arrived in

December babies arrive with the year's shortest days and its most lights per window, which is why you know darkness is mostly a decorating opportunity. Having a birthday wedged among the holidays taught you to share a stage gracefully, and to notice the one gift wrapped in birthday paper instead of snowmen. Give that season a yang fire temperament to raise and the result is the December 6 character: calendar and constellation finishing each other's sentences.

In love

Run the classic match arithmetic for a December 6 birthday - element against element, aspect against aspect - and Sagittarius's easiest romances point toward Aries, Leo and Gemini. Friendship runs on slightly different math, and there it is Aries who comes out ahead. Ease is not the whole story, though: the harder pairings grow people faster, and every match writes its own exceptions.

The one thing to remember

A birthday sets the key a life is written in, not the melody: plenty of people transpose theirs entirely, and the ones who do tend to credit the original key for teaching them music.
