Thee Day Of Laconic Authority

Those born on December 30 can get their point across with very few words. Usually adherents to established traditions and methods, they put their faith in the tried and true. Extremely valuable people in running a business or organization, they dislike inefficiency and waste of all types. Also, December 30 people quickly recognize faults in systems and work methods, and are adept at eliminating, or at least minimizing them.

This does not mean that December 30 people are necessarily up-tight individuals or that they have problems relaxing. On the contrary, few enjoy a good meal or a fun evening with friends more than those born on this day. It is precisely because they have a great deal together at work that they can come home and freely express themselves. December 30 people are gracious and generous, but don't cross them or oppose their right to rule! Indeed, most born on this day just have to be the boss—there is no other way. They must, however, beware of adopting a know-it-all attitude and dogmatically adhering to fixed principles, which can arouse great antagonism in others.

Not surprisingly, many December 30 people themselves have serious problems with authority, not because they are rebellious per se but rather find those in charge to be incompetent or ineffective. They often begin to think about how they might be able to better run the show themselves. But a good point about December 30 people is that they generally think along constructive, not ego-satisfying, lines. For them the important thing is not power or domination, but that the best job possible be done.

December 30 people hate mess and chaos. Often this leads them to adopt a more spartan existence, or at the very least to stow their possessions in another room and close the door. As they are not overly fastidious, they may choose to limit their accumulation of goods and thereby create less mess. Others may view this as evidence of their being tight with money. Most often this is not the case, for December 30 people know how to spend when they want or need to, even if it means going into the red. Their innate frugality, however, usually keeps them from wasting money and leads them to get the best deal possible.

Frustrations and worry can keep December 30 people awake at night. Upsetting situations do not sit very well with their usually taciturn personalities; what suits them best is to work their way out of a given problem. Unfortunately when met with difficult problems caused by another's ignorance or blundering (as they see it), those born on this day can become extremely agitated. In order not to waste their own precious energy, December 30 people must learn acceptance of that which they cannot change, and the discipline to turn their thoughts to more constructive matters.

Strengths:

Advice

Those born on December 30 should keep active and not let themselves slip into patterns of self pity or depression. Although they may at times find it difficult to motivate themselves, they should make an effort to program regular physical exercise into their lives. Furthermore, it is a good idea for them to schedule regular checkups with their family physician, rather than ignoring symptoms or hoping that they will go away. December 30 people must beware of the prickly side of their nature which can arouse opposition and an accompanying negativity directed toward them. Such bad feelings, through disturbing their psyche or making them feel disliked, can have equally negative effects on their health notably in the areas of insomnia, skeletal or muscular rigidity, headaches and other manifestations of stress.

Avoid being blunt and take time to explain yourself

Be careful of arousing resentment through an overly rigid system of rules or beliefs

Try to put the past behind you and learn to forgive

By being more accepting you will eliminate many problems

It’s snowing here today, the first proper snowfall in years. Yesterday it was a mild 8 degrees and sunny. So I thought I would share this weather symbols pattern! Open up the chart image in a new tab for maximum size.

Original comic

aurelle

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone. Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead, Put crépe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song, I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong The stars are not wanted now, put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Funeral Blues, W.H. Auden (via aurelle)

Capricorn Sun and Leo Moon, submitted by a follower

I am the warmth on the cold top of the mountain. Not cold as all Capricorns, not glamorous as a typical Leo. I have double passion for doing things and a strong sense of justice. My challenge is the balance between the past and present, the melancholy and the joy, the child and the ancient inside of the same body. [info on sun and moon signs]
