Sagittarius, December 13. Those born on this day not only feel a big purpose, but they also don't lose sight of the details.
Immersed in work, they act slowly, carefully and scrupulously, but at the same time not forgetting about the main result. Thus, they are able to combine expansiveness and a sense of proportion - and this is very beneficial for the final result.
However, there is a danger of getting bogged down in trifles, becoming cowards and insecure people. Thus, expansive ambitions can turn into a heavy burden for them if they even for a minute doubt the possibility of an early achievement of a global goal.

Holidays
December 13
Andrew Winter - divination time
St. Andrew the First Called Day is one of the most mysterious and interesting holidays. Andrei traditionally went to listen to the water under the ice of the rivers and in the wells. If the water is not noisy - for a good winter, when it rages and worries - wait for the frosts and blizzards.
In ancient times, they said: “If it’s cold and clear to Andrew, it’s a good sign, and when it’s warm, it’s bad. There was also a saying: “If it will snow day in Andrew and settle down, then another 110 days will lie”.
The girls were guessing on little pies (balabushki), the cooking water of which was worn from a well in their mouths. Gathering together, the girls laid out their pies in a row. Whose pie dog will eat the first - she marry first, but woe, if the dog just bites and does not eat.
Coming together in the evening, the youth played in "Kalita". For this, the girls baked a large round cake with a hole in the middle and spread it with honey. It was also considered that kalita is a symbol of a happy marriage. Each girl, kneading dough, thought of her beloved boyfriend. Dried berries and honey were added to the kalita, and a hole was made inside so that the cake can be hung on a ribbon. When Kalita was ready, she was tied to a stick with a tape, or to a trunk in the middle of the house, and the guys jumped, trying to bite off a piece of cake.
After the “Kalita” game, cheerful songs and entertainment, the last fortune-telling of this evening took place. They took a small pot, filled it with honey and put a ring on the bottom. The guy had to get a ring with his lips, and so as not to wet his own nose. If he succeeds, the boy will soon marry and be happy in marriage.
Hanukkah
On this day, the Jews light the lamps of the cheerful 8-day holiday of Hanukkah, which is translated from Hebrew as "consecration."
Hanukkah begins on the 25th of the Jewish month of Kislev and lasts eight days to 2 or 3 Tevet.
The holiday was established in the II century BC in memory of the cleansing of the Temple, the consecration of the altar, and the resumption of the temple service by the Maccabees, following the defeat and expulsion from the Temple Mount of the Greek-Syrian forces and their Jewish allies in 165 BC.
