Sagittarius, December 9. Those born on this day are active individuals with a rich imagination who love to be in the spotlight.

For them, life is a romantic adventure full of bold discoveries and surprises. Like no other, those born on December 9 should feel like the star of a colorful show, the main character in the drama of life.

In childhood, they are usually quiet, sensitive, endowed with the ability to fantasize. Exciting, heroic roles in which they imagine themselves as children, later, already in adulthood, are embodied in reality.

Those of them who live relatively calm lives continue to fantasize mentally, imagining themselves as the main characters of exciting adventures. Sooner or later, they come to understand the need for self-expression, if only they want to be happy. Thus, overcoming shyness and false modesty are key topics in their lives.
