This person is not what he seems. Mysteriously beautiful, these stars who watch the turning of the year may choose to shine, or cloak their dark and fiery nature in subterfuge. December 27 goes in disguise and sometimes even those closest don't really know what they are thinking. Both sexes are in love with secrecy, and sometimes, themselves confused about their own identity, should be extremely careful to avoid the wrong side of the law. There's a fascination here with get-rich-quick methods and that may include criminal behaviour.
More generally, December 27 is ambiguous and will develop this side of his or her nature to tantalise others. They may delight in copying the opposite sex, more usual here with girls than boys. But if Lady 27 does wear men's clothes, she makes a hauntingly handsome youth, her femininity easily discovered because this vain creature adores cosmetics and wouldn't be without her perfume. The men simply cultivate a disturbing slenderness and have luxuriant hair, often worn in pony-tails, that could grace a shampoo ad.
Curious reversals are part of their nature. At home the women are often tremendously talented painters or textile makers, embroidering fantastic patterns in gold and silver thread, worthy of a king's ransom. At work, she stalks across the floor, hard-faced, clock watching, sometimes driving her employees too hard. Men born today sit rigidly at their desks counting the pennies and watching others leave on time with indignation. At home this man will nurse a sick puppy all night with all the concern its own mother might have shown.
Some play at philandering, yet deep down they're stable family minded people and can show disconcerting sudden flashes of respectability in the middle of quite enjoyably shocking occasions. Others will make a pile of cash with the breathless determination of a miser, then throw it all away on a good cause, usually requesting anonymity.
Learning about sexuality is an invaluable preparation for living.
(William H Masters)
BODY
The Mount of Venus, the pad at the base of the thumb, is a traditionally erotic area and you can be certain it's particularly explosive for December 27. Massage there with essential oils can induce strong erotic sensations as can thumb massage. A few drops of oil of sandalwood (traditionally aphrodisiac) in an almond carrier oil can be rubbed gently over the Mount of Venus, using circular movements, then taken across the hand to the thumbs with more circular movements. This stimulates the prostate and testes for men, and the ovaries and uterus for women. And in some cases helps impotence and infertility.
MIND
December 27's love of ambiguity underlines both sexes' understanding of the equally ambiguous nature of the world. They are always aware of fleeting time, that health and happiness may suddenly fly away. Guard against depression.
