December 7 birthday personality

The Moon takes the middle decan of Sagittarius in the Chaldean order and Aries lends Mars’s dash by triplicity, so tradition reads a restless, warm-hearted optimism here, quick to set out and quick to forgive. The reflection is whether leaving has become easier than staying.

The 7th gives the 7 in its plain form, numerology’s number of the seeker and the thinker. It is read as a birthday that needs some quiet to be at its best. Fire lends the 7’s search a burning question, so the reading finds a seeker who learns by going out and testing an idea rather than waiting for it.

A question to carry from December 7: what would your hope notice if you gave it an hour of real quiet?

The Sun in Sagittarius and the number 7 are only part of the story: your Moon, your rising sign and the rest of your chart have as much to say, and the tradition offers all this as a mirror, never a verdict.

Birthday number 7

Born on the 7th, your birthday number is simply 7, the day itself: a 7 vibration supports introspection, wisdom, spirituality, analysis, and solitude, with depth, study, and inner truth as its gift and isolation, skepticism, or emotional distance as its strain.

For a birthday on December 7 the house method reduces the birth month and the day on their own and adds the Universal Year of 2027, 11 (2 + 0 + 2 + 7 = 11, a master number kept whole), as it stands: December, the 12th month, reduces to 3, the 7th gives 7, and 3 + 7 + 11 = 21, which reduces to 3, so 2027 is your Personal Year 3.

Numerology reads a Personal Year 3 as a year to express yourself, enjoy company and let creativity lead. In a Universal Year 11 the reading adds a note of inspiration, and a reminder to give the ideas a finished form.

Personal Months of 2027, a Personal Year 3: Jan 4 Feb 5 Mar 6 Apr 7 May 8 Jun 9 Jul 1 Aug 11 Sep 3 Oct 4 Nov 5 Dec 6

In 2027 December 7 falls on a Tuesday, the day the old reckoning gives to Mars, and is a Personal Day 4 (6 + 7 = 13, then 4) in a Personal Month 6 (3 + 12 = 15, then 6), while August is a master month 11; the Personal Year itself turns on 1 January, not on the birthday.

December birthstone and birth flower

Birthstones: Turquoise, tanzanite and zircon
Birth flowers: Narcissus, and holly as the second flower

December’s turquoise, tanzanite and zircon come from the modern list (the Jewelers of America list of 1912, as since revised), and its narcissus and holly from The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
