NUMBERS AND PLANETS Those born on the 3rd of the month are ruled by the number 3 and by the planet Jupiter. Those ruled by the number 3 generally try to rise to the highest positions in their particular sphere, but as mentioned, those born on December 3 display a greater interest in their work itself then the advancements of their career. For December 3 people, Jupiter rules Sagittarius as well, thus granting still greater emphasis to the expansive and optimistic nature of their personality and work habits.  Those ruled by the number thre3 love their independence, and thus do well in business for themselves or working as freelancers.     TAROT The 3rd card of the Major Arcana is The Empress, symbolizing creative intelligence.  She is the perfect woman, the ultra-feminine, Mother Earth nurturer, who embodies our dreams, hopes and aspirations.  Her steadfast qualities are often exemplified in  December   3 people, who can be faithful friends and loyal family members.  This card represents positive traits of charm, grace and unconditional love, but also negative traits of vanity and affectation, as well as intolerance for imperfection.   HEALTH December 3 people can often neglect their health and that of their families when they get carried away rocks and activities.  Consequently, they should simply schedule regular checkups with a trusted position.  Very much concept-oriented, they seldom fail to see the efficacy of thinking and reading about physical and mental maladies, but they must do more than merely be informed.  Their technical orientation is to be encouraged in matters of diet-showing an interest in the content of food (calories, vitamins and relatives of protein-carbohydrate-fat composition, for example) will aid them in the choice of a healthy menu.  As far as exercise is concerned, only moderate physical activity, such as walking, bicycle riding or swimming is recommended.  Usually the emotions and sexual preferences of December 3 people are intensely private matters; their modesty in need for privacy must be respected.  ADVICE Show more interest in yourself and your personal development.  Sometimes delegate responsibilities to others, without worrying.  Beware of becoming too reclusive and-maintain contact with the world and help those around you. MEDITATION If one burrows deep enough, one may come out on the other side.
