Occasionally, an astrology-enthusiast will send me something pertaining to my zodiac sign, Sagittarius, and the supposed "characteristics" that go with it.
While I think that these generalizations vary with a person's upbringing, still, some of the "traits" are uncannily true about me!
      A page from what has to be a giant astrology book was sent to me recently, describing in detail, all the characteristics of persons born on December 3rd (my birthday). Since you guys did ask for more personal info, I have copied the parts that apply to me... which was just about the whole page!

December 3rd is listed as "the day of ingenuity".
"Those born on December 3 let very little stand in the way of realizing their visions. Ingenious in carrying out their plans, they can be as secretive and manipulative as they need to be to get where they want to go. Yet, this is not per se a day of great personal ambition. Those born on this day, rather, are more interested in their creations..." "... jobs, or hobbies themselves than they are in gaining fame or power for it's own sake".
"Both craftsmanship and creative gifts are the legacy of December 3 people. Often technically oriented, they may in fact qualify as perfectionists. Yet frequently enough they are able to strike a common chord in their fellow human beings who, respecting their dedication and single-mindedness, will often take the trouble to show interest in what they are doing. Such interest is not essential to those born on this day, who are quite able to continue working without the need for constant approval from others, and actually may even prefer being left alone".
"In fact, those born on this day require a high degree of privacy..." "...they may even come to be known as recluses. It is almost as if they can only achieve their maximum concentration by being alone to plug in to some higher source. Indeed, their accomplishments sometimes seem inexplicable without benefit of a higher power or inspirational force which acted as a guide. This is not to say, however, that December 3 people are particularly devotional or religious people; on the contrary, they tend to be highly rationalistic, perhaps a bit cynical".
"...Personalities (their own or others) may not be of the greatest interest to them. Basically, in their minds, they have been given certain mental tools, talents and physical abilities to work with, and that's it".

~Desires~

Flower: French Willow- "You... have enough courage to seek out  what is truly important".
Astral Color: "...Red, the color of passion, power, excitement, and strength. Violet in your environment keeps you empathetic towards others. In your wardrobe, Purple reflects your giving personality and brings you luck"
Fragrance: "You need to be bathed in exotic scents that will give your imagination room to roam".
Tree: "Elm- You have willpower, strength, and the ability to stand alone".
Symbol: "Wreath- You have been crowned with a special personality. You are strong but extremely compassionate".

~Numbers & Planets~

"Those born on the 3rd of the month are ruled by the number 3 and the planet Jupiter. Those ruled by 3 generally try to rise to the highest positions in their particular sphere..." "...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 3 love their independence, and thus do well in business for themselves..."

~Tarot~

"The 3rd card of the Major Arcana is The Empress, symbolizing creative intelligence". "...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..." "...but also negative traits of vanity, affectation, as well as intolerance for imperfection".

~Misc.~

"...Usually the emotions and sexual preferences of December 3 people are intensely private matters, their modesty and need for privacy must be respected".

Strengths: "Concentrated, innovative, craftsmanlike"
Weaknesses: "Secretive, strange, unapproachable"

...Need I say more?
