Where December 7 falls in Sagittarius season
You are here
Is December 7 on a cusp? No. We checked the Sun's position for every December 7 from 1950 to 2025, and it was in Sagittarius all day in every one of them. The date falls just past the midpoint of the season, well inside the Mars-ruled second decan.
December 7 personality traits
A December 7 Sagittarius knows where she's aiming and doesn't mind a long road to get there. You were born on the sixteenth day of Sagittarius season, just past its midpoint, in the Mars-ruled second decan. That gives your Jupiter optimism a competitive, driven edge. You're the friend who trains for the half-marathon, finishes the degree at night and still finds time for a spontaneous trip. Once you commit to a goal, you're very hard to stop.
The 7th links you to The Chariot, the card of willpower and controlled momentum. Seven is also the number of reflection, so behind all the action you're thoughtful, philosophical and sometimes surprisingly private. You need time alone to recharge and make sense of things. The trap is treating everything like a race. You can push yourself and others so hard toward the finish line that you forget to enjoy the ride, which, for a Sagittarius, is half the point.

December 7 zodiac in love
You love with direction. A December 7 Sagittarius knows what she wants in a partner and doesn't waste years on someone who isn't it. With Mars in your decan, attraction is strong and you're not shy about acting on it.

You're loyal, protective and fun, and you want a partner who's moving in his own direction too, not waiting for you to lead.
Your Nine of Wands decan card makes you resilient in love, willing to fight for a relationship you believe in. But your number 7 also means you need solitude, and a partner can mistake your quiet days for coldness, so tell him plainly. What you need is someone secure, curious and ambitious, who enjoys your drive without competing with it and gives you room to think. With him, you're devoted, adventurous and deeply loyal.

December 7 zodiac sign: male and female traits
A December 7 man is driven, confident and quietly thoughtful. When he's interested, he pursues you with focus: clear invitations, consistent texts and plans that fit you into his bigger picture. Mars in his decan makes him competitive and passionate, and the Chariot energy of his number 7 makes him goal-oriented. His blind spot is balance. He can get so absorbed in work or training that you start to feel like an item on his schedule.
A December 7 woman is ambitious, adventurous and fiercely independent. Born just past the midpoint of Sagittarius season, in the Mars decan, she has courage and stamina, and her number 7 gives her a private, reflective side. She loves loyally once she chooses. She won't tolerate a partner who holds her back, plays games or feels threatened by her goals.
Your December 7 birthday tarot cards
Every birthday maps onto the tarot through classical astrology. Each sign has a Major Arcana card, and each ten-day decan has a Minor Arcana card from the Golden Dawn system. Here are the four cards tied to December 7:
The Nine of Wands is the card that speaks most directly to you: a weary but unbeaten figure guarding a row of staffs, ready to go again. In Sagittarius's Mars decan it describes the Archer who keeps going when others stop. For December 7 it rides alongside The Chariot, your number card, a figure steering two sphinxes by willpower alone. Together they describe stamina with a steering wheel. The cards' advice is to choose your direction carefully, because once you start moving, you rarely turn back.
December 7 numerology
Seven is the number of reflection, insight and inner strength. Its card, The Chariot, is about directing your will toward a clear goal. In a Mars-decan Sagittarius it creates an unusually focused Archer: adventurous, but always with a destination in mind. Sevens think deeply and need solitude. Your lesson is letting people into your inner world, so your quiet focus doesn't read as distance.

December 7 Moon sign and rising sign
Your Sun sign (Sagittarius) comes from your birthday. Your Moon sign and rising sign don't. The Moon changes sign every two to three days, and your rising sign changes roughly every two hours, so working them out needs your birth year, exact birth time and birthplace. That's why two people born on December 7 can feel so different. Your Moon sign shapes your emotional needs and what comforts you; your rising sign shapes your first impression and personal style. A Sagittarius with a Pisces or Libra Moon, for example, is far more relaxed about winning than the typical December 7 Sagittarius.
December 7 zodiac animal: Western symbol and Chinese zodiac
In Western astrology, Sagittarius's symbol is the Archer, a centaur aiming its arrow at the horizon: half earthly, half star-bound, always looking further. Your Chinese zodiac animal depends on your birth year, not your birthday. This date always falls after Lunar New Year, so your animal is simply your birth year's animal. Find your birth year below.
Career and money
You do best where there's a goal to chase. Sports, law, entrepreneurship, research, aviation, travel, sales and leadership roles all suit a December 7 Sagittarius, because Mars gives you competitive drive and the Chariot gives you focus. You're the colleague who sets the target and leads the team across the line. Watch for burnout, and for treating every disagreement at work as a contest you have to win.
