December Birthdays
The two signs associated with the month of November are Sagittarius and Capricorn. For those born from December 1st to December
21st, they are members of the Sagittarius sign. The Sagittarius can be sure to have a desire to put their imprint in the world, which is paired nicely with their appreciation of life's
finer things. People born from December 22nd to December 31st are members of the
Capricorn zodiac sign. One of the life's natural intellectuals, the Aquarius can be identified by their curiosity and originality.
