September 26

**September 26** is the 269th day of the year (270th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar.

## **The patient practice day**

Those born on **September 26** are perfectionists who know that there is only one way to master an activity: to do it over and over again. Like the man who was asked how to get to Carnegie Hall and answered "with practice!" these individuals believe that practice makes perfect. These people gifted with great technical ability and determined to perfect their art or craft know how to achieve their goal and have the ability to teach it to others, if not through words, then by example. They can be a great source of inspiration for those who admire them.

But this attitude is not restricted to the workplace. In their private lives, those born on September 26 are often obsessive, compulsive, or both at the same time. Therefore, they have a rather neurotic attitude at home, as if they fear that the sky will fall on them if they do not do the daily tasks perfectly. As a result, they can make life miserable for family and friends. Needless to say, they are also overly demanding bosses or supervisors.

These people give supremacy to logic and apply it in everyday life. They also believe that there are few technical problems that cannot be solved through the use of rational principles. Paradoxically, their behavior can be capricious and irrational. Therefore, they are complex people, difficult to understand.

People born on this day often have a second or third occupation or hobby that they keep secret. This activity can be very far from the image that people have of them. In fact, these individuals take pleasure in keeping a part of their lives in absolute secrecy.

Those born on this day are passionate, enterprising and determined. They may be idealistic, but they rarely forget practical considerations, and while they enjoy theorizing, they are most concerned with the success or failure of ideas.

Most have an excellent sense of humor that can go unnoticed, however, as they express it in the form of subtle irony. What rarely goes unnoticed are their scathing criticisms, which can make enemies for them. However, the most evolved know how to make their influence felt, which extends beyond their immediate circle like small waves on the surface of the water and can continue after their death. Even those who do not like the personality of those born on September 26 often admit that their work is brilliant and conscientious.

**NUMBERS AND PLANETS**

Those born on the twenty-sixth day of the month are ruled by the number 8 (2+6 = 8) and by the planet Saturn. Since Saturn confers a sense of responsibility and limitations, caution and fatalism, it accentuates the conservative nature of those born on September 26. Those ruled by the number 8 usually build their profession slowly and carefully, which in those born on September 26 is also manifested in financial and personal matters. Although they can have a big heart (thanks to Venus, ruler of Libra), the Saturnian influences of those ruled by the number 8 give them a cold or distant air.

**TAROT**

The eighth card of the Major Arcana is Strength, which shows an elegant queen taming a ferocious lion. The queen represents dominion over rebellious energies and symbolizes physical and moral strength. The positive meanings of this card include charisma and determination to succeed; the negatives, complacency and misuse of power.

**HEALTH**

Those born on **September 26** they must prevent all kinds of internal disorders. Although they can afford to smoke and consume caffeine in moderation, these individuals often do so compulsively. Those born on this day seem to resist stress well, when in fact they internalize it, causing physical and psychological damage. In a way, they engage in the neurotic behavior described above to keep fear and anxiety at bay. Regular doses of affection may be the best medicine, but psychotherapy will also help. These individuals should make an effort to eat a balanced diet, and in some cases, particularly for those over forty, the ideal is vegetarian. They should restrict the consumption of refined sugar to a minimum.

**ADVICE**

Moderate your vehemence, as it can drive people away. Put yourself in the role of the student as well as that of the teacher. Sometimes it is necessary to make mistakes; perfection is not necessarily the highest goal. Be more tolerant. Occasionally allow yourself to vegetate.

**MEDITATION**

Revered teachers can bite too
