August 26

**August 26** is the 238th day of the year (239th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar.

## **Solidarity friend's day**

Those born on August 26 rarely occupy a commanding position in a company or in the social or family circle, preferring to work side by side with others to achieve a common goal. They are often emotionally attached to a stronger or more powerful individual: a sibling, partner, or friend. That is why some of those born on this day have to fight to assert themselves as individuals.

Deep down they know they deserve it, even if the world doesn't immediately recognize their values. If those born on this day are satisfied with the role of supporting another, or are patient enough to wait for their opportunity, they will be seen as happy and constant in their work; otherwise they will become frustrated and unproductive people.

When these individuals work alone, they can appear lonely and withdrawn. Some indulge in self-pity and become hypersensitive to criticism and rejection, but if these loners are persevering they will keep going whether life rewards them or not, working with perseverance and without complaining.

Those born on **August 26** are usually excellent parents, as they understand the importance of order and organization in the lives of children. The less ambitious will not demand too much of their children; But if they are frustrated by their lack of professional ability or recognition, they should be careful not to project their dreams onto children and expect too much of them.

Many born on this day like to work behind the scenes, and in rare cases they are the secret force behind another individual or group. These good team players will be content to remain in the shadows and anonymity; instead of rebelling over lack of attention, they will enjoy the freedom to do their jobs without interference.

These hard-working individuals are worth their weight in gold to your family or business.

However, there will most likely come a time (often in their mid-fifties or early-sixties) when those born on this day will stop to ask themselves, “where are my profits?” or "what have I done with my life?"

They may then abandon their altruistic activities and embark on a new path. Although this may come as a surprise to those who depend on them or take their support for granted, those born on August 26 know that they deserve their newfound freedom and will not feel guilty about changing.

**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. Saturn confers a strong sense of responsibility and constraint, as well as an inclination to caution and fatalism, which sharpens the tendency of those born on August 26 to take on a supportive role. Those ruled by the number 8 tend to build their lives slowly and carefully, which is manifested in the profession and attitude towards money of those born on August 26. Although these individuals have big hearts, Saturnian and Mercury influences (Mercury is the ruler of Virgo) explain their cold or distant appearance.

**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 **August 26** symptoms of illness should not be overlooked. In fact, they are often cautious people and make sound decisions, but they may resist seeing a doctor or therapist for fear of health problems or doctors. Although they care about the health of family and friends, they often neglect their own and need a friend or family member to point out the importance of their symptoms. These tidy individuals have no problem sticking to a healthy program of exercise, diet, and sleep habits. However, they should make an effort to expand their culinary horizons, both when they cook and when they eat, and experiment with new foods instead of following an unimaginative diet.

**ADVICE**

Sometimes it's not good to be too tolerant. Learn to defend yourself and demand what you deserve in compensation for your work. Do not live in the shadow of others; from time to time take over.
