Personality

Your birthday shows you have natural leadership skills, a confident front, and a generous spirit. Because you are warm, kind, and friendly, you will probably find that your friends are important to you. As you care about people and have a strong sense of right and wrong, you may stand up for the underdog or fight hard when you believe in something.

One of the few things that could stop you from being successful is not being able to control yourself when you need to.

With Virgo as the ruler of your decanate, you think in a very practical way and are drawn to smart people. You like to think about all the possible outcomes of a situation before making up your mind about it. Be careful not to keep going over the same problems and getting worried or too harsh.

You are a good organizer and have a strong need for order and cleanliness, you may be happier when everything in your life works well.

You attract people to you because you are interested in them and can be kind and understanding. You are likely to care a lot about home and family. You are both proud and sensitive. You usually have no trouble making friends with people of any age or background because you are friendly and open.

Since you like luxury and beautiful places, it’s a good thing that you’re good at business and can make money to support your lifestyle.

Your Hidden Identity

You don’t usually take the most prominent role in business, family, or social situations. Instead, you like to work with others toward a common goal. More specifically, many of you are emotionally tied to someone who is stronger or more outgoing, like a sibling, a partner, or a friend who gets a lot of attention. Because of this, some of you must work hard to be seen. You know what you’re worth on the inside, but the world isn’t always quick to see it. If you’re happy with a supporting role or have the patience to wait until it’s your turn to lead, you’ll be happy and productive. If you don’t, you might get upset and stop working.

People may think that those of you who work alone are lonely and alone. Some of you have a lot of self-pity and become very sensitive to criticism and rejection, which is true. If, on the other hand, you have a strong will, you will stick with it for years and work steadily and without complaining, whether you get a big reward or not.

People don’t often see the sensitive and intuitive side of you because you are proud and confident on the outside. Sometimes you may be too serious, stubborn, or self-centered because you feel like your hard work isn’t being noticed. You may be more likely to get angry or upset during these times. Since you can also be kind, generous, and willing to do almost anything for the people you care about, you might need to learn how to keep your emotions in check.

When you show how kind and caring you really are, you can make many friends and get the respect you want. You have a great way of using humor to share your quick insights with others, and when you are alone, you can have sudden flashes of inspired wisdom.

Work and Career

Many of you like working behind the scenes, and in rare cases, you can be the driving force behind a famous person or group. Not only are you a good team player, but you also enjoy being unseen and unknown. Instead of worrying about not getting enough attention, you may enjoy the freedom of doing your work without much ego getting in the way. As a hardworking person, you are often worth more than gold to a family or business.

Your organizational skills and business sense are likely to help you in any career, but you may be especially interested in business or administration. Also, if you are good at talking to people and getting along with them, you might do well in teaching, writing, or the law.

You may be interested in science, engineering, research, or business because you are good at analyzing things and like to pay attention to details. You could also go into sales or acting if you are good with words.

Because you are naturally kind and caring can use your skills in counseling or fundraising for charity. In the healing profession, using your intuition and your rational mind can be helpful.

Numerology and Planetary Influence

You are ruled by the number 8 (2+6=8) and by the planet Saturn.

The strength or power shown by your birthday number 26 shows that you are careful, have strong values, and make good decisions. Love of home and parental instincts could also mean that you must build a strong foundation or find real stability.

You are often a pillar of strength for your friends, family, and relatives, and you are willing to help them when they need it. You may still need to watch out for a desire to be rich and a need to control other people or situations.

The sub influence of the number 8 month shows that you are ambitious and want to achieve great things.

Even though you are willing to work hard and take on responsibilities, try not to take on more than your fair share of the work. You are good at business and have practical skills, so you can give other people money advice. You make long-term plans and investments because you want to feel safe and stable.

Because Saturn gives you a strong sense of responsibility and a tendency toward caution, limits, and fatalism, you are more likely to stay in a supportive role.

Even though you may have a warm heart, influences from Saturn and Mercury (which rules Virgo) may make you seem cold or distant.

Love and Relationships

People born on this day may seem cool and distant on the outside, but they are kind and sensitive on the inside. You won’t know how you really feel about someone until you’ve spent a lot of time with them. Even if you’re in a close relationship, you can be hard to understand, and your partner may always find you a bit of a mystery.

Still, when you get past your doubts and worries, you can be very caring.

When you feel safe and accepted in a close relationship, you are more likely to be a loyal, devoted, reliable, if sometimes critical, partner.

Between the Sheets

You are a hard worker and ambitious person, so you have a busy life that doesn’t leave you much time for dreamy romantic moments. You want nothing less than a secure relationship, so you quickly get rid of casual suitors who make empty promises. But when you’re alone, you can let go of your shyness and show how passionate you really are. A patient partner who helps you reveal your hidden desires will be well rewarded.

During making love, you take the time to get more and more excited.

Since you don’t like being spontaneous, you don’t leave much to chance in your love life. You like to plan intimate moments ahead of time so that you can enjoy every moment and make each one as perfect as possible.

Health

You shouldn’t ignore the physical signs of illness. Even though you may be thoughtful people who usually take the time to make smart decisions, you may not go to a doctor or therapist because you are afraid of health problems or doctors. Also, you care a lot about the health of your family and friends, but you can easily forget about your own.

A helpful family member or coworker who is aware of your symptoms can be a great help to you.

Because you like things to be in order, you probably have healthy and regular sleep, eating, and exercise habits.

As both a cook and a diner, you should try to broaden your culinary horizons by trying new and exciting foods instead of sticking to bland or boring food.
