My Character..?

This post gonna be really interesting for people who are interested to know more about me, or perhaps people born on the same day as me. Was chatting with Marilyn from midnight till the next morning on some issues regarding relationships, which somehow side-tracked to individual's characteristics. Both of us sharing the same interest in Horoscope (and related areas including elements or runes) started to talk about zodiac and was exchanging some of the details found in one of my favourite book.

What is said... we shouldn't believe thoroughly in Horoscope and stuffs, and I definitely do not wish to live in the shadow of the stated traits. But somehow, I found the information from the book really accurate, and I was definitely not living in its curse as I've never read the book. And there are pretty much stuffs that I can relate to according to the book... thus I'm just sharing it here with you gals / guys for fun. =)

What is listed below are actually copyright from the authors, Gary Goldschneider and Joost Elffers... mostly excerpts from the book but transcribed by Marilyn. Ha ha...

September 26th – The Day of Patient Practice

Those born on September 26 are perfectionists who know that there is only one way to get something right, ie. by doing it over and over again. They are indeed people who believe that practice makes perfect. Technically oriented, always striving to perfect the art of their craft, the highly critical individuals born on this day know how to achieve their goals, but also have a gift for teaching others, if not by precept then by example. They can be a tremendous inspiration to those who admire them.

Nor does this attitude stop with their work. In their private lives, September 26 people tend to be either obsessive, compulsive or both. This can lead to some rather neurotic behaviour at home, as if they are afraid that the sky will fall in if daily activities are not handled properly. Thus September 26 people run the risk of making their family and friends, and ultimately themselves, absolutely miserable. Needless to say, they can also be very trying bosses or supervisors.

Characteristically, September 26 people put their faith in logic and value its application in everyday life. They also feel that few technical problems in their field cannot be solved through the application of rational principles. Yet, paradoxically, their own behaviour can be extremely willful and irrational. Thus, September 26 people tend to be complex personalities, somewhat difficult to fathom.

Quite often those born on this day have a second or even third occupation, avocation or hobby that they keep to themselves. This pursuit can be quite at variance with the image most people have of them. Indeed, hidden and secret activities hold a fascination for some September 26 people, and they can delight in keeping a part of their life private.

Those born on this day are intense, well-directed and hard-driving. They may be idealistic, but rarely stray far from practical considerations, and though they enjoy theorizing, it is the ultimate success or failure of ideas that concerns them.

Most September 26 people have a wonderful sense of humour, but one that can be overlooked, due to its subtle irony, Their caustic criticism, however, rarely goes unnoticed and can make them enemies if they’re not careful.

The more highly evolved individuals born on this day, however, make their influence felt strongly – it can reverberate like ripples in a pond that reach out far beyond them and even survive well after their own lifetime. Even those who do not like such September 26 people personally will usually admit to the brilliance and thoroughness of their work.

Those born on this day seem to handle stress well, when in fact they internalise it, ultimately causing bodily and psychological harm. Much of the neurotic behaviour described earlier is adopted in order to allay fears and anxieties... regular doses of warmth and affection are perhaps the best medicine for stability, but psychological counseling may also be helpful.

Advice:

Let up a bit in your intensity – it can be over-whelming and really put other people off. Be the student as well as the teacher. Sometimes mistakes are necessary; perfection may not be the highest goal. Develop a more relaxed side. Occasionally allow yourself to vegetate.

Numerology:
Although they may be warm-hearted, the saturnian influences of those ruled by the number 8 often lend those born on this day a cold or detached appearance.

Strengths of Sep 26: Technical influential and Persistent

Weakness of Sep 26: Obsessive, Compulsive, Secretive
