Those born on May 26 may regard life as something of a struggle, particularly in their quest to find both intellectual and emotional fulfillment. It may seem somewhat paradoxical that it is their own talents, which they employ so effectively on others’ behalf, that impede their own search for happiness. For inherent in these individuals are both firmly held ideological convictions and a restless urge to gain new knowledge and experience.
While having the potential to embrace new ideas, these people may also strive to impose or maintain their strong social ideals. These two characteristics can be remarkably efficacious when in harmony, but if imbalanced they may result in double standards and alternately impulsive and intolerant behavior. Never- theless, the dynamism of those born on this day fre- quently inspires the admiration of others, and they may therefore assume leading roles in those profes- sions that naturally attract them, such as the perform- ing arts, with which they have a special affinity and where they may enjoy autonomy of action and influ- ence over others.
Because intellectual and physical independence is of such fundamental importance to them, May 26 people will inherently resist submitting to another authority. Not only do they find it difficult to conform to cor- porate life, but they may also be reluctant to commit themselves to a single life partner. Within established personal relationships, however, they tend to reserve the freedom that they cherish for themselves exclu- sively, while at the same time expecting their nearest and dearest to conform to their expectations.
