Tenacity is the first name of people born on September 26 and discipline the second, but their last name is perfectionist. They demand nothing short of excellence from themselves and others, and simply cannot understand those with less drive.
The careers of these goal-orientated people are of supreme importance to them and, as a result, they often take on far too much. They possess, nevertheless, the ability to thrive under pressure and to inspire the admiration of others when they achieve what seemed to have been impossible. Not surprisingly, with such inspired ambition, determination, self-discipline, and focus, their career potential is of the highest order and more often than not they can and do rise to the very top. The downside is that their absorption in their work can become obsessive and compulsive; this is damaging to their psychological growth because it makes them ignore not only their own emotional needs, but those of their loved ones.
Before the age of twenty-six they are likely to be concerned with issues regarding money, but there will also be opportunities for them to develop strong relationships with others. They should take advantage of these opportunities because the support and company of others will help them keep a much-needed sense of perspective. After the age of twenty-seven the focus shifts to emotional change and intensity, and these are the years when they are most likely to become devoted or committed to their careers. During these years their potential for success is outstanding but for their psychological growth they need to make sure they take regular time out to ensure they nurture their relationships and find time for outside interests.
These people will always be driven, focused and occasionally bossy, but once they are able to moderate their obsession with work their tenacity and superior powers of concentration will yield results that can not only benefit others considerably but are also the subject of awed, if somewhat bemused, admiration.
☆ On the dark side：Compulsive, workaholic, controlling
☆ At your best：Disciplined, driven, influential
Those born on September 26 are perfectionists who know that there is only one way to get something right, i.e., by doing it over and over again. Like the man who was asked the way to Carnegie Hall and replied—"Practice!"—these 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 behavior 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 behavior 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 humor, 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 bom 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.
