Report

Those born on June 26 are most often a tower of strength and reliability to their family and friends. They are very physical people, and though they may be possessed of great sensitivity, manifest the solidity of earth. Regardless of their occupation, they look forward to life’s more sensual aspects and when at home can usually be found grounded in stable pursuits—maintaining and improving their homes, having fun with their families, etc. Children raised by a June 26 parent are usually fortunate in that their home is a haven of security from a sometimes harsh world. However, such June 26 people parents can also be overprotective of their children, shielding them from experiences which might potentially harm but also educate. The practical worldly knowledge of June 26 people is very great, but they are not always so understanding of human nature. This can make them difficult to relate to on a personal level. June 26 people generally insist on doing things their way, and consequently those who live with them may find their own initiative blunted. Excelling in physical or sporting activities is often a major focus for June 26 people, even at an advanced age. If they are not sporting types, they may be found applying their stamina to other areas, perhaps of a more mental or even sexual nature. Indeed, the sexual and sensual side of this day is quite pronounced; June 26 people typically enjoy invigorating and soothing pleasures such as massages, saunas, jacuzzis and ocean activities. June 26 people are almost invariably adept at making money. They enjoy spending it just as much, and since they generally have expensive tastes they must be careful not to let their expenditures get too far ahead of their earnings. The saving of money does not particularly interest them, but investing it, releasing it as a form of energy, does. The healthy cash flow of those born on this day speaks well for their advanced thinking in this area. Becoming wealthy in itself holds no special fascination for June 26 people, but they nonetheless manage to live well. Those born on this day are difficult to impose upon or intimidate. Although they avoid direct confrontations and conflicts, finding them distasteful, they do not back down if a challenge is thrust upon them. In this respect they are fearless. However, in seemingly non-threatening areas they may manifest all kinds of irrational anxieties which can develop into neurotic behavior, running the gamut from not liking their things touched or moved, to eccentric superstitions or phobias. They often have a kind of repulsion/attraction for their fears, and may wind up testing themselves again and again (for example, being afraid of heights but repeatedly daring to go up in airplanes, climb mountains, or do hang-gliding—i.e., counter-phobias). Basically June 26 people are attracted by challenge, but rarely object if life is made more comfortable for them, particularly at home.

Numbers

Those born on the 26th of the month are ruled by the number 8 (2+6=8), and by the planet Saturn. Since Saturn posits responsibility, and a sense of limitation, caution and fatalism, the conservative tendencies of June 26 people are further enhanced in this respect. Those ruled by the number 8 tend to build their lives and careers slowly and carefully, certainly true in both occupational and money matters for those born on June 26. Although they may be actually quite warmhearted, the saturnian influences of those ruled by the number 8 can make for a forbidding or unsmiling exterior, which can give a cold or detached impression.

Archetype

The 8th card of the Major Arcana is Strength or Courage, which depicts a graceful queen taming a furious lion. The queen symbolizes the female Magician who can master rebellious energies and stands for moral as well as physical strength. This card’s positive attributes include charisma and determination to succeed; the negative qualities include complacency and the misuse of power.

Health

Because of their active nature and decidedly physical orientation, June 26 people must guard against accidents of all sorts, particularly to the legs, chest or abdomen. Those born on this day have a tendency to overdo things in general, and may injure themselves through pulled muscles, weakened blood vessels, extreme fatigue, broken bones and the like. Usually they are good at handling psychological pressure, so they often find themselves in professions which others deem acutely stressful and can’t handle. Having children and/or a supportive family life is important to the psychological health of those born on this day, and though they are capable of working at solitary professions or activities, they periodically feel an urgent need to be with the ones they love and to share intimacy. Fortunately for their health, June 26 people usually show a marked interest in cooking and food preparation, and have a knack for finding the right vigorous sport or exercise to keep them in good shape.

Advice

Back off a bit where your children or family are concerned. Have more confidence in their ability to take care of themselves. Don’t test yourself so often. Keep it light.
