Those born on September 26^th are perfectionists who know that there is only one way to get something right 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, striving to perfect the art of their craft, they 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.

     Characteristically, September 26^th 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. September 26^th people tend to be complex personalities, somewhat difficult to fathom. ( )

     Most September 26 people have a wonderful sense of humor, but one that can be overlooked, due to its subtle irony.  They are intense, well directed and hard driving. They are ruled by the number          8(2 +6=8)

   Those ruled by the number 8 build their careers slowly and carefully, this is also true for finances and personal affairs. They are warm hearted people.
