December twenty-sixth, the day of the indomitable one
Those born on Dec 26 will not be beaten down. Not uncommonly they adopt a rebellious stance, particualarly in their youth. Cuz they tend to live on the fringe, or at the very least oppose the prevailing standards of the day, they can be labeled as troublemakers and attract a measure of hostility and negative energy.
Dec 26 people are challengers by nature. The truth or falsehood of a given situation is something to be examined in plain sight, not bandied about casually or avoided for the sake of convenience. Those born on this day are courageous enough to confront issues or areas of existence that others shy away from.
Whether in their family, social group or work situation they are known as outspoken critics of ignorance and have little patience for flattery or deception. The danger exists that dec 26 people can get too hard, like a stone that year after year resists the wind and rain. Finally, they may lose sensitivity to the point of becoming unfeeling, both personally and in an empathic sense. To safeguard against such a thing happening, dec 26 people must consciously allow for their humanness- make an effort to admit their maistakes, see the opposing point of view and perhaps even occasionally admit defeat.
They have have impressive ability to concentrate all of their energy into one area, which makes them devastating opponents and bad enemies to make. They can be difficult and intense in love relationships, as they generally must play the dominant role; serious attempts to wrest this position from them usually meet defeat or cause a breakup. Learning to supply tenderness, kindness and unconditional love to a mate is a great challenge for dec 26 people to meet.
Advice- keep open and maintain flexibility. Don’t be afraid to admit you were wrong. Do not demand absolute allegiance, such an attitude only arouses resentment. Remember your family and colleagues. Don’t harden your heart.
Strengths- careful, perserving and methodical
Weakness- inflexiable, dominating and authoritarian.
Meditation- the most rigid trees are the first to be snapped in the wind.
