So many talents. If I could only make up my mind...
Aries 26 is all about an abundance of talent, potential, ability.
There is a natural sense of being able to do so many things, so well. So, which one to choose? It is not by accident that Aries 26 works in tandem with Libra 26 to form what I call "The Superman Degrees".
Following the "Double promise" of Aries 25, this symbol is super full of promise. If There is any inherent difficulty within this degree, it is that there is too much potential, too many wonderful things to pursue.
Imagine someone struggling to decide between being a professional baseball player, or a vocalist with an Indie pop-rock Latin infusion band, or a fine art graduate degree in line drawing, or obtaining a solid accounting degree (because I am really good with numbers you know), or that organic gardening interest, or getting involved in local politics... Hey! What about motivational speaking?... I'm really good at poker too. Hmmm.... what to do, what to do?
For Aries 26, this tends to be no shallow boasting. That is, this person is not singing "Oh Lord ain't it hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way?" There are talents in abundance. Somehow that abundance proves a problem in many cases. It is hard to be really good at all things.
With so many balls in the air, hesitation is disastrous ('dis-aster; the unfavorable influence of a star). The Aries 26 person is best when a true Aries: act first; consider later. But it is also possible that the Aries individual acts without hesitation, but just cannot stay with one thing for long. In this case, rapid forward movement is hindered by having to keep so many balls in the air.

I have this degree with my Sun and I am older. I have a lot of talents and settled on painting and sculpture. I had a lot of choices, I could have made a better choice I think. When I was 34 I became seriously ill and stayed ill for 14 years and could no longer paint.
When my health improved I was sick of being poor and worked at other things and some of those things disappeared because I was spread too thin and didn't take care of details. I am a very capable person but it is hard to bring my talents to fruition for any length of time or to fully utilize or keep the fruits of my labor. If it is not attention to details then it is outside circumstances. It is also hard to settle on one or 2 things to do. Everything has always been so interesting. And I really don't think I'm ADD. I've been categorized as gifted many times in my life.
OTOH, I am able to bounce back better than most and have had a very full and interesting life. Most (not all)of my life I have had enough to share some with others and not want for survival. Most if not all of my life if I really did need (not want) something it appeared. I have done and been most of the things I wanted in my life. I really can't complain, although I frequently do. I could have done better but have not done too badly. And I am eternally grateful for all the things I've learned. Many insights of many things.
