This blog is all about September. Facts, poems, Astrology, and more are all in here. Here goes!
How lovely the world is
In September
Warm air
Leaves just turning gold
Summer still lingering
Autumn coming nearer
It is a time of bittersweet endings
And bittersweet beginnings
It seems that every September
The world takes a deep breath
Shakes off the August heat
Prepares for a long winter
Knowing no one will feel this way again
Until next
September.
In Latin, septem means "seven" and septimus means "seventh"; September was in fact the seventh month of the Roman calendar until 153 BC, when there was a calendar reform from the month of the Ides of March to the Kalends, or January 1. In the Northern hemisphere, the beginning of the meteorological autumn is 1 September.
Labor Day (Labour Day in Canada) is observed on the first Monday in September in the United States and Canada.
In the United States, September 11 is Patriot Day, in remembrance of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
National Grandparents' Day takes place on the first Sunday after Labor Day in the United States and Canada.
September's birthstone is the sapphire. The meaning is clear thinking.
The birthflowers for September are the forget-me-not, and aster.
Virgo is the sixth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Virgo. In western astrology, the sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. In astrology, Virgo is considered a "feminine", negative (introvert) sign. It is also considered an earth sign and is one of four mutable signs. Virgo is traditionally ruled by the planet Mercury, but Ceres and several other planets have been suggested as the ruler of Virgo by some modern astrologers. Being the sixth sign of the zodiac, Virgo has been associated with the astrological sixth house.
Individuals born when the Sun was in this sign are considered Virgo individuals. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun is in Virgo roughly from August 24 to September 22, leaving it at the moment of autumnal equinox, by definition. Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from September 17 to October 17. The Sanskrit name of Virgo in Hindu astrology is Kanyā.
