Silver-tongued persuader
Independent, with a desire for prosperity, you have a birthday that suggests that you need to channel your innovative ideas into some form of accomplishment. Ambitious, you aim high and are naturally business-minded and good at commercializing your abilities. Quick at assessing people and situations, you can be creative, pioneering, and swift to see opportunities. Conscious of your appearance, you like to present a smart image that spells success.
The double impact of Virgo, which is both your planetary and decanate ruler, emphasizes your keen intellect and thirst for knowledge. This influence can also accent nervousness, so it may be necessary for you to ensure that you take regular breaks to keep calm. Communication, whether speaking or writing, is likely to be an area where you can excel, and with your precise mental approach you are likely to be articulate. With your high standards and thorough approach to work, be careful that you do not become too critical of yourself or others.
Since your potential for being financially successful is extremely high, you may only need to apply the necessary self-discipline and avoid procrastination to achieve results. Luckily, you are usually hardworking and a good planner or delegator. Although practical, you may like to take a risk when the odds are in your favor, and you want good returns for your work.
After the age of twenty-one, when your progressed Sun moves into Libra, there is an increased need for partnership and relating to others. Your sense of harmony, balance, and refinement is likely to be enhanced, with the possibility of your exploring literary, artistic, or creative interests. This continues on until the age of fifty-one, when your progressed Sun enters Scorpio. At this turning point you will probably realize the growing importance of touching deeper and more subtle aspects of your psyche as well as evaluating your own power.

Alioth endows good judgment, a zest for life, and a love of ease and comfort. Often you are broad-minded and inclined toward liberalism. This star imparts ambition to win, a competitive nature, and a constant need for activity. Alioth also imparts a talent for criticism and suggests that it should be used constructively.
Linked to your Sun’s degree, Alioth’s influence indicates an aptitude for business, sport, government posts, and dealing with the public. It can also stimulate thoroughness and the ability to exploit every situation, but warns against irritability and overconfidence.
• Positive:genuine, frank, endurance, can overcome disappointment
• Negative:ruthlessness, egoism, destructiveness, obstinacy, overcritical
An inner nobility suggests that you are proud and can be quietly dramatic. Being a practical idealist, you need to be of service to others and have a strong sense of purpose, or you may become restricted by materialism. At times you may be unexpectedly modest and at others confident and opinionated. As your ideas are original and ahead of their time, you need the freedom to express yourself. When you are positive and enthusiastic about a project, you have the ability to project this and excite others.
You are likely to be a natural networker who can link people from different groups. With your own philosophy of life, you are generally optimistic and good-humored. An urge to expand gives you a faculty to survey the whole; you are capable of leadership, foresight, and intuitive wisdom. The more you trust and apply this nonrational knowing to your everyday life, the more events will naturally fall into place.
With your organizing abilities, love of large enterprise, and ability to delegate, you would be excellent in business as an executive, a manager, or working for yourself. These same abilities would also aid you as an administrator, producer, or politician. Your skills in interacting with others could help you excel in education, writing, sales, or the communications world. Being competitive and thorough, and wanting to do a job well, you may become a specialist in your field or be drawn to research. Your desire to lead and pioneer could take you to careers as diverse as the military or the arts. Intuition and creativity are your natural talents, and by developing and refining these skills you are guaranteed success. It is important, however, in any career to stay as independent as possible.

Their overriding ambition and single-minded focus in striving to achieve the visions that guide them are perhaps the most striking characteristics of those born on this day. The aims that propel them on their determinedly direct paths through life may be concerned with their personal betterment, or else with bringing about wide-ranging improvements for the benefit of others, but all their ventures are defined by their astuteness of perception, their enviable ability to formulate a practical progressive strategy, and their steadfast tenacity in implementing their plans of action. They also possess remarkable self-knowledge, a gift that endows them with the confidence to stand their ground in the face of adversity.
Yet because September 1 people are usually sensi- tive and blessed with immense personal appeal, when it comes to dealing with doubters, they typically prefer to charm them with regard to their visions, using their silver-tongued words, than to have to resort to the combative approach of which they are well capable. But they can at times get carried away, too.
The highly developed capacity of September 1 people verbally to influence others augurs especially well for their success in advertising, marketing, sales and retail careers, or as powerful writers, actors, sing- ers or performers of any type. Their goal orientation and independence may, however, lead them to neglect their private lives—a tendency that is particularly pronounced in the men born on this day—despite the enormous value that they place on the support offered by the bonds of strong and honest emotional relationships.
