People-pleaser
The influence of your birthday suggests that you are an intelligent yet sensitive individual, with a charming but straightforward style. Being born on the cusp of Virgo and Libra, you have the advantage of two sign rulers. One bestows a practical, keen intelligence and the other artistic talent. Unfortunately, this double influence can also make you a perfectionist who is inclined to self-indulgence. Nevertheless, the combination of your inquisitive mind, leadership skills, and sensitive emotions has the potential to take you to the top.
With the added influence of your decanate ruler, Libra, you can attract people with your agreeable manner and pleasant voice. Progressively minded, you have a desire for knowledge and enjoy initiating projects that keep you mentally stimulated. Although you appear easygoing, as an ambitious and willful individual, you have strong beliefs and will persist until you achieve your aims. With good social skills, you are a productive idealist who, with self- discipline and determination, is capable of making your desires a reality.
A creative thinker, with quick comprehension, you have a talent for communication. Al. though idealistic, you can also be quite money-conscious and enjoy beauty and luxury. You may, however, need to guard against extravagance or vanity. Using your fine intellect is an important part of your success, so you need work or other activities that keep you interested.
Before the age of twenty-nine, you are likely to be concerned with issues regarding money, creativity, and building harmony in your relationships. At the age of thirty, when your progressed Sun moves into Scorpio, there is a turning point that highlights a growing emphasis on deep emotional change and transformation. You may also become involved in joint finances or dealing with other people’s money. Another turning point occurs at the age of sixty, when your progressed Sun moves into Sagittarius, indicating a need to become more adventurous and freedom-loving, possibly desiring to seek more education or travel.

Although your Sun’s degree is not linked to a fixed star; some of your other planets’ degrees certainly will be. By having an astrological chart calculated, you can find the exact position of the planets on your date of birth. This will tell you which of the fixed stars listed in this book are relevant to you.
Even though you appear self-reliant, you are very responsive to your partners or relationships. Affectionate and diplomatic, you can be friendly and stimulating company. If you lose emotional balance, however, you may become moody or cold, or lose interest. Even though you need people, it is vital that you stay independent within a personal relationship. This means that to stay happy, you require your partners to be fair and have an awareness of equal give-and-take.
Because you are sympathetic and capable, others are attracted to you for help and support. You are usually looking for your idealistic vision through a loving relationship or expression of art, music, or spirituality. If your inner sensitivity is restricted, you may become fearful and hostile. When positive, however, you are able to work very cooperatively with others, particularly in productive partnerships and group efforts.
Flexibility and natural communication skills suggest that you enjoy dealing with people and can be a good promoter or public-relations person. With charm and an ability to be persuasive, you often take a spokesperson role. Mindful of information, you may be drawn to a career in education or journalism and writing. Although you are adaptable, your pioneering thoughts imply that you can introduce fresh ideas or refine old concepts. If you believe in a person or cause, you can be a good agent or spokesperson. Alternatively, a love for music may draw you to the world of entertainment.
Famous people who share your birthday include musicians Bruce Springsteen, Ray Charles, and John Coltrane, singer Julio Iglesias, actor Mickey Rooney, and writer Walter Lippman.

Others are drawn to September 23 individuals for a variety of reasons, including their unassuming personal charm, genuine kindness, integrity and reliability. Despite the potentially conflicting qualities that are bestowed by the planets that rule their day of birth—sensory indulgence and intellectual inquisitiveness—they are generally able to reconcile these characteristics, with the result that they are not only balanced, but also versatile. Thus while they are inspired by progressive visions, and typically display considerable energy and resourcefulness in pursuing them, their ambition is rarely at the expense of others. Those born on this day usually enjoy harmonious and mutually respectful working relationships, and many may choose to devote their careers to the service of others, perhaps—and particularly if they are women— within the caring professions.
September 23 people are also blessed with a sen- sitive appreciation of beauty, a gift that endows them with a profound affinity for the myriad forms of sub- tle expression encompassed by the artistic realm, and some may therefore choose to share their talents with a wider audience as writers, artists, movie-makers or, particularly well-starred for this date, musicians— both amateur and professional. Their pronounced empathy with, and orientation toward, other people characterizes all of their interpersonal relationships, and in turn they are regarded with deep affection by everyone with whom they come into contact. Their desire to please is genuine, and they typically treat others, especially those closest to them, with consider- ation, generosity and loyalty.
