You are friendly and aware of yet practical and shrewd, and the influence of your birthday suggests that you are a constructive idealist. Energized by contact with people, you are a good strategist or planner who is capable of being single-minded and focused. Sociable and kind, you possess a love of humanity and a richness of feeling. Very determined, active, and hardworking, you have the potential to achieve your big plans.
With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Capricorn, you are realistic, precise, and articulate. You are also self-disciplined and have good communication skills. Eagerness for knowledge and an ability to analyze and be thorough can make you a good researcher or investigator.
It may, however, be necessary for you to balance the two sides of your nature. On one hand, you can be tough, obstinate, and demanding; on the other, you can be sensitive and extremely generous, especially with those you love.
You possess an active and intense imagination and in your idealistic quest for truth may be drawn to metaphysical or religious subjects. Although generally a practical optimist, you may at times have an ungrounded fear of not having enough money, even when you are doing quite well.
After you reach the age of thirteen, when your progressed Sun moves into Libra, there is an increased need for socializing, partnership, and relating. Your sense of harmony and balance is likely to be enhanced, with the possibility of exploring literary, artistic, or creative outlets in some form. This continues until the age of forty-three, when your progressed Sun enters Scorpio. This is a turning point for you that will highlight a growing emphasis on emotional and spiritual regeneration as well as joint finances or corporate business activity. At the age of seventy-three there is another turning point when your progressed Sun enters Sagittarius and you become more philosophical, with a need to expand your horizons, whether through travel or through mental pursuits.

Fortunately, you will always keep a youthful or playful side, which can aid you in satisfying your lofty objectives.

Those born on September 9 are serious people who are not only absorbed by abstract concepts but also feel a strong sense of responsibility toward those around them. Like the majority of Virgoans, their birthright includes an independent turn of mind, with the result that they have a predilection both for intellectual exploration and for innovation. Having examined an issue from all angles with incisive judgement, they will typically draw an original conclusion as to the best course of action and then dip deep into their reserves of resourcefulness and organizational skills to promote their aims tenaciously. These are sensitive individuals who will seek to enlist the support of others; their determination should not be underestimated, however, and they will battle on alone if necessary. Such is their concern with the well- being of others that their inclinations and talents may lead them into pursuing humanitarian careers, or at least those where their work can be of wider benefit— as scientific researchers or educators, for example.
Despite their interest in others, September 9 peo- ple may appear solitary. They will participate in team or social pursuits but still seem to stand apart from the crowd. This may be partly explained by their innate preference for independent observation, but may also be a product of their sensitivity which may, in some instances, cause them to be beset by feelings of inse- curity (a tendency which is even more pronounced if they are women). Receiving the unconditional love and support of their nearest and dearest is of great importance to them, and they reciprocate such emo- tional bolstering with quiet but unwavering loyalty.
