People born on September 13 tend to dedicate themselves passionately to their work or the task in hand. Their powers of concentration are unrivalled and their determination awesome. In fact, many born on this day have the ability to confront and rise successfully above any challenge that life throws at them.
One of the reasons they are such strong individuals is their powerful selfbelief. They care greatly about being true to themselves regardless of what the current trends may be, and although their straightforward, uncomplicated but highly idiosyncratic approach can win them many admirers, it can also make them the butt of many jokes. This isn’t likely to worry them, however, because they know that sooner or later others will see that their methods were right.
Although they are very advanced when it comes to will-power and concentration, in affairs of the heart they may not be able to demonstrate the same level of commitment or passion. It is important for them to make sure they don’t suppress their emotions because it is only when they have learned to acknowledge, accept and manage their emotions that they will be able to grow psychologically. If they are unable to face their emotions, they run the risk of becoming uncompromising, controlling and ruthless. For those with such potential for creativity and sensitivity, this would be a tragedy.
Fortunately, until the age of thirty-nine there will be opportunities for them to develop and learn from close personal relationships. After the age of forty there is a turning point which puts the emphasis firmly on seeking a deeper meaning to their life and placing more emphasis on the power of personal transformation. Whatever age they are the sooner they learn to listen to their heart as passionately as they do to their heads, the sooner they will be able to devote their considerable talents to a cause that is worthy of them, lead by example and dedicate themselves to making the world a much better place.
☆ On the dark side:Driven, cold, isolated

Because of their sincerity and dedication, however, they gain the respect of others, even those who vehemently oppose them and feel that what they are doing is harmful. At a certain point in their lives those born on this day may change direction dramatically, at one stroke setting out toward new horizons. Once on this path, however, they will continue on it until the bitter (or happy) end.

Generally they will put the interests of their career or work group first, before anything else. Consequently, their family may suffer a lack of attention. It is not that September 13 people are irresponsible (quite the contrary is true) but as long as they know that family and friends are physically all right or at least able to function, they will feel free to go their own way.
September 13 people must beware of a certain ruthless streak in themselves. This is not to imply that they are guilty of hiding ulterior motives, engaging in underhanded behavior or even being excessively competitive. It is just that they can be swept away by their projects, their vision, their commitment to what they are doing to an extraordinary degree, and with little or no remorse can make a decision to compromise or completely crowd out other involvements.
Although September 13 people are highly developed in the areas of will and mental concentration, they have intense physical drives which must be satisfied as well. They have a great biological need to share their life with an understanding mate or partner who is capable of completely accepting them, along with all their foibles. They are also capable of serving this other person well, but may be torn between devotion and their own personal needs.
After separation, divorce or death of a mate. September 13 people (particularly women) will invariably strike off on their own with great energy, but may also carry on work shared with their original partner.

Those born on the 13th day of the month are ruled by the number 4 (1+3=4), and by the planet Uranus whose influences are erratic and explosive. Since September 13 people are usually involved in such far-reaching activities, in either fantasy or reality', they must learn to keep the uranian pan of themselves under control, using their logical Mercury (Virgo) instincts. The planet Uranus is also concerned with change and with unconventional behavior, reinforcing the somewhat extreme behavior of September 13 people. Although the number 13 is considered unlucky by many people it is, rather, a powerful number which does carry the responsibility of using its power wisely or running the risk of self-destruction.
The most misunderstood card in the Tarot is the 13 lh card of the Major Arcana, Death, which very rarely is to be taken literally but signifies a letting go of the past in order to grow beyond limitations, metamorphically. Both this card and the number 4 suggest that September 13 people must guard against discouragement, disillusion, pessimism and melancholy.
