September 9 is vulnerable to strong colour which can lighten and stimulate with almost as powerful an effect as a glass of champagne. Crimson lake, Chinese turqoise, ambers through to burnt sienna, platinum and silver is the right palette.
Sun Sign: Virgo/Mercury
Decanate: Virgo/Saturn; Numbers: 9, 9
Few people born under the sign of Virgo show the generous spirit of the star sign so seductively as September 9. The girls use their strong powers of concentration to get on at school and in their first jobs or higher education. Where once people might have said they were good, but plodders, their deeper brilliance begins to show as they mature. In this case earlier than other Virgo days.
Brilliant, charismatic, rich partners may be drawn to September 9 as mentors because of the honest, trusting nature and intelligence of these Virgolden girls and boys. Soon those mentors, having showered gold and silver, and September 9's favourite amethysts, denoting freedom from nagging worries, and pearls, denoting calm, find that their moment is past. No one is discarded. Others merely take over as escort to the empress or emperor.
Partners who have been loved even briefly by these creatures never forget that magical time and in later years, happily ensconced elsewhere, simply the name of the lost one brings mistiness to their eyes.
The girls may try several successful ways of earning money, perhaps first in medicine where they are well suited with their nurturing instincts. Then into some form of retail, or publishing. And then into public life, with a powerful hobby as a sideline - painting in particular - which may dominate over all in the end.
The men follow a similar pattern. Expect to find them in some aspect of law, or in a public service where a knowledge of law is necessary. These are the guys who work hard to maintain the environment, but never with politically correct zeal. September 9 is never a dull do-gooder.
Expect more than one important love affair. Even several marriages. Expect a late child or two, some being born to September 9 at 50 plus. (That includes women! The natural or aided way!)
Your kind, sympathetic nature makes you charitable, caring, considerate, and eager to help people and animals in distress. Innately romantic and sentimental, you place a high priority on the importance of having a loving relationship in your life. Without someone to love, your tendency is to retreat into the fantasy world of your imagination. Still, you prefer the solitary life to the prospect of being in a relationship that doesn’t live up to your high expectations. There is a more cerebral, scientific side to your nature that also craves love and companionship, albeit of a more thoughtful and intellectual variety.
You want a close union based on mutual respect and affection. Highly attuned to your partner’s needs and desires, you make a thoughtful, considerate lover. Your earthy sensuality becomes ever richer with age and experience. When you find a new way to please your mate, you will hone the technique until it approaches perfection. However, you crave a type of intimacy that goes deeper than mere sexual satisfaction. You long to connect to your beloved mentally and spiritually as well as physically.
September 9's pleasure in marriage, even if there have been several, helps them to live a longer, healthier life. Surveys have shown that if you are married you have less chance of dying from strokes, cancer and heart disease. Divorced and single people are, by conrast, 30 per cent more likely to suffer from chronic conditions such as bronchitis, arthritis, diabetes, peptic ulcers, back problems, gallstones, skin complaints, hypertension and even varicose veins and migraines. Why? Medical experts say its possible that people who live in a close relationship mutually activate and stimulate the immune system. It has been demonstrated that married people even catch fewer colds.
You get off on talking about sex and may spend a lot of time daydreaming and fantasizing about love and romance. Your imagination is so vivid, it may take only a few provocative suggestions to put you in the mood. Even though it makes you blush, a detailed conversation with your lover about what you’re about to do is a major turn-on.
September 9 is vulnerable to strong colour which can lighten and stimulate with almost as powerful an effect as a glass of champagne. Crimson lake, Chinese turqoise, ambers through to burnt sienna, platinum and silver is the right palette.
You’re an odd dichotomy of artistic temperament and scientific mentality.
Although one part of you is dreamy and emotional, the other side is cooler and more rational. Information you can’t find through study or research often comes to you intuitively, in the guise of a hunch or a feeling.
