I love "The Secret Language" astrology books. In that system, Sept 19-24 is its own mini-sign, described as follows:
quote:
Those born during the Week of Beauty are powerfully taken up with the pursuit of an ideal. Attracted to physical, sensuous beauty, whether in art objects, nature or people, the lure of color, shape, form, texture and the intriguing sound of music or a voice pushes all their emotional buttons and brings them creative inspiration. They are extremely sensitive to external stimuli, react strongly to unusual tastes and smells, and are easily jarred by disturbing sights and sounds. These people, then, must create a highly aesthetic environment for both their living situations and their work. They pride themselves on being up-to-date and aware of the latest trends in fashion, design, art and technology. Others may see their interests in these areas as merely trendy, but there is no denying that their information and taste can be extremely valuable to the organizations with which they are affiliated. Often, they also have excellent executive, marketing and management skills, in which their sixth sense for current developments in their field stands them in good stead.
Because of their interest in the outward appearances of the physical world, they may be seen as superficial and glitzy. Sooner or later in their lives, they will have to address spiritual matters, for they usually discover at some point that their love of externals is an inadequate preparation for the more unpleasant, yet inevitable, aspects of life—disease, accidents, suffering, death. Classically, they will encounter one of these areas unprepared and will feel bewildered and inadequate. As a result, they will be impelled to scratch a bit deeper beneath the surface of existence.
Such individuals are fun to have as friends. Imaginative and free-spirited, they lend life to any gathering. Yet they also have an emotional dark side, which their friends and mates have to cope with. In times of financial stress or emotional turmoil, addictive tendencies may surface, for they have a tendency to turn to drugs and alcohol rather than encounter and overcome the vicissitudes of life head-on. It is here, in particular, that their sensuous nature can be most self-destructive. They must also beware lest the healthy expression of their sexuality be sublimated into neurotic and possessive drives, in an attempt to flee from reality.
The most successful do not lose the common touch or forget their origins, no matter how humble. Yet they have a tendency to isolate themselves in an ivory-tower situation in which they become increasingly out of touch with the more basic aspects of their fellow human beings. This can work at cross-purposes with their ability to keep abreast of public taste, and it can undermine their usefulness. In extreme cases they may become snobbish and elitist, only associating with individuals they feel are worthy of their attentions, or through whose influence they can advance socially.
Heralding the arrival of autumn, the fall equinox takes place during the Week of Beauty, symbolizing the harvest. Perhaps John Keats’ poem “To Autumn” with its opening lines, “Season of mist and mellow fruitfulness, close bosom-friend of the maturing sun” best expresses the mood and images of this time—the energy of these people is indeed “mellow.” They will avoid arguments, confrontations and unpleasantness in general whenever possible.
Their lovers, co-workers and family members know how sensitive they are to irritating or jarring elements in their immediate surroundings. Similarly, they usually require that the people with whom they choose intimate involvement are very good-looking. The one exception to this tendency occurs when they happen to be extremely attractive, in which case their partners can be of the most unusual physical types. Actually, they have an ambivalent attitude toward physical deformity in others, finding it both repugnant and fascinating.
They may often make a connection with a stable and powerful figure as a mate or friend. Indeed, they may need to maintain a close partnership of some kind with such a dependable figure throughout their lives, if not in their personal lives then perhaps at work, with a co-worker or partner. However, these relationships are frequently affected by psychological projections of parents or family members.
Although those born during the Week of Beauty periodically need to indulge their sense of touch, they may appear removed or untouchable themselves, and may only allow physical contact at special times. Many are content to admire beauty from a distance, seeing it as a quality to be adored or worshiped from afar, rather than one to approach or possess. For them, platonic relationships often have a special appeal.
As you can see, it's a blend of Virgo and Libra. Virgo perfectionism meets Libra aesthetics and social concerns.
