Ahhh...

September, the ninth month of the current Gregorian calendar and the first month of Autumn, my favorite season. September derives it's name from septem, the Latin word meaning "seven", as September was the seventh month of the old Roman calendar.

The traditional birthstone of September is the blue sapphire; and the aster and the morning glory are the month's traditional flowers.

September is shared by the astrological signs of Virgo the Virgin and Libra the Scales (or Balance). During the month of September, the Great Solar Wheel of the Year is turned to the Autumnal Equinox.

In Celtic Tree Lore, September is the month of the Vine, and has the:
10th Moon of the Celtic Year - (Sept 2 - Sept 29)
Latin name: Grape - vitis
Celtic name: Muin (pronounced: muhn).
Folk or Common names: Grape (when dried: Raisin).

Grapes are an herb of Jupiter and the Moon, and are associated with positive ego strength. Birds associated with the month of the Vine are the Tit-mouse and the white swan; the animal is the snake; the color is variegated; and the gemstone is amethyst. The wood of Vines is one of the nine traditional firewoods to be added to the Belfire that is burned at Beltane as the Vine is a symbol of joy (it's juice is capable of altering consciousness).

If you are a Vine sign, you are born within the autumnal equinox, which makes your personality changeable and unpredictable. You can be full of contradictions, and are often indecisive. This is because you can see both sides of the story, and empathize with each equally. It is hard for you to pick sides because you can see the good points on each end. You have very distinctive taste, and are a connoisseur of refinement. Luxury agrees with you, and under good conditions you have a way of turning drab into beauty. You are charming, elegant, and maintain a level of class that wins you esteem from a large fan base. Vine signs pair well with Willow and Hazel signs.
