September
September is one of my favorite months where I live in the Northern Hemisphere. The temperature is usually mild, the days dazzling with leaf changing colors, brisk mornings, and harvesting time for many home-grown vegetables.
September in Latin means seven. Meaning that in the original Roman calendar it was the 7th month, now the 9th, when January and February were added to the calendar.
During the month, the autumnal equinox is observed. Winter is coming for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere and summer is coming for those in the Southern Hemisphere.
The birthstone is sapphire, and Virgos and Libras fall with the month. The flowers are aster and morning glory. They fit the zodiac signs very well.
There are many patriotic or remembrance days during the month. Don’t forget to honor the chicken during the month. September is also improve-yourself month by focusing on new skills or a hobby and setting goals for the future.
