September 23

Happy Birthday Libra! You have a gentle, sociable spirit that's common to people born under this sign. Being around others gives you a lot of energy, and it's not hard to find individuals with whom to share time. They come to you! That happy, warm, and very real personality is contagious. Hang on to that treasure, knowing that your demeanor blesses many even without your actively trying.

About the only thing your scale can't measure is petty arguing. When others bicker over silly things in front of you, they better be prepared to either get a stern correction or watch your clouds turn dark and foreboding. Your ideals find that behavior abhorrent and frustrating. That outlook is seconded by the birth number 5 that far prefers working on an opportunity over wasting time arguing about how many angels dance on the head of a pin. With this in mind, you might consider jobs where you can avoid office politics and group dynamics that are ripe with such trite influences.

Knowing that people find you attractive makes you cautious. You definitely want to enjoy closeness, but first you need to be sure someone's on the level and really see what's inside. Past that point, you become a very romantic partner.

Gift idea: a portable CD player (for musical distraction when arguments ensue).

In many cultures the full moon of September is called the Harvest Moon, as this is the time when farmers are collecting the fruits of their labors. One thing people don't know is that every third year, the harvest moon occurs in October (astronomically, it's the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox). Other cultures had different names for this moon, including Nut Moon (Cherokee), Singing Moon (Celtic), Calves Grow Hair Moon (Sioux), and Barley Moon (Medieval England).
