Sun sign: Virgo
Sun at noon UTC: 8.2° to 9.6° Virgo
Decan: First of Virgo, 0° to 10°

In every one of the 91 years from 1940 to 2030 the Sun stood in Virgo for the whole of September 1, in every time zone on Earth, between 8.2° and 9.6° of the sign at noon UTC, so a September 1 birthday is a Virgo birthday whatever the year or the hour.

At noon UTC on September 1 the Sun is in the first decan of Virgo, 0° to 10°, in every one of those years, a face that belongs to the Sun in the Chaldean order and is read through Virgo, ruled by Mercury, by triplicity; in most years the decan runs from August 23 to September 2, and September 1 is its tenth day.

In most years September 1 is the 10th day of the Sun’s season in Virgo, which runs from August 23 to September 22 counted at noon UTC, with 21 days of it still to come. September 1 is the 244th day of a common year and the 245th of a leap year, with 121 days of the year still to come after it.

September 1 birthday personality

The Sun rules the opening decan of Virgo in the Chaldean order while Mercury, the sign’s own ruler, keeps it by triplicity, so the old reading is service with a bright, visible craft, work that shows its care. Its shadow is a standard no one could meet, the one holding it included.

Born on the 1st, you carry the number in its plainest form, with no compound behind it, only the 1 of beginnings. Numerologists read the first of the month as the self-starter, someone who would rather go first than wait to be asked. In an earth sign the 1’s independence is read as self-reliance, the person who would rather build it themselves than wait to be helped.

A question to carry from September 1: where could your care for doing things well make the first move you have been waiting for someone else to make?

The Sun in Virgo and the number 1 are only part of the story: your Moon, your rising sign and the rest of your chart have as much to say, and the tradition offers all this as a mirror, never a verdict.

Birthday number 1

Born on the 1st, your birthday number is simply 1, the day itself: a 1 vibration supports initiative, courage, leadership, and clear beginnings, with initiative and self-direction as its gift and impatience, isolation, or ego pressure as its strain.

Your 2027 numbers

For a birthday on September 1 the house method reduces the birth month and the day on their own and adds the Universal Year of 2027, 11 (2 + 0 + 2 + 7 = 11, a master number kept whole), as it stands: September, the 9th month, gives 9, the 1st gives 1, and 9 + 1 + 11 = 21, which reduces to 3, so 2027 is your Personal Year 3.

Numerology reads a Personal Year 3 as a year to express yourself, enjoy company and let creativity lead. In a Universal Year 11 the reading adds a note of inspiration, and a reminder to give the ideas a finished form.

Personal Months of 2027, a Personal Year 3: Jan 4 Feb 5 Mar 6 Apr 7 May 8 Jun 9 Jul 1 Aug 11 Sep 3 Oct 4 Nov 5 Dec 6

In 2027 September 1 falls on a Wednesday, the day the old reckoning gives to Mercury, and is a Personal Day 4 (3 + 1 = 4) in a Personal Month 3 (3 + 9 = 12, then 3), while August is a master month 11; the Personal Year itself turns on 1 January, not on the birthday.

September birthstone and birth flower

Birthstone: Sapphire
Birth flowers: Aster, and morning glory as the second flower

September’s sapphire comes from the modern list (the Jewelers of America list of 1912, as since revised), and its aster and morning glory from The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
