Mercury sharpens the mind here — expect a restless curiosity, a love of talking things through and a knack for picking up new skills fast.

What zodiac sign is September 19?
September 19 falls in Virgo, which runs from August 23 to September 22 in the tropical zodiac. The Sun changes sign at a slightly different moment each year, so the boundary can fall a day or so either side of these dates. If you were born close to the edge, your birth year, time and place decide it.
Is September 19 a cusp birthday?
Not by the usual definition, which counts the first and last couple of days of a sign. September 19 is day 28 of Virgo season, so it is normally read as a clear Virgo birthday.
Which decan is September 19?
September 19 is in the third decan of Virgo (September 12–22). In the traditional Chaldean system this decan is ruled by Mercury, which astrologers say adds its own flavour to Virgo. Some modern astrologers assign decan rulers by element instead, which gives different planets, and decans are strictly 10° slices of the zodiac, so the date range is approximate.
What are the birthstone and flower for September?
The modern birthstone for September is Sapphire and the birth flower is the aster. These come from calendar tradition rather than astrology, and the lists vary by country and source.
