Have a September baby on the way? With summer giving way to fall and the weather almost perfect, September is a lovely month for a baby to be born in. Here are some fun facts about your darling little Virgo or Libra.
1. September's birthstone is a sapphire. Known as a royal stone, this brilliant blue gem is associated with loyalty, sincerity, and integrity.
2. Your September baby's flower is the aster, which represents love, wisdom, and patience. Fun fact: Asters are part of the daisy family, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.
3. Babies born in September are either a Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22) or a Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22). Virgos are helpful, dedicated, and hardworking, while Libras are charming, fair, and sincere.
That choice sounds like a win-win to What to Expect Community member mamago5. “Honestly, they’re both great signs,” she shared. Still, she added, “I’m a Virgo and will most likely be having a Virgo, so I’m team Virgo.”
What to Expect Community parent RoRoBeeBo, meanwhile, is a big Libra fan. “Two of my best friends and my stepdad are Libras. They are very good lifelong-friend types. I'm excited to be having a little Libra myself.”
4. Many performers and sports legends were born in September. Your September baby might share a birthday with Salma Hayek (September 2), Beyoncé (September 4), Amy Poehler (September 16), Bill Murray (September 21), Will Smith (September 25), or Serena Williams (September 26).
