As a Virgo born on September 21st, you are no stranger to your emotions, as you are very sensitive. Your sensitivity is obvious to those closest to you, as you are very open about with them. The same cannot be said about the rest of the world, which you meet with great reserve. You have never been fond of the spotlight, instead preferring to work in the shadows unbothered. Your sensitivity also connects to your appreciation of art and beauty, which is amongst your most positive attributes.

The Virgo's paired element is Earth and as a Virgo, you are the only zodiac sign with fixed connection to Earth. Much like the steady ground that Earth provides, you seek reliability in all matters of life. In order to obtain this stability, you rely on a practical and realistic outlook. Your goals and expectations are rarely based on fantasy, as you cling to your pragmatism. Earth's influence will assist you on your path to success, but it may become detrimental if you fall into an overly conservative state.

Your sign's planetary ruler is Mercury, but as you were born in the third Decan, or part, of the sign, Venus's influence is also strong within you. Mercury's powers are reflected in your agile, active mind and natural communication skills. Similarly, Venus's influence is just as obvious, when your sensitivity and appreciation of beauty are considered. Your artistic sensibility is seen in your unique style, but more importantly it allows you to see the beauty in things and people. Your main weakness may be that you too heavily care about what others think of you. Attempt to fight your natural vulnerability and focus on building loving relationships.

Your natural gifts combine well to make you a good fit in a variety of career paths. Your sharp intellect and reserve would be well-suited for careers as a lawyer, agent or businessman. Likewise, your warmth and caring nature may lead you to a people-based career, such as teaching or counseling. Creative expression may give you the greatest sense of fulfillment, such was the path of Stephen King and H.G. Wells, who are both your September 21st celebrity birthday twins.

The Sabian Symbol for your birthday is a man gaining secret knowledge from an ancient scroll. In times of crisis or confusion, it is important to take your thinking back to its most fundamental state. There is much power in wisdom and with it, you can gain true understanding.
