Born September 06

Those born on September 6 are usually blessed with extreme good looks, wit, charm and sexiness. The women have the delicate rounded legs characteristic of Virgoan pins, with excellent ankles, small feet, but full thighs big enough to plague their owner. They have good waists, shining hair and excellent hands. The men have strong silky hair, but beware – some may start to disappear in the late twenties. A few are athletically proportioned, still on the slim side, with square shoulders. But, sadly, most men rarely reach six foot tall and many don’t grow much beyond five foot eight inches. Nobody else of course ever cares about the height of this man because he is so attractive and brimming with Virgo maxi-bubble that it doesn’t matter. But it matters to him and in youth he will study all sorts of crackpot medical reports about foods and drinks to make you grow taller. Miss September 6, being extremely fond of food, similarly studies masses of slimming literature and buys bagloads of slimming pills and teas. Usually nothing works and she looks great anyway. This preoccupation with looks often leads to a career in the fashion industry, cosmetics, hair or health. At the top end of the market, both sexes will hang out in the most luxurious health farms, polishing and pruning for their next publicity drive. But find them working there too, the genius massage therapist, the magician with skin and the person who cooks exquisite food, apparently containing no calories at all. Within a ‘safe’ environment such as the looks business, these people flourish. But if they leave to work elsewhere, or even start a family, September 6 sometimes finds that whereas before he or she could rely on their planning ability, now things may go astray in spite of the greatest care. They are subject to the downside of chance, but fortunately only in patches during their life. You must suffer to be beautiful.

Body

Keep your thong and thigh zone peachy smooth and cellulite free with exfoliation and massage, boosting lymphatic drainage and dispersing fluid retention -the cause of spongy cellulite skin. Experts say that daily dry body brushing is the best for a smooth, polished chassis. With a natural, non-scratchy brush, sweep from the soles of the feet upwards over the front and back legs, buttocks and stomach. Use long, firm movements, always brushing towards your heart. Follow up with a warm, then cool shower, directing jets in circular movements over hips, thighs and tummy. Twice a week, massage with sea salt.

Mind

Relieve the unhappiness of ill luck by turning to gardening, a great soother of the soul. Try clematis, which famously symbolises endurance. Loveliest is the double lavender ballet skirt Clematis Belle of Woking.
