The meaning of September Birthstone

Many people get married in the month of September because of the comfortable weather and beautiful scenery when the leaves start to change color for fall. Fall is the season for change, reinvention, reimagination, and shedding old lives to bring in new chapters.

September’s birthstone, the sapphire, comes from the Latin ‘sapphirus’ which means blue. In many religious and mystical traditions, Sapphire is a sacred stone that gives the bearer God’s blessing and favor, while also granting wisdom. The ancients associated the blue color of this stone as a sign of hope and devotion. Carrying it insured luck, protection and insights into the ancient Mysteries. Rulers often wore this ring as a sign of power and station, but not imperious attitudes. Sapphire balances power with kindness and good judgment.
