September
(septem, Latin for 7) the seventh month in the Julian or Roman calendar, established in the reign of Julius Caesar
September energy augments magic for prosperity and abundance, balanced with sensibility and a little frugality.  It is a time to thank the Goddess for all her gifts throughout the year.   Beyond this, start making amulets for health, so the when cooler winds come you will be magically fortified.
