September Birth Stationery
Birth Stationery
Ruler
The ruler has been a universal tool supporting human civilization from the construction of ancient Egyptian pyramids to modern precision engineering. Chosen as September's birth stationery, the ruler embodies nature's providence where day and night become perfectly equal at the autumn equinox. At this time, the sun positions itself at 0 degrees in Libra, marking the moment when cosmic balance is maintained most perfectly. The ruler's straight line represents an absolute baseline unswayed by emotions or prejudices, becoming a symbol of wisdom for measuring things fairly. Since ancient times, it has been said that 'to measure is to know,' and the ruler has functioned beyond a mere measuring instrument as a compass of the mind for discerning truth. Even in modern society, the ruler serves as the foundation for all creative activities including planning, design, and architecture, playing a role in bringing order and harmony to a chaotic world.
