September is the season of 'Earth Element'; this is the time of harvesting and storing for the colder months to come. It is a calm and replete point, with energies becoming less outward than in the main summer weeks.
From an individual point of view it is a good time to focus on the centre of one's self and life, take stock of what has been experienced in the more 'yang months' and prepare for the more 'yin' and inward elements of months to come. Cooking, gardening, chi-gung, amongst other things, are all good for this season. Maybe being more easy on ourselves and not just checking into our progress by external monitors: but reflecting on what can be harvested for ourselves from our own emotional insights.
As the centre of the elements, traditionally to Chinese medicine, Earth also has a role at the turning point of all seasons - bringing all into the centre.
