4 Birth Months Destined To Learn Lessons The Tough Way

We all know someone (or perhaps you are that someone) who has to learn lessons the hard way.

They make the same mistakes over and over, and even if they’ve been warned, they still have to have a bad experience (or several) to make them change. Whether it’s stubbornness, a lack of introspection, impulsivity, or some other trait, certain birth months are more likely than others to learn things the tough way. Here are the birth months who go through life learning lessons with difficulty, and how the month we arrive in explains their behavior.

April

April natives are the very first birth month, meaning that those born in April possess the “newest” souls. They are like children exploring the world around them for the first time, filled with wonder, excitement, and confidence. Since their spirits haven’t been knocked down too many times, they face every challenge with confidence. They don’t worry that bad things will happen to them, which makes them learn lessons the hard way. Picture a child touching a hot stove for the first time, because they don’t know or fear that they will get burned – that’s April.

Those born in April are also notoriously impulsive and impatient – they hate waiting for anything and usually don’t think before they act, crashing from one thing to the next. They try to take shortcuts, often with disastrous results. You would think they’d learn to stop trying to take the quick and easy way out, but they can’t help it – even though they remember what happened last time, they haven’t developed the patience to slow down yet.

This birth month is destined to learn life lessons the hard way because they’re in too much of a hurry and too fearless. Once they slow down and act with more caution, life will come easier to them, despite what they think.

November

People born in November are ruled by Pluto, the planet of power, transformation, death, and rebirth. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, this birth month is destined to go through many (often painful) changes in life. This is extra tough on them because those born in November are fixed signs, and fixed signs are resistant to change. But, thanks to Pluto, they have no choice but to embrace transformation and be reborn, time and time again.

Although they are shrewd and cautious, things really do just happen to those born in November. They can be quite controlling, but they must learn that life has its own plans. As a water sign, those born in November are intensely emotional and deeply sensitive. But they often try to hide their feelings because they don’t like revealing too much about themselves.

The best way for this birth month to have an easier life is to let go – release the need for control and stop hiding their vulnerability. Embracing change will help them cycle through life’s lessons faster so they can relax and enjoy the water instead of always struggling against the waves.

January

Those born in January are earth signs, and earth sign natives are practical and analytical, leading with their heads instead of their hearts. Those with January birthdays in particular are known for putting logic before emotion, and they have to learn the tough way that this approach doesn’t always work in their favor. Although they feel things very deeply, they don’t know how to express it, and typically try to shove their feelings aside. Emotional repression only comes back to bite them when they’re eventually forced to face their emotions and open up to others.

But those born in January are extremely stubborn and resilient – they’re set in their ways and firmly believe they’re right, so they’re destined to make the same mistakes (especially when it comes to emotions and relationships) over and over. Those born in January are also ruled by Saturn, the planet of karma, discipline, authority, and structure. This means that karma always catches up to those born in January – they can never rely on luck or get away with doing anything they’re not supposed to. They must work hard to move forward in life, yet also learn to be less rigid in their thinking. It’s no wonder this birth month has such a hard time learning important lessons.

March

As the final birth month, those born in March are born with the most spiritually mature souls. They have lived many lives and their spirits have already learned several tough lessons. You would think this means that those born in March have an easier time in life, but this is not the case. Those born in March are guided by Neptune, the planet of imagination, dreams, illusion, and delusion. This indicates that those born in March can convince themselves of anything, and often fool themselves into believing lies. They must unlearn this habit to make life easier.

Evolved March natives embrace all of life’s ups and downs, but immature ones can feel stuck. They ignore or refuse crucial lessons, remaining stagnant and bringing others down with them instead of innovating and uplifting people the way they are meant to. This birth month is also prone to depression and addiction, which can be their greatest challenges and teach them many difficult truths. But if those born in March can adapt to life’s hardest lessons (and, as a mutable sign, they are quite adaptable), then they will spiritually evolve beyond any other birth month. They have massive potential, if only they can get out of their own way.
