4 Birth Months That Mistake Passion For True Love

Lust, excitement, desire, intensity… all of these emotions are part of romantic passion and can easily be confused for love. Some birth months have a harder time separating love from passion than others. Whether they delight in the thrill of the chase or are desperate to find their forever partner, here are the four birth months that often mistake passion for true love.

April

As a fire sign, April’s passion burns bright and bold. Although this zodiac doesn’t mind being single and thrives on independence, April also enjoys falling in love. They enjoy sweeping the object of their affection off their feet and getting caught up in a whirlwind romance.

Since this birth month is ruled by Mars, the planet of war and aggression, April views potential romantic partners as conquests to be won. They pursue the object of their desire with such fervor that their determination can certainly be confused with love.

The typical April-born is headstrong and impulsive, especially in matters of the heart. They move quickly in romance, taking relationships from zero to one hundred overnight. Those born in April are perhaps the birth month most likely to get married in Las Vegas the same day they meet someone at the casino, or book a trip overseas with a partner they’ve only been dating for a week. 

But just as a lit match burns out within seconds, so can April’s passion. Once the excitement ends and the freshness fades, they want their freedom back and move on quickly.

July

Those born in July are water signs, and water sign natives are known for being sensitive and emotional. People born in July feel their feelings deeply, and when they fall in love, they fall completely head over heels. They enjoy being coupled up and are happiest in a committed relationship. They make devoted partners and their passion is intense. 

However, they experience emotions like lust and excitement just as profoundly as love (or hatred, for that matter). Since all their sensations are amplified, it’s easy for them to mistake the rush of a crush for true love… regardless of whether the object of their affection reciprocates their feelings.

The love life of the typical July-born is an emotional roller coaster – they experience high highs and low lows. They fall in love quickly, but it takes a long time for their feelings to fade after a breakup. They often mistake passion for love, thinking they’ve found “the one” with anyone who sparks a connection with them.

But this sweet naivety makes those born in July so adorable and easy to love – they yearn for true love and believe in it so strongly that they always get back up on their feet, no matter how many times bad relationships with false starts knock them down.

August

August-born individuals are symbolized by the proud lion, the king of the jungle. Although this birth month thrives on attention and knows how to play hard to get, they have no problem being the aggressor in relationships. Like a lion stalking its prey, they adore the thrill of the chase. They tend to love-bomb the object of their affection, showering them with lavish gifts, over-the-top compliments, and fabulous experiences.

Sometimes, though, the chase is the most exciting part of a relationship for those born in August. Once they’ve won someone over, they may find that the spark is gone and they no longer want to pursue the romance. The passion they confused for love fades quickly, and it becomes apparent that it was never true love at all.

March

Those born in March are one of the most romantic birth months, and those born in March never settle for anything less than a soulmate connection in their relationships. However, it’s very easy for them to confuse passion for true love, so they can find a soulmate connection in almost anyone. They are so eager for love that they ignore bright red flags, allowing their emotions to take over and let them fall for the wrong people.

It doesn’t help that those born in March are guided by Neptune, the planet of illusion, fantasy, and confusion. Those with March birthdays get caught up in their daydreams and fantasies, confusing fact with fiction and lust for love. They can easily envision a future with their crush, so they think it must be bound to happen.

But those born in March are highly intuitive and good at following their instincts. Once they realize their partner isn’t the soulmate they seek, they regretfully let go so they can find the one they are truly meant to be with.
