4 Birth Months Who Love To Play Devil’s Advocate
We all have that one friend, family member, or coworker – the one who just can’t agree with us, no matter what. Even when we know deep down they share our opinion, this person can’t help but play devil’s advocate. What makes them so contrary, and why do they refuse to sympathize? Here are the four birth months who love playing devil’s advocate, and how the month we arrive in explains their argumentative tendencies.
April: The Argument Expert
Those born in April are very loyal, so they will defend and blindly agree with their loved ones. However, those born in April also love a good debate, and they are known for starting arguments. That’s because they are ruled by Mars, the planet of conflict, assertiveness, and aggression. Mars explains this birth month’s combative nature and unwillingness to back down from a fight. April natives are eager to go to war, and they can present an argument for anything (even if it actually goes against their beliefs). They will play devil’s advocate if they are bored, want to help you strengthen your argument, or just feel like flexing their debate muscles. And, as an exceptionally quick-thinking person, they will come up with a contrary opinion or statistic so fast that your head will spin. You can go round for round with someone born in April, and just when they’re on the verge of agreeing with you, they’ll find yet another way to play devil’s advocate.
June: The Curious Researcher
June-born individuals are highly intelligent and curious, so they love learning about all sides of an argument. This is partly because those born in June are represented by the twins – the natural duality of this birth month means that they understand there are two sides to every story, and they may even hold conflicting views within themselves. Half of them may agree with you while the other remains unconvinced, so they play devil’s advocate just to see if you can fully persuade them. Those with June birthdays are ruled by Mercury, the planet of intellect, expression, and quick thinking. This means that those born in June research their arguments thoroughly, and they are skilled at communicating their perspective. It’s a challenge to win a debate against them because they are so well-informed and have silver tongues. They play devil’s advocate just to see how much you really know, and to better understand every side of a situation.
October: The Fair-Minded Peacemaker
October natives are fair-minded and diplomatic, which is why they often play devil’s advocate. As the sign represented by the scales, those born in October are innately interested in justice and fairness. They believe everyone deserves to be heard out and treated equally, regardless of whether they agree with your opinion. October-born individuals are also natural peacemakers, often finding themselves in the position of the middleman between two opposing parties. They are good at making sure everyone feels seen and that the most equitable outcome is reached. They play devil’s advocate to represent every perspective and to help others find a fair, reasonable solution to their disagreement. And they never come across as combative or unkind when presenting their arguments.
February: The Rebellious Contrarian
No one loves playing devil’s advocate more than February. In fact, reverse psychology works better on this birth month than any other, because those born in February hate being told what to do and prefer to go against the grain. That’s because those born in February are ruled by Uranus, the planet of rebellion, individuality, and eccentricity. This birth month is unafraid to be totally different from everyone else and defend a controversial opinion. Playing devil’s advocate comes naturally to them, not because they love to argue, but because they enjoy offering a unique perspective. Those with February birthdays never blindly follow tradition or social norms – they would rather pave their own path. They see the big picture and are happy to present as many opposing viewpoints against your argument as possible.
