4 Birth Months Who Thrive When It’s Super Cold Outside

November

There’s no harsh condition those born in November can’t handle, in fact, they’re always pushing themselves to new extremes. Some of the motivation comes from their desire to constantly shock and awe. The need to maintain a certain level of mystery and intrigue that propels people toward them, that demands further investigation. The rest emerges from a place of self-preservation. They want to be the hardest, the strongest, the meanest, the coldest, literally and figuratively. They need a shield that can protect them in front of others, even in the most heartbreaking of circumstances. Their biggest magic trick is the ability to make their tears freeze on command before anyone can realize they’re upset. They thrive because they can exert an extreme level of control that lets them make a conscious decision about when and who they open up to.

August

August draws warmth from their social circle in the coldest months of the year. There is always someone to huddle next to or share a blanket with, some festive activity to be joined in or invited to. They would rather be out in a picturesque snow-covered landscape than to admire it through a frosted window. Aeople born in August are the reason people had balls back when everyone had to travel by horse drawn sleigh. Who in their right mind today would travel four to six miles per hour in a gown and furs through a snowstorm? someone born in August with an incessant need to party would. Their modern counterparts are the friends who always insist you don’t need a coat for the bar even when the thermometer dips below negative, and while you’re contemplating calling an ambulance, you’ll notice they are having more fun than ever.

July

Those born in July are the mom who packs everything needed for a winter excursion. Of course they have an extra scarf, back up layers, and disposable hand warmers. There is nothing they can’t prepare for in advance. There’s nothing a thermos of spiked hot chocolate can’t make better, and they’re willing to prove it. They insist on being positive and preparing for the worst because they’ve been caught off-guard in the past. Being in that position once is enough to make them swear they’ll never allow it to happen again. Those born in July take extra good care of themselves because it leaves no room for anyone else to disappoint them. No one can leave you in the cold if you’ve elected to be there in the first place. And once they’re there, they make sure everyone else feels seen and taken care of. They right the wrongs they’ve experienced in the world first hand.

May

Those born in May know the cold is a luxury. Why complain about getting it for free when we pay for air conditioning the rest of the year? They’re the sign ice bars were designed for because they know liquor is meant to be stored in a freezer and served on the rocks. Their aesthetic is Pierce Brosnan on a snowmobile, Elsa in her magical lair, the childhood innocence that believes that anything you could hope or wish for can be handcrafted in the North Pole, all combined into one. They know everyone on the planet looks good in a turtleneck, and boots have a level of refinement that even the sleekest white sneakers will never achieve. They quote Matthew McConaughey’s “frost yourself” tagline from How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days every time they walk through a jewelry store window. They’ll tell you to keep your tropical beach vacation so they can opt for après-ski.
