4 Birth Months Whose Best Years Start At 30

When you’re filled with the energy and exhilaration and euphoria of youth, the prospect of turning 30 might fill you with dread. Even thinking about the first gray hair, the first wrinkle, or the first mischievous little bulge of flab suddenly sprouting around your midsection is enough to send chills down your spine.

When you were a teenager, you considered the 30s to be “middle age.” But just as the modern era has its “OK, Boomer,” back in the 1960s, the hippie kids used to warn each other, “Don’t trust anyone over 30.”

And without a doubt, like a fine cheese, some people do get moldier as they age, and life really is a long downward spiral of disappointment and disillusionment pretty much the moment they graduate from high school. 

But like a fine wine, some people get better with age. For many, their 30s will bring home ownership, marriage, children, career advancement, and the sweet nectar of hard-earned wisdom. They’ll have more experience and be less naïve. People will see them as a person rather than just an ignorant kid, and even though they might be saying the same things they said in their 20s, people will finally listen to them. 

Here are the four birth months who, due to the unique personalities bestowed upon them by the stars that hang over us at night, will be much happier and feel more complete in their 30s than they did in their 20s.

June

This is when your legendary Mercury-guided communication skills will fully blossom. You’ll know how to ask for things without sounding needy and how to refuse others’ demands without being cold or insulting. You’ll know how to give someone a compliment without sounding like a suck-up and how to offer criticism without making people want to murder you. You’ll find it easier to say “yes” to good things and “no” to bad things. Finally, and most importantly for your sanity, you won’t get into arguments online. By the time you reach 30, you’ll realize that most people act like dishonest idiots online and hardly ever argue in good faith. 

February

You figured out life in your 20s, so your 30s will be like the gravy on a Thanksgiving turkey and the whipped cream on a pumpkin pie. You have learned from the past and will use your ability to attack problems from unique angles to ensure your 30s are a far smoother ride than your 20s were. You will care less about being popular or successful and more about being happy with yourself and your private life. You’ll be wiser with interpersonal relationships because you spent much of your 20s being burned by cheaters and smooth talkers and con artists who took advantage of your kindness. Because you learned how to be more selective, the toxic people will fall out of your life like withered leaves falling from a tree in late October.

August

Both of the two alpha-personality fire sign natives—August and April—will find their groove and hit their stride in their 30s. In your case, proud Lion, you will become so full of yourself, you’ll risk exploding. You’re in the prime of your life, and this is when you can finally assume your natural-born leadership role. You’ll also be blessed with the mature realization that life is not fair. This won’t make you apathetic, only less prone to getting upset when things don’t go your way. You’ll be assertive, but not so much of a hothead as you were in your 20s. You’ll have learned that with most people, persuasion is a lot more effective than intimidation. Besides, if you’re still angry in your 30s, it’s clear that you didn’t learn anything in your 20s.

April

Your 30s are when you exit the minor leagues and become a professional rather than an amateur. When you start playing stadiums rather than nightclubs. You’ll start to accumulate the power and respect you’ve always craved, but you’ll be savvy enough not to blow it all on rash decisions and reckless behavior. This is because although you were quite the arrogant Ram in your 20s, you’ve started to realize how much you don’t know. And that’s a good thing—it can be very dangerous to be a know-it-all who doesn’t know shit, especially if you’re a CEO or a Senator. You’ve learned the hard way not to make the same mistakes, so it’s your time to shine.
