5 Birth Months With The Most Poetic Souls

Have you ever heard someone speak or read something they wrote and thought, this person is a natural poet? Some people are just born with poetic hearts, and they may have their birth month to thank for it. Certain birth months innately possess the skills it takes to create beautiful, lyrical works of art, and they enjoy communicating their feelings and experiences through writing. Here are the five birth months with the most poetic souls, and how the month we arrive in explains their flowery expression.

June: The Brilliant Lyricist

Those born in June are ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, which means that this birth month is highly intelligent and skilled at all forms of communication. They are fast talkers and thinkers, so it’s no wonder that many songwriters and rappers belong to this birth month. And, as an air sign, those born in June are typically vocal and expressive. Thanks to their ability to come up with words quickly and coin clever turns of phrase, those born in June are natural poets. They are also good listeners and have an ear for rhythms and cadences, adding a musical flair to their poetry writing. Walt Whitman and Ralph Waldo Emerson are two great examples of June poets.

July: The Sensitive Artist

People born in July are guided by the moon, the celestial body of emotions, instincts, and the inner self. The moon is also visible to everyone in the world every night, telling us that not only are those born in July emotional, but they are also great at expressing their feelings to others. And, as a water sign, those born in July are even more sensitive and sentimental. This zodiac needs an outlet for all their profound feelings, and poetry is a natural escape. Through poetry, they can express their broad spectrum of feelings in an artistic, constructive way. Famous July poets include Pablo Neruda and Henry David Thoreau.

August: The Prolific, Playful Poet

August rules the fifth house of the year, which is the house of romance, creativity, drama, play, and self-expression. It’s no wonder, then, that those born in August thrive when they have a creative, playful outlet like poetry. And, as a fire sign, those born in August are passionate and enthusiastic – they give 110% to everything they do. If someone born in August enjoys writing poetry, you can bet they will write prolifically, producing written art for all their friends and family and seducing their lovers with romantic works. Percy Bysshe Shelley, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and Dorothy Parker are among the many well-known August poets.

September: The Precise Linguist

Like June, September is guided by Mercury, the planet of intellect and communication. So, they are equally brilliant and skilled at linguistics. Unlike June, those born in September are earth signs, which means they are patient, grounded, and steady. Those with September birthdays are perfectionists; they won’t stop working until a job is done exactly the way they want it, and that includes their creative endeavors. This zodiac will spend as much time as it takes coming up with the perfect rhyme or metaphor. To them, poetry is about accurately encapsulating a feeling, scene, or experience, and they know precisely how they want their work to be perceived. Famous September poets who certainly exhibit these traits include Leonard Cohen and Roald Dahl.

March: The Spiritual Sonneteer

As the most spiritual birth month, it makes sense that those born in March are among the birth months’ greatest poets. This birth month is highly creative and intuitive, and they need an artistic outlet to feel fulfilled. Many of them are drawn to poetry, where they can express their deep emotions (those born in March are water signs, after all) using romantic, flowery language. Since those born in March are the twelfth and final zodiac, their souls are the “oldest” or most spiritually mature. They need a way to impart their spiritual wisdom, but they never want to sound bossy or dull. Poetry is a natural way for them to share their sage advice and experience. Jack Kerouac and Elizabeth Barrett Browning are perfect examples of March poets.
