How To Tell If They’re Lying (Based On Their Birth Month)

Let’s admit it, we all tell lies sometimes – whether it’s telling a self-conscious friend they look perfect or trying to hide an embarrassing secret, sometimes it feels best to conceal information. Each birth month has a very specific way of lying, and once you can identify it, you’ll know when the May, or whoever it is in your life isn’t being honest. Here’s how to know if every birth month is lying to you and what their specific tells are, according to the month we arrive in.

April

Those born in April are one of the most brutally honest birth months. They are truthful to a fault and rarely tell lies even to spare someone’s feelings. If someone born in April lies to you, it will be noticeably awkward. They might crack a few grins or even burst out laughing while trying to deceive you. Most likely, they will ultimately end up telling you the truth, perhaps even directly after lying to you. They don’t like to keep things hidden and would rather have it all out in the open – the good, the bad, and the ugly.

May

As a fixed sign and the birth month represented by the bull, May is incredibly stubborn. When they want to tell a lie, those born in May stick firmly to their story and have an excellent poker face. They will not budge from the tale they’ve invented, no matter how much you press them for details or try to confuse them. They won’t add too much fluff to their statement, though, preferring to keep things simple. When you ask someone born in May for more specific information and they can’t give you anything or it takes them a long time to come up with something, it means they’re lying.

June

June natives are one of the best liars of the entire zodiac. As the sign of the twins, those born in June have multifaceted personalities at best, and can be two-faced at worst. Some people born in June lie frequently and effortlessly, and the scary thing is, they’re so convincing that even they begin to believe their own stories. The problem, though, is that they get overconfident and start contradicting themselves. Their honest side pops up and sabotages their dishonest self. When someone born in June’s stories don’t add up or dispute each other, it’s a clear indication they’re not telling the truth.

July

People born in July are guided by the moon, the celestial body that keeps part of itself hidden almost all the time. This means that those born in July are very secretive, and their preferred method of lying is by omission. Instead of telling you a direct lie, they will leave out critical details or avoid the subject. You can tell someone born in July is hiding something when they change the topic and intentionally avoid certain discussions.

August

Those with August birthdays are usually very honest, but one thing they lie about frequently is accepting responsibility. They lie to shift blame because they can’t stand the thought of other people being disappointed in them and they don’t want to be viewed as anything less than fabulously flawless. When someone born in August starts pointing fingers over something that could easily be their fault, they are most likely being dishonest.

September

September natives are typically honest to a fault, so lying doesn’t come naturally to them. They are also very meticulous and thorough, so their tell when they’re lying is offering too many details. They will add information that isn’t crucial to the story, elaborating more than usual on the little things. If your those born in September are suddenly telling creative and colorful tales, it could mean they’re not telling the truth.

October

October natives are natural people-pleasers, so they are most likely to lie in an attempt to make others feel good or to avoid getting in trouble. They don’t like being dishonest and fear the confrontation of getting caught in a lie. Even if it’s a little white lie to avoid hurting your feelings, they’ll be diplomatic enough that their flattery is sincere. But when someone born in October lies to you, they will seem uncharacteristically uncomfortable and fidgety. Avoiding eye contact, playing with their hair, or chewing/hiding their lips are common October tells. If they act like they suddenly want to be anywhere but talking to you, it probably means they are hiding something.

November

Here’s the thing about those born in November – you will never know their secrets, unless they want you to (which, in most cases, is unlikely). November natives are impenetrable, and unless they confess their lies to you later (which they will only do if it serves them, for revenge purposes, or if you are one of the lucky few people in the world they respect and love the most), you won’t find out the truth. Sorry, this birth month simply has no tells. You must always be on guard and alert to the facts of the situation if you expect to catch someone born in November in a lie.

December

For the most part, those born in December don’t bother to lie. These happy-go-lucky people are open books, and they prefer to lead with honesty. But if for some reason someone born in December does tell a lie, they will be uncomfortable and try to make it humorous. They’ll laugh a lot and tell a silly story to distract you. The tricky thing is, this isn’t too different from a Sagittarian’s usual communication style. But when it sounds like something is off and your December-born almost seems to be trying to figure out or convince themselves of their story as they go, they are being dishonest.

January

Straightforward, those born in January usually don’t like to lie because it’s an unnecessary complication in their lives. They do their best to be honest most of the time, but they are most likely to lie for the sake of their ambition – they’ll say something false if it helps them get ahead. And when they lie, they stick to the bare basics and don’t expound upon their story. They will stonewall you, making it impossible to pursue the subject further. When someone born in January makes a very simple point or tells a short story and refuses to go deeper with it, it means they are hiding something.

February

You’ll know someone born in February is lying to you when what comes out of their mouth actually makes sense for once. Although they are very logical, those born in February have somewhat bizarre communication skills. It’s almost like they speak their own secret language sometimes. So when someone born in February starts making too much sense, it means it’s a story they’ve rehearsed and decided will come across well. If it seems uncharacteristic or the puzzle pieces are fitting together a little too perfectly, those born in February are being dishonest.

March

Those born in March are very sweet and sensitive, so they are most likely to lie to avoid hurting your feelings. Although the typical March-born doesn’t use this skill very often, they can be excellent liars when they want to be. March natives are ruled by Neptune, the planet of illusion, confusion, and vagueness, which is exactly how this birth month will deceive you. They give vague replies, weave fictitious tales, and make you so confused that you give up on learning the truth. And it’s likely for your own good – for the most part, you won’t want to know what someone born in March is keeping from you. But on the rare occasions that someone born in March lies for their own benefit, the results can be devastating.
