The Fairytale Creature Each Birth Month Embodies
Whether you believe in fairy tales or not, there is a mythical creature that perfectly represents your soul. Are you a fire-breathing dragon or a water-dwelling mermaid, based on your birth month’s unique traits? Here’s which mythological beast matches your spirit, according to the stars.
April: Dragon
Those born in April are the first fire birth month and is ruled by Mars, the planet of war and aggression. Those born in April possess the bold, forceful, and dominating energy of a ferocious dragon. They are typically quick to anger, so it’s easy to picture those born in April breathing fire when they’re mad. But, like the dragon, they are also strong, powerful, and majestic to behold.
May: Gnome
Since those born in May are earth signs, it makes sense that this zodiac’s magical creature has a close connection to the earth. Gnomes live in the ground and serve as nature’s guardians, just like a protective and loving May. May natives are guided by Venus, the planet of love and money. Gnomes are believed to protect precious metals and minerals, and they may even have alchemical powers, making them the ideal representative for those born in May.
June: Leprechaun
Leprechauns are mischievous, elusive, and silly, making them match the soul of someone born in June. Like a leprechaun protecting his gold, those born in June are fast thinkers and can be a bit sneaky when they want to be. June-born individuals are highly social, but they can also vanish for weeks at a time – just like a tricky leprechaun disappearing before your very eyes.
July: Werewolf
Werewolves change shape beneath a full moon, transforming from man into beast. Those with July birthdays are guided by the moon, making this birth month extra sensitive to lunar phases and other birth month shifts. Although those born in July are sweethearts by nature, they are also very moody and mercurial. Like the werewolf, they can morph into aggressive creatures when provoked.
August: Sphinx
The sphinx has the head of a human, the body of a lion, and the wings of an eagle. Since those born in August are represented by the proud lion, there is no other birth month that better fits this mythical creature. In Egyptian culture, the sphinx symbolized royalty and sacred status, making this powerful beast a perfect match for confident, regal August.
September: Witch
Guided by Mercury, the planet of intelligence and communication, those born in September possess great wit and ingenuity. Witches use spellbooks to master various charms and potions, just like a hard-working September student. And, similar to someone born in September, true witches know their greatest asset isn’t their magical abilities – it’s their intelligence and resourcefulness.
October: Fairy
People born in October are one of the most social birth months. October natives leap gracefully between social groups like a fairy flits from flower to flower. October-born individuals are also an air sign, making a winged creature the perfect representation of this zodiac’s soul.
November: Phoenix
Those with November birthdays are ruled by Pluto, the planet of death, rebirth, and transformation. The phoenix reinvents itself over and over, rising from the ashes as a renewed bird. Just like the phoenix, those born in November are built to overcome tough challenges and tricky changes, becoming stronger, better versions of themselves each time.
December: Centaur
Every birth month has a unique symbol that tells us something special about that sign. Those born in December are represented by the archer, a centaur with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, holding a bow and arrow. Like the archer, those born in December aren’t afraid to reach for the sky and go after what they want.
January: Hippogriff
The hippogriff is a mythological creature with the front body of a griffin and the back end of a horse. They are fierce, intimidating, and dignified, just like those born in January. Although hippogriffs are fearsome in appearance, like stoic those born in January, they are also gentle in spirit.
February: Unicorn
Unicorns are known for their rarity, and no sign is more unique than February. This birth month isn’t afraid to stand alone or march to the beat of its own drum, just like the unicorn. Unicorns also represent purity and innocence, and while those born in February are old souls, they also possess a certain childlike naivete.
March: Mermaid
Those born in March are water sign symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions. What better fairytale creature to represent this zodiac than a beautiful mermaid? Just like the mermaid, those born in March are at home in the water – they love the sound of the ocean and are comforted by soothing bubble baths.
