The Red Flag Each Birth Month Is Most Likely To Ignore

Love, love, love! It’s what makes the world go ‘round. There’s no denying it, and even if you pretend to hate romance movies and couples that are always all over each other, deep down inside, you can’t help but be a little bit of a romantic yourself. 

But let’s face it — love can be tricky and we all make mistakes when it comes to matters of the heart. No one is immune to falling for the wrong person — not even connection obsessed those born in October or the those born in May that are ruled by the planet of love itself. At the end of the day, your subconscious hopes and desires play a huge role in who you’re attracted to, and sometimes those desires can blind you to the warning signs. 

Don’t worry, though — we’ve got your back. If you’re crushing on someone who’s playing with your feelings, it’s time to pay attention to the dating red flag you may be ignoring. Trust us, it’s better to be safe than sorry! 

April

April, let’s get real — you’re a total sucker for the thrill of the chase! Even though you might act incredibly cool and nonchalant about dating, deep down, the idea of winning someone over just gets your heart racing. But let’s face it, sometimes you end up chasing after someone who’s playing hard to get and who is actually giving you mixed signals. One minute they’re swooning over you, and the next, they’re running in the opposite direction. It’s enough to make any passionate April natives feel like they’re on an emotional rollercoaster, and that isn’t healthy. This constant hot and cold energy can make you doubt your own worth, and before you know it, your confidence takes a nosedive as you start to base your self-value on whether or not this person likes you back. But here’s the tea, April: you deserve someone who’s just as excited about you as you are about them! Don’t waste your time on someone who turns the chase into an exhausting marathon. Continue being the bold leader that you are, and don’t settle for anything less than pure love and excitement.

May

May — you’re such a softy when it comes to matters of love, and it’s clear that one of the ways into your heart is through some good ol’ fashioned gift-giving and being spoiled rotten. That’s why you love crushing on someone who can offer you both romance and material comforts. But here’s the thing — sometimes your attraction to status, stability, and sensuality can lead you to lovers who view relationships as transactional experiences. Even though you know that a healthy relationship is more than just a fleeting fancy, you might be tempted to overlook the fact that your crush is putting you or the relationship on a pedestal, because you desire to keep it in your life. If you notice that your special someone is starting to set unrealistic expectations for you, it’s time to run for the hills! They could be trying to turn you into a possession instead of a partner, and that’s just not a good look for a Bull. Remember, you deserve a love that’s genuine and based on mutual respect, not just someone who can give you material things. Keep being your fabulous self and don’t settle for anything less than what your heart truly feels called towards.

June

June — you are always on the hunt for a healthy relationship that won’t drive you totally bonkers. This often means that you have to, yes we’re going to say it: communicate. Even though those born in June have a reputation for ghosting conversations and leaving people hanging, what you really need is a lover who can communicate with you directly and consistently. If your crush is taking days to reply, doesn’t seem interested in your thoughts, or just can’t seem to put their feelings into words, it’s time to wave that big red flag! Don’t fall into their mind games. If the apple of your eye is being passive-aggressive, hard to read, or just plain stressful to talk to, you’re signing up for a partnership that will leave you with more questions than answers. And as much as you love a good riddle to solve, do you really need that in a relationship? Absolutely not. Hold out for someone who can match your communication style and give you the love and respect you deserve. 

July

Sweet, sweet July — you’re a highly sensitive and intrinsically kind birth month, and that’s what makes you so incredibly lovable. But sometimes, you fall for the kind of person that requires a lot of reassurance, and that can be a real challenge for you. You’re such a compassionate, Moon-ruled human being that you don’t mind reminding your partner how much you love them as often as they need it. However, sometimes this can lead to you making concessions that infringe on your privacy — like sharing your passwords, phone history, or even your location! Yikes! If your crush needs to spy on you like they’re the secret service, it’s time to take off the rose coloured glasses. You deserve someone who loves and trusts you enough to let you have your own space and privacy. So take that big, kind heart of yours and give it to someone who makes you feel truly cherished and respected. You deserve nothing less. 

August

August — you deserve to be treated like the king or queen of the jungle that you are! You need someone who will worship you and make you feel like the center of their Universe. But sometimes, you can end up with a partner who doesn’t appreciate your shining personality and who might leave you feeling like you’re playing second fiddle. Don’t let them bring you down! You’re a superstar and you deserve someone who will treat you like one. If your crush is always canceling plans, forgetting to text back, or showing no interest in making things exclusive, it’s time to let them go. You don’t need to prove yourself to anyone because you already shine bright like the sun — power is in your blood. Let yourself dazzle this world, and find someone who will cheer you on and empower you to continue to hone in on what makes you magic.

September

Oh, September — your big heart is always looking for ways to make your partner happy, and nothing makes you feel more fulfilled than being of service to them. You believe that by supporting and encouraging the apple of your eye, you’re making the most romantic gesture possible. However, you might find yourself giving your energy to people who are not on the same level as you. If your current crush is still trying to figure things out, you might be in danger of getting yourself a “project” rather than a partner. It’s tempting to think that you can be the one to guide them towards greatness, to help them unlock their potential and to be their hero, but be warned —  you don’t want to fall into the trap of believing that you can earn love by fixing someone else. Remember, September — don’t lower your standards just because you want to be helpful. Love yourself first and the right person will come along.

October

Those born in October, you’re a total sucker for love! You constantly fantasize about finding your soulmate and living a life of pure romance alongside them. It’s all so dreamy, but because you’re under the influence of Venus, the goddess of love, you might have a hard time distinguishing between the honeymoon phase of a healthy relationship and the dangerous love bombing stage of a toxic one. If your new crush is going overboard with the flattery and too-good-to-be-true words, it might seem amazing at first, but it’s actually a red flag you tend to ignore. Love bombing is all about lies and manipulation, and it’s bound to lead to heartbreak. Remember — you deserve someone who will keep their promises, not just sweet-talk you into believing they’re the one. Please don’t ever forget that.

November

November, we love how all-or-nothing you are, and we know that when you set your heart on someone, you’re devoted in an almost obsessive way. As a passionate and stubborn sign, you will do whatever it takes to win your crush over, from writing love letters to building secret shrines (okay, maybe not that extreme) But sometimes, those born in November fall into the trap of the “sunk cost fallacy” — they stay in a relationship that’s past its prime simply because they’ve already invested so much time and energy into it. If you’re sensing that your crush doesn’t share the same value as you, it’s important to cut ties before you give your whole soul to this person. After all, you deserve someone who’s just as committed to you as you are to them. Your mysterious freak of a love is out there. Don’t get distracted.

December

Let’s be real, when you’re around your crush, do you feel like throwing caution to the wind and doing something crazy? We know how much you love living life on the edge and going on wild adventures, but be careful not to let that cloud your judgment when it comes to matters of the heart. Sure, the idea of a rebellious “bad boy” or a free-spirited “manic pixie dream girl” may seem enticing, but it’s important to remember that what you truly need is a partner who can balance out your impulsive side and ground you when necessary. If your crush is leading you down a dangerous path, it might be time to step back and reassess what you really want in a relationship. You deserve someone who helps you soar while keeping your feet firmly on the ground.

January

January natives — you are known for your responsible and nurturing nature, which makes you want to provide and protect your loved ones. This is such a beautiful quality of yours, and you take great pleasure in showing your crush how devoted and caring you are — but sometimes you might get too caught up in building a future with them that you forget to check if they are even interested in the same things. If your crush never talks about their future plans or doesn’t seem to share your vision, it’s time to take a step back and reconsider your investment in them. Remember, it’s important to make sure that you’re not giving your all to someone who won’t appreciate it. Take the time to ensure that you’re on the same page before you go all-in, dear January! It will be worth it in the end.

February

Lovely, dreamy February natives! You are a person full of surprises and contradictions, and that’s what makes you so unique. You love to be independent and enjoy your alone time, but you also have a soft spot for socializing with new people and making friends. However, sometimes when you start dating someone, you tend to disappear from your social circle, and that can be a bit of a red flag. You might even find yourself dating someone who doesn’t really fit in with your friends and family, which is okay, as long as you don’t cut yourself off from that part of your life. Just remember to always check in with yourself and make sure that you’re not isolating yourself from the people who love you. You deserve to be with someone who brings out the best in you and makes you feel happy and fulfilled — both on your own and together. 

March

You’re a real sweetheart. Your compassionate and understanding nature draws you to people who are deep and complex, which can lead you into some tricky situations. You tend to fall for those who are emotionally wounded, seeking intimacy that involves healing. However, be careful not to fall for someone who is using you as a rebound or projecting their pain onto you. If your crush is constantly talking about their exes and painting themselves as the victim, it might be a red flag. Don’t let their emotional baggage weigh you down. Remember, you deserve someone who treats you with kindness and respect, and who isn’t stuck in the past. Keep your heart open, but stay true to yourself March, and you’ll find the right person who genuinely deserves your love.
