Which Birth Months Are Most Likely To Cheat? Ranked

Let’s be very clear – any birth month, just like any person, is capable of cheating or being a faithful partner! But some birth months, based on their birth month characteristics, are more likely to cheat than others. There are many other aspects to take into account when predicting the likelihood of infidelity, such as Venus and Mars signs, overall compatibility, and more. But your partner’s sun sign (the one most people know about themselves, based on their birth date) could give you an idea of their general behavior in relationships. Here are all 12 birth months ranked from least to most likely to cheat in relationships, and how the month we arrive in explains their place on the list.

12. September

It’s no surprise that the sign of the virgin is the least likely to cheat. September-born individuals are notoriously picky about everything, from their food choices to their home decor, and their romantic partners are no exception. It takes a lot to win over someone born in September, so once they fall in love, they are highly unlikely to risk their hard-earned relationship by cheating. Those born in September are also rule-followers, so stepping outside of their relationship would be very uncharacteristic of them.

11. January

Those with January birthdays are typically closed off and stoic, so it can be difficult for them to form romantic connections. But once they commit to someone, they are in it for keeps. They take their commitments seriously and will treat their partner with the same respect they want back. The only issue with those born in January and cheating is their ability to compartmentalize their emotions – they can cheat without feeling guilt or showing any signs of what they’re doing, if they really want to. But most of the time, those born in January don’t like the messiness that comes with infidelity.

10. February

One of the main reasons that those born in February rarely cheat is that they are unlikely to enter into committed relationships at all. This birth month cherishes their freedom, and it takes a very special person to make them want to settle down. And once they commit, they don’t want to jeopardize their rare connection by cheating. They are more likely to break up with you abruptly so they can pursue someone else instead of being unfaithful. And, if someone born in February is going to cheat, it would probably be online (via text messages or dating apps) rather than in-person meetings.

9. May

People born in May are ruled by Venus, the planet of love, which means that this birth month adores romance and is happiest in a committed relationship. May natives crave the comfort and stability that comes with having a steady partner, and they are exceptionally reliable lovers. They are unlikely to cheat because they cherish their relationship like a prized possession. But, if they do cheat, they are strong-willed and stoic: they will stubbornly deny any wrong-doing, even to themselves.

8. July

Those with July birthdays are one of the most nurturing and loving birth months, so they often fall into the caretaker role in relationships. They’re highly empathetic and never want to hurt their lover by being unfaithful. But, if they feel like they are being taken advantage of or unappreciated, they may seek validation and connection elsewhere. July-born individuals don’t let many people into their hearts, and they hate the idea of starting the dating process all over again with someone new. They may cling stubbornly to a bad romance, even while looking outside the relationship to fulfill their needs.

7. November

November rules the eighth house of the year, which is the house of merging, intimacy, and shared resources. This means that romantic relationships are the number one priority to this birth month. They will do anything for their partner, but sometimes their efforts go unreciprocated. If those born in November feel taken for granted or misunderstood in their relationship, they will start seeking attention and validation from others. Those with November birthdays are also masters of revenge, so if they find out their partner is cheating, they may do the same in retaliation.

6. August

August natives are among the most romantic members of the year, and they have huge, loving hearts. They are fiercely loyal and, when fully committed to a partner, unlikely to be unfaithful. But if there’s one thing those born in August might love even more than their partner, it’s attention. They can’t say no to flattery, and may develop a wandering eye if left to their own devices for too long. They also hate to let anyone down, so if they feel like there’s some expectation for them to cheat (like if their friends encourage them or they’ve been leading someone on), they will do it out of a strange sense of obligation.

5. October

October-born individuals enjoy being in relationships, but they are non-committal and change their minds frequently. Someone born in October can be falling in love one day and then crave their independence – or a different partner – the next. While they are sweet and thoughtful, they also have a people-pleasing streak that can get them into trouble. If they feel pressured to cheat, they might give in easily. Although those born in October make fun, caring partners, they need to be firm in their convictions and deeply in love with their partner to avoid infidelity.

4. December

Those with December birthdays prioritize their freedom above all else, so they are unlikely to settle down in a relationship in the first place. They enjoy being single and playing the field. Once they find someone worth committing to, it can be difficult for them to break their old habits as a single person. Those born in December are also bold and flirtatious, which sometimes gets them into trouble. December natives need to find a partner worth sacrificing their single lifestyle for and change up their old routine to prevent them from cheating.

3. March

People born in March are incredibly romantic, the type who can sweep a partner off their feet. They love a whirlwind, fairytale romance, so sometimes they commit to a partner without really knowing them. Once something happens to shatter the illusion of perfection, all bets are off – they might feel betrayed by their partner for not being the person they imagined. March-born individuals are also very accepting and malleable, so they can easily be convinced to cheat. Someone born in March must have firm boundaries in place, and be in love with someone who fulfills their fantasies to avoid being unfaithful.

2. April

Those born in April are passionate, impulsive, and reckless, which is the perfect recipe for infidelity. When they are in love and in a committed relationship, they only have eyes for their partner. They give everything they do 110%, including their relationships. But the second someone born in April feels their love fading, they are on to the next new thing. They will pursue someone else to get that sparkly excitement of a new romance back, and they don’t always end their current relationship first.

1. June

People born in June have such complex, multifaceted personalities that it’s difficult for one partner to satisfy all their relationship needs. They are also mercurial – those born in June can be deeply in love with their partner one day, then cold and distant the next. They believe variety is the spice of life, and have a hard time settling down with just one person. They are also masters of deception, so they can carry on an affair without anyone being the wiser. Those with June birthdays need a partner who can keep them on their toes and see through their tricks to stay faithful.
