Which Mythological Creature You Were In Another Life (Based On Birth Month)
The creatures of ancient Greece have long been a source of fascination for humans.
Perhaps it’s because we all have a little bit of the legendary monsters inside us. Each birth month has certain traits in common with a particular ancient Greek beast. So, which mythical monster is your match?
April: Cyclops
The Cyclopes are known for having one large eye in the middle of their foreheads. This makes their energy a great match for those born in April, as the number one birth month and the ruler of the head, face, and eyes. The Cyclopes are depicted as wild, lawless creatures who did not fear the Gods. Their bravery makes them similar to bold, adventurous April natives.
May: Minotaur
The Minotaur is known for having the head and tail of a bull and the body of a man. Those born in May are the birth month represented by the bull, making it an obvious match for Minotaur energy. The Minotaur had unusual cravings of human flesh, and May similarly has an insatiable appetite. And, just like May, the minotaur is renowned for its strength and resilience in the face of challenges.
June: Cerberus
Cerberus was a vicious three-headed dog that guarded the entrance of the Underworld. As the sign of the twins and the only zodiac with multiple figures as its symbol, June perfectly matches the three-headed creature. June natives are very logical and practical, and could be trusted to discern who enters and exits the Underworld, just like Cerberus.
July: Echidna
Just as those born in July are “The Mother of the year,” Echidna is “The Mother of Monsters.” She had the seductive face of a woman with the body of a winged reptile. People born in July are very nurturing and prioritizes family bonds, similar to Echidna, who gave birth to many famous monsters. She would drag her victims to pits and eat them alive, just as a protective those born in July might do to anyone who attempts to harm their loved ones.
August: Chimera
August-born individuals are the sign of the lion, while the Chimera was a three-headed beast with the head and body of a lion, a tail with a snake’s head, and a goat’s neck and head sprouting from her back. She had the impressive ability of breathing fire from her mouth, just like an angry or protective those born in August have a mighty roar. She was fierce and intimidating, similar to charismatic, bold August.
September: Sphinx
The Sphinx was a hybrid creature with the head of a woman, the body of a lion, and an eagle’s wings. Just like September, she is known for her cleverness – she guarded entrances by giving travelers a riddle and, if they could not answer, she would kill and eat them. Like the Sphinx, those born in September do not suffer fools gladly, and they are highly intelligent and impartial.
October: Harpy
Harpies had the head of a woman and the body of a bird. Like social butterfly October, they often traveled in packs. As the sign of the scales, October is very fair-minded and just, while Harpies were punishing creatures sent to torment those who angered the gods.
November: Medusa
Medusa was once a beautiful princess who was turned into a monster after having an affair with Poseidon. As the most seductive birth month, November is a great match for Medusa’s lore. She had living snakes for hair, and could turn anyone who looked at her into stone – just like a vengeful those born in November will punish anyone who crosses them.
December: Centaur
Those with December birthdays are represented by the archer, a Centaur with the head and upper body of a man and the lower body of a horse, holding a bow and arrow. This naturally makes the Centaur a perfect match for the December-born birth month. Centaurs are depicted as wild, lawless, and animalistic, just like passionate, free-spirited December.
January: Typhon
Just as those born in January are “The Father of the year,” Typhon was “The Father of all Monsters.” He is considered the deadliest and most powerful creature in Greek mythology, and he even once attacked the Olympian gods. It’s easy to imagine ambitious, motivated, charismatic January leading the charge against a formidable opponent.
February: Pegasus
Pegasus was a winged white stallion, born from Medusa’s neck when she was decapitated by Perseus. He ascended to heaven and was used by Zeus to bring thunder and lightning from Olympus. Similar to Pegasus, February is the birth month of the water bearer, who was tasked with bringing the water of life to their community. Those born in February are also rare and beautiful spirits, like Pegasus.
March: Hydra
The Hydra was a snake-like water monster that lived in the lake of Lerna, an entrance to the Underworld. As a water sign on the cusp of the earthly world and the spiritual realm, March is the perfect match for the Hydra’s energy. This mythical beast had regeneration powers: every time its head was cut off, it would grow two more in its place. March natives have a healing presence and are old souls, matching the resilience and restorative powers of the Hydra.
