You Irrational Fear (Based On The Month You Were Born)
Every birth month has a typical fear: Those born in September are afraid of losing control, those born in December fear commitment, etc. These fears are justified based on that birth month’s personality traits. But what about irrational fears? What beliefs do the signs hold about themselves that are completely off-base? Here’s each birth month’s greatest irrational fear, based on their personalities and how they view themselves in the world.
April: Losing
As the very first birth month, those born in April have to be number one at everything they do. They are extremely competitive to the point that they may avoid doing things they’re not good at so they won’t fail.
This can stunt their growth and prevent them from embracing all the new things life has to offer. Those born in April are great at overcoming challenges, so they need not fear losing and should learn that our mistakes can mold and strengthen us.
May: Financial Instability
People born in May are ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and money. This means that those born in May are highly concerned with wealth and financial stability. This birth month is a bit of a paradox: Those born in May are very hard-working, yet has a lazy, indulgent side.
May natives worry their idle side will take over, or their desire for luxury goods will make them overspend to the point of ruin. But those born in May are excellent at manifesting money-making opportunities, so they need not worry about financial instability.
June: Being Misunderstood
June-born individuals are guided by Mercury, the planet of communication. This makes June one of the most social and outgoing birth months. Clear and effective communication is very important to those born in June, which is why their irrational fear is being misunderstood.
Those with June birthdays are also represented by the twins, telling us that those born in June have multifaceted personalities. They may show one face in public and another in private, which adds to their fear of being misunderstood.
But those born in June can rest easy knowing that their communication skills are above and beyond most other signs. Since transparency is so important to them, they are unlikely to confuse others unintentionally.
July: Losing Family
July rules the fourth house of the year, the house of home and family. People born in July are also considered the “mother of the year,” so family ties are of the utmost importance to those born in July.
This is why July’s biggest irrational fear is losing a loved one or something bad happening to a family member. They are very sensitive and take on others’ feelings as their own, so when a loved one is hurt, it hurts them. They are also highly protective and feel responsible for the well-being of their family members.
July natives need to remember that they will always have family close to them because they value their loved ones so dearly. Their family will not abandon them, and they can’t hold themselves accountable for the complete health and safety of everyone they love.
August: Disappointing Others
Those with August birthdays come across as extremely bold and confident, and they love being the center of attention. They are even willing to make fools of themselves if it means making other people laugh and putting them in a good mood.
But what those born in August fear more than anything is disappointing others. They want to live up to and surpass other people’s expectations. Their friends and families mean the world to them, and they never want to let anyone down.
August natives must lean into their inner confidence and know that if they are truly being themselves, they will never let their loved ones down. Everyone makes mistakes, but they don’t have to define who you are.
September: Getting Sick
September rules the sixth house, which is the house of health and self-improvement. This means that those born in September are very particular about their diet and exercise programs, and they love a good self-help book.
September-born individuals are irrationally afraid of getting sick. They are worriers by nature and can turn a minor health concern into a terminal illness in their minds. Those born in September need to take a deep breath and assure themselves that they take excellent care of their bodies. Some illnesses can’t be prevented, but they are doing everything they can to stay healthy.
October: Hurting Other People’s Feelings
People born in October are the peacemakers of the year. They are social butterflies, flitting from one group of people to the next. They know how to work a room and make everyone feel at ease.
Although they do enjoy a bit of drama, those born in October really just want everyone to get along. They hate conflict and can’t stand it when anyone is mad at them. That’s why October’s biggest irrational fear is hurting other people’s feelings. They don’t want to argue or make anyone upset.
Because they are so aware of other people’s feelings, they are unlikely to hurt them. Those with October birthdays will own their mistakes and apologize if they say something hurtful by mistake, and their relationships won’t suffer.
November: Rejection
November rules the eighth house, which is the house of intimacy. This means that those born in November value their romantic relationships above all else.
November natives have a hard outer shell, but deep down they are true softies. They may come across as cold and tough to those who don’t know them very well, but below the surface, they are deeply sensitive and caring. November-born individuals often reject others first because they are so terrified of the pain of rejection.
This birth month needs to learn to open up a little – if no one ever sees your inner self, they will not know what they are missing out on. Everyone experiences rejection to some degree, but the right person won’t abandon you.
December: Boredom
Those born in December love to explore and is perhaps the birth month that loves travel the most. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and optimism, those born in December are always trying new things and pushing themselves to grow.
What those born in December fear irrationally is boredom or getting stuck. They hate the idea of being tied down and will do anything to avoid it. But those born in December need to remember that it’s completely within their control to steer clear of boredom and stagnation. They always know it’s time to leave when they feel stuck or bogged down, and they can trust their gut instincts.
January: Failure
January-born individuals are one of the most ambitious and hard-working birth months. Not only is it important for them to be successful but they also want recognition for their achievements.
Those born in January fear failure more than anything, and not just in their careers. They are terrified of failing in their relationships, finances, friendships, or anything else.
This birth month needs to realize that it’s okay to make mistakes. They don’t have to be 10 steps ahead of everyone else at all times, and other people don’t need to acknowledge their triumphs for them to count. People born in January are always sincere and doing their best, and that’s what matters.
February: Feeling Trapped
Those born in February are fiercely independent birth months. They march to the beat of their own drums and are never afraid to stand out from the crowd.
Sometimes they struggle in relationships because it’s hard for them to let others get close. As soon as they start to rely on someone or sense that their partner depends on them, February pulls away. They fear feeling trapped, not just in love, but in work, friendships, a location, or anything. They crave freedom and want control over their lives.
Those with February birthdays need to remember that they can change their circumstances at any time, and they are never truly trapped. Letting someone get close to you doesn’t mean you have to stay together forever. Loving the town where you live doesn’t mean you can’t travel or move again.
March: Never Finding Love
March natives are one of the most romantic birth months of the entire zodiac. They crave a deep, profound love that transcends the earthly realm. They are looking for a soulmate connection that will last until the end of time.
March falls in love easily, and they also get their hearts broken a lot. They are willing to be soft and open, and sometimes others abuse this vulnerability.
Those born in March should never stop searching for their true love, even if they are feeling discouraged. Don’t build walls around your heart due to past disappointments. Idealize yourself the same way you idealize your partners – once you turn all the love you have to share inward, the right person will come along.
