Their birth month holds the key to why their soul chose you as a parent, unlocking unique lessons and energies that will shape your journey together.
From the fiery passion of a summer baby to the steady wisdom of a winter-born child, each month reveals a deeper connection between you and your little one. Let’s explore how your child’s birth month might reveal the soul-deep reason they’re in your life.
Your child’s birth month reveals why their soul chose you as a parent:
1.January
YourTango
If you have a child that was born in January, their presence in your family encourages you to leave behind old habits and make fresh starts. Their presence might inspire you to focus on your goals, work harder, and pursue your dreams with discipline.
Due to a January-born child’s independence and seriousness, they might push you to take your own ambitions seriously, teaching you the value of persistence and hard work.
“Capricorn is traditional and efficient, and Aquarius is rebellious and erratic,” said professional astrologer Liz Roby. Despite this, both signs are willful, which means they won’t give up so easily, especially when it comes to pushing your limits and enabling you to experience life beyond your comfort zone.
2.February
YourTango
February children bring a soft, nurturing energy that encourages parents to tap into their emotions and develop a deeper understanding of their feelings.
These children may also help you become more open-minded and accepting of differences in others, urging you to foster an environment that values diversity and non-conformity.
The goal for a child born in February is to remind her parents that forgiveness helps you while resentment hinders your growth. “One way to get more comfortable with forgiveness is to practice small acts in everyday life,” said Dr. Tyler VanderWeele.
3.March
YourTango
Children born in the month of March will have the most challenging mother-child relationship because their destiny in this life is to heal their relationship with the feminine energy.
Once these babies accept the unconditional love of their mothers, however, they become unstoppable. Creative and adaptable, March souls are empathetic and compassionate and most importantly, constantly curious.
Your March-baby's soul chose you because they knew you could be adaptable and that you would grow together, indulging in the beauty of the world and constantly in search of the next adventure.
4.April
YourTango
In the same way that March babies struggle with their mothers because of their challenges with the feminine energy, April babies struggle with their dads because of their soul's search for peace with the masculine energy.
April souls are constantly searching for independence and, as a result, choose parents who will help them on that journey. Specifically, they need fathers who take a more hands-off approach to guiding their journey. A helicopter dad will do them no favors.
April babies crave independence and inevitably grow into leaders. Your April baby chose you because they knew you would never squash their determination, and that you would give them the space to grow into the leaders they are destined to become.
5.May
YourTango
May babies are symbolic of the change of season. They embody change in its truest form and will help their parents grow beyond the limitations of generational mistakes and trauma.
Genuine and caring, according to Motherhood, your May-baby's soul chose you as their parent because they knew you needed their guidance and wisdom to heal the pain of your past.
They will be the exact balance of stubborn and sweet to keep you on the path of spiritual growth, and they are sentimental enough that they won't let you forget the past, but rather grow from the negative aspects that hold you to it.
6.June
YourTango
These children may seem distant at first, but once they trust you, they will bring harmony to your life. These children often possess a natural gift for communication and expressing their emotions. They may be here to teach you the importance of curiosity, open-mindedness, and communication.
Dan Mager MSW stated that “being consciously present both physically and emotionally” is the first step to being an active listening parent. Children born in June might inspire you to engage in constant learning, encouraging you to stay mentally active and open to different viewpoints by using their unique communication styles.
7.July
YourTango
Souls born in July choose families that seem resistant to change and tradition because they have a higher purpose to guide their parent toward a better future.
Sometimes getting the title of black sheep, July babies will inspire you to create an environment where everyone’s unique talents and qualities are celebrated. This can help you strengthen your family’s sense of unity and pride.
Your July-born baby's soul chose you because you needed them more than they needed you. Let them help and guide you instead of fighting so hard against their lessons.
8.August
YourTango
Children born in August specifically choose parents who struggle with showing their emotions because they have a desire to teach them how to give and receive love.
Child expert Janet Lansbury wrote, "Many of us have the sense that the children in our care chose us. We feel it especially when a child’s needs tap into our weaknesses, we are forced to adjust, and that adjustment makes us change for the better. It is as if their souls zeroed in on us and decided, 'That woman and that man, those future brothers and sisters need lessons I can provide. I’ll help them grow. I’ll be their teacher.'"
That's the exact mindset of an August-born soul. They are purpose driven, which explains why they are the most common birth month of U.S. presidents.
9.September
YourTango
September-born children are often gifted and talented. They may be artists, actors, musicians, singers or dancers, but their parents will need to push them to discover their talents.
These fall babies have souls that specifically chose parents who missed out on their true calling or perhaps even let their talents go to waste by not exploring them fully or pursuing their passions.
Their soul chose you as a parent because they know that you won't let them repeat your own mistakes.
10.October
YourTango
October souls often choose parents who have financial prowess but haven't realized it yet. Their soul's purpose is to help their parents realize that nothing is impossible and to always strive for greatness.
October babies are inspirational, but in putting their energy toward their loved ones' potential, they can sometimes neglect their own self-worth.
Parents of these fall babies must remember that even though they don't always seem like they need to be encouraged and praised, they need it most of all.
11.November
YourTango
November babies thrive in struggle, so they will often choose parents and a life that isn't easy. These souls grow into the most resilient adults and it's no wonder, November babies are the rarest!
Facing adversity is a part of life, and how November-born children navigate these tough moments shapes their ability to handle future challenges.
Support during these times teaches them problem-solving skills, how to manage stress, and how to bounce back from setbacks. November-born children can guide you toward a greater appreciation for life’s fleeting moments, encouraging you to live authentically and meaningfully.
12.December
YourTango
December souls often choose parents who struggle to navigate family drama. Their purpose in choosing you as parents will be to show you that both freedom and structure are necessary for a fulfilling life. Together, these energies help you find the balance between enjoying life’s adventures and taking responsibility for your actions.
That sense of freedom can sometimes lead to isolation if left unchecked, so it's imperative that parents of December babies show them the importance of community, even if not by birth.
Their need for freedom can make them easily frustrated with others, which is why their soul chose you as a parent because they knew you would be patient and loving no matter how hard they pushed you away sometimes.
