Why June babies are SMARTER and MORE POSITIVE than everyone else!
Woo-hoo!
Whether you're a June-born bub yourself or your due date lands somewhere during this month, it's time to celebrate! According to science, babies born in June have a lot of positive attributes.
1 They're most likely to win a Nobel prize
While June babies are sometimes believed to be at a disadvantage academically because they’re usually the youngest in their class, it hasn't held back a lot of Nobel prize winners. Although the findings were not published in a scientific journal, preliminary data suggests a spike in Nobel Laureates with June birthdays.
2 They have two very special birthstones
June babies are the fortunate recipients of not one, but two different birthstones. They can choose either pearl or alexandrite, or both. Pearls are said to symbolise purity, generosity and integrity, and promote cheerfulness, security and protection. Alexandrite helps restore balance, inspires hope and promotes joy and positivity.
3 June babies are extra lucky
A study was conducted in 2004 to determine how lucky babies were in relation to the month they were born, and it turns out children born in the month of June tend to be the luckiest of the lot.
4 They have lots of energy and are enthusiastic about life
Babies born between June 1 and June 21 are Gemini, and typical characteristics of this air sign include high energy levels and a thirst for new things. Geminis are typically good communications and learn fast. If your little one is a Gemini, he or she may need new activities or hobbies to keep them engaged at school and at home. Babies born after June 21 fall under the sign of Cancer, and are maternal, domestic and love to nurture others. Famous Cancerians include Ariana Grande, Tom Cruise and Brian May.
5 They may be destined for politics or the big screen
Famous June babies include former American President John F. Kennedy and South African political leader Nelson Mandela. Actresses Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Portman, Mark Wahlberg, Liam Neeson, Angelina Jolie and Judy Garland were also born in June.
