May Zodiac Sign

May babies are either Taurus or Gemini.

Taurus, ruled by Venus, the planet that controls beauty, is connected with exquisite taste! They enjoy the little pleasures of life and are not afraid to indulge. Taurus is considered loyal and creates fiery, dedicated buddies. They are stable, patient, and confident; nevertheless, they may also be stubborn and set in their ways. 

Gemini is the most adaptable of the zodiac signs. The sign is governed by Mercury and is recognized for quick wit, an aptitude for communication, and an extroverted personality. This means you may be raising a social butterfly. Yet, Gemini's imagination may also make them easily sidetracked.

Luck is on their Side

Kids born in May are more likely to be fortunate. According to a survey conducted in the United Kingdom, May is the luckiest month. That means, you should teach your kids about lottery tickets, prize drawings, and casinos. But only when they turn 21, of course.

Emerald Birthstone

May's birthstone is the emerald, a vividly green gemstone. Emeralds are one of the rarest gemstones in the world, and they represent rebirth and love. In addition, they look quite gorgeous if encased in a yellow-gold ring.

Smaller Child

Those born in May are smaller! According to statistics, infants born in May often have the lowest birth weights.

Reduced Eczema

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the medical word for eczema, an itchy, scaly rash that may form anywhere on the skin and often manifests in infancy. It can be treated with lotions and ointments but is prone to unpleasant flare-ups.

Babies born in May may have a decreased risk of developing atopic dermatitis than those in December, according to research published in the medical journal Allergy. They have examined over 31,237 AD cases to make this conclusion.

Generally More Healthy 

When Columbia University scientists examined the relationship between birth season and health, they discovered that kids born in May had the lowest illness risk! Furthermore, the author of the research also stated that the danger caused by birth month is minor compared to other variables such as diet and exercise. Thus, May newborns must continue to take care of themselves.

Benefits of a May Baby

In the month of May, there are more hours of daylight. Since the days are longer than at other times of the year, babies born in May are more likely to be happy and upbeat than those born in other seasons. 

Babies born in May are characterized as being more idealistic, organized, or intellectual. This will be very beneficial while establishing specific careers as adults.

And lastly, being born in May predisposes individuals to be more daring and risk-taking as adults.

If we examine the horoscopes, we will discover that kids born between April 21 and May 20 fall under the sign of Taurus. Those born under this sign are known for their patience, practicality, and aptitude for resolution. It is also one of the most dependable indications in both the realms of love and friendship.

In contrast, those born between 21 May and 21 June belong to the sign of Gemini, which is primarily defined by logic and reason. Hence, Gemini kids will be brilliant and perceptive individuals with a strong sense of humor and boundless enthusiasm. In addition, they are notable for their superior communication abilities.
