When summertime days morph from light, breezy, sparkly, and beachy to sticky, humid, and exhausting, it’s easy to daydream about brisker days. Whether you’re sipping pumpkin spice lattes in your favorite sweater, decorating your home for spooky season, or enjoying the shift into a time of year when the veil between the concrete world and the spiritual realm feels thinner than ever, autumn has a lot to offer.
But for some of us, this time of year supercharges success, motivation, and happiness. If you were born on one of the following birth dates, you might embrace fall’s gifts more than others.
4 Birth Dates Who Can’t Wait for Fall
Read on to learn about which birth dates are set for an especially rewarding autumn.
Born on the 5th, 14th, or 23rd: You’re Primed for Satisfying Introspection and Blasts from the Past
Because you were born on a day that reduces down to the number five, your numerological planetary ruler is Mercury, the planet of technology, transportation, storytelling, and cerebral energy. The fall equinox ushers in an especially social season, replete with opportunities to meet up for back-to-school get-togethers, block parties, football games, and family festivities, and in that way, this season speaks directly to your soul. And this year, Mercury will be retrograde from October 24 to November 13, in Scorpio, encouraging a slowdown that might be especially soothing, given your typically high mental energy.
Born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th: You’ll Enjoy Continued Expansion and Abundance
Born on a date associated with Jupiter, the planet of luck, spiritual growth, and optimism, you love the go-big-or-go-home vibes that spicy, spooky autumn delivers on an annual basis. You’re elated by the opportunity to decorate your home to the nines with in season flowers, foliage, and Halloween details or to host your nearest and dearest for delicious, comfort food-packed spreads. What’s more, as your ruling planet moves through dynamic, action-oriented, charismatic Leo this year, you may be even more inspired than usual to be the life of the party and own the spotlight.
Born on the 6th, 15th, or 24th: This Season Brings a Burst of Beauty and Harmony
If you were born on one of these dates, which is associated with Venus, the planet of pleasure, relationships, beauty, art, diplomacy, and romance, you revel in the fact that fall—especially Venus-ruled Libra season—is wired for connection. Nicknamed cuffing season for a reason, it’s a time of year when you pour even more of yourself into your one-on-one relationships, whimsical date nights, or heartfelt catch-ups with your best friend. And as Venus goes retrograde this year in partnership- and intimacy-oriented signs Scorpio and Libra, you’ll have the chance to go inward and reflect on what you need the most within your closest bonds.
Born on the 9th, 18th, or 27th: You’ll Fulfill Your Most Passionate Desires
If your birth date reduces down to nine, you’re action-oriented, impulsive, dynamic, and fiery, thanks to the day you were born being associated with Mars, the planet of action and energy. Fall might not be the hottest season, but it’s certainly a motivational moment. After squeezing in some summertime rest and relaxation, we’re more apt to get back to work and to push toward the finish line on goals ahead of the end of the year—a vibe that’s greatly informed by your ruling planet. And this year, the go-getter planet will be moving forward in proud, charismatic Leo from September 27 to November 25 and industrious Virgo for the rest of the fall, making it even more possible to turn your most whimsical aspirations into a concrete reality.
