She Was Born in June

Halfway Child

The longest day is home in the month of June; a day that is the epitome of summer in the north and winter in the south. June offers us the bright sunshine, hot days and rainy seasons. The month is named after Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and the spouse of Jupiter. Is it any wonder so many brides plan for a June wedding? June is a youthful month springing forth children that never grow up.

The Personality:

She is an intellectual, and she is hilarious. She has a quick wit, and she loves to make people laugh. She is free thinking. She is adaptable. She is a communicator. She would do well on the radio. She is youthful and has the need to have fun. She is ruled by quicksilver Mercury, and she is fleet on her feet. She has a need for security. She is overflowing with ideas that she cannot possibly capture. Her mind is active, and she is highly sensitive. She is impatient, temperamental and a procrastinator.

She is quiet and polite. She dreams, and she talks non-stop when she is comfortable. She is reclusive and stubborn. Her debating skills make her a great executive. She is curious and has an abundance of mental energy. She gets bored easily. She is great in real estate or food. She is a great speaker and makes an interesting author.

The sign:

Gemini and Cancer: The twins and the crab.

The Stone:

The June child wants more than one. She claims the pearl, the moonstone and the alexandrite. The pearl denotes purity, modesty and chastity. The pearl is said to enhance integrity. The alexandrite is a chameleon as it turns green in natural light, but an incandescent light will cause it to turn purple. The opulence of a moonstone offers the June child shimmery glamour.

The Flower:

The June baby is represented by the rose. Not just any rose, but ALL the roses. She is happy with pink, red, yellow, white, peach, burgundy and any other color in between. Each color represents something for her. The rose is revered worldwide, and she enjoys all the roses in her month. Even the blue rose represents mystery to her.

The Color:

The green of awaking and the yellow of enthusiasm belong to the June girl.

She Was Born in May

Fertile Minds

Named for the goddess Maia, the month of May is a month of fertility and new birth. Unlike April, which bursts forth, May comes wandering in with gentleness and kindness. May is the month of maturity when things come to pass. May is loaded with holidays, both traditional and new ones that give almost every day on the calendar special significance. Between festivals, feasts, gatherings and celebrations, May is well into spring in the north and pushing autumn in the south. It is the between state of birth and death.

The Personality:

She is anything but weak. She is strong-willed and a bit stubborn. She digs in and stays true to her course. She is motivated beyond most and knows how to achieve her goals. She is extremely mentally agile. She is beautiful and surrounds herself with beautiful things and people. She is attractive to all, and she loves all the attention. She is determined. She is filled with imagination, spirit, creativity and loves the arts and literature. She is very intuitive.

She has the need to travel. She is an explorer and adventurer. She saves all her money, and she is really good in a debate. She is an excellent politician, writer, painter, artist, designer, teacher and banker. Her systematic way of doing things makes her great in any job that requires details.

The sign:

Taurus and Gemini: The bull and the twins.

The Stone:

The May child is given the emerald as her stone. It represents loyalty, memory and faith. The emerald is said to enhance memory. As things are changing, growing and the grass is beginning to green up, it is only natural that the stone of the May babe would also represent those new beginnings.

The Flower:

The Lily of the Valley is the flower that the May child clutches in her fists. It is pure, majestic and represents humility, beauty and sweetness. The scent of the Lily of the Valley is distinct and a favored perfume.

In addition to the Lily of the Valley, the May child claims all the lilies as hers. They are representative of the new earth, and they return every year. These large and showy flowers come in an array of brilliant colors like the May babe.

The Color:

The color green is associated with the May girl, but her personality can call for other earth tones to be her favorite.

She was Born in April

Springing Forth

This beautiful, blooming, budding and exciting month brings new birth to the earth in the Northern Hemisphere and the darkening days of the fall in the Southern Hemisphere. April is sacred to Venus, and Aphrodite, if you prefer the Greek way of telling things. April used to be second before being bumped to fourth by King Numa Pompilius when he added January and February to the beginning of the Roman calendar. Filled with feasts and festivals, this month is exploding with new beginnings and good friends.

The Personality:

She is active and dynamic, as one would expect from an April child. How can she not love all the attention she gets when she bursts into a room? She is dashing and daring. She is confident and social. She is a true people person who is willing to engage others and help them solve their problems. She is generous. She is loving. She is affectionate. She is brave, fearless and assertive. She has a great memory, and she makes a strong leader.

She makes a wonderful diplomat who is very persuasive. She is good with money, and she is extremely patient, as long as she does not let her natural tendency towards insecurity rule her. She is still a Mars child.

The sign: Aries and Taurus: The ram and the bull.

The Stone:

Like the April child, the stone also shines with brilliance. She loves her diamonds. The diamond is a fitting stone for the month of April. As the earth wakes up from a long sleep, the diamond bursts forth from deep within the earth. Every facet of the diamond shines like the new flowers sporting a coat of new spring showers. The diamond reflects inner strength and enhances relationships. Even the word diamond reflects strength as it was derived from the Greek word "adamas", which means hardest metal.

The Flower:

Of course, the flower must, must, must be the daisy! What other flower is offered as a peace offering, expression of love and as an accent in larger bouquets? The center of a daisy is comprised of little tiny flowers, and the flower's name is really Day's Eye. The daisy sleeps at night and opens first thing in the morning, much like the April child bursts into a room.

Of course, the April child insists on claiming the Sweet Pea, too. Maybe for her sweeter days.

The Color:

The color of green for growth and renewal combines with the aqua of discovery and balance make up the April child's color.

With handmade items, often times they are one of a kind items that sell quickly. If you see something mom would like, then you better buy it now before someone else does.
