February babies are full of charisma, charm and creativity - it’s no wonder why so many of them are destined for a future in the spotlight! With amethyst for a birth stone and violets and primroses as birth flowers, there’s also a good chance that purple just might be one of their favorite colors when they get a little older.
Zodiac Signs:
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
Aquarians are known for being creative, witty, charming, independent, adaptable, open-minded, and visionary.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Pisces have a reputation for being sensitive, compassionate, intuitive, generous, creative, empathetic, imaginative, and emotionally intelligent.
Birthstone:
Amethyst is a beautiful purple quartz that can be found all around the world. It’s been worn by members of different cultures throughout history as a measure of protection. Your February baby may not use it to ward of drunkenness, like the Greeks, or for protection in battle, like the medieval Europeans, but it’s a stone they’ll be proud to wear all the same.
Birth Flower:
It probably won’t come as a shock that the name violet is in reference to the flower’s purple color. You may be surprised to learn that violets were used in love potions by the Ancient Greeks, since the flower was a symbol of fertility and love. Who decided that roses would be the mascot for Valentine’s Day, anyway?
