Hello, happy June babies! Being born in the month of the summer solstice seems to have quite an impact, as June babies tend to be happy, imaginative, curious, and tall! In case that wasn’t enough of a reason for June babies to smile, folks born in this month are also more likely to grow up to win a Nobel Prize than those born in any other!
Zodiac Signs:
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Passionate, adaptable, smart, affectionate and curious.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
Highly imaginative, genuinely compassionate, loyal and sympathetic.
Birthstones:
The pearl is a pretty special and unique birthstone, since it’s the only gem that’s found inside a living creature (although it’s pretty rare to find one in nature these days). According to ancient Chinese folklore, pearls are carried by dragons and represent wisdom and power. In other cultures, they are believed to be a symbol of purity, honesty and wisdom.
Alexandrite is the second birthstone for June, and it's as beautiful as it is pricey. This stone is actually one of the most expensive ones out there, thanks to its color changing appearance. This dazzling gem changes from bluish-green or green in the daytime to red or purple-red in bright light. Alexandrite was first discovered in Russia in 1830 and was named after Alexander II, but it has since been found in Sri Lanka, East Africa and Brazil. Anyone fortunate enough to get their hands on an Alexandrite stone may just have good luck, fortune and love coming their way, according to folklore.
Birth Flower:
Roses come in a variety of shades, each with its own special meaning. The most common symbols of this classic bloom are beauty, devotion and love (surprise!) Roses even carry different meanings depending on how many of them you’re holding onto. While a bouquet symbolizes gratitude, a single rose means, I love you - so no need to break the bank buying a bouquet for your anniversary. Honeysuckle is the second birth flower for the month of June. This flower, which is a favorite for hummingbirds, is also symbolic of love and happiness.
