The 5 Most Successful Birth Months, Backed by Experts

According to Brown, one of the core reasons Capricorns (those born between December 22-January 19) are so successful is simply due to their tenacity and grit. "The perfect Capricorn motto would be, “dreams don’t work unless you do,” and there likely isn’t a harder-working sign in the zodiac," Browns tells Good Housekeeping. "This work ethic can certainly apply to the late December capricorns but it seems particularly inherent to those individuals born in January."

Some famous and successful individuals born in January include Dr. Martin Luther King, Dolly Parton, Kate Middleton, Michelle Obama and Benjamin Franklin.

Additionally, many January babies end up business owners or high level c-suite executives who shine in whatever career, according to Schott.

Those born in March, according to Brown, especially later in the month who can be classified as Aries (born between March 21 to April 19), are no shrinking violets. "They have the courage, passion, and intensity it takes to be real reckoners for change, leadership, and decision-making," Brown says. "They are known to be somewhat hot-headed, but they have boundless energy, enthusiasm, and belief in their ideas, themselves, and what they’ve set out to achieve."

Additionally, Brown points out that March is a particularly powerful time in the zodiac wheel of the year, as March 21 (the start of Aries season and the start of spring equinox in the northern hemisphere) is considered the first day of the zodiac year, so there’s a lot of exciting, blossoming energy associated with March and Aries.

Some familiar faces you may recognize who are Aries include Reese Witherspoon, Jonathan Van Ness and Vincent Van Gogh.

According to Schott, August is one of the most successful birth months in terms of fame and career. "Many babies born July 23-August 22 (when the Sun is in Leo) find fame, recognition, and career achievement," she says. "Leo is the leader of the zodiac and these children are often naturally talented in singing, playing an instrument and have artistic abilities."

Many grow up to pursue careers in entertainment, acting, musical theatre, and dancing. Some examples of August babies in the media include Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, President Obama and Bill Clinton to name a few.

Those babies born between August 23 to September 22 are considered Virgos and known for their ability to see possibility in anything and typically have the work ethic to make that vision a reality, according to Brown.

"In my opinion, that penchant for seeing the possibility of perfection drives many Virgos to be among the most beautiful and stylish in the zodiac," she explains. "While they can sometimes err on the side of perfectionism, which can be a personal challenge, all that ability to see possibility leads them to be structured, organized, and very efficient at establishing the routines and habits necessary to achieve success."
