7 Fascinating Facts About March Babies

They say March rolls in like a lion and out like a lamb—so will your March baby be a tranquil little sheep…or will they roar their way to king-of-the-jungle status? Read on to find out a few interesting tidbits about your March babe-to-be.

Here are 7 fun facts about your March baby:

Your March baby’s zodiac sign will be Pisces or Aries.

No matter if your baby's temperament resembles lion or lamb, your baby is destined to be a fish or a ram…at least when it comes to their zodiac sign! March babies who arrive before March 21st will be Pisces, a sign associated with compassion and creativity. Little ones who are born March 21st or later will be Aries, a sign thought to be passionate, motivated, and energetic.

March babies have two birthstones.

March’s traditional birthstone is the frosty aquamarine, which according to superstition, helped keep mariners safe at sea. But if the blue-green sparkler does not suit your March baby, they have an alternative to choose from: The deep green and red-flecked bloodstone. According to lore, Ancient Egyptians believed the bloodstone gave them an advantage over their enemies in battle.

Your March baby’s birth flower is a daffodil.

Nothing says 'spring' like cheerful daffodil buds emerging from the hard, frost-bitten ground. Likewise, your March baby’s birth flower, the daffodil, represents joy, sunshine, and friendship. Basically a mood-booster in flower form! Speaking of mood-boosters…

Your March baby may have a sunny disposition.

A European study found that people with a tendency to be excessively positive were more likely to be born in spring or summer than in other months. According to the lead researcher, this could be because birth season may affect certain mood influencing neurotransmitters. Of course, spring does not officially start until the end of March—fortunately, the same study had just as promising findings about winter babies (they tend to be less irritable than those born during the rest of the year!).
