The '70s Song That Mirrors You, Based on Birth Month

Which 1970s Hit Song Is Your Vibe, Based on Your Birth Month

Each birth month is listed below. Disregard your birth date .

January: "Rocket Man" by Elton John

If you were born during the first month of the year, the sun was moving through hardworking, pragmatic Capricorn or future-minded, humanitarian Aquarius . Both signs call Saturn , the planet of industriousness and commitment, their ruling planet, and in turn, they're both willing — in their own unique ways — to put their nose to the grindstone to achieve and make real even their wildest, most fantastical dreams and aspirations. That MO reflects the intriguing inspiration behind John's 1972 hit, which songwriter Bernie Taupin said was a story by Ray Bradbury, "which was about how astronauts in the future would become sort of an everyday job."

February: "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac

If you were born when the sun was spending time in either contrarian, rebellious Aquarius or artistic, unique Pisces , you take pride in marching to the beat of your own drum. Though connecting with others is a priority for you, you're also unashamed to strike out on your own when the moment calls for it, which is the message behind Fleetwood Mac's epic track which served as the lead single from their still chart-topping album Rumours .

March: "Hot Stuff" by Donna Summer

If you were born in March , the sun was either in creative, idealistic Pisces or go-getter, fiery, dynamic Aries , which makes you someone who knows your heart and is unafraid to go after exactly what you want. That point of view is showcased in late Queen of Disco Donna Summer 's 1979 hit, which was the first single off of her Bad Girls album and stayed at no. 1 for three weeks on the U.S. singles chart. It also won Summer the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance the first year it was given out. And winning — especially for passion-stoked artistic pursuits — is very March-birthday-coded. 

April: "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon

If you came into the world in this solidly springtime month, the sun was moving through either playful, go-getter Aries or down-to-earth, sensual Taurus . You're not exactly one to have the wool pulled over your eyes. In fact, you're pretty much a pro at telling it like it is, because you're fairly no-nonsense, much like the tone of Carly Simon's November 1972 single, which was inspired by three men, one of whom Simon has admitted was Warren Beatty. The track reached No. 1 in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in early 1973 and went down in history as a "feminist breakup anthem," which mirrors the fierce, Mars- and Venus-ruled vibes of people born in April .

May: "Sir Duke" by Stevie Wonder

If you celebrate your birthday in May, the sun was moving through grounded, steady Taurus or curious Gemini , and you came into the world during a truly social, buzzy, lively, and often joy-filled time of year. This tribute to jazz musicians like Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and Count Basie, made it to the top of the charts in 1977 and celebrates the universality of music and joy. Given that your sun sign is ruled either by art-loving Venus or communication-fueling Mercury , this fun-loving track is right in line with your vibe. 

June: "Silly Love Songs" by Wings

You were born with your sun in fun-loving Gemini or sentimental, sweet Cancer, which speaks to the fact that you believe in following your heart and cherishing the ones you love the most. Paul McCartney, who has a super-stellium in Gemini and Jupiter in Cancer, wrote "Silly Little Love Songs" for the love of his life, Linda, and released it in 1976 as the lead single off Wings' fifth album Wingsat the Speed of Sound . "The fact is, deep down, people are very sentimental," McCartney said of the track — and he should know as a June-born person himself.  

July: "Hotel California" by The Eagles

Born when sun was in sweet, caregiving Cancer or loyal, charismatic Leo, you're someone who wears your heart on your sleeve and has no problem reveling in the moment. Although the meaning of the 1977 Eagles' track is considered a mystery to this day, the beloved tune, which continues to show up in films and music charts, is sensual, moody, and transports you to "a dark desert highway" and invokes other vivid visuals ("Sweet summer sweat/Some dance to remember/Some dance to forget") that mirrors your romantic point of view.

August: "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Diana Ross

Whether you were born when the sun was in dramatic, bold Leo or industrious, cerebral Virgo , you're a planner, a go-getter, and someone who pours their whole self into just about everything you do. That attitude is at the heart of Diana Ross 's 1970 version of the 1966 Motown tune, which became her first solo no. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and ended up earning a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. The powerful message and thoughtful, delicate vocals are in sync with how you move through life — and approach love.

September: "Best Of My Love" by The Emotions

Born under either adaptable, romantic Virgo or partnership-oriented, visionary Libra , being in love and caring for the person who you adore the most is a top life priority for you. You also tend to have an effervescent, social, fun-loving spirit — something you can undoubtedly feel coming through in The Emotions' 1977 lead single from their album Rejoice , which topped both the US Billboard Hot 100 and US Billboard R&B charts. A total classic, which only recently got resurrected as a sample in "Lil Boo Thang" by Paul Russell, celebrates what it means to go "in and out of changes" and still be able to share the best of your love — something you're intimately familiar with. 

October: "Shadow Dancing" by Andy Gibb

During your birth month, the sun moves through dynamic duo-forging, balance-seeking Libra and powerful, intimacy-loving Scorpio , which makes you someone who is no stranger to putting yourself out there with a lover and devoting yourself to building your bond. Andy Gibb's 1978 smash, which stayed at no. 1 for seven weeks and became Billboard magazine's #1 single of the entire year, speaks to the power of reveling in the moment with someone you adore and craving the "sweet sensation" of living in their love, which is a feeling you'd gladly center your whole world around.

November: "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor

Whether you were born under transformation-seeking, fearless Scorpio or joyful, unfiltered Sagittarius , you are a lifelong fighter who won't back down when you're pursuing your passions. You're also self-possessed, strong, and in tune with your heart — all qualities that are mirrored by Gloria Gaynor's 1978 hit. Released in October 1978, the disco staple received heavy airplay in 1979 and became a moving, time-honored anthem of resilience that notably resonated with the LGBTQ+ community and others who've been oppressed or marginalized. It's an enduring ode to self-empowerment and thriving, something you can absolutely get behind.  

December: "Let It Be" by The Beatles

Born with your sun in either philosophical Sagittarius or practical Capricorn, you're spiritually aware, goal-oriented, and enlightened. These traits are highlighted in the Paul McCartney-penned title track of The Beatles' album Let It Be , which was released in March 1970. The soft, introspective guitar solo from the single version of the song, produced by George Martin, and the centering lyrics ("And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me") echo your ability to quietly center yourself, move forward, and tap into your inner wisdom, no matter the challenges you face in a given moment.
