You probably haven’t given much thought to what time of day you were born. But the time you enter the world may have an impact on your personality later in life.
Born At Night? You Might Have A Little Night Owl
If your baby arrived in the wee hours of the morning, you may notice some distinct personality quirks with them. Night babies tend to be more persistent, with higher activity levels and increased irritability compared to babies born during the day. That extra fussiness could stem from disrupted circadian rhythms, or internal body clocks, during those crucial prenatal months while they were developing in the womb.
It’s like they were born ready to party all night! Studies have shown that night-born infants demonstrate elevated levels of testosterone in their early months. This could contribute to them having bolder, more intense temperaments. As parents, you might spot this intensity through their demanding cries for attention or a feisty spirit that really keeps you on your toes.
There could be a spiritual connection as well. Since the moon and night are closely tied to spirituality and all things mystical in many beliefs, night babies may have a deeper interest in those types of concepts. They could be more drawn to astrology or open to exploring spirituality in general, as opposed to babies who were born in the morning or daylight hours.
Early Birds Born In The A.M.
In contrast, babies born in the morning often exhibit calmer, more easygoing personalities right from the start. With minimal disruption to their developing biological clocks, they seem to find their groove quickly. You may notice these bright-eyed AM arrivals are more adaptable and better able to self-soothe.
Their cheerful, cooperative dispositions could result from increased exposure to daylight — and its mood-boosting effects — during those final weeks in utero. So, while night owls demand the spotlight, these early birds appear more content to go with the flow.
Day babies also tend to be more work-oriented and logical thinkers. They really do like to see it to believe it. Spirituality may interest them but logic is their middle name. They have a practical side and want proof before fully committing to an idea.
Astro Influences On Birth Time
There’s an age-old belief that the time of birth can influence a baby’s personality and life path, according to astrology. The cosmic positions of planets, stars and celestial bodies at the precise moment you entered this world are said to leave an imprint.
So, do babies born during the day differ from those born at night? Let’s see what astrologers have to say about the “day vs night baby” personalities.
Day Babies – Outgoing & Energetic
If you arrived while the sun was shining bright, astrologers believe you were blessed with a sunny, positive disposition. Day babies are thought to be:
- More extroverted and socially confident
- Energetic go-getters with drive
- Open to trying new experiences
- Drawn to being in the spotlight
Night Babies – Introspective & Private
On the other hand, those born under starry night skies are seen as having a more inward, mystical nature. Night baby traits include:
- Being introspective and private
- Having high sensitivity and intuition
- Tending towards moodiness or melancholy
- Possessing strong imaginations and creativity
Balancing The Yin & Yang
Of course, these are just general archetypes based on ancient astrological principles. A person’s overall natal chart with precise planet placements plays a bigger role.
Many believe day and night babies actually complement each other – one being the extroverted “yang” energy and the other the introspective “yin.”
When you meet someone, you vibe not just because your zodiac signs are supposed to be a good match or your charts have good angles between them. It also helps if one of you was born at night and the other during the day.
Night or Day? Doesn’t Matter!
Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl really starts when we’re just babies. Your personality is made up of a lot of different things as you grow up, but some research gives us a little look into those first newborn days. If you like waking up with the sunrise or staying up late and having fun, just remember that different schedules have their positives. What really matters is finding a routine that makes you feel good and lets you be the best you can be.
