Some people seem too good to be human. Any experience with them, even a fleeting moment of eye contact as you pass them in the street, feels like a divine encounter.

Such people make for the best friends—if you’re lucky enough for them to fly down from heaven and into your life. You know that you can go to them in your darkest hour, confident that their warm presence will make you feel bathed in sunlight.

Here are four birth months whose kindness, wisdom, and reliability stand out in such stark contrast with human frailties that you keep pinching yourself and wondering if they’re for real.

1. January

With a strength that seems to come from a higher power, January babies have an unyielding determination and resilience. There’s something effortless and innate about their character that impels them to do the greatest amount of good while taking the least amount of credit for it. Sunshine radiates from their genuine smiles, while their elegant spirit inspires those around them. They will treat you so well that if you ever think of hurting or betraying them, you’ll find no way of justifying it. That’s why you should never be mean to an angel—you’ll only be hurting yourself.

2. February

Those born in February, despite their quiet and stoic demeanor, seek lasting global improvement. They’re likely to perform acts of kindness anonymously. They inspire and uplift those around them. They lead by example, fostering trust and hope. Like angels, February souls are compassionate and strive for a better world. Committed to social justice, they aim to create positive change. Much like angels bring wisdom, February babies inspire with their progressive thinking.

3. October

Guided by justice, the criticism of October babies is always fair and balanced, never intended to wound but to enlighten. They hold an air of quiet strength, a palpable sense of wisdom that calms the storm within. The peaceful serenity they radiate draws you in, a quiet haven where you feel safe to confess your deepest fears and vulnerabilities, knowing they will listen with understanding and hold your secrets close. They are the person you can call at 3 AM, knowing that their words will be a beacon of calm in your storm of anxiety. It’s almost as if an angel, with a single breath, created their gentle soul.

4. December

December babies are rarely angry or temperamental—their fire is the kind that warms the heart and lights the darkness. They are cocooned in an invisible force field of wisdom that deflects bad energy and negative karma. Their generosity flows freely, unburdened by any need for repayment. They will almost take offense if you try to pay them back. You may find it hard to understand how someone can be so good because, well, you are a mere mortal who hasn’t been touched by an angel.
