While some people won’t remember your birthday even if they write it on their hand, others simply can’t forget it. Their ability to remember birthdays is baked into who they are as a person, and it’s why they’re always going to show up with cake, presents, and texts on your special day.

The ability to remember birthdays comes naturally to certain zodiac signs, and it has a lot to do with what they value. For the relationship-oriented signs, birthdays are the perfect moment to shower friends, partners, and family members with love and attention.

The emotional zodiac signs also top the list because they know what birthdays stand for. It’s a time to celebrate, reminisce, and reconnect, and how could they ever forget that? They know that even a simple “happy birthday!” text can mean so much.

Other signs have amazing memories, and it’s as simple as that. While they like birthdays and love celebrating their friends, memorizing other people’s birthdays is as easy as remembering their own. Once those numbers are logged in their brain, they’ll stay there for literal decades.

Here, the three zodiac signs who will always send you a birthday text.

Tauruses love everything about birthdays. As an earth sign, they’re obsessed with the tangible aspects of your special day, and that means they won’t miss an excuse to shower you with treats.

If you’re seeing them IRL, they’ll arrive with flowers, balloons, and the most thoughtful gift, even if they insisted they wouldn’t do anything major. If they’re far away, expect the cutest voice message ever. As a sign ruled by Venus, the planet of love, a Taurus will count down the days to your birthday and make sure you feel extra special. Some might even make a big deal all week long.

Taurus is also one of the most steady and consistent signs of the zodiac, and that’s why you can always trust them to remember important dates. They value loyalty, connection, and ritual, and they hate the idea of letting it die. If they’ve wished you a “happy birthday!” for the past 20 years, they aren’t going to stop now.

As a sign ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, Virgos never slip when it comes to sending a birthday text. It doesn’t matter if you’re best friends or only talk once a year. They’re 100% going to send you a message.

Every January, a Virgo will sit down and mark every birthday they know in their calendar. If they don’t know yours, they’ll text you and ask.

As an earth sign, they take organization seriously and want to make sure they aren’t forgetting anyone. That said, many Virgos have an iron-clad memory and can remember the date without referencing their calendar.

Even if a Virgo is super busy — which they almost always are — they’ll still take time out of their day to FaceTime, write a comment on Instagram, or send you a sweet text.

Libra (Sept. 22 - Oct. 21)

Nothing makes a Libra happier than seeing another person happy, and that’s especially true for their friends. Your birthday is essentially their birthday, so you can trust they’re never going to forget.

Birthdays are the perfect excuse for them to check in with old friends, too. They’ll reach out to college roommates, childhood neighbors, and even exes to say hi. For Libra, no relationship is ever truly over, especially when a birthday is on the horizon.

This air sign is also represented by the scales, which means they understand the give-and-take nature of relationships. If you always wish them a happy birthday, they’re going to return the favor to make sure you have a balanced connection.

Of course, as another sign ruled by Venus, Libras also love celebrations and are always looking for an excuse to get together with friends. Not only will they remember your birthday, but there’s a good chance they’ll throw you a surprise party.

Scorpio (Oct. 22 - Nov. 20)

No birthday will ever be forgotten on a Scorpio’s watch. Not only will they remember your birth date, but also your birth time and place — likely because at one point they wanted to look up your Big Three. Once they have that sacred info, they’ll keep it tucked away forever.

This intuitive water sign can also pick up on other people’s emotions. They know it’s the little things that mean the most, like waking up to a text filled with balloon emojis, and want to be the person to send that message and make you feel special.

For this Pluto-ruled sign, a birthday isn’t just another day of the week, but a chance to deepen your connection as friends and celebrate another circle around the sun. They’ll likely bring up stories or share old photos as a way to reminisce. They’re extremely loyal, and being there on your birthday is one way they show it.
