I don't want to cause confusion - the phrase "guardian deity" is usually used by the game to refer to the deity you select on character creation, separate from the DoB you give them, to provide some extremely minor elemental resistance bonuses flavour. IDK how other people pick their guardian deity, but for me I choose a deity that resonates with the character's beliefs and history, even if they don't strictly worship them. This is unrelated to their DoB.
During the Valentione's event this year, fortune-teller NPCs referred not to your guardian deity in the context of a star sign (like the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding does), but to the deity you were born under. So even though Aghurlal's guardian deity is Byregot (and that's whose symbol showed up on his side during his wedding), the fortune-teller NPC said he was born under Althyk (because his DoB is in December), and therefore that Althyk was the relevant deity for his compatibility with his partner.
The "born under" connections are as follows:
January [1st Astral Moon] - Halone, the Fury - Ice
February [1st Umbral Moon] - Menphina, the Lover - Ice
March [2nd Astral Moon] - Thaliak, the Scholar - Water
April [2nd Umbral Moon] - Nymeia, the Spinner - Water
May [3rd Astral Moon] - Llymlaen, the Navigator - Wind
June [3rd Umbral Moon] - Oschon, the Wanderer - Wind
July [4th Astral Moon] - Byregot, the Builder - Lightning
August [4th Umbral Moon] - Rhalgr, the Destroyer - Lightning
September [5th Astral Moon] - Azeyma, the Warden - Fire
October [5th Umbral Moon] - Nald'thal, the Traders - Fire
November [6th Astral Moon] - Nophica, the Matron - Earth
December [6th Umbral Moon] - Althyk, the Keeper - Earth
I included the elemental aspect because that may or may not connect to the colour of gem the character born in that month is expected to wear? IDK.
