About
Astrology
Polls
indicate that approximately one-third of people in North America
believe in astrology, and a higher percentage in many other
countries. Correlations have been found between the times of
year babies are born and certain behaviours, aptitudes, attitudes,
personality traits, and medical conditions, though correlation
does not nessessarily imply causality. It's possible that other
variables (i.e., climate/temperature, culture, socoeconomic
status, etc.) that can affect personality and lifestyle choices
may also affect the distribution of births, influencing these
results. In a large-scale study, Gunter
Sachs found correlations between sun signs and a number
of variables, including marriage and divorce statistics. However,
his methodology has been criticized for not taking certain potential
confounding variables into account.
It's
possible that there is something to astrology in the sense that
birth times do have an effect in and of themselves, but it may
be quite different from what has been traditionally believed
and/or stem from other variables such as temperature impact
on the developing fetus rather than the effects of planets.
Dietary fluctuations and winter infections may also play a role.
Astrologers
believe that sun signs are only a tiny piece of the puzzle.
Proper natal charts are far more complex, including all planetary
placements, aspects, and many other factors. Sun sign personality
articles, which are interesting but highly generalized, should
be read for entertainment purposes only, or as a jumping point
to further inquiry into the subject. I provide them because
there is a high demand, but I recommend that those with an interest
in astrology delve into all the literature and look at their
full natal charts (with sun, moon, rising sign, and aspects),
which can be calculated for free at Astrodient
by entering time, date, and place of birth.

studies of time-of-year effects.
