In Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell points out kids born just after the cutoff date for school (and are thus a year older than their peers) do better in sports and school. They’re not better, they just have an extra year of development.

ive had this thought before, because with school systems, some kids are bound to always be the oldest in their group or youngest, what kind of effects does that have on a kid overtime?

Also people grow up knowing their zodiac signs and unconsciously associate with attributes of those signs. Astrology is kind of real because we make it real.

yea the physical climate alone has so much influence over our lives that's probably playing a large part too

Like social conditioning from having your birthday near Christmas will have some effects and those might be similar among people and explain potential population trends.

You’re not far off from what I’ve learned about astrology honestly. There’s the surface level astrology that gets rightfully knocked (oh that’s so Virgo… what a Gemini… etc) (cont)

That’s the difference between astrology and horoscopes. Astrology is pattern recognition over time and a reflection of that math. Horoscopes are “feels” and or predictions based on little to no data about the person or pattern.

Yeah it makes sense there would be a correlation. But the cause isn’t the stars. Makes total sense.

ain’t that just taking a different road to get to astrology? like even if you don’t consider star placements, they’re still a necessary factor to the time of year

Astrology is just recognizing similarities people have based on where and when they were born.

You're describing psychology lol I don't even think you're wrong about birthdays, it's just not going to be true across all time. If you make what you're saying more specific, you could say that shared experiences probably statistically affect many people in similar ways. So, being born at the same time in the same year could probably influence you in a similar way to another.

I kinda based it on the personalities of the parents when they decided to procreate. Intoxicated parents on New Years Eve would explain Virgos.

I loved having a June bday as a kid. It was warm and stayed light until 10pm. The gap between Christmas and June felt even, so I’d get the big games from the first half of the year for my bday and the second half at Xmas.
My mum was born on January 1st, so she basically got one set of presents split across a week. Everyone was usually hungover, it’d be freezing, dark by 4pm, and the start of the worst month. I can see how growing up with those two birthday vibes could shaped you differently 😂

i also think people grow up hearing "oh that's such a Capricorn trait you have" and eventually internalize them

sounds more like sociology than astrology, and the former is obviously more scientific than the latter.

as someone with a birthday between christmas and new years, i agree with this wholeheartedly.
i believe i expect different treatment than someone with a summer birthday. not necessarily better or worse expectations, just different

Same thing with certain sports. If you happen to be entering with a cohort and you’re older and more developed. You get more attention in that sport and end up playing more because you do the best in that group. I think they did a study on hockey players and their birthdays.
