According to Carl Sagan, (a relatively reliable source) since the original definitive zodiac was defined, the sun-signs have shifted a full house! In other words, don't believe this "if you were born in October, you're a Scorpio" bullcrap. But, as Sagan says, the astrologers haven't seemed to notice. On to other matters. I believe that the first few months of an infant's life are crucial in the development of the personality of the individual. Therefore, the SEASON you were born in probably has an influence on your personality. Notice that I say influence. This is not the major factor. However, It should be possible with the modern techniques (i.e. computers and all that) to devise a psychological profile questionnaire to attempt to SCIENTIFICALLY determine how much of an influence your season of birth affects you. I would assume I'd need to find a good psychologist to help me set up the questionnaire. I think I could handle the computation and statistical analysis. Any volunteers? This looks like it could be an idea for a best-selling non-fiction novel! (PLEASE NOTE: I am serious about this.
