We’ve pretty much completely discounted astrology as having any meaningful impact on a person’s personality. But what about the seasons of the year, and the weather that comes with them? The stars position in the sky are an indication of the seasons on earth. Right? Wouldn’t a baby that is born into a world of sunshine and warmth have a different early development than one born into the cold and darkness of winter? Has any research been done on the impacts of a baby’s environmental conditions on their personality?
A child born into winter will experience summer soon enough unless something bad happens. I’m certainly not an expert on babies and their development, but I’d think it matters little. A more interesting topic might be the pregnancy - fetal development sets the course for the next few years or even decades, I’m thinking about epigenetic imprinting. That would certainly have an influence, but since we do not have mating seasons (well, spring and december maybe) I’d wager the impact is comparably low.
Being born in the winter is a risk factor for schizophrenia. Kids born closer to the end of their school year are more likely to be diagnosed with learning disabilities early in life since in preschool/kindergarten a few months are still significant in terms of development
That first point seems to indicate that there is a correlation between the weather and personality for babies.
You may be interested in a Epigenetics It’s a scientific field that studies environmental influence among other things.
Maybe but there are tons of other factors too and honestly we don’t know yet. But the astrologers neither… So no, no connection with astrology which is just a guesswork.
The thing is that the signs should now include a 13th to account for the procession. The whole thing is bs to me.
Interesting. So you’re saying that we’d need to add a new sign because there is a constellation in the sky today that wasn’t visible 5000 years ago? That’s pretty neat if I understand it correctly.
In case my question wasn’t clear, I was only asking about the impact of the weather when a baby is born, and not about astrology. The only link to astrology is that the star positions change throughout the year.
