And the moon sinks low in Scorpio

ventaThis is something I've been meaning to experiment with for ages, but never got round to. I've just been reminded of it, because someone posted on a thread elsewhere with the assumption that "birthdays are randomly distributed" - which I've always assumed they're not. For a start, there's always a bit of a clump of birthdays round February/March, which I've always blamed on people having early summer holidays in June.
Now, I'm assuming that unlike, say, musical taste, incidence of birthdays among my friends list will at least be representative of the population as a whole. If not, then we're into the suggestion that being born in a particular month predisposes you to particular behaviours and that smacks of astrology, so I don't like it.
(Yes, I know there are other non-astrological factors which might be relevant, but let's give it a whirl, shall we?)
You're getting no tickyboxes for this, dammit, it's radio or nothing. I refuse to allow people to be born in more than one month.

Date: 2005-01-26 11:38 am (UTC)September= An excess of festive cheer leading to a higher incidence of people getting cavalier or thinking , "What the heck!". Anything involving 'Once a year under the Christmas tree' is not to be countenanced. Also parents who worry excessively about their kids being the eldest in the year.
June to August = Nice parents who will let you have good birthday parties as a child instead of strange, eldritch ones, hiding in the house from the British weather.
Autumn = Your parents didn't used to watch telly. Not even in the cold Winter months.
Sorted!
