The only independent variable is the date and time of birth. The position of planets and their movements are highly correlated to this variable and won't provide any additional information. And yes, there has been plenty of research on the impact of the birth month, and the time of birth within given day, on a person's development through life.

Similarly, there is evidence and research which demonstrates the evidence that someone's name has pre-determined effects on that persons life; especially in the case of their career or what they are known for. Most surprisingly, even on the account that the individual didn't realize it until being told what their name meant!

  I feel like this is much more likely a correlation than a causation. if your name is some middle to upper class fare like Alfie or Penelope, then I can mystically predict you an financially comfortable life from here on in. however, if your name is Deniqua or or Tyler, well my crystal balls have bad news for you

    You'd think it's a correlation rather than causation but the research looking into it finds it to be probabilistically much more than a correlation, especially concerning the fact that individuals have been shown to be unaware of the nature of their name and their career path. It's an interesting study. It has a lot more to do with the surname or what acts as the surname, as various cultures have it in different places.

> The only independent variable is the date and time of birth. Minor nuance. Just sharing this for awareness, not endorsing its validity: When indian astrologers plot a "star chart" / "kundli" / "raasi chakram" of a person -- it is quite literally a snapshot or plot of all major "planets" against the constellations. And this snapshot depends rather precisely on the PLACE of birth as well. (not just the time) The latitude and longitude of the place of birth are starting input variables. There are almanacs and pretty detailed tables of star positions by date and hour, published for use by practitioners, that are used to lookup. The sunrise, sunset times for that place obviously differ by lat/long. And similarly since the "positions" of planets are measured not in absolute terms but against the backdrop of constellations -- so the place of birth also determines for example whether Mars is in Constellation A or whether Jupiter is on the cusp of Constellation B & C. For example you can skim through this book's pages -- that show lat/long and timezone info for places worldwide: https://www.exoticindiaart.com/book/details/ascendant-astrological-tables-ubh655/ https://www.exoticindiaart.com/book/details/ascendant-astrol... These tables go quite deep into accounting for drift of lunar year versus solar year, apparent retrograde motion of planets, precession of axes and correcting for them, etc. The attempt to gather so much data and attempt to do a correlation analysis / modelling on that is fairly ambitious and worthy of acknowledgement IMO.
