The "star signs" thing probably has a kernel of truth to it. Someone born in winter will have a different early life to someone born in summer. In a modern context this carries through to schooling: they'll either be older or younger than their year-group peers.

- robocat 2y agoThere's a natural control group: population of Southern Hemisphere versus Northern Hemisphere. Anecdotally (living in the Southern Hemisphere) I have yet to hear a starsign beleiver here suggest we behave like our 180° different sign.
- HPsquared 2y agoTrue, but the world population isn't distributed symmetrically: there aren't many living at high latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere. See graph "population by latitude" here: https://www.statsmapsnpix.com/2021/11/world-population-by-latitude.html https://www.statsmapsnpix.com/2021/11/world-population-by-la... There are quite a few people living North of 45°N, but hardly any South of 45°S.
