I have once had someone defend the validity of astrology to me based on these kind of birth season dependent patterns

yea but can u imagine if you actually built an astrology system *based on* the birth season dependent patterns? then it would be valid and that would be so cool!

It'd be extremely difficult to get sample sizes with relatively similar natal charts. The sun sign by itself isn't supposed to tell you particularly much.

im proposing we make a new, better astrology, in which the sun sign tells you everything

Likely there is, because a lot of life tends to follow solar cycles implicitly. Nothing to do with the astrological signs (which have shifted/changed anyway).
GF I was seeing blew my mind with that thought.
See Deaner, et al and NHL for example:

and have hypothesized that there may be strong correlations w/ astrology if location of birth is taken into account w/ birth season. In the ancient world this would be far less variable

I found Dalijeet Peterson’s reading on The Stoa interesting. Neat software.

Flip the question, and ask what personality traits you can discern from being born in the winter vs summer. December babies get fewer birthday presents. Spring babies more likely to have their birthday parties rained out. Summer child gets presents two times a year. Etc.

There’s certainly enough public data now to do this. Either find patterns supporting existing theories (Gladwell’s relative age, Astro, etc.) or to discover entirely new “types” based on factors we couldn’t connect the dots on before.
