Holy wafflesticks, man. I am a Pisces, born on March 20th. I do not believe in astrology, never have, never will. I've sometimes read the horoscopes for amusement, to chuckle at the coincidences that they happen to list. Like the above. I am compassionate, no doubts there, I am artistic in my past (writing, drawing, building), often dreamy, and I do have epilepsy, and not bipolar but clinical depression. It's safe to say that I am also in some ways impractical. Geez, go figure. The only thing in my favor seems to be that I am governed by Neptune, and not Uranus.

In the latest study, published in the current edition of the journal Neurology, scientists at the National Cancer Institute found that adults born in January and February had the highest risk of brain cancer.

Seasonal birth patterns have been most firmly established in schizophrenia patients. Danish researchers reported several years ago that the risk of developing the disorder was highest among those born in February and March

can I go back and change the month of my birth?

Well, Thank god, and my parents, that I'm a Taurus and not a Scorpio

Unless it's saying that Scorpio's are better at a certain act...

Now, all kidding aside. Rowan, where did you find that chart? It is difficult to understand each astrological signs relation to the body without some kind of context to put it into. You have definately piqued my curiosity with this one

I owned a Taurus once, until I totalled it in a collision. Very sad.

Let me say what I think is wrong with this argument.

One, how do scientists commonly determine who is prone to a disease? Observation- compare similarities of who does get it, and look for causitive factors. Considering that neither the direct causitive factors for cancer nor shizophrenia have been accurately identified, this is the most likely hypothesis.

If you test any group for any factor based on a temporal or locational constant, it would be a miracle if the results came out at a perfectly even distribution in any way. So, what their information really states is "We did a sampling of people to see who is possibly more likely to develop X, based on observable indications of the presence of X and the month of their birth, and the highest incidence was among people born in months a, b, and c." Does this mean that the month is a causitive factor? Of course not. You could build the same hypothesis with geography as the random factor, and determine that living in the US makes you obese.

It's a statictical coincidence, unless they can couple it with data proving that fetal development is actually affected by seasonal factors to a significant enough extent that it would effect predisposition toward disease and disorder. Considering that this would be, as a causitive factor, up against much more powerful factors such as diet, environment, and heredity, I don't think it's very likely.

Emphasis is on your surroundings and close family members. The latter can be a source of concern as their beliefs may differ strongly from your own. Take care not to get drawn into major conflicts with family, particularly where work is concerned or what you are doing in the world.
Not bad news, considering it is Monday of all days!

Me: Good thing we're THINKING this and not TYPING it
Myself: Wake up and smell the ambrosia dimwit, we ARE typing it!
Me: Oops... where's my Thorazine???
Myself: You fed it to the HAMSTER, remember?
