Want to be famous? Then hopefully you're an AQUARIUS: Controversial study links astrology with how successful you will become

A study says your star sign decides how successful you will be
The research was carried out by the University of Connecticut
It claims that the time of year you were born is the biggest factor
But your star sign is also said to be an indicator

Quote:

The month you are born dictates whether you are likely to become a celebrity or not, according to a one academic.

He says that those born between the months of December and March are more likely to succeed in school and become successful - which he questionably links to astrology.

While he doesn’t go so far as to say that the planets and stars influence your behaviour, he does say that astrology can be useful for seeing patterns in humans.

Quote:

The controversial research in the Comprehensive Psychology journal, linking astrology to celebrity status, was carried out by Dr Mark Hamilton from the University of Connecticut.

He reaches the ultimately scientific conclusion that the time of year a child is born relative to their classmates - known as relative age - is the biggest factor in determining how successful someone will be.

Quote:

Those with a higher relative age - that is, born closer to the start of the school year in September - are more likely to succeed.

‘Higher performance on mental and physical tasks during childhood development would promote ambition,’ Dr Hamilton said.

‘Accumulated across at least 12 years of education, this prolonged achievement could result in a sense of personal triumph.’

He added that this would ‘surely agree that distant star clusters do not exert mystical effects on earthly events.’

But in his paper, he also says astrology can appear to play a part in how successful a person will become.

Quote:

In the study he looked at a data set of 300 celebrities from the fields of politics, science, public service, literature, the arts and sports.

He found that celebrities' birth dates tended to cluster at certain times of the year. 'Wet' signs were associated with more celebrities, as were signs classified as 'bright' and 'fixed'.

‘Psychologists want to dismiss these astrological correlations, but there are seasonality effects that we have yet to explain,’ Dr Hamilton said.

Also...

If you're a Sagittarian, you are twice as likely to hit the big time.

Quote:

Sagittarians like Bitney Spears (left) and Christina Aguilera are more likely to make their big showbusiness breakthrough when they are young.

Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, etc. all broke through when they were young and dominated their respective fields.
