According to a study published in the Journal of Social Sciences, children born in January and February are more likely to be successful, as opposed to those born in the later months of the year. This applies to things varied as school grades, soccer, and ice hockey.
The study in question looked at 100 celebrities with “different lifestyles”. This included politicians, entrepreneurs, singers, actors, athletes, researchers and writers.
The results showed that a disproportionate number of rich, successful and famous individuals had birthdays in January and February.
Over-presented in professions
The difference in primary school subjects are supposedly related to career choices – January babies, for example, are over-represented when it comes to high-status professions, such as doctors.
The researchers also found that those born between January 20 and February 18 had an even higher chance of becoming famous. Studies of 500 companies from 1992 to 2009 found children in January are more likely to grow up to become a CEO.
In fact, a number of the world’s most famous individuals are born under the Aquarius star sign. These include Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres, Cristiano Ronaldo, Jennifer Aniston, Bob Marley, Michael Jordan, Abraham Lincoln, Ashton Kutcher, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
