4. Although I don't believe in the scam of astrology, I wouldn't 100% discount the possibility

that the environment into which one is born, and the availability of various nutrients during pregnancy could perhaps influence some personality traits.

It wouldn't be 'magic', it would be chemistry and physics.

And I think, to the extent it MIGHT be true, it would've been seen hundreds of years ago, but nowadays I don't believe it for a second, not in the 1st world anyway.

But I think there's some chance when you were born may've 'mattered' in primitive times, or maybe even now in places where people are exposed to the elements, don't have steady food supplies, etc.

The 'stars' have absolutely nothing to do with the phenomenon, though, if it actually is a thing.
