How to pick a career based on your zodiac sign

If you’re reading this article, you’re probably at least curious about how your zodiac sign can influence your life. And really, when it comes to astrology, curiosity is all you need to fall down the proverbial rabbit hole. So would you believe that the time you were born might affect your career path?

Birth-month significance has also made its way into scientific studies, which gives new weight to how your birthday can impact your future. For example, one study mentioned in Medical Daily said that your birth month may say something about your health later in life. Another reported by The Atlantic claims that the time of year you were born may explain aspects of your mood and personality. If scientists, arguably the most skeptical people, are standing behind birth month significance, perhaps there’s something to it after all?
