      earth is a planet. it might play a role, too.

      oh, planets, plural. well, jupiter’s massive gravity helped clear and shape the solar system, and the planets (except mercury) align to its orbital plane, not the sun’s ‘equator’.

          Also there are tons of people who do give in to astrology that do effect your life by their reacting in different ways to how others read those signs.

            But since they all listen to different astrologists and those provide uncoordinated predictions that influence is somewhat mitigated because it affects you in all directions at once

        eh, I have my birthday near midterm season every year, I’d say that’s the sun’s fault for being where it was when I was born.

          Earth’s fault for it to rotate around a fixed axis at that spot relative to the sun each year.
