What the Headlines Around Your Birthday Say About Who You Are

Ever wonder if the world’s chaos during the week you were born left a mark on who you are today? I’m diving into this little research experiment to show how events from around your birth week might just reflect your inner magic.

Take my birthday, January 27, 1978, for example:

• The Blizzard of 1978: A record-breaking storm that hit like whoa. Massive disruption, forcing people to adapt fast. Kind of like how I handle life—breaking through chaos to find power and resilience. Sound familiar?

• Soviet Satellite Crash: Yep, radioactive debris from a Soviet satellite landed in Canada. Talk about sudden changes! As an Aquarius (ruled by rebellious Uranus), this reflects my urge to shake things up and question the status quo. Innovation, baby!

• Punk Rock Rebellion: The rise of punk rock was in full swing, with people shredding societal norms. It screams, “Let’s break the rules and make our own path”—a vibe I can totally get behind.

But here’s the really fun part: I share my birthday with Mozart and Lewis Carroll (you know, the guy who wrote Alice in Wonderland). Genius meets whimsical logic and crazy perspectives. Mozart’s unmatched creativity and Carroll’s way of seeing the world upside down make me think: Am I channeling a little of their magic? Maybe. There’s something about being born on the same day as people who made the world see (and hear) things differently.

Your turn!
