Can someone's birthday or *blood type influence their character? Some
people believe so. Among young people, for instance, *horoscopes are very
popular. There are twelve *astrological signs in a year, and your birthday tells you
what sign you are. Horoscopes are based on these signs. They are often used to tell
Someone's character. If you are born on April 1, for example, you belong to
the sign,
** Aries.” People who believe in horoscopes say that anyone born under
the sign of Aries is brave but a little careless.
In addition to astrological signs, some people believe that your blood type has
a lot to do with your character. For instance, a person with blood type A is said to
be serious, a person with blood type B is said to be curious, a person with blood
type AB is said to be artistic, and a person with blood type O is said to be very
outgoing. In Japan, this blood type theory of character is very popular among
people of all ages. Hundreds of books about blood types have been published, and
some of them have become best sellers.
Scientists say that there is no clear relation between astrological sign and
character, or between blood type and character, yet many people are fond of asking
others about their signs and blood types. It is true that not everyone believes in
these theories, but for people who do, it can be a lot of fun to talk about and guess
people's characters according to their blood type or sign.
