This has nothing to do with business. But I was fascinated by it.

How common is your birthday?

Interesting!

I will draw my own conclusions: December and January are both cold and festive months.

Me too! Sept. 26.

Are you a Libra or a Virgo? My guess is Virgo.

Why, because I'm analytical and precise -- with an annoying tendency to improve and perfect things (even things that are fine just the way they are)? Yes, I'm a Virgo...Sept 2.

Aha yes I got it! My Mom is a Virgo, so I am familiar.

The birthday thing is interesting because in my direct family there are 2 July birthdays, 2 August birthdays, and 3 September birthdays. Kind of a logjam there. then there are vasts spaces of no birthday activity.

Okay it could be a business discussion any research on the most common birthdays for CEOs and CEOs that have perpetuated less than ethical practices? ( Yes I am another Virgo?)

@impactnow, I'm sure you're going to be looking at quite the range of birthdates with such a large sample!

Yes it could be a very intresting screening tool. But seriously companies could really use this information from a marketing perspective they could target their baby and pregnancy based campaigns to align with these due date spikes.

That's a very good point that hasn't been touched upon yet. I mean, the information is clear as day, so it would make sense to ramp up your marketing efforts do these time periods.

I actually work for a parenting website and it's funny to me that no one on the marketing team or any of our clients have ever mentioned anything about this trend.
