Just noted that Wikipedia predicts that in May 2009 the World population will reach 6.7 billion. Astrologers would have people believe that for each of these 6.7 billion people there are only 12 different daily outcomes. So on any given day about half a billion people are having the same type of day.
There are 88 constellations and 13 Zodiacal constellations. A constellation is said to be Zodiacal if the Sun passes through it.
Astrologers attribute peoples birth signs based on the constellation that the Sun is in at the birth of that person.
The Sun is in the following constellations during the year.
Dec 19 to Jan 19 Sagittarius
Jan 19 to Feb 18 Capricorn
Feb 18 to March 13 Aquarius
March 13 to April 20 Pisces
April 20 to May 13 Aries
May 13 to June 21 Taurus
June 21 to July 20 Gemini
July 20 to Aug 11 Cancer
Aug 11 to Sept 18 Leo
Sept 18 to Nov 1 Virgo
Nov 1 to Nov 22 Libra
Nov 22 to Dec 1 Scorpius
Dec 1 to Dec 19 Orphiuchus
Note that due to the different shape and size of these Zodiacal constellations that the Sun spends vastly different periods in them and that there are 13.
Another consideration is that apparently these objects in the sky that effect our daily lives have absolutely no affect on the unborn, maybe the mother has some sort of inbuilt cosmic shielding that protects her unborn child from these forces.
While on the subject of these forces exerted by the planets, apparently the numerous Brown Dwarfs and molecular clouds that we pass as the Sun with everything that is gravitationally bound to it, hurtles through space at 220 km/sec on its orbit around the Galactic Centre, also have no affect on us. However such object are quite capable of setting objects from the Oort cloud on new paths, either out of the Solar System or in towards the Sun as comets.
It really is amazing how the general public associate astronomy and astrology as the same thing. I suppose its up to us to set the record straight at every opportunity.
