This whole drama about the star sign dates changing has got me thinking. If you were told as a child that you were a different star sign, do you think you would be a different person now?
I automatically began to think of the clean slate we have as children. I wish I could start talking about research I studied during A levels but I have completely forgotten it. However I do remember that what it basically finds is that children have a clean slate in their minds. Basically, their personality is clear until outside sources influence it.
Now usually the influences are that of role models. For example parents or personal heroes. However what if something as simple as a star sign could be one of those influences.
Imagine you are a child and you are basically a sponge. Your parent comes up to you, reads you a statement from a book and says "Because you are a Scorpio, that is how you are."
What does a child think? If we are told what type of people we are based on supposed solid facts, wouldn't we, as children, simply agree and sort of add that attribute to our clean slate?
Think about it right now as an adult. Imagine someone came up to you and told you that as of today, you are a different star sign. Does that change your attributes? Does it change your personality and 'things that tick you off' as most star sign books speak of?
Just another bolt of a though stretched out into a blogpost.
I think as children we would have been affected, but not as adults. I agree Nature is a strong thing, however I think Nurture is just as strong. Life changes people.
Imagine someone telling you who you are before you're even aware you have no idea who the fuck you are.
