And Month of Birth
A Question of Astrological and
Compatible Aggressiveness?

Here are the "tendencies"
found by Kop and Heuts:
If YOUR partner does not match this list,
do not worrry! This is just statistics.
Love is stronger than math.

Whether similar results would be found in other cities
or other geographic areas is of course open to question.
But it is an interesting question.
The late Drs. P.P.A.M. Kop and Dr. B.A. Heuts
behavioral scientists at the University of Amsterdam, authored
"Month of Birth and Partner Choice in Marriage",
Journal of Interdisciplinary Cycle Research, Vol. 5, No. 1, 1974, p. 19.
In the course of many years they had noted in their studies of animals
that "not every male will form a pair with any female or vice versa".
Indeed, observations of certain kinds of birds tended to show
that they seemed to have a preference for mates
born in the same year as themselves.
It therefore occurred to these scientists to study whether any such
preferences could be found among human beings as well.
Accordingly, they went to the marriage registry office
in Amsterdam and took a random sample
of nearly 3500 marriages from the files.
These files contained the birth dates of the partners
and also noted when a marriage had ended in divorce.
Since neither of the scientists were interested in astrology,
they divided the data up into months and half-months.

The Strongest Results
based on differences in aggressivity
|
|
Females generally show a preference to marry men
born two months later in the year than they were
themselves. This preference is particularly strong
for women born in January, February, March and April.
|
|
Males generally prefer women born within two months
(earlier OR later) than their own birth month, and
generally show less of a preference for women
born four to six months distant.
|
|
Males born in the second half of January tend to show
a preference for females born in the second half of
October (twice as many marriages as expected by chance).
|
|
Males and females born in April and the first half
of May tend to show preference not to marry each
other (half as many marriages as expected by chance).
|
|
Males born in the period from the latter half of June
to the first half of July tend to marry females born
in the period from the latter half of July to the first
half of August (twice as many marriages
as expected by chance).
|
|
Males born in March who married females born
in July have an eight times greater divorce rate
than would be expected by chance.
|
|
Higher divorce rates than expected by chance
also existed for marriages where the males were
born in February and females born in May, and
for males born in July and females born in February,
and for males born in October and females born in June.
|
|
Males born in the second half of November divorced
twice as often as males born at any other time of the year
(regardless of the date of birth of the female !)
