No that doesn't make any sense unless an infant is going to start bean counting a few weeks after being born. Otherwise how does it make sense to you?
Astrology is 100% bullcrap and none of it makes sense. The logic you guys use to make it make sense is a little silly.
The time of year you were born has no effect on your personality. How would you even explain that in terms of evolution?

Correct, that would be absurd. But a baby born that time if year maybe raised to help fulfil that role when they grow up.
I didn’t say birth sign imbued people with magical talent at birth.

I agree, except i believe winter babies vs summer babies could have slightly different personalities based on the mood around their birth and early days

When they come of age to work it will be at a certain time of year where particular work is required. So the time of birth would definitely affect what kind of work they would eventually be exposed to first.
The person you're responding to is trying to rationalize why people thought astronomical bodies affected people's personalities, not that they are exactly correct about it. Assuming people in the past were just nonsensical is bad science and a little arrogant. They had an internal logic, which is interesting to think about.
