Study of 20 Million People Reveals the Truth About the Connection Between Your Zodiac Sign and Relationships
A study by Dr. David Voas from the University of Manchester analyzed the birth dates of approximately ten million married couples in England and Wales and found no connection between astrological signs and partner selection. The large sample size was expected to reveal even a tiny effect, but no evidence was found.
A study by Dr. David Voas from the University of Manchester, published in 2007, analyzed the birth dates of approximately ten million married couples in England and Wales to test whether there is a link between astrological signs and partner selection. The study found no statistical tendency, even with a massive sample size that would have revealed a tiny effect. The article notes that despite the lack of scientific evidence, a 2018 Pew survey found that 29% of Americans believe in astrology. The study did not examine relationship happiness or divorce rates, only marriage patterns. The article concludes with the hypothesis that belief stems from the relative ease of seeking answers in the stars compared to the complexity of relationships.
