Oprah is rich, famous and having a birthday on the  29th of January.  Coincidence? Perhaps not.

We all want the best for our kids.  We hope for health and happiness but some parents want for more. So if you look to the stars for inspiration, here's a genuine "scientific tip." (as reported by the Mirror.co.uk )

If you want your child to be Rich & Famous, better get busy in May or June. (it's a math thing)

Researchers randomly selected from people of different walks of life, including politicians, scientists, authors, sports stars, singers, actors, and celebrities from today and yesteryear.  (What motivates such a study sounds a lot like having too much scientific time on your scientific hands!)

Here's what they found.  Seems as though the majority of these famous folks were born under the zodiac sign Aquarius.  So here is what any of a bazillion websites on line have to say about Aquarius.

AQUARIUS   January 20 to February 18 

 TRAITS

Weaknesses:  Temperamental, uncompromising, aloof

Shy and quiet , but  can be eccentric and energetic, deep thinkers, highly intellectual,  love helping others. Able to see both sides without prejudice, problem solvers, see the world as a place full of possibilities, constantly strive to be surrounded by other people

Aquarius is an air sign, and as such, uses his mind at every opportunity. If there is no mental stimulation, they are bored and lack a motivation to achieve the best result.

Famous celebrities with the star sign include Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
