People with this star sign are most likely to become famous

Whether you like to admit it or not, we’re all guilty of secretly skimming our horoscope on the work commute. Now, there’s scientific evidence to back up our intrigue.

A recent study has revealed that those with the Aquarius star sign – born between January 20 and February 18 – are more likely to become famous.

The experiment conducted by the Journal of Social Sciences, sampled a random selection of 100 people – which included actors, politicians and authors – from throughout history.

Findings concluded that there is a positive correlation between Feb babies and fame, which only strengthened when the sample of participants also increased.

But why?

An article by Vice Broadly states that Aquarians “have a strong desire for independence and to stand out in a crowd” – a possible reason behind their A-list status.

For instance, famous Aquarians include the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey and John Travolta.

But it’s worth noting that this isn’t the first study to investigate the correlation between star signs and career paths.

A recent survey conducted by the UK Office of National Statistics found that people born in January are likely to become doctors while a large number of those with a February birthday become CEOs.
