Not to mention, JKR gave Harry her own birthday.  Looking back through
the thread, a lot of it seems to fit her, but some of it doesn't (as
far as I can tell, not actually knowing her personally or anything).

This charting is quite detailed.  I can see JKR looking up astrology,
as she did wand woods, when she was planning the series, but I can't
imagine her taking it this far -- especially, since I agree with
David, that she probably doesn't believe in it at all.

I don't believe in astrology, but if it were true, I could see how
Harry's birthday would turn out to match his chart fairly well.  After
all, JKR said there is quite a bit of herself in Harry.  Then again,
there is a lot of her in Hermione, too.
