Gerbils (OT? was Moody 'n' Draco) - Birthdates (FF/SHIP)

Okay, Dinah, I give up.  I have searched the site (and am now 
convinced that God is a gerbil) but have found nothing related to 
Moody or Draco, furry or otherwise.  Please advise.

So what you're saying is that he was born under the baleful influence 
of Saturn.

Well, there's a little-known secret about the wizarding world, buried 
from the sight of most in Notebook #12 of Filing Box #36 in Jo's 
study, but those of us who have the Inner Eye have been given to 
divine it:  magical folk are only fertile between the autumn equinox 
and winter solstice.  After that they enter a period of frustration 
and sexual stasis, leading to polar-bear dips in the lake, 
uncontrollable binges on sweets, and Christmas Night arguments....

...oh, forget it, I don't have the energy.  How about this 
explanation: spring birthdays are the best?
