Well that's what British stat-man Kenneth Mitchell has discovered after studying the star signs of every Olympic winner since the modern Games began.
He has apparently unearthed a correlation between the month an athlete was been and how likely they are to succeed in certain events.
Ingeniously, he's named the phenomenon "The Pisces Effect," due to finding out that swimmers born under the sign won 30% more medals compared to athletes with other star signs.
The overall star-sign podium places go to Capricorn, Aquarius and Aries, who all
'boasted a significantly higher number of golds.'
Can star signs really make a difference, or is it just coincidence?
