birthday meanings?

[Mike182]

does your birthday have any specific meaning? i found out two things today that amazed me - first, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_6

November 6 is the 310th day of the year (311th in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 55 days remaining.
With 88 days between the equinox on September 23 and the solstice on 21 December, we are considered halfway through the relevant seasons (Autumn or Fall in the northern hemisphere; Spring in the southern hemisphere) on this day.

second, though i can't remember the exact name - my RE teacher just got a new bok from Amazon, it goes through every day of the year and gives it a pagan meaning, and the 6th november had someone related to Dragons a St someone or other, i really can't remember but still, :woohoo: i may have found my connection to dragons!

The only thing about my birthday that I ever find is that it is the birthday of the Buddha. Other than that it is just another day. My Wicca Almanac always lists it as Buddha's birthday and I looked up November 6th too. All I found for it was what appeared to be a German holiday known as Leonard's Ride. If it is a holiday. I don't know. I'm not saying that there isn't another thing attached to it, just that it is all I found in this particular almanac.

Wow; February 8th comes up with a whole range. Of course, believing in Numerology as I do, February 8 is not exactly a 'good' day. It's a rather fateful number. Looking back on my life, that about sums it up; any combinations of 8 or 4 are potentially bad for me.
