According to a recent article in the Australian, it's no surprise that Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln, two of the great figures of the 19th century, shared February 12, 1809 as their date of birth. All one would have to do to see it is trace the paths their lives took!

Though on the same date, Darwin and Lincoln were born on different sides of the Atlantic, into completely different environments. Upper-crust Darwin arrived into a stately manor while Lincoln was a man of humble beginnings whose childhood abode was a log cabin. Yet, the similarities didn't stop with their date of birth.

Both men were raised as Christians, though Darwin died an atheist and Lincoln was reportedly an outspoken non-believer. Neither was very impressive when it came to academics, but both taught themselves to reached the peak of their professions. Both were not only able to embrace change but create it; Darwin and Lincoln both detested slavery. And, the two men each experienced vital, history changing turning points in their 20s: Lincoln entered politics, and Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands, which inspired his theory of evolution.

Darwin's greatest work, "On the Origin of Species," was published in 1859 - just one year before Lincoln was elected US president. Two events that challeged the status quo, changed the world and created enemies among the conservatives of the time. Eventually, Charles Darwin was denounced and Abraham Lincoln was assasinated.

As reporter Mark Juddery writes:

"According to astrologers and numerologists, it is more than just coincidence that these two giants were born on the same day."

Astrological statistics suggest that "birth twins", as they are called, have more than a few things in common. "There are certain similarities of temperament, understanding and approach to life," says Sydney astrologer Mary-Anne Reid when interviewed. "I have actually helped people with career guidance based on their charts ... and yes, it does work."
