Are you bored with astrology; done with MBTI personality types? Why not let a Middle Irish wisdom-tract dictate how you live your life instead! Found in the Book of Uí Maine, a text written in 1394 under the patronage of Muircheartach Ó Ceallaigh, Archbishop of Tuam, the "Meaning of Birthdays" will tell you everything you need to know about your future, whether it's your luck with women, popularity with dogs or your future bloody death in battle!

Born on a Sunday? Well good news, the Irish sages predict a happy life:

He who is born on Sunday will be longlived, his life will be happy, he will have wealth in the world, he will be in favour with kings and erenaghs, great will be his power, his profit in his own hands.

If you were born on a Monday, your lot in life won't be as great as a Sunday-baby but at least you won't die of plague:

He who is born on Monday, his wealth in cattle will be good, there will be a blemish on his face, he will not be sharp, he will be generous, many culdees will sing his requiem, and repentance will come to him before death.

Love dogs and women? Better hope you were born on a Tuesday!

He who is born on Tuesday, drowning will carry him off, great will be his wealth in small cattle, his power will not be strong, he will be a favourite with women and dogs.

Do you always identify with the villain in Disney movies instead of the good guys? You might have been born on a Wednesday!

He who is born on Wednesday, a blemish on his body, he will die a bloody death, his speech will be venomous, he will be hated, he will be a powerful plunderer, he will do a dire deed before death.

Thursday-kids, those overachievers, am I right?

He who is born on Thursday will die at Vespers, either by a swoon (?) or a fright, he will be longlived, he will be loving, he will have many children, whatever may be the art he may exercise, he will be good in it, he will be harsh.

Ever feel like you were destined to get involved in politics? You could have been born on a Friday:

He who is born on Friday, he will have a death of repentance, he will be covetous, he will have wealth of gold and silver, his tribe2 and race will serve him, he will be bloody, he will be rich in the praise from men.

And finally, you better hope you weren't born on a Saturday!

He who is born on Saturday, fever (?) and a bowel-disease will carry him off, great will be his dignity, he will do evil deeds, he will be venomous, he will be a parricide, he will do many slaughters, he will lead a licentious life.
