In this study, we aimed to determine whether the birth time and zodiac sign distribution of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients, an immune response-related viral disease that negatively affects life in the world, was different from the general population.  \nMaterial and Methods: Three thousand one hundred six patients aged 18 years and older who were treated for COVID-19 infection were retrospectively included in the study. Birth dates and demographic and clinical data of patients were recorded.  \nResults: Nine hundred sixteen (29 . 5%) patients were born in spring, 635 (19 .2%) in summer, 501 (14 .8%) in autumn, and 1,135 (36 . 5%) in winter. Although births in Turkey were statistically more frequent in the summer and autumn seasons, the proportion of people born in spring and winter was higher in COVID-19 patients. The least common zodiac sign in COVID-19 patients was Scorpio (4 .4%), whereas the least common zodiac sign in the general population was Sagittarius (5 .4%) . Compared with the zodiac map of Turkey, the frequency of Capricorn, Aries, Aquarius, and Pisces was higher in COVID-19 patients. It was noteworthy that the mortality rate in COVID-19 patients was highest in the sagittarius (7 . 1%) and at least in the libitum (1 .8%) .  \nConclusion: The most common zodiac sign in COVID-19 patients was Capricorn, and the least common horoscope was Scorpio. The mortality rate of COVID-19 patients with Scorpio, Virgo, Sagittarius, Aquarius, and Capricorn signs was found to be higher than the others.  \nKeywords: COVID-19, immunity, zodiac sign  \n\n| INTRODUCTION\u003Cbr>In a healthy person, the immune system is in balance. The disruption of this balance in the immune system facilitates the occurrence of diseases in different spectrum (1-3) . Although the factors that cause immune system disruption are still not fully known, many factors can be effective in etiopathogenesis. Many environmental factors, such as low vitamin D levels, ultraviolet radiation, infections, and melatonin levels, can cause the imbalance of the immune system (4-8) . All of these factors | can be effective at different seasonal levels. For example, the frequency of infection may increase because of a decrease in vitamin D levels in winter (9) .\u003Cbr>In the science of astrology, which has kept its mystery for centuries, especially the time of birth (detailed date, day, time, etc.) has become a particular focus of attention. In recent years, medical astrology has increased in popularity by attracting more and more people’s attention. Within the Zodiac is the area of the sky where the sun, moon, planets, and stars are located. the |\n| --- | --- |\n\nAddress for Correspondence: Ahmet Karataş, Fırat University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Rheumatology, Elazığ, Turkey Phone: +90 424 233 35 55 E-mail: drakaratas@yahoo.com ORCID ID: [orcid.org/0000-0002-6725-4182](orcid.org/0000-0002-6725-4182)[ ](orcid.org/0000-0002-6725-4182)Received: 18.12.2023 Accepted: 23.12.2023  \n©Copyright 2023 by Galenos Publishing House The Rheumatology Quarterly published by Galenos Publishing House.  \nCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4 .0)  \nKarataş and Timurkaan.
