If you look throughout history you can see ironic things such as this. My history teacher last year told me the same thing. There was a horoscope saying on April 20th, 1889 (or 21st cant recall which was his birthday) an Austrian (I think he was) would be born who'd become a powerful ruler in Germany, which happened to be Hitler's birthday.
