Parellel Lives???

Last year, while googling I accidently touched an American Photographer/Actress (not well known) name on my I Pad which took me through to her WIKI page. Being interested in Photography I had a look on her main website and noticed her Date of Birth was 3 days before my own. On reading some Questions and Answers she had done in some interviews I was surprised at the number of personality traits, though process, dress, food, film, music tastes etc. she had that were similar to my own. She also went through an emotional time period 2004/5 due to relationship problems at a similar time to myself. Her partner's birth date was 3 days later than my partners birth date (different years). During the time period 2001/4 when she was in a relationship I used to get the odd comment that I had a look of her partner who is also on American TV. Our careers elevated in a similar time period. We both have long first names that can be abbreviated into shorter names for a boy or girl. We both have four letters for our middle name and seven letters in our surname. There must be lots of us very similar in the World but its still weird when you come accross someone who is. It also led me onto reading various astrology websites and downloading a personal profile from the date and time I was born, this report was very accurate in many parts. Something in Astrology or like marketing you will hit a certain percentage of your audience???
