Normally our senses, such as sight, hearing, taste, are registered separately in our brain. A synesthete is a someone who has heightened sensitivities. For instance they might sense that specific shapes or numbers have certain colors, or perceive hues when they hear sounds. It is not know what causes these “blendings” of the senses, but scientific research is ongoing.

It’s Synaesthesia – An introduction to this unique experience
The individuals listed below have been identified as synesthetes, generally from the manner in which they describe their creative process. Their names were gathered from a variety of online sources. Most of these individuals are artists, writers and musicians. Included also are scientists, inventors and visionaries. It is estimated that 4% of the population has this neurological trait.
In this Dayology breakdown Synesthetes show up in all 12 Sun Signs and 7 Day Rays, but there is a definite predominance of individuals born on Friday which could indicate a particular sensitivity to color prompted by a Venus ruler. Clearly it will take more examination to determine what gives the gift of Synesthetia to some and not to others, but this study provides a good start.
