Why 58%?
8 is in the ground family (2, 4, 8) and 5 is in the mind family (1, 5, 7). Mind with ground starts at 58. The nudge comes from the roots: 8 + 5 = 13, which leaves 1 when divided by 3, so the nudge is 0. 58 + 0 = 58.
Out of the 78 possible pairings, 67 score higher than this one. Rarity: 11.1% of birthdays from 1950 to 2009 give 8 and 11.1% give 5, so about 1 in 41 random pairs of birthdays land on exactly this pair.
