This reply wound up being TL/DR. Sorry :(

If the in-game globes are thought to be accurate, then the Empire of the Isles does seem to exist in the Northern Hemisphere. Perhaps the 'year' just starts near the beginning of Fall in the Dishonored and not in the middle of winter.

As for correlating birthdates with those in the real world, each of the in-game months have only 28 days, whereas the real world doesn't stay to so rigid a format. Therefore, me being born on March 23 translates into me being born on the 84th day of the year (non-Leap Year of course).

That would then put my birthday on the 28th day of Nets, as that is the 84th day of the year.

Additionally, there are also 13 months to the Dishonored Calendar compared to the 12 current ones we have, so again, that doesn't quite line up. Who would people born in the months of Songs correlate to, as they are the thirteenth month of the year?

Of course at one time there were only ten months of the year in the real world, hence September, October, November, and December translate roughly into the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th month. January and February were added later.

As to Zodialogical signs, again having thirteen months kinda messes with the twelve commonly used Zodiac signs having equal bearing on the months. Of course, there has been real world suggestions of using both a thirteenth and even a fourteenth Zodiac sign in our own cultures, with Ophiuchus being used as the thirteenth, and Cetus being used as the fourteenth.
