Many different factors can have an effect on our personalities. If you are a follower of numerology, which is the doctrine that asserts the existence of a divine connection between numbers and events, you can deduce information about your personality based on important dates.
This includes the day of the week you were born as well as the date you were born, your zodiac sign, the position of the planets at the time of your birth, and the element associated with your zodiac sign.
Every one of these aspects can be condensed down to a single-digit number that represents a characteristic of one's personality. What does the day you were born on reveal about you?
Your natal zodiac sign isn't the only factor that shapes who you are; the day of the week you were born on also has a “ruling planet” that has an influence on who you are.
For instance, in astrology, it is commonly believed that people who were born on Sundays tend to have a lot of good luck.
Now, when we talk about the characteristics of being born on Sunday or Monday, we most likely mean the characteristics of the planet that is ruled by that particular day, how it affects the subconscious, and whether it is positively or negatively placed in your natal chart.
Even though the distinctive qualities of each planet have, for the most part, been preserved, the shift in planetary position can sometimes affect a person differently.
If you take a closer look at the day of the week you were born, you can learn a lot about yourself and how you relate to the world around you.
Simply entering your exact date of birth into Google will show you the day of the week on which you were born.
There is a difference between your full date of birth and the actual day you were born. The former is something that Numerology deals with, while the latter is more associated with the planets.
It's interesting to note that the days of the week in Hellenistic astrology are named after planets or other stars:
Monday, (lunes, lunedi or lundi in Spanish/Italian/French is luna or Selene) is the moon;
Tuesday, (artes, mardi or martedi in these romantic languages) is Mars;
Wednesday, (miercoles, mercoledi, mercredi) is named after Mercury;
Thursday, (jueves, giovedi, jeudi) is Jupiter;
Friday, (viernes, venerdi, vendredi) is Venus;
Saturday, (sabado, sabato, samedi) is Saturn;
Sunday, (sol or Helios) is the Sun.
The planets, on the other hand, take their names from ancient Greek and Roman deities; as a result, they typically have their own distinct personalities, which can correspond to the days of the week and leave their imprint on people who are born on those specific days.
Additionally, there is a well-known nursery rhyme in the English language called “Monday's Child,” which was written in the 16th century:
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace.
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living.
And the child born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, good and gay.
