In Myanmar astrology, Friday is the day of the guinea pig. If you are born on a Friday, north is your lucky direction and Venus is your ruling planet. Personality and attributes of the guinea pig?
You are sensitive and emotional and you empathize with others. You are also restless and quickly tire of jobs, people and places. You have a strong artistic streak, but tend to be a dabbler. If you can stick with art or music long enough to develop your talents, you are capable of creating great beauty.
Hmmm…
If you are Friday-born, you are naturally artistic and creative. You have tons of fabulous ideas, but have a hard time seeing them through to completion. This may be because you are going in so many different directions at once. But you hesitate to pick one thing because you bore easily and get tired of the same thing. You are loving, kind and very sympathetic. You are very sensitive to others, and make a wonderful friend.
Double Hmmm….you see…I was born on Friday.
The people of Myanmar strongly believe in astrology and the day you are born plays a major factor in your fate, in match making, in business dealing, even in purchasing a car or applying for a job.
On pagoda platforms, one may see devotees pouring or splashing water on some planetary posts and stone Buddha images placed around the main stupa.
As a rule, when a Buddhist visits a pagoda, he or she invariably sits and prays in his or her birthday corner- as an example a Friday-born would sit and pray in the north corner.
I found it all fascinating, so whether you’re a believer or not…I’m just here to say…
Adorable. What a nice tradition…if I would only know on which day I was born! Beautiful pictures.
Very, very fascinating, Robin! And please tell anyone they can find out what day they were born by Googling their birthdate! (http://www.dayoftheweek.org/?m=August&d=24&y=1954&go=Go)
I was born on a Wednesday evening and would sure love to know why Wednesday is the only day on the wheel that has a morning and evening designation?? Astrid was born on a Tuesday. Now I’ll have to Google about the Myanmar astrology for those days. You know I’m a firm believer in natal birth charts. 🙂
VERY fascinating!
I was born on a Sunday, r´that makes me – an owl? I’d love to be a guinee pig, too! Great pictures, great inspiration.
Very interesting. Sounds a lot like you in many ways… you do get restless and bore easily….but I don’t agree that you quickly tire of people…or at least I haven’t seen that in you once you make “REAL” friends with someone…at least I hope you don’t ever tire of me…, but then I’m your frissy… 🙂 Xoxo to the moon & back & MORE!!
Very very fascinating. Isn’t is great to sometimes go into the deeper meaning of life. In the Netherlands we have on Wednesdays a silly saying, at noon we saw the week in half. Often I ask my colleague, did you bring your saw……(of course I always bring the vacuum cleaner for the dust ;))
In the wheel, I see the Wednesday morning and afternoon…. so there might be a connection here too.
Very fascinating, thank you for sharing. Great pictures with the post too.
Interesting……gonna check and see what my kids days say about them. And happy all of your days, beautiful you:)

I just checked to see what day I was born on, as your description of a Friday person fit me to a tee! Sure enough, I was born on a Friday! That explains everything;)
How cool! I was born on Tuesday & am a lion. Just love this stuff! Xo
The clarity, crispness of your shots, not to mention all of the accompanying artistry, is special to your work. Beautiful!
