Are you a numerologist?
No, I am not. I prefer to describe myself as a creative writer, a student of astrology and numerology, and a keen observer of human behavior. I have been observing and studying people all my life. And now I get to write about my experience and observations using the art of numerology in tandem with (a bit of) astrology. So, what I practice and study every day, I now get to share on this platform using my interpretation, personal experience, intuitive abilities, and observational skills.
What is your educational and/or professional background?
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in international business and languages. After years of working in various commercial and business supportive roles for various international companies, the Universe pushed me to focus on the spiritual side of life as well. This has led me towards a direction that allows me to become more of a person who guides and helps others overcome challenges and make better decisions that will improve the overall quality of their lives. Hence, my website – Thursday in August – enables me to do just that. I get to combine my passion for the written word with the science of Astro-numerology and use it as an alternative psychological method and tool for understanding human behavior.
Why is your website called ‘Thursday in August’?
I was born on a Thursday in August.😉
Plus, I believe that the day on which you were born can tell you a lot about your path in life.
When did you start Thursday in August, and why?
Thursday in August was born in November 2015 as a result of my new direction in life. I had just quit an office job in aviation and wanted to go towards a more independent and creative field. So I started my blog, which enabled me to express myself creatively through fashion, beauty, and travel. After about 1.5 years of full-time blogging, I didn’t enjoy writing about these topics anymore and focused on growing myself more spiritually. I did that through numerology and astrology. Because I saw how it all transformed my own life for the better, I started sharing my knowledge and personal experiences about these ancient sciences on my blog as well. Hence, what started as a fashion, beauty, and travel blog in November 2015, has now transformed into a spiritual lifestyle platform/website with numerology as a core base.

What can I expect from Thursday in August or Thursdayinaugust.com?
Thursday in August or thursdayinaugust.com is a creative spiritual lifestyle and educational platform with numerology as the central focus. I’ve created this for anyone interested in numerology or wanting to get to know themselves through the divine guidance of numbers. My intention is to inspire and help people raise their self-awareness and develop a growth mindset. Hence, Thursday in August could be of help to anyone wanting to improve themselves or are already on a journey of self-improvement, personal development, and spiritual growth. In addition, through the information I share on this platform, I aspire to provide you with a modern-day, creative, easy-to-understand, and alternative perspective on this ancient art.
What numerology system do you use?
Obviously, there’s a big debate in our modern times about which numerology system is the most accurate: Chaldean or Pythagorean? Just with anything in life; nothing is edged in stone. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The same goes for the debate about Western vs. Vedic Astrology. However, I personally prefer and use the Pythagorean numerology system, a.k.a Western numerology, because I just relate to it more. For instance, I just believe that the name on our birth certificate holds more value than the name we use on a daily basis, such as a nickname. However, I combine Western (Greek) numerology with basic Vedic (Indian) astrology principles. In other words, I use the signification of the 9 planets (commonly used in Vedic astrology) as a base for understanding the energetic vibration, behavioral qualities, and influence of the numbers in numerology. Even though I prefer the Pythagorean system, I sometimes refer to the Chaldean system to get a different insight and perspective.
Do I need any knowledge about numerology before reading your content or purchase any products via your website?
You do not need any extensive knowledge about numerology. However, it might come in handy to have some basic knowledge about numbers, just like the basics of astrology, because both tools go hand-in-hand. If you know the basics of astrology(planets, houses, and signs), then you’re already 3 steps ahead. Just keep in mind that this platform is created to inspire, educate, and empower you to realize your full potential and become the best version of yourself using numerology as a self-help tool. So the basics will be covered as well.
Is numerology scientifically proven and does it really work?
In the Western world, numerology is not recognized as an ‘official’ science that can be used for personal development and is therefore not taught in schools. Most people prefer to label it as just another system of Divination, or write it off as Pseudoscience, unfortunately.
However, from my very own experiences, observations, and research, I can attest that the philosophy behind numerology works. I personally do not consider numerology as just a divination art. It’s more than that. I truly believe it’s one of the tools that can truly help you understand the behavioral patterns of humans. However, just like with astrology, there will always be skeptics, and so I say, the only way to understand numerology, or astrology for that matter, is to start learning about this ancient Divine knowledge and decide for yourself. But do not forget to use your own intuition, best judgment, and logic. Also, understand that the information I share on this website is not to convince anyone. It’s about knowledge sharing.
Do you offer any personal coaching/training programs?
No, I do not offer any coaching and/or training programs. For now, I just offer custom numerology birth chart services – for you to understand your own personal numbers- and other creative digital products to support you on your Astro-numerology journey. Free learning material is also available to learn numerology, develop your skills, discover more about yourself, and help you recognize your own behavioral patterns. I believe that some things just need to be learned on your own, and numerology is one of them. Additionally, I’m a firm believer in experiential learning and self-directed learning. In other words; your experience is your BEST teacher! I believe that one of the most profound ways of improving your life is by learning from your own experiences and discovering yourself through your surroundings, behavior, and the situations you find yourself in. Hence, why I’ve created this platform; to inspire, empower, and support you along your journey by providing you with both free information and paid digital services/goods for you to explore and learn numerology on your own. I prefer to leave it up to you. I rather provide people with the knowledge and tools combined with my personal experiences, research, and intuitive nature, so they can decide on their own whether they find it useful enough to incorporate into their lives.
