Three Friday Childs

Finding successful individuals born on a Friday is quite a broad task, as one out of every seven people falls into this category. However, several world-altering figures and legendary icons were born on the final day of the workweek.Here are three high-achieving people born on a Friday:

1. Henry Ford

* Born: Friday, July 30, 1863 * Achievement: Founder of the Ford Motor Company and a pioneer of the modern assembly line. * Impact: Ford didn’t just invent a car; he revolutionized the entire manufacturing industry with “Fordism”—the mass production of inexpensive goods coupled with high wages for workers. This approach made the automobile accessible to the middle class and fundamentally changed global transportation and urban planning.

2. Frida Kahlo

* Born: Friday, July 6, 1907 * Achievement: Renowned Mexican painter famous for her uncompromising and brilliantly colored self-portraits. * Impact: Kahlo is celebrated for her depictions of the female experience, chronicling themes of identity, post-colonialism, gender, and class in Mexican society. Today, she is a global icon for the feminist and LGBTQ+ movements, as well as a symbol of Mexican national and indigenous tradition.

3. Christopher Plummer

* Born: Friday, December 13, 1929 * Achievement: Academy Award, Tony Award, and Emmy Award-winning actor. * Impact: Over a career spanning seven decades, Plummer became one of the most respected actors in history. He is best known for his role as Captain von Trapp in The Sound of Music, but he also made history by becoming the oldest person to win an acting Oscar at age 82 for his role in Beginners.

The “Friday Child” concept stems from the traditional English nursery rhyme Monday’s Child, which has been used for centuries to predict a child’s character based on their day of birth.

According to the poem:

“Friday’s child is loving and giving.”> Because Friday is historically ruled by Venus—the planet of love, beauty, and harmony—the “makeup” of a Friday-born individual is often viewed through a lens of empathy and aesthetics.The Personality MakeupIf we look at the folklore and astrological associations, a Friday child’s personality is built on three main pillars:

* Radical Generosity:

True to the rhyme, they are “loving and giving.” This often manifests as a high degree of emotional intelligence. They are the peacemakers of a social group, often prioritizing the needs of others to maintain harmony. * Aesthetic Sensitivity: Being “Venusian,” these individuals often have a deep appreciation for the arts, fashion, and nature. They don’t just want things to work; they want them to be beautiful.

* Social Magnetism:

There is often a natural “pull” to their personality. They tend to be charming and persuasive, not through force, but through a gentle, welcoming energy that makes others feel seen and valued.

The Rhetoric of a Friday Child

In the world of communication and persuasion (rhetoric), a Friday child leans heavily into Pathos—the appeal to emotion. Here is how they typically “speak” to the world:
