Have you ever wished you could be a fly on the wall, listening in as people truly get to know each other? That’s what Portraits by Paula Mac is all about.
We go beyond the exterior—the roles we play, the careers we chase, the cultures we carry. All of that shapes us, yes, but I’m curious about who we are when it’s all stripped away.
Each episode is a conversation that brings out the whole picture: what we show the world, what we’d rather hide, and the subtle truths in between. Through these personal stories of struggle, success, & insights, we search for what really makes us feel fulfilled.
What if numbers weren’t just data, but a language shaping who we are, the choices we make, and the cycles we move through?
In this insightful episode of Portraits by Paula, Paula sits down with Astro Numerologist Monica Gupta, based in Dubai, to explore how numerology and astrology intersect with identity, timing, and life direction.
Monica shares her personal journey from a small town in India to building a multi-layered career in Dubai, combining numerology, astrology, vastu, business, and intuitive guidance. Together, they unpack how numbers influence personality, destiny, relationships, career paths, health patterns, and even entire countries.
The conversation moves deeply into the energy of 2026, a universal Year One ruled by the Sun, marking the beginning of a new nine-year cycle. Monica explains what this shift means collectively and individually, from leadership changes and technological evolution to personal growth, discipline, and new beginnings.
This episode is not about prediction or superstition. It is about awareness. About understanding cycles, energy, and responsibility, and learning how to work with life instead of against it.
A grounding and expansive listen for anyone curious about numerology, astrology, manifestation, and how to move into the next chapter of life with clarity and intention.
