Wednesday 12/12/12…….!!!!!

 

 

 

 

12/12/12 represents the Apocalypse for some and a new beginning for others.

Astrologists and conspiracy mongers have added another ominous date to the list of foreseen doom — December 12.

December 12, 2012, or 12/12/12, is the last date for the next 88 years when every number will be the same. At 12:12 a.m. and p.m. there will be five repeats of the number, six if you care to watch the clock tick until it reaches 12 seconds.

 

 

 

In fact, thousands of couples around the world have booked their wedding dates in the middle of the week just to get hitched on a the once in a lifetime date, according to several wedding planning agencies.

Paul McCartney will also perform at a benefit concert for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts scheduled for the rare date.

The Astronomical Society of the Pacific has declared the Dec. 12 "Anti-Doomsday Day," and posted a slogan to its website that says "take back the calendar!"

"We are declaring December 12, 2012 as Anti-Doomsday Day in celebration of rational thinking and reasoned discourse," the organization posted on its website.

Though the society did point out other neat facts about the number to which we've attributed so much significance this year.

"Mars is 12 light minutes from the Sun, the average temperature of the Earth is 12 degrees Celsius, and Jupiter takes 12 years to orbit the Sun," it wrote

 

 

Maybe, say numerologists, who are mixed on what the day portends.

Today is 12-12-12, the last major numerical date using the Gregorian or Christian calendar for almost another century. The next time three numbers will align as they did on 9-9-09, 10-10-10 and 11-11-11 will be on Jan. 1, 3001, or 1-1-1.

"It's just a cute day," said Underwood Dudley, a retired professor of mathematics at DePauw University in Greencastle, Ind., and author of "Numerology."

"Maybe we ought to look out for the end of the world," he said. "Other than that, it's just a number. The delusion of numerologists is that numbers have a power over events, but they don't. Just because it's 12-12-12 doesn't mean anything will happen. It would happen anyway."

But Scott Petullo, a Las Vegas-based numerologist who turned his expertise in handwriting analysis and astrology from a hobby into a profession, is a believer, even though he knows others might view him as a "new-age whacko, charlatan or snake-oil salesman."

 

 

The date 12-12-12 is said to be an auspicious calendar number.

He said the day can be "auspicious or challenging, based on other factors, such as how the patterns in a person's comprehensive charts harmonize with the date."

Today's date also comes nine days before the Maya calendar's end of its 5,000-year cycle, which has inspired talk of an impending doomsday Dec. 21, 2012, although not among modern-day Maya.

Petullo says it "won't happen."

Overall, he said, there are more positives associated with 12-12-12 than negatives.

Generally, the number 12 is easier than, say, 2, 7 or 9, and is associated with "enjoyment, emotions, creative expression, sadness, rejuvenation and rebirth."

"There is a lot of talk about 11-11-11 and 12-12-12 and the Mayan calendar," Petullo said. "People are under the false impression that we will ascend into a new age. I don't think that happens. It's a doorway to a different dimension, but it doesn't erase the self-karma you still have to work through."

Still, he said the world is going through a transition from the 20th to the 21st centuries. "We are getting used to that energy," he said.

As 2012 closes, he predicts "we are moving to a better place. ... We are starting to get used to the 2000s now.

"Things are starting to have more clarity," he said. "More optimism is coming in. I think in the long term, this country is very optimistic."

In the simplest terms, double digits like 12-12-12 and 10-10-10 and master double digits like 11, 22 and 44 can be a time "to access to the other side," Petullo said. "There is double energy."

"Other-dimensional energy abounds; the veil between this everyday world and the spiritual dimensions is more easily pierced," he said. "The window to the higher planes is opened temporarily, more so on some dates and times than on others."

But numerologists are less impressed with today than with Dec. 12, 2019, which has a "stronger vibration," Petullo said.

That date is actually expressed as 12-12-12 because the year, 2019, is 2+0+1+9 = 12. The last such "12" date was Dec. 12, 1920, and before that 1911.

For numerologists, today's date is really expressed as 12-12-5 because the year, 2012, is 2+0+1+2=5.

 

Well for me it was a busy but good.
