12:12 12/12/12

Wowzers! This is something that only occurs twice every 100 years! (Once at 12:12am and once at 12:12pm.) That is pretty awesome in my opinion!

I posted on 11/11 about how 11:11 had significance and some of it's meanings. I decided to do the same here on 12/12/12.

Here is what I've found: 

"It’s the century’s last sequential date. For some, it represents luck. For others, it’s a day of romance. For most of us, it’s just another Wednesday. Regardless of your beliefs, 12/12/12 comes along with some rather amusing facts and superstitions."

"Cognitive scientists have demonstrated that our brains are hard-wired to look for meaningful patterns in the sensory data it collects from the world," said Alan Lenzi, professor of religious studies at University of the Pacific. "Numbers that are already significant to us, such as calendar dates, that also coincidentally fall into an obvious pattern become doubly significant,"

"There are plenty of auspicious associations with the number 12: the months in a year on contemporary calendars; 12 traditional zodiac signs; 12 Olympic gods and goddesses in Greek mythology. Jesus had 12 apostles.

"12/12/12 is one of "energetic significance," according to numerologist Stephanie Sterling. She says that when all the numbers in the date are added up one by one -- 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 2 -- they equal 11, which is a very powerful number."This is a game-changing day. It's a day of intuition and peace, like we are walking through a door of peace," she said."

"In Hong Kong and Singapore, couples are crowding the aisles for a chance to tie the knot on a day they say symbolizes love. Las Vegas is also abuzz with nuptials."

"An Indian numerologist said today is a great day to start a new business venture."

"For some, the day will be anything but joyful. Many doomsdayers believe 12/12/12 will be the end of the world, thanks to an interpretation of the Mayan calendar. But, most of the end-of-the-world believers are convinced that the actual doomsday is on 12/21/12, when the Mayan calendar is set to end."

So, tell me. What kind of a day is it to you? One of luck? Or one of Doom?

I'm going with luck. I could always use a little bit extra.

I know what I'm hoping for today.
