Everyone from brides and grooms to movie studio execs are celebrating the upcoming calendrical anomaly in their own way.
In Florida, at least one county clerk's office is offering a one-day wedding special for $99.99. The rarity of this Sept. 9 hasn't been lost on the creators of the iPod, who have moved their traditional Tuesday release day to Wednesday to take advantage of the special date. Focus Features is releasing their new film "9," an animated tale about the apocalypse, on the 9th.
Not only does the date look good in marketing promotions, but it also represents the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we'll see for almost a century (until January 1, 2101), or a millennium (mark your calendars for January 1, 3001), depending on how you want to count it.
Though technically there's nothing special about the symmetrical date, some concerned with the history and meaning of numbers ascribe powerful significance to 09/09/09.
For cultures in which the number nine is lucky, Sept. 9 is anticipated – while others might see the date as an ominous warning.
Math magic
Modern numerologists — who operate outside the realm of real science — believe that mystical significance or vibrations can be assigned to each numeral one through nine, and different combinations of the digits produce tangible results in life depending on their application.
As the final numeral, the number nine holds special rank. It is associated with forgiveness, compassion and success on the positive side as well as arrogance and self-righteousness on the negative, according to numerologists.
Though usually discredited as bogus, numerologists do have a famous predecessor to look to. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician and father of the famous theorem, is also credited with popularizing numerology in ancient times.
"Pythagoras most of all seems to have honored and advanced the study concerned with numbers, having taken it away from the use of merchants and likening all things to numbers," wrote Aristoxenus, an ancient Greek historian, in the 4th century B.C.
As part of his obsession with numbers both mathematically and divine, and like many mathematicians before and since, Pythagoras noted that nine in particular had many unique properties.
Any grade-schooler could tell you, for example, that the sum of the two-digits resulting from nine multiplied by any other single-digit number will equal nine. So 9x3=27, and 2+7=9.
Multiply nine by any two, three or four-digit number and the sums of those will also break down to nine. For example: 9x62 = 558; 5+5+8=18; 1+8=9.
Sept. 9 also happens to be the 252nd day of the year (2 + 5 +2)...
Loving 9
Both China and Japan have strong feelings about the number nine. Those feelings just happen to be on opposite ends of the spectrum.
The Chinese pulled out all the stops to celebrate their lucky number eight during last year's Summer Olympics, ringing the games in at 8 p.m. on 08/08/08. What many might not realize is that nine comes in second on their list of auspicious digits and is associated with long life, due to how similar its pronunciation is to the local word for long-lasting (eight sounds like wealth).
Historically, ancient Chinese emperors associated themselves closely with the number nine, which appeared prominently in architecture and royal dress, often in the form of nine fearsome dragons. The imperial dynasties were so convinced of the power of the number nine that the palace complex at Beijing's Forbidden City is rumored to have been built with 9,999 rooms.
Japanese emperors would have never worn a robe with nine dragons, however.
In Japanese, the word for nine is a homophone for the word for suffering, so the number is considered highly unlucky – second only to four, which sounds like death.
Many Japanese will go so far as to avoid room numbers including nine at hotels or hospitals, if the building planners haven't already eliminated them altogether.
Now, the point of this copy/paste material is not to point out the specifics of such a historical date, but to ask a certain question.
Is there really anything special surrounding this triple digit number? If one takes a gander at the number itself, it does seem to have a cosmic relevance to it.
This youtube video shows a brief description as to why it is cosmically relevant:
This video seems to suggest that a cosmic gateway comes into play on this specific date.
Now, if this were accurate, wouldn't the physical body feel a change of some sort? Since apparently all chakra including the kundalini centers be open for enterance by a cosmic radiance of some sort.
It would seem that if this theory were accurate, the planet would be going through a world wide phenomenon of good moods as well as balanced minds. A sort of enlightenment for a 24 hour period.
I would like to know the Raves thoughts on this significant date, since it only comes once every.. Well, only once in our immediate lives.
What do you think is so significant about this number and or this date? All opinions matter. Turn this into a discussion or debate. This is what threads are for.
Very interesting i do think there is a system involving numbers to existence of what we know of it, some type of code which everything works like clockwork, like some sort of program on a computer, it sounds weird but our planet seems so perfect
The reason our planet is so perfect is becausewe have beings which civilizations remounts billions of years, and this is one of the designed marvels, sanctuary to all our fauna and flora and wonderous life, As geometry and mathematics,well that is the language of the physical dimension from maxroscale to the micro. Matrix hit right in the nail our current status. We don't know anything from anything because we are kept from it for a purpose, it remounts to another genius plan in the creation process by Anu himself and the reincarnation process, since we are infinite spiritual beings.
Nothing special about it...they said the same thing on6/6/06 7/7/07 and 8/8/08....nothing to get overly excited about.I'm sure next year when it is 10/10/10 people will make a big deal about it.So,nothing magical,nothing mystical about the numbers.Much like other things...if you read something into it...it gives it power.
Well, my day was pretty "weird". The plumber didn't show. The school called me early and scared me as I thought something happened to my kid but it turns out they want to put him in advanced 6th grade classes and had him call me to give the okay. I was late to pick up the lil ones and found parking!!!
I think it is just another day and that there is no significance to it. Why do we need special days in which to reflect on our existence or to celebrate life? These are things which should be done on a daily basis.
Now, now kids. Play nicely or I will send you to ~Billythejust~.
~Billythejust~ is quite right in his assumption. Light workers will know what to do, since we are knowledged in what to look for throughout days such as this.
I had quite the day myself, or at least the time I participated anywho. My dreams were spectacular to say the least. The comfort zone feeling was amazing. This does not happen very often, but when one knows what to do and what to look for, extraordinary things can make the differance.
I'm guessing it's gotta do with the balance of things.. It's a day when things are supposed to be "balanced" out in the heavens, as well as on earth.. my life path number is 9, so I'm hoping it worked some kinda charm on me.. *smilez*
I don't know. It is interesting and all but the only thing I experienced was a day spent with my brother which doesn't happen often. Subtle vibrations are not always felt by all. Perhaps he won the lottery, lol. He bought tickets last night. I didn't see it being anymore significant than any other day except what some wanted to read into it similar to the millenium doomsday scare. I am afraid in this area, I am a total skeptic, other than it might reinforce the energy of the significance of that number and how it affects others. I don't believe it would have been any momentus thing. Cool the numbers came together and numbers, various ones have before and everyone gets mystical about it and the day passes like any other day. (IMHO)
