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 magicModern 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)...
