The once-in-a-century date, which won’t be seen again on our calenders until Dec. 31, 2123, marks a new beginning. One, that asks us to “transform and evolve with the times and in the right place to embrace what is coming to us,” according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac website.
The date has also sparked an online trend, with TikTok users creating videos on the significance of the number and merchandise commemorating the date selling online, including on platforms like Amazon, eBay and Etsy, the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA Today Network reported.
Here’s what we know about the date.
What does 12/31/23 signify within numerology?
Numerology is an ancient esoteric science that deals with numbers and letters and the energy, intention and vibration behind them, professional numerologist Novalee Wilder shared with USA Today earlier this month.
"Before there was even language, there were numbers," she said. "Before we had named things, we had counted them, and we had assigned meaning to that count."
The numbers that make up the angel number are just as important as the whole number, especially when you are trying to determine the vibration and intention behind the number.
Professional astrologer Narayana Montúfar told Farmer’s Almanac that the “Number 1 brings the very spark of initiation, 2 focuses on building, and 3 is related to the concept of creation. Together, the sequence of these three numbers speaks of the spark of initiation that seeks to build a new creation.”
If you add all the numbers that make up the date 123123 together, you will come up with 12.
The number 12 in numerology can symbolize spiritual enlightenment, with potential for the day to deliver epiphanies and “aha” moments for individuals and society at large, the website stated.
