Eek! Today is 10 10 10!

What does it mean? October 10, 2010? 10 10 10?

The Chinese are especially aware of special dates. It turns out that 10-10-10 is an especially auspicious date for marriage for the Chinese. In an online article entitled, Be Careful about Meaning 10 10 10, I learned that even though it is a Sunday, the marriage registrars’ offices throughout China will open early in an attempt to handle the tidal wave of marriage registrants expected on 10-10-10. Speaking of tidal waves, the article also says that there is also a negative side of 10-10-10 in the Chinese way of looking at numbers having to do with water. And, perhaps not coincidentally, China is presently dealing with a lot of flash floods and resultant landslides.

In another online article entitled, Is There Symbolic Meaning to the Date 10 10 10? Part 2, by intuitive Estee Taschereau, I learned that in classic numerology the number 10 is a number of completion. She also mentions the Biblical reference to the number 10 as usually having to do with rules and judgments such as the 10 Commandments and the 10 Plagues.

Does 10/10/10 have anything to do with 12 21 2012? I doubt it. But, if you want to know more about 2012 predictions, I’ll be speaking at Book ‘Em next Saturday, October 16th at Waynesboro, Virginia on 2012 and the End of the World.
