I've been thinking about posting this wacky thread for quite some time, dedicated to the Numerology patterns that *might* exist in past and future significant tropical cyclone dates. Unlike my oddball Chinese Zodiac posts, this will be a single thread where we can talk about 2023 and beyond, as well as look back in time. Before we get into the fun of looking for "significant numbers" in dates and such, I will give y'all an introduction to this esoteric stuff... Disclaimer... This is for fun and entertainment only! Not for forecast!...
I will try to be brief: Numerology in a nutshell is the study of the supposed occult influence of numbers on ourselves and the world around us. This stuff has its foundation on the numbers 1 thru 9, from which we can get all the other numbers, which also repeat every 9 numbers. For example the number 10 that comes after 9 returns to the cycle of 1, and so does 19, 28, 37 etc. We can see which base number exists within the number by adding its digits until a single digit is left, or in some cases until a double-digit repeat number like 11 or 22 (master numbers) is left. For example, in the case of the number 10, we get 1+0 = 1. For the number 19, we can see 1+9 = 10, and 1+0 = 1. Both 10 and 19 are part of the base 1... however every number is also regarded as being unique, so even though 10 and 19 are base 1, they are not exactly alike but simply have many things in common related to the number 1. Those who practice Numerology also have special regard for repdigit numbers like 11, 22 and 33 and do not reduce them to 2, 4, or 6 respectively when encountered, thus they are called "master numbers" and are said to carry an extra amount of energy related to their base number and digits. Basically if we encounter a sum that yields 11 or 22 or 33, we should leave it alone as such. Also, if we add an 11, 22 or 33 to other numbers, we could either add digit-by-digit and/or add the 11 or 22 whole, unlike the rest of the numbers which should only be added digit-by-digit. That's basically how Numerology works, it is by performing addition or seeing a number in plain sight... no multiplication, division or subtraction. (This is what I have grasped after reading books/sites on the matter for over two decades).
*Date Numerology, pertinent to this thread: This is how the numbers of a date are found, and in fact there are several numbers we can get for a single date, 10 of these to be exact. Each number is found via sums of parts of the date or the whole date itself. It is important to note that some calculations have much more significance than others. The biggest one is the sum of the complete date in mm/dd/yyyy format (called the life-path number by many Numerologers). After this would be the whole date sum but in mm/dd/yy form instead, and then the sum of the month + day and then the number of the day itself (these two are practically equally-important). After this we get less-significant sums of the month+day, and sum of the year's digits at the end. You could say there is a hierarchy to these sums, and these are them in order from greatest to lesser significance:
1.) mm/dd/yyyy = m+m+d+d+y+y+y+y
2.) mm/dd/yy = m+m+d+d+y+y
3.) mm/dd = m+m+d+d
4.) Day #
5.) dd/yyyy = d+d+y+y+y+y
6.) dd/yy = d+d+y+y
7.) mm/yyyy = m+m+y+y+y+y
8.) mm/yy = m+m+y+y
9.) Month #
10.) year sum = yyyy = y+y+y+y
So basically now I find myself on Andrew's eve anniversary talking about this weird number wizardry with you all. Lets use today's date as an example to see what numbers we can get:
08/23/2023:
1.) 08/23/2023 = 0+8+2+3+2+0+2+3 = 20... The most significant numerology number for today.
2.) 08/23/23 = 0+8+2+3+2+3 = 18... the 2nd most important numerology number sum for today.
3.) 08/23 = 0+8+2+3 = 13.
4.) Day 23... the 23rd of the month.
5.) 23/2023 = 2+3+2+0+2+3 = 12... For all 23rd days of 2023.
6.) 23/'23 = 2+3+2+3 = 10... For all 23rd days of '23.
7.) 08/2023 = 0+8+2+0+2+3 = 15... For all Aug 2023
8.) 08/'23 = 0+8+2+3 = 13... For all Aug '23.
9.) Month 08... For all of August.
10.) 2023 = 2+0+2+3 = 7... For all 2023.
As you can see in today's example, the numbers 20, 18, 13 and 23 itself are the 4 most significant numerology numbers for this particular date. As was mentioned earlier above, each number is also unique so instead of reducing the 20 to '2' or the 18 to '9', its more 'exact' if we leave these numbers like this. The same goes for the other numbers. Once we get to the 5th sum and onwards you can see that the resulting number is less specific to just today's date, but instead now becomes more generalized like for the 23rds of the month, and then for the whole month or year... these would be the overall less-significant numerology numbers for today's date. The 5th sum would be the more significant of these lesser sums, where the whole day 23 was added to the whole year 2023.
Now that you've all seen how these calculations were made for today, now we can talk about seeing if there really are numbers that tend to come up more often during big tropical cyclone dates (as well as other big natural event days for that matter). The first 5 numerology sums will usually reveal the big numbers for the date. What are these "big numbers" you might be wondering... well it appears that if there's any pattern to this crazy stuff, it would be that we get three numerology "phenomenons", the 11-25 phenomenon, the 1-7-8-9 phenomenon & the 13-22 phenomenon. Basically a high incidence of the numbers 11/25, and/or incidence of numbers 1/7/8/9 and their multiples, and/or the incidence of the numbers 13 and 22 within the same date's numerology sum. There may be other "patterns", and there also may not be any "patterns" at all, but these three "phenomenons" are something I've noticed a lot with the dates of events and tropical cyclones reaching their peak, local time of course.
The first such "pattern" to be introduced is possibly the most crazy one, it has to do with the number 25!
Part of the 11/25 Phenomenon, the number 25 does come up quite a bit in the most significant mm/dd/yyyy & mm/dd/yy sums of big hurricane/typhoon days! The image below depicts the dates during which some of these wild storms were at or near their peak and many of these also struck land at those intensities...
These were some very infamous storms too! Coincidence? Perhaps most likely, but this sure makes for an interesting thread IMO.
Those were the dates of the storms' peak or near peaks and many of these struck land on those dates too. This goes for hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons too.
Most of these 25's were found in the most significant mm/dd/yyyy & mm/dd/yy sums for the dates of these storms, local time.
The next two '25 dates' are August 28, 2023 & September 9, 2023.
For the record, this thread is for fun, speculation and entertainment purposes only! Not for forecasting! Not every such number dates will bring events either! All questions and comments are welcome!
Will be interesting to see if any of these type of dates line up with future modeled storms though
