Numerologists and astrologers are having a field day making predictions about how today the ninth day of the ninth month of the ninth year of the century may be good for you, or bad The once-in-a-century occurrence of the date 09-09-09 is keeping city numerologists and their followers busy.
Many are those who believe that it's their lucky day. The first ever KPL tournament will be launched on this supposedly auspicious day, giving Karnataka boys a new platform to showcase their cricketing talent.
Then there is Hollywood director Shane Acker, whose action-packed animated fantasy epic '9' will be released worldwide today. His short film of the same name was nominated for an Academy Award in 2005.
A random survey undertaken by MiD DAY of some of the predictions indicate that the 'special' date is something of a mixed bag, depending on who you are. For instance, the experts claim that it's good news for childless couples, as they can easily get children if they worship (pinda pradhana) their forefathers as this is the prime season to get offspring.
Love life is bound to flourish after any date that has the three same digits, say the experts, though they failed to specify whether it applies to all. Curiously, they predict that internal clashes between seers will lead to the public losing faith in them. They also point to a drastic change in politics after the month of December, which according to numerology, will have its effect on society.
