The upcoming date of February 22 is a rare “palindrome” day. Many couples are choosing this date to get married, and business professionals are selecting it to sign contracts.
The Straits Times reports that nearly 500 couples in Singapore are planning to hold their weddings on February 22, 2022, a date considered special and lucky due to the identical numbers. This number is nine times higher than usual.
The publication explains that many young Singaporeans are choosing February 22 this year for their weddings because it only occurs once, making the wedding day even more special.
Wedding planners also indicate that many people select February 22 as their wedding date because it is an easy-to-remember anniversary and is regarded as an auspicious day.
February 22, 2022, is a good day for construction, burial, and especially for business.
This year, February 22 is referred to as Palindrome Day – a term that refers to numbers that read the same forwards and backwards.
In English, there are also words that are “palindromes” – reading the same both ways, such as “mom” or “dad.”
Not only do Singaporeans, but Eastern cultures in general, especially the Chinese, view this day as one that brings success and good fortune because it consists entirely of even numbers.
According to Eastern culture, the number 2 symbolizes harmony and balance, as both its written and spoken forms contain two parallel lines – “二” – which is a symbol of balance in Asian culture.
The Vietnam Center for Feng Shui Research and Application states that February 22, 2022, is not only a good day for marriage but also favorable for construction, burial, and especially for business. However, in business collaborations and contract signings, it is essential to thoroughly research partners to avoid internal conflicts.
Two years ago, on February 2, 2020, was also a remarkably rare day. Scientists noted that February 2, 2020, was the first occurrence in 909 years since November 11, 1111, and it will be another 101 years until the next such date.
The human brain tends to seek out special repeating patterns, and many believe that days with such unique numbers are particularly lucky.
