December 31st
As the world eagerly awaits the arrival of 2024 on December 31, a unique date configuration adds an extra layer of significance to the occasion. In countries like India, the date is written in the date/month/year format, but in the US and other nations, it follows the month/date/year format. In the US style, December 31, 2023, becomes 12/31/23 or simply, 123123. This sequence holds a special numerical charm as the last time it occurred was in 1923, and it won’t repeat until December 31, 2123.
Highlighting the rarity of this date, Google India shared a visual on Instagram, stating, “Did you know: The last time this happened was in 1923 and the next time will be in 2123.”

Delving into the significance of 123123, the caption explains its unique appeal in numerology. The repeated 123 sequences are seen as a day with a double message, symbolizing unity and offering insights into the future. Numerologists often refer to such sequences as “angel numbers,” considering them guides for spiritual exploration.
Astrologer Narayana Montúfar, cited by the Old Farmer’s Almanac, interprets the sequence as powerful. “Number 1 brings the spark of initiation, 2 focuses on building, and 3 is related to the concept of creation. Together, they speak of the initiation of a significant creation. Since this sequence won’t happen again for a hundred years, whatever is being created now is something BIG!”
Montúfar suggests that the sequence on 12/31/23 serves as a ‘mental preparation’ for a year that will bring a new energetic landscape, almost as if it’s signaling, “Okay, let’s get ready for this, 123…123!”
Adding to the intrigue, when 123123 is added, it equals 12, a Master Number associated with spiritual enlightenment. The day is anticipated to bring epiphanies and “aha” moments for individuals and the collective, according to astrological insights.
As the world bids farewell to 2023, Google marked the occasion with an animated vibrant doodle, symbolizing the transition from the past year to the anticipation of a new beginning in 2024.
