Palindrome day 22-02-2022 is special. Here's why
What's the story
Did you notice that today's date is kind of unique? It is 22.02.2022. Now read the digits backward.
That's correct, it reads exactly the same, forming what is known as a palindrome.
Palindromes are numbers, words, or sentences, which read the same forward and backward.
Palindromes can be found in our everyday life, like the words Malayalam, Madam, or the names Nitin, or Anna.

Coincidence?
This is really freaky. Wisconsin gets huge ice storms exactly 100 years apart on exact days that are palindromes. #palindromedrama pic.twitter.com/Q5AUFNIhAj

Now read the numbers in digital clock font upside down
Even with varying date formats, today's date is a palindrome in every possible way.
In the DD/MM/YYYY format today's date, 22/02/2022, is not only a palindrome but also an ambigram, i.e., it can be read the same way forward and backward, and also upside down.
Even the shorthand versions of the date are also palindromes and ambigrams—22.2.22 and 2.22.22!

The number '2' holds spiritual significance
Some say seeing 222 in dreams, indicates that one is about to experience some kind of spiritual enlightenment.
While many others believe that 222 signifies the omnipresence of God.
Some believe in Angel numbers, like 2:22 pm or like today's date.
Angel numbers do not just work in terms of digits, but also hearing similar sounding words of "two" might indicate the same meaning.

Angel numbers
Angel numbers occur with repeated digits.
"Numbers in a repeating pattern possess a spiritual meaning which can serve as reminders, warnings, or messages from the universe.
"When an angel number shows up as a date it means you can expect messages related to a specific area of life on that day," explains Dr. Madhu Kotiya, numerologist and psychic healer.

"This is a day where you will feel extreme emotion or connect with somebody or with your own intuition."
"There can be a sense of unity among all the souls and this is the right time to work on your intuition," says Dr. Madhu Kotiya.
