命理學家稱光棍節並非結婚吉日

Nov. 11, 2011 is turning out to be a notable date for two reasons: The fact that it will be celebrated in the US as Veteran's Day and because when it is written numerically it comes out as 11/11/11.

The date is also proving to be a big one for weddings.

It sounds lucky to marry on a day with multiple elevens, but not necessarily, according to numerologist Hans Decoz, who says the date may not be as lucky as some people are presuming.

"Yes, there are lots of 11s, but all the numbers added together equal 8," Decoz told The Huffington Post. "The energy from '11' is very family-oriented and it conflicts with the '8' energy, which is more financially-oriented.

As a result, Decoz claims emotions will be running high on 11/11/11, bringing about a tendency to be possessive or melodramatic.

"Our feelings will be floating right on the surface, so they could take a turn for the worse at any moment -- small misunderstandings can turn into huge catastrophes if we don't keep this in check," he said. "Definitely, don't deal with money any more than necessary."

While the numbers game makes for a good story, Eric Carlson, a physics professor at Wake Forest University and an admitted numerology skeptic, has a number of reasons why 11/11/11 is not particular special, other than the fact that writing it out numerically might look neat.

"There is nothing supernatural about this date," he emphasized to The Huffington Post. "Our brains are just pattern matching machines, so we tend to notice patterns like that. If you happen to glance at the clock and it's 11:11, you will remember that --these patterns stick in our minds. But I don't think there is any mystical significance to it."

Still, Professor Carlson does concede there are two significant aspects about 11/11/11 that can be construed as lucky even by people like him who don't believe in numerology.

"It is a Friday -- a day hailed by workers," he said, adding that many people will have the day off because of the Veteran's Day holiday.

Even Decoz concedes that numerology probably isn't the real reason why some couples are picking the wedding date.

"I think they just want a date that's easy for the man to remember," he said.2011年11月11日成爲重要日期有兩個原因：一是當天爲美國老兵紀念日；二是這一天用數字寫起來是11/11/11。

這一天還是個重要的結婚吉日。

在有數個“11”的一天結婚聽起來很幸運，但也未必。數字命理學家漢斯•德科茲表示，這一天也許沒有很多人預想的那麼幸運。

德科茲在新聞博客網站《赫芬頓郵報》上說：“是的，這一天有很多11，但是這一天的數字之和等於8。‘11’這個數字的能量以家庭爲導向，而‘8’更傾向於金錢導向，兩者有衝突。”

因此，德科茲表示，2011年11月11日當天人們會熱情高漲，帶動起人們的佔有慾，這一天也會更像一出情景劇。

他說：“我們的感情會溢於言表，因此也可能隨時變糟，如果不注意控制情緒，小小的誤解就會闖下大禍。當然，在這一天，如果不是必須，不要和錢打交道。”

儘管這一天從數字上看起來是個吉日，但維克森林大學的物理學教授兼公認的數字命理懷疑論者埃瑞克•卡爾森有很多理由來證明2011年11月11日只是普通的一天，儘管寫起來這個日期看上去非常簡潔。

他在《赫芬頓郵報》上強調指出：“這一天沒什麼神奇的。我們大腦是模式匹配機器，因此我們更容易注意到這樣的模式。如果你恰好看錶，又正好是11點11分，你就會記住它，這種模式在我們的意識里根深蒂固。但我不認爲有什麼神祕可言。”

但卡爾森教授仍然勉強同意，甚至像他這樣不相信數字命理學的人也得承認，這一天有兩個可以稱之爲幸運的因素。

他說：“這一天是週五，員工們都很喜歡。”他補充說還有很多人在“老兵紀念日”這天還可以放假。
