"These ladder days" began by noting the coincidence that both March 15 and January 16 -- my own birthday and the birthday of someone else who randomly mentioned it to me -- are illustrated with ladders in The Secret Language of Birthdays. Shortly after publishing the original post, complete with the "ladder days" pun, I listened to a podcast and heard a person who goes by Latter-day Chad say that he was born on the 116th day of the year, synching with the 1/16 birthday. The 116th day is usually April 26, but if Latter-day Chad happens to have been born in a leap year, that's another sync, for April 25 is also illustrated with a ladder in The Secret Language.
That seems like an awful lot of "ladder days," so I paged through the whole book to see just how many such days there are. Only five. Here they are in the order in which they appear in the book (which begins with the first day of Aries rather than with January 1).
There are only five "ladder days," and three of them have already figured in these syncs. That naturally makes me wonder whether any coincidences relating to April 16 and March 12 are about to appear.
As I mentioned, The Secret Language orders the days according to the zodiac rather than the Gregorian calendar, beginning with March 21. This morning, in an additional sync, I was asked to introduce the 12 signs of the zodiac to the preschool kids, including the girl whose January 16 birthday started this whole thing. It was a surprising request; it doesn't seem like the sort of thing preschoolers really need to know.
