This superstition suggests that when someone reaches an age in which both digits of the number are the same (e.g., 11, 22, 33, 44), they are likely to experience a significant personal transformation or life event during that year. The belief does not specify what type of change—whether positive or negative—but implies that it will be meaningful and potentially turn the individual onto a new life path. This coincides with the symbolic importance placed on numbers in many cultures. People may mark these ages by setting intentions, taking personal risks, or making important life decisions under the assumption that fate is more active during such years. Some cultures view these ages as turning points, ripe for reflection or spiritual reassessment.
