In the study of Gematria and numerology, time durations between significant events are often analyzed to find patterns or "synchronicities." This tool allows researchers to quickly calculate the exact number of days, weeks, and months between any two dates on the Gregorian calendar.
Key Features of Date Calculation:
The "End Date" Rule: In many numerological traditions, calculations are performed both including and excluding the final day. Including the end date treats the final day as a "full day" in the span.
Total Days: This is the primary metric used in gematria analysis, often reduced via numerology or compared to specific patterns (like 119, 227, or 322).
YMD Breakdown: Helps identify "anniversary" patterns or specific spans involving whole years and months.
Example Calculation:
If you select a Start Date of January 1, 2023 and an End Date of March 22, 2023:
Excluding End Date: 80 days.
Including End Date: 81 days (which is 9×9, a significant square number in numerology).
Breakdown: 2 months and 21 days.

// YMD Breakdown Logic

var d2Plus = new Date(d2);

m2 = d2Plus.getMonth();

var prevMonth = new Date(y2, m2, 0);

}
if (months < 0) {
years–;
months += 12;
}
document.getElementById("ymdFormat").innerText = years + "y, " + months + "m, " + days + "d";
// Total Months (approx)
var totalMonths = (years * 12) + months + (days / 30.44);
