Once again we must prepare ourselves for the dreaded Friday the thirteenth! Are you taking any chances on this day of fright and fear? If so, you are clearly not superstitious, nor do you suffer from the pathological fear of Friday 13. As, in 2009 we have three Friday 13, February, March and November.
In 2007, 13th April, Friday we met an accident and a serious one, three of our friends injured badly when we are coming back from Khadakvasla Lake after some sort of party. Till that I hardly believed on the Friday 13th impact. But from then I had something in my mind about that day. So a lot of people think Friday 13 is an unlucky day,so as me after that day, but why? To answer this, there are few questions we must first ask ourselves about the luck of Friday the thirteenth:
Also when you read about the history of Friday 13th, there were few incident that tell you about this day. Now tell you a bit about both Friday and 13.
13 : Thirteen, a goddess number, is one beyond beyond twelve, and, in the eyes of the new "solar" world order, symbolised a move away from harmony and completion into the "evil" of chaos (read: the feminine). The ill-fated Apollo 13 Moon mission boldly took this in their stride when the mission was launched at 13:13 hours Houston time, from pad 39 (13x3) and had to be aborted on April 13, 1970. Apollo, you might remember, is the name of the ancient Græco-Roman Sun god, so in this light, the number 13 was sure to be more than a little problematic.
Friday : Friday is still the "sabbath" of the Moslems (although it is a day of prayer, rather than rest). Many cultures perceive it to be the best day for marriage, since it is ruled by Venus, the fertile goddess. During the Middle Ages, however, when pagan worship of Freya still survived in the high places, stone circles and wooded groves, the churchmen declared her day to be the day of "devil worship".
Now when we had 3 such Friday's, fear among many people, what is going to happen in their life on that day. As most of them already sick of this recession, I am sure many people are thinking about the same, what is going in my mind right now. Might be they are fired by the company that day. If lucky on first Friday, don't worry their are two more such Friday in the very same year.
Some people won't go to work on Friday the 13th, some won't eat in restaurants, many wouldn't think of setting a wedding on the date. Its not just because of phobia, their might be something else related to that. Let me tell you something that makes you think a bit about this day.
After every 4800 months, the pattern follows. So in 4800 months when someone notice the distribution of the day 13, its Friday who had maximum number of occurrences with 688 times.
Friday the 13th is actually unlucky for some of us. Psychologists have found that people are especially likely to have accidents or fall ill on Friday 13th, due (according to them!) to a heightened state of anxiety on that day. And proves unlucky for others as many makes their mind, that something going to happen bad for them and do something that's not affordable.
So, it better not to think about that. If something going to happen, that will. One can't do anything to stop that. But if someone think so deeply about anything, their might be more chance for that thing to happen, or more worse.

To answer this, there are few questions we must first ask ourselves about the luck of Friday the thirteenth:
- Why Friday?
- And why the thirteenth?
- Most important of all, is it really unlucky?
- Or Just a phobia?
