How often you see it
This minute comes round once a day. If you check your phone 186 times a day, at random between 7 am and 11 pm, you land on 21:12 once every 5.2 days.
Your habits matter more than chance: if you pick up your phone at the same time every day, you'll see it far more often. That still leaves the one time it made you look up, right at that moment: no amount of counting can explain that one for you.

And the angel of 21:12?
In Lazare Lenain's table (1823), each of the 72 spirits rules twenty minutes of the day, starting at midnight. 21:12 falls in slot 64 of 72, from 21:00 to 21:20.
That book gives a schedule, without a word about the time you see, and it was written long before digital clocks. So we don't show a name or a message, which takes nothing away from those who hold them dear.
What you can do with it
Treat it as a one-second pause: what are you doing right now? And if you want a number of your own, your personal day changes every morning.
