Let’s talk about angel numbers … Are you still seeing the same numbers everywhere? You may be receiving an important message.
You might see the same four digits on your phone’s clock when you check the time, on the bill when you pay for dinner, in a new friend’s phone number in your contacts, or even in a house’s address when you glance at it while walking around your neighborhood. Surely, seeing the same number patterns over and over again can’t mean anything… right?
Well, it may sound a little far-fetched, but some astrologers believe that certain numerical patterns that keep randomly appearing in our lives are actually hidden messages from the universe, also known as angel numbers.
If you believe in the magic of synchronicity, then angel numbers can be part of those random coincidences that seem like more than just a number. Numerology has been part of esoteric circles for millennia, so it still holds sway in our modern world.
What are angel numbers?
Angel numbers are simply repeating number patterns that you keep seeing randomly in your life.
Angel numbers are a series of repeating numbers, like 222, 999, or numbers that have a strange sequence and keep appearing around you, whether it’s the time on your phone or the clock on your oven.
These numbers are said to be signs from the universe, meaning that higher powers are trying to communicate something to you. According to numerologists and astrologers, there are certain common angel numbers that have specific meanings.
What makes angel numbers special?
Angel numbers are not just any numbers: they are said to have a special significance. Even the ancient mathematician Pythagoras believed in the concept of magic numbers, and observed the mystical significance of certain numbers, believing they had special properties and profound symbolic meanings.
This concept has endured for generations and is now more commonly known as “angel numbers”.
Where can you find angel numbers?
The short answer is that almost anywhere numbers appear, your angel number could be there—you just have to know where to look. One of my friends says she’s been seeing the same number sequence around her since she was a child, so she feels it’s a sign that she’s on the right side of destiny. You might also see repeating numbers on your grocery receipt, or maybe the songs on your playlist all have the same numerical duration.”
Other common places where angel numbers appear are:
- Bus stops
- Watches
- Lottery numbers
- Directions
- Phone numbers
- Price tags
- License plates
So, keep your eyes wide open!
What do angel numbers mean?
Although each angel number is believed to have its own meaning based on the digits that appear within the number, most people believe that angel numbers are a general sign from the universe that you are on the right path.
If there is one thing we can take away from the cultural phenomenon of the ‘lucky girl syndrome’, it is that we can see any repetitive pattern as a sign or symbol that there is something out there watching us, or at least knowing that there is more to life than meets the eye.
What is my angel number?
Does everyone have their own angel number? Sort of. Some believe your angel number is simply the number you see everywhere. You can also calculate your angel number from your birth date.
Simply add up all the digits of your birthdate and repeat the process until you are left with a single digit. For example, if your birthday was 08/02/1993, your angel number would be:
8+2+1+9+9+3 = 32
3+2=5
The meaning of each digit of an angel number
Okay, let’s get down to business: what does each number symbolize?
- 0: The number 0 represents purity, innocence, and spiritual awareness. Seeing a “0” in an angel number means it’s a good time to intensify your yoga or meditation practices, as powerful insights may come to you.
- 1: The first number represents a new beginning. You are entering a new chapter in your life. You may be going through a time of soul renewal. Things that once felt stale, you may see that the world is finally opening up again.
- 2: Friends and lovers often come in pairs, so the number 2 is a symbol of unity. Perhaps you’ve been spending too much time alone, and this is a sign to dedicate some time to your loved ones. It could also mean that you’re a magnet for new connections.
- 3: Pythagoras pointed out that the number 3 represents the union of the spiritual and physical realms. Your head and heart are aligned, so you can place more trust and faith in your intuitive senses during this time.
- 4: This number symbolizes grounding. Four is the number of the four directions and the four elements, so it’s time to consider how your foundation supports your growth and makes you feel grounded within yourself. A strong foundation boosts your self-esteem.
- 5: The number of change. How do you channel your creativity and how can you adapt to change? This may mean that your life is about to change, which can help you immerse yourself in your creative potential.
- 6: This number suggests looking inward. There’s no reason to fear this number, even though it has a bad reputation due to its association with the dark magic of sorcerers. In reality, six is a good sign to seek answers within yourself, like the Hermit card in the Tarot.
- 7: This is one of the most powerful numbers for spiritual growth. So pay attention to your dreams and trust your intuition, as you could be transitioning from a novice witch to a fully-fledged alchemist.
- 8: The number of reinvention. Symbols like the snake and the infinity symbol are associated with the number 8 because of its transformative nature. When this number appears, it can signify that you are about to enter a period of reinvention, which may prompt you to make some radical changes in your life. For example, it could involve the start or closure of a business, or the beginning or end of an important relationship.
- 9: The last digit refers to completing a cycle. Surrender to the flow of any changes that come your way. To make room for new developments, we sometimes need to do a spring cleaning of our inner and outer lives to clear space for them.
Common angel numbers and their meanings
There are many common angel numbers, but some of the most common are repeating digits, usually in a pattern of three or four.

For example, the angel number 111 is about starting fresh and beginning something new, 222 is a sign of serenity and unity, while the angel number 999 might be telling you to take stock of what you’ve accomplished and close a chapter in your life.

What should you do when you see an angel number?
If you’ve seen an angel number repeatedly, make a note of it and use it as an opportunity to reflect and review your own journey. Take a step back and look at your life from a bird’s-eye view, because sometimes when we’re caught up in the small details of our lives, we miss the beauty of the synchronicities that arise. If you want to embrace your inner alchemist, keep a special notebook handy to track these events and analyze how they unfold over days, weeks, or months.
