What are angel numbers?

Ever wondered why you see 11:11 on every clock around?

Angel numbers are number patterns seen repeatedly on clocks, license plates, receipts, billboards, and other places. Some people experience angel numbers auditorially by hearing them on the radio, in conversation, in music, and in other places.

Common angel numbers include triple numbers such as 111, 222, 333, 444, or 555. Other common angel numbers are 1111, 1010, and 1212.

Angel numbers are thought to be a sign, message, or guidance from angels. Angels love to communicate with us humans and help us when they can. They often communicate with numbers because it is easy for them to do so, but they will also use things like coins or rainbows.

If you see number patterns and think they’re angel numbers, you are probably right. It’s then up to you to interpret and discover the divine messages contained within. Usually, learning a bit about numerology along with using your intuition will help you know the meaning of angel numbers.

Why do you see angel numbers?

There are two primary reasons you see angel numbers.

First and foremost, you see angel numbers because your mind is open enough to see them. You have a level of spiritual and intuitive awareness that makes you capable of experiencing seeing angel numbers. You are, as some might say, “spiritually awake.”

Not everyone sees angel numbers or finds any meaning in them. But if you do, it means you have a healthy and functioning sixth sense. The numbers affirm this.

Essentially, you see angel numbers because you can. You are connected to your angels on a spiritual level and have the ability to receive messages from them.

The other reason you’re seeing angel numbers is that there is a certain message or meaning for you. And it’s up to you to interpret that message or meaning.

Usually, your angels show you certain numbers as a message of hope, reassurance, comfort, or love. Sometimes, the numbers are guidance, such as telling you what path to take or what path to avoid. Angel numbers also may be a warning, a sign to take action, a good luck sign, a sign that manifestation is favorable, or a sign of love from a loved one who has passed.

This is a simplified “cheat sheet” style chart. Let’s now talk about learning angel numbers in a deeper and more meaningful way.

How to interpret angel number meanings

To interpret your personal angel numbers in the most relevant way for you, consider the widely agreed-upon numerological meaning of the numbers. Then add in your own personal understanding. (“Innerstanding” is a better word since it refers to intuition.)

Give all information careful consideration, and then decide what feels true to you.

Here’s an easy formula: {Numerological meaning + personal innerstanding = your angel number meaning.}

Potentially, there are highly specific messages contained within the numbers that you see. It all depends on how you relate the numbers you see to what you know as truth. And to the events and experiences in your life.

What does double, triple, or more than one of the same number mean?

I always consider two or more of a number to be “extra” of that number. So, for instance, 22 has more “oomph” than 2 on its own. 22 Is more pronounced, more exaggerated, and carries more of its own energy. 222 Even more, and so on.

But also, it’s helpful to look at what all the numbers add up to, and consider that number as well. So, for 222 it would be 2+2+2=6. Seeing 222 everywhere might prompt you to consider the significance of 6 in addition to the number 2, or in relation to the number 2.

Perhaps this is overly simplistic, but this method of angel number interpretation feels right to me.

How to interpret multi-digit mixed angel numbers

To interpret a multi-digit mixed number such as 4676, take each number into consideration. Learn about the numerology of each number, and think of your own personal meanings and intuitive innerstanding.

Add the entire number up, in this case, 4+6+7+6= 23=2+3=5. Consider the numerology of the end result number (5) and also any additional number patterns or math that stands out to you and feels relevant.

For multiple-digit mixed numbers, you need to rely on your intuition more than ever.

How to find your angel number?

If you are unsure of what your angel number or numbers might be, there are ways to discover them. To find your angel number consider:

What numbers or number patterns do you see regularly?
Any other numbers that seem to “jump out.”
Your numerology number.
Your entire name added up, where A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on.
Any numbers you think are lucky or significant for any reason.

How to Find Your Angel Number- 3 Ways to Know for Sure

The shortest answer I can give about finding your angel number is this: If you consider a number your angel number, then it probably is.

Especially if you see a certain number frequently over a period of time, you may consider it a sign from your angels. And indeed call it your angel number if you intuit it as such.

What to do when you see angel numbers?

When you see angel numbers, take a few moments to clear your mind and think about what message your angels might be trying to convey.

Commonly, your angels are showing you the numbers as a sign of reassurance, support, affirmation, or love. There may be no action required on your part.

But, sometimes, angel numbers do appear to prompt you in a certain direction. They nudge you to take action, or even to warn you of something. If you sense there is something you need to do, and you see your angel number, then you may want to consider if your angels are sending you a sign to take action.

The bottom line is that you must use an intelligent combination of common sense and intuition to decide if there is anything you need to do when you see angel numbers. Or, if the numbers are appearing simply to comfort, reassure you, or offer other positive energy.

Can you have more than one angel number?

Yes, you can have more than one angel number.

Many people consider their numerology number (Your birthday added up) to be their primary angel number. (For instance June 2, 2001 6+2+01= numerology or angel number 9.)

Other people may add the letters of their first, middle, and last names to equal a different angel number. (As in, where A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.)

Your angel numbers may also be based on intuition and experience. Maybe you have always seen 11:11 on the clock and intuited 11 as your angel number. (Even if 11 is not within the numerology of your name or birthdate.)

You might consider more than one number as your angel number. Whatever you decide is your truth. If you vibe with both 11 and 555, then claim those numbers as your angel numbers if they feel like your angel numbers.

Is your numerology or life path number automatically your angel number?

Not necessarily.

Your numerology number is your numerology number and your life path number is your life path number. Both or neither may be your angel number/s. It all depends on how you resonate intuitively with each set of numbers.

For instance, say your numerology number is 3. But you never see 3’s. When you think of the number 3, it holds no strong emotion or meaning for you. So, 3 is not relevant, then, and unlikely to be your angel number. Maybe it will become relevant in time, but for now, it’s not.

Maybe you see 10:10 every time you look at the clock, and feel much more connected to 10 or 1 and 0 or 2 (10+10=1+0+1+0=2.) If you feel more strongly about a different number being your angel number, then follow your gut.

Are there any bad angel numbers?

In my opinion, no. I do not think there are any bad angel numbers. I do not think any numbers or number combinations are inherently evil, because all numbers come from God. I consider all numbers divine.

We all know the dark reputation of certain numbers. There are people who want to claim numbers as evil. But, no one can escape the reality that all numbers were created by a Divine source.

That being said, if a number feels unlucky or dark to you, then follow your intuition. You may have different interpretations and beliefs. My personal opinion about numbers is based on the fact that numbers come from God.

Learning more about angel number meanings

If you’re interested in learning more about angel number meanings, there are an extraordinary amount of resources out there. There are angel number books, videos, and plenty of articles online.

It’s a good idea to learn about angel numbers from a numerology perspective first. Start by studying the widely agreed-upon meanings for numbers 0-9. Then, start studying multi-digit numbers.

Different people will have different thoughts and opinions about number meanings. Take everything into account. Be open, and leave little off the table.

Then using your intuition, filter out what information doesn’t resonate with you. What will be left will be a clear understanding of the standard meaning of angel numbers from a numerological perspective.

Finally, as mentioned, you will want to consult your own inner wisdom. You will want to tap into your intuition to get a deeper, more precise knowledge of angel numbers. Your personal understanding of angel number meanings is highly relevant, and perhaps more so than what the general consensus is.

Final thoughts

We all have angels looking over us and are capable of divine communication. So, if you feel that the numbers you keep seeing are angel numbers containing messages from your angels, then they likely are. We would all benefit from learning to trust our intuition more and using our sixth sense with confidence.
