What is an angel number?
Your angel number is a number that feels spiritually significant to you. Often, it is a number connected to your name or birthday. Or it can be a sequence of numbers that you see repeatedly over a period of time.
Numbers you see repeatedly are most often communication from your angels. When you see your angel number, it is a positive and supportive sign.
Your angel number could be connected to your numerology life path number, but not always. Your angel number may have special significance such as “lucky 777”, or it may appear random to you at first. Additionally, you may have more than one angel number.

What do angel numbers mean?
Angel numbers are a sign from your angels. These numbers appear when your angels want to show support, boost your confidence, guide you, or affirm something to you.
Angel numbers often appear as signs that you are on the right path. Or that your thought process is correct/good.
Angel numbers can signify new beginnings. Such as the start of a new relationship, or an opportunity on the horizon.
It’s incredibly common to start seeing angel numbers as you become more awake spiritually. Regardless of your religious beliefs. As your connection to the Divine grows stronger, your angels start to reveal themselves more and more. Angel numbers are just one way that angels show signs they are near.

3 Ways to discover your angel number
By now you’re probably wondering ok… What is my angel number then? And how do I know my number for sure?
Here are three ways you can discover your angel number.
1. Calculate your angel number with numerology
Often, our angel numbers are connected to our numerology life path numbers. For example, my numerology life path number is 1 and my primary angel number is 111 or 1111.
To find your numerology life path number, the steps are easy. Simply add up the number for your birth month, birth day, and birth year. Then further reduce that number with addition until you have a single digit. For example, December 12, 1995 would be 1+2+1+2+1+9+9+5 = 30. Then 3+0= 3.
If your numerology life path number boils down to the double number 11, 22, or 33, that is rare. Those double numbers are known to be master numbers. People with master numbers are thought to have special gifts of heightened intuition, intelligence, and extra potential in life.

2. Find your angel number in your name
Another way to discover your angel number is to examine the numbers in your name. With A=1, B=2 and so forth, add up the numbers of your first, middle, and last name. For example, Ann Lee Jones would be 1+1+4+1+4+1+2+5+5+1+0+1+5+1+4+5+1+9 = 51= 5+1= 6.
You should also note connections between your numerology life path number and name number/s. For example, my first name letter is K=11. With 1 being my numerology number as mentioned before.
3. Intuit your angel number
Intuit means to feel or know, using your intuition.
If you are seeing certain numbers or number patterns frequently, then know that these numbers are jumping out at you for a reason. These kinds of numbers are undoubtedly your angel numbers.
You may also favor a certain number. If you feel strongly for any reason about a certain number, consider it your angel number. Maybe you decided years ago that 9 was your number and you have no idea what brought you to that conclusion. Well, now you do.
Ultimately, to know if what you are seeing are angel numbers, trust your intuition beyond anything. I’m at the point where I’m more skeptical of things being a “coincidence” than I am skeptical that something is a sign from my angels or spirit guides. More on trusting your intuition in a moment.

Are there negative or bad numbers?
There is no such thing as a bad or negative number.
Numbers were created by God, The Universe, Infinite Intelligence, or whatever name you give The Divine. They cannot by nature be anything but pure and of the light. All of existence comes down to math, numbers, and energy.
Even 666 is a good, positive number. It is a number representing a stable home life, financial security, safety, and peace.
If I had to paint a picture of what 6’s represent, it would look like a lovely cabin in the woods with a cozy living room and a roaring fire in the fireplace. A wooden dining table with bowls of homemade soup and freshly baked bread. A cat curled up next to you and a good book. Totally hygee. So don’t assume seeing 6’s or having them in your numerology is bad luck.

Can angel numbers be warnings?
Numbers may be used as warnings. But it all depends on the person and their own beliefs.
In my personal experience, my angels use numbers to guide and communicate. But don’t use them as an ominous message. This is because my angels know I innerstand numbers as Divine. So, if they need to warn me they send other, clearer red flags.
If you have a negative association with a certain number, then your angels know it and may potentially use that number to warn you. Again, use your intuition. Angel signs are personal.
Trusting in your intuition & your angels
As you grow spiritually, you may have moments of doubt. You may be unsure of your interpretation of angel signs or messages. This is normal. Questioning everything is important and so is critical thinking.
It is possible to have common sense and still trust in angels, believe in spirits, and live your life beyond “the ordinary.” (Meaning what you can see with your eyes and prove through science.) You can trust in angels regardless of your religion or lack thereof.
You get to choose your own reality in many ways. As Dr. Wayne Dyer (RIP) said: “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
Choosing to trust yourself to receive spiritual guidance or signs is wise. Don’t hesitate to affirm your ability. Humans were born with intuition and a sixth sense for a reason. You are part of infinity and you are infinite. Claim it!
Other ways angels communicate
In addition to communicating with numbers through common mediums such as license plates and clocks, angels send messages in many ways including:
- Feathers
- Coins
- Rainbows
- Clouds
- Things out of place
- And many more

My angel number if you add up my birthday is 33 and I used to break it down to 6 cause I thought you had to & 6 has alway felt really special to me but it’s also cool that I have a master number and then if you add up all the letters in my name and then break it down you get 9.
Kristen says
That is really cool! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Richard Zuber says
I enjoyed reading your post and am a big believer in both angels and intuition. That said, are you familiar with Baader-Meinhof phenomenon (frequency illusion/bias)? It is a cognitive bias in which, after noticing something for the first time (example: newly calculated angel numbers), there is a tendency to notice it more often, leading someone to believe that it has a high frequency of occurrence. Do you think this counters or tares down the belief in angel numbers? If not, is it possible that angel numbers and this phenomenon can both exist simultaneously? Are they the same thing (just different ways of explaining)? Any thoughts you could give on this would be very helpful. Thank you.
Kristen says
Hello and thanks for asking! In my opinion, this theory or phenomenon does not tear down anything. Both can exist together. Many people, especially in science, are uncomfortable with the unknown and such phenomena. Science loves to disprove spirituality for many reasons. So it is up to the individual what they chose to see or believe. I see science as sometimes biased, always evolving, and unfortunately often corrupted with special interest, much like politics. Therefore, I consider what science has to say, and try to use common sense. But above all, I trust my inner knowing, keep my eyes wide open, enjoy spirituality, and encourage others to do the same.

What is my angel number if both my numerology life path number and name number are different?
Can an angel number be 3 different numbers rather than 3 of the same?
Kristen says
Yes, I think you can have more than one angel number. Use your intuition and look for signs to determine your primary number. You will eventually come to know which number/s are most significant. People tend to have 1-2 angel numbers. Of your 3, one is likely less significant.
Erica Aletta Goldstone says
Thank you for this blog, it is very informative. I really enjoyed reading it. I see signs everywhere, such as angel numbers. My angel name number is two digits that is 11,do I add the them up to give me a single digit which is 2 or do I keep it at 11 which is a Master Number?
Kind Regards
Erica Aletta Goldstone
Kristen says
Hi Erica! 11 Would be considered your angel number since it is a master number. However, use your intuition to decide if 2 feels significant as well. I do think you can have more than one angel number. Mine are 1 and 6. Thanks for your comments!
