Have you ever noticed that you frequently glance at the clock only to find the same time, like 11:11 or 3:33?

Or perhaps you’ve seen repeating numbers in other places, like when a receipt adds up to $22.22?

While these occurrences might appear to be coincidences, many believe that such constant number sequences, known as “angel numbers,” carry deeper significance, often seen as symbols of affirmation and guidance.

So, what do angel numbers signify, and what insights can they provide? Here’s a primer on angel numbers to kick off your journey into the realm of numerology.

Defining Angel Numbers

Angel numbers are sequences of numbers that recur and are often considered tools for spiritual insight. They range from 000 to 999, with each number grouping holding its own unique interpretation and energy.

According to professional numerologist Novalee Wilder, “Most people see these numbers as a source of empowerment and validation. Many are searching for signs. Sometimes, they represent crossroads in life.”

Wilder explains that angel numbers can serve as affirmative signs to guide you in whatever direction you are pursuing, including aspects of your relationships, career opportunities, and other life events.

In the realm of numerology, patterns are typically identified in triples. “The more often a number is repeated, the more significant it becomes,” Wilder notes.

If an angel number appears three times consecutively, it might encourage you to take a step like applying for a new job or exploring new romantic possibilities, she adds.

Wilder emphasizes, “When numbers begin to manifest, it feels like affirmation and empowerment. You find yourself thinking, ‘Yes, I’m on the right path; I’m aligned, and I feel empowered.'”

An Overview of Numerology

Numerology is an ancient and mystical discipline that explores the significance and vibrational energy of numbers and letters, as described by Wilder.

“Numbers existed long before language,” she explains. “We used to count before we had names assigned to things, and we attributed meanings to those counts.”

In essence, numerology connects to a system in which numbers and letters embody specific symbolic meanings. Various systems exist, including the Pythagorean and Chaldean methods.

Wilder, who employs Chaldean numerology, notes that many spiritual practices, such as astrology and palmistry, are fundamentally rooted in numerology. For instance, astrological signs link back to numbers that correspond to a person’s date and time of birth, while Enneagrams characterize personality types based on their assigned number, ranging from one to nine.

“At their core, all these systems of categorization are based on numbers,” Wilder explains. “We determine things like, ‘You represent this number in the sequence.'”

Why Do Angel Numbers Keep Appearing?

You might find angel numbers in various daily encounters, such as on receipts, license plates, clocks, and even bank statements. Because these numbers often pop up in everyday life, they may be seen as the universe’s way of providing guidance or reassurance that you’re on a positive trajectory, notes Wilder.

Moreover, it’s believed that angel numbers might not solely originate from angels; some suggest they could also be messages from departed loved ones or spirit guides, according to Wilder.

“The past few years have significantly heightened people’s anxiety levels,” Wilder observes. “Recognizing these patterns contributes to the feeling that there’s a guiding force out there, providing support.”
