When I was little, I was fascinated by repeating numbers on digital clocks. It felt like every day I would see 11:11 in the morning and again at night, and it felt insanely personal—like the universe was trying to tell me something. I loved seeing any repeating numbers, and it felt magical when I just happened to see 5:55 or even the wonderful 12:34 staring back at me without waiting for the numbers to tick over. I’d feel a thrill vibrate through my little body—and I still do.

I’ve also felt personally attacked by the number 13 for years. Imbued with bad vibes and evil energies, I wondered if I’d be cursed as a baby or perhaps been a villain in a past life. I’d always glance down at the time to see the minute 13 staring back at me, or check on my food in the microwave to see it stopped, seemingly for an eternity, at second 13. But according to Angel Numbers, the number 13 means focus, change and adaptability, and it’s supported by divine feminine energy. I’ve always struggled with change, and perhaps this is my higher power encouraging me to welcome it, instead.

Grounded in Numerology

Angel numbers, for those unfamiliar, are repetitive or predictable sequences or patterns of numbers, such as 1111, 777, 5656, or 321. They tend to appear in ordinary places like price tags, phone numbers, clocks, or license plates. However, in the realm of numerology, which posits a mystical connection between numbers and events, these angel numbers are perceived as signs from the universe or any higher power one resonates with.

There are no coincidences

The notion that "there are no coincidences" often underpins the interpretation of angel numbers and their messages. Deepak Chopra, in his article "Nothing is Coincidental—Everything is Meaningful," elaborates on this idea, referring to it as synchronicity. He explains that synchronicity implies a higher intelligence orchestrating events so that meaning surfaces unexpectedly. This concept suggests that when we notice certain patterns or sequences, there might be a deeper message waiting to be acknowledged. 

Synchronicity, a facet of numerology, assigns different meanings to various sequences of numbers, considering them as messages from the metaphysical realm. For instance, certain numbers might signal an impending significant change, the closure of a chapter in one's life, or the fruition of hard work.

The origins of Numerology

The origins of numerology date back to ancient times, with followers of the Greek philosopher Pythagoras attributing mystical properties to numbers. They believed, for instance, that even numbers were feminine, odd numbers were masculine, and that the number four symbolised justice. While ten was considered the most perfect number, they hypothesised the existence of a 10th planet, Counter-Earth, perpetually concealed by the sun.

Contemporary understanding of angel numbers owes much to Doreen Virtue, author of several spiritual books from the late '90s and early 2000s, including "Angel Numbers," "Angels 101," and "Messages from Your Angels." In recent years, the term "angel numbers" has gained traction in spiritual circles and on social media, encompassing any striking combination of numbers that prompts one to pause and contemplate. However, it's crucial to recognise that angel numbers are subjective, with interpretation being the key aspect.

Why do I keep seeing repeated numbers?

Whenever one encounters repeating numbers or sequences, the underlying message invites openness to receiving guidance. This could be a one-time occurrence or a recurring phenomenon spanning years. Regardless of the frequency or context, the significance lies in how one interprets it.

Numerology practices like angel numbers often intersect with other esoteric traditions such as astrology or tarot reading. Calculating one's life path number, for instance, is a common numerological practice believed to offer insights into one's personality and life journey.

Ultimately, one doesn't need to be a psychic or a practitioner of metaphysics to resonate with angel numbers. It's about tapping into intuition, taking a moment to centre oneself, and paying attention to the surrounding signs and synchronicities.
