Making a wish at 11:11 might be customary, but it can’t just be a coincidence if you keep seeing those digits everywhere. Say you grab a coffee at a shop with the building number 1111 and the receipt comes out to be $11.11—the universe must be trying to tell you something, right? If you’ve got the sense that this number sequence is following you everywhere, something more magical may be at play, so you might want to listen up.

ICYDK, the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras not only revolutionized mathematics, but he also believed that numbers had mystical properties. And so, numerology—the study of numbers and their spiritual significance—was born. Numerology is said to reveal anything from what steps you should take next to achieve a goal to aspects of your personality, a.k.a. your life path number.

Angel numbers, such as 1111, are a subset of numerology. The phrase “angel numbers” describes the assignment of meaning to the repetition of the same or similar numbers, says Aliza Kelly, a professional numerologist, celebrity astrologer, and author of There Are No Coincidences. “1111, in particular, can range from just being four numbers stacked together to signifying a divine intervention, depending on how you individually experience it,” Kelly explains.

Are you constantly seeing 1111 and asking yourself, “Hey, what’s the deal?” Ahead, numerologists explain what 1111 might mean for your love life and career, why you keep seeing it everywhere, and how you can harness its energy to make the most of each day.

What does the number 1 mean in numerology?

Each individual digit possesses its own personal energy, according to numerology. The number 1, for example, “signifies the energy of beginnings, independence, and self-sufficiency,” says numerologist and astrologer Johanna Aúgusta.

But besides being a harbinger of a fresh start, 1 is also about individuality and embodies personal success, Aúgusta adds. “[It] reflects the qualities of Life Path 1, which is associated with leadership, assertiveness, and the ability to innovate.” In other words, this numeral exudes big Elle Woods energy.

With that in mind, you can probably get a sense of the number 11’s vibe. Since 11 is a “master number,” it carries a higher vibration than its single-digit counterpart, 1, Aúgusta explains. “The number 11 is about spiritual insight, enlightenment, inspiration, and intuition,” she says. If the number 1 is all about independence and new beginnings, consider the mystical digit 11 to be a message that major spiritual change is on its way.

What does 1111 mean?

Because the number one describes singularity, says Kelly says, 1111 is thought of as a symbol of your own personhood and identity. Seeing repeating 1’s often signifies that you’re about to embark on a new personal journey—it’s a nod from the universe that you’re on the right path, according to Kelly.

What does 1111 mean for my love life?

If you’re wondering what kind of romantic magic this angel number might have in store for you, just know there’s plenty to look forward to. Typically, 1111 offers a powerful message when it comes to love, says Aúgusta.

• If you’re single: With the number 1 signifying beginnings, seeing 1111 could open up a whole new chapter in your love life. “If you’re single, 1111 can signify that love is around the corner—you might soon encounter an individual who could have a profound impact on your life,” Aúgusta says. So open yourself to it!

• If you’re in a relationship: Major developments are about to happen in your relationship, says Aúgusta. If you keep seeing this angel number, you’ll probably want to pay attention to what your partner can teach you at the moment. “It could also mean that you need to focus on nurturing this relationship and possibly take it to the next level,” Aúgusta adds.

• If you’re going through a breakup: If you’re dealing with heartbreak, seeing 1111 is a reminder that there’s a good reason for it, says Aúgusta. It’s “all a part of your spiritual journey,” she explains. Remember: The single digit symbolizes independence and self-sufficiency. So while the end of a relationship can be painful, “it also opens doors for new opportunities and personal growth,” Aúgusta says.

What does 1111 mean for twin flames?

As 1111 is a highly spiritual number, it makes sense that seeing it everywhere might signal a transformative relationship is in your midst. I’m talking about twin flames, or an intense spiritual bond that’s meant to teach you a major life lesson.

“In the context of twin flames, 1111 often signifies the imminent arrival or reunion of yours,” Aúgusta explains. “It’s a spiritual sign that your twin flame is nearby and you’re being drawn together.”

On the other hand, being followed by 1111 can also point to a different phase in your twin flame relationship. “In terms of twin flame separations, 1111 can be a sign that this phase is necessary for personal growth before reuniting in a more harmonious and stronger relationship,” says Aúgusta. “It’s a reminder to trust the journey, no matter how challenging it may seem.”

Whatever era you’re in with your spiritual mirror, catching glimpses of 1111 is ultimately a reminder to check in with yourself and your spiritual progress.

What does 1111 mean for my finances and career?

Being followed by the angel number 1111 could mean prosperity is on its way if it hasn’t already found you, according to Aúgusta. “It might indicate that you’re aligning with the energy of abundance and your financial circumstances are likely to improve,” she adds.

When it comes to work, seeing 1111 might also be an indication that a successful phase in your career is imminent, explains Aúgusta. Since the number 1 is about beginnings, the supercharged digit 1111 could mean a shiny new promotion or even a major career shift is on the horizon. “The angel number 1111 might be a sign that it’s time to take that leap of faith and embark on a new professional journey,” Aúgusta says.

Even if 1111 is appearing at a time when things aren’t going your way financially and professionally, it could be encouraging you to listen to your gut and trust the process. “If you’re facing challenges at your job, 1111 may be telling you these obstacles are part of your journey to success,” says Aúgusta. Everyone hits career blimps from time-to-time—seeing this divine number urges you to look inward and discern whether your current job is supporting your spiritual purpose or if it’s time to look elsewhere.

What is the spiritual significance of 1111?

Basically, the angels are knocking at your door when you see this number because 1111 is all about spiritual awakening. Remember: The number 1 represents new beginnings and opportunities, while the digit 11 “is associated with spiritual insight, enlightenment, and intuitive understanding,” says Aúgusta. When you mesh these vibes together, 1111 is a clear sign that your angels are urging you to tap into the metaphysical world and your inner knowing.

If you’ve been searching for a sign to finally take the leap, 1111 is it! This sequence “is often considered a wake-up call from the universe,” explains Aúgusta. “It’s a nudge to pay attention to your thoughts and feelings as they’re manifesting in your reality.” And trust that the new path presenting itself will be in your favor.

Interestingly, some Kabbalists (followers of the ancient Jewish tradition of Kabbalah) actually believe that 1111 is a sign from God or divinity itself, says Kelly. This is because the ancient Hebrew name for God, Yahweh or YHWH, when written resembles four ones.

Why do I keep seeing 1111 everywhere?

As mentioned, 1111 can be interpreted as a message from your angels or the universe (or whatever higher power you believe in) that you’re on the right path.

If you keep seeing 1111 everywhere, it’s a sign to keep going and trust the direction you’re moving in as everything is falling into place, says Kelly. If you’re going through a rough patch, seeing 1111 is sort of an embrace from the universe. Essentially, the universe is saying, “Things are going to get better,” Kelly adds.

On the contrary, if you’re experiencing a winning streak, seeing 1111 can signify that this feeling is not fleeting and the good results you’re experiencing right now are all a part of the greater direction you’re headed toward, says Kelly.

How can I harness the power of 1111 energy?

Practitioners of astrology and numerology often express that there are no coincidences. “Your awareness of those four 1’s is indicative of the fact that there is a message for you to receive, and if you didn’t need to receive it, it wouldn’t have been something you registered,” says Kelly. “It’s good to see 1111 because it means you’re tuned into that mystical frequency.”

So, how can you harness that energy to make sure you continue on the right track? Well, if you’re like Kelly, you might have a folder saved on your phone with dozens of screenshots of 1111 out in the world. (Guilty.) But if you want to spare your phone’s memory storage, whenever you encounter 1111, you can simply take that moment to reflect and sit with that feeling for a moment. What might this be a sign for? If you’re working on an exciting project, maybe this is the universe’s way of telling you to keep going. If you’re in the middle of a major life change that you’re nervous about, such as moving or ending a relationship, perhaps this is a sign that you’re doing the right thing. Go ahead, and take the leap.

If you feel drawn to go deeper, Kelly recommends journaling about whatever thoughts and emotions you experience when you encounter this angel number. “[Seeing] 1111 is a great invitation to check in with yourself and see what it is you need,” says Kelly. “You might want to do some sort of manifestation ritual or write down your hopes and goals—whatever helps you feel aligned to your truth.”

What are some other angel numbers?

1111 isn’t the only number with a special meaning that can serve as a guide for your life. Below are some other common angel numbers and their meanings, according to Kelly:

111

Like 1111, 111 is a powerful figure for manifestation. If you see this number, the universe is giving you the “green light” to take the next step toward achieving your goals.

222

Seeing three 2’s is about trust and alignment. If you see angel number 222, it can be a sign to be present and trust that you’re exactly where you need to be. It can also be a good sign for relationships and love connections as pairs come in 2’s.

333

Angel number 333 is a sign of creativity and ambition. If you encounter this number, you should lean into your talents and gifts because the universe has opportunities and resources for you on the horizon.

444

Three 4’s is a sign of stabilization. Seeing this angel number suggests that you’re in the process of becoming more grounded and building an infrastructure, either internal or external, that’s built to last. It’s also a figure of change and transformation.

555

The presence of angel number 555 suggests that major changes are coming. If you’ve been feeling stuck or uninspired, don’t worry because massive shifts are in the works.

666

Although some may fear the number 6 because of its religious associations with demons, witnessing the angel number 666 is nothing to be scared of. In numerology, this figure actually has a very supportive and nurturing energy. It’s a reminder to treat yourself with kindness and compassion because your angels are on your side.

777

À la Silk Sonic, “7-7-7, let’s go!” This angel number sequence signifies that good fortune may be on the way, especially finance-wise. (Ah, so that’s why 777 represents a jackpot at the casino!)

888

The number 8 is the symbol of infinity or the endless loop of energy. For those who believe in an afterlife, it could reflect a powerful connection to the spiritual world, and a sign that you’re receiving supernatural support from loved ones who have crossed over.

999

The presence of repeating 9’s suggests that a chapter is coming to a close. A meaningful connection or experience might end soon, and a new journey may begin. This is the perfect opportunity to step outside of your comfort zone and explore new territories.

1234

This sequence symbolizes good luck, and is one of Kelly’s favorites. “It feels playful,” she says. “It’s a kind of a wink from the universe to not take yourself so seriously, lighten up, and have fun.”

Because everyone has a unique connection to each angel number sequence, its meaning will ultimately depend on where you are on your life path. Whatever you’re going through, know that seeing these numbers are a little nudge from your angels, the universe, or whatever it is you believe in that everything will be okay.
