Exploring the Meaning Behind Numbers

The universe usually speaks to us through synchronicities.

A song coming on the radio where the lyrics just describe your current mindset, a name on a number plate, random little things where you go ‘that’s weird’. Numbers can also carry messages.

The number of times I have had people come up to me and say, ‘I keep seeing 11:11 what does that mean?” Or ‘I’m seeing 5 EVERYWHERE, I know it sounds crazy but what is this telling me?” is insane.

Numbers and synchronicities can have their own meaning to you, but there is such thing as numerology. Numerology is the art of finding messages in numbers from their assigned meaning. It’s an ancient art used in ancient scriptures, featuring in the Bible.

You can find your life path number using numerology where you can identify what your life might look like as a brief overview. You can use it to find out about your love life as it’s mathematically mapped out. It’s a way of spiritual understanding.

For me, I just use it to speak to me in moments of doubt. If I see 77, to me, it’s a reminder that I am loved. If I see 11.11 It’s a sign that I’m on the right path.

Without further a due, I’m gonna list the meaning behind numbers from some research that I’ve done, to save you the work.

Number 1

The number 1 represents a very driven, independent and creative energy. If you’re seeing the number 1 repetitively, it means that you’re likely being guided to ascend to the next level of living. Some life changes might be expected soon as seeing this number a lot can signify an ideal time for new beginnings.

Number 2

The energy held by the number 2 is a very charismatic, diplomatic, fair and balanced one. Seeing the number 2 a lot can signify that you’re being guided to communicate, or that things are about to get a bit deeper and more serious. It can also signify that this is a good time to engage in creative activities, or socializing.

Number 3

3’s carry a highly extraverted vibe. The number 3 is representative of fun, optimism, charisma, and very good communication. 3 is a lucky and powerful number, with a lot of history behind it. The mother, the maiden, the crone. The father, son and Holy Spirit. Seeing this number, a lot can signify that now is a really good time to work with other people, as things will flow well. It can also be a sign to be a bit more flexible and perhaps a little more self-disciplined.

Number 4

The number 4 is a disciplined, organized and strong number. It’s sturdy, and it can also be seen as very angelic. Seeing the number 4 a lot can be a reminder that you are supported and loved, even though it may seem like you aren’t.

Number 5

The number 5 signifies that change is coming. 5 is a free-spirited, adventurous number. If you see the number 5 frequently, things are about to be shaken up in your life. Expect that it is for the best.

Number 6

The number 6 is the number of balance and harmony. It can also carry nostalgic energy. Seeing the number 6 can mean that you’re being guided to find balance, it could mean that you’re in a time of conflict and that you need to calm down and stop trying to control things quite so much.

Number 7

The number 7 is a deeply spiritual and enlightened one. Seeing 7 a lot is a sign that you may benefit from solitude at this time. It can also be a reminder that you are moving and that you need to have faith that things are falling into place, as long as you’re doing what you’re guided to do at the moment.

Number 8

Then number 8 is all about hard work and setting down a stable foundation for the long term. 8 is a hardworking, practical, risk-taking number. Seeing this number, a lot can mean that now is the time for you to do your work and do it honorably. You will be grateful that you did in the long run. It can also signify your presence in the material world, it can mean that you are too grounded or that you may not be grounded enough.

Number 9

The number 9 is about problem-solving and fighting injustice. Seeing this number often can signify your calling to fight for justice and balance, standing up to inequality or imbalance. It can also signify the end of a cycle, or that things are just about to fall into place for you.

Number 11

11 stands alone as a master number in numerology. Seeing the number 11 is a sign of awakening, understanding, having a higher perspective.

Number 22

Seeing this number is usually a reassurance that you are doing the best you possibly can right now, and to just chill out a bit.

Numbers and their meanings, as I have previously said, can be personal to you. If researching their meaning confuses you or doesn’t resonate with you- I would suggest simply asking the universe to show you what it means. Alternatively, say ‘Okay, whenever I see this number it is a reminder that…’. The universe will eventually play ball because it communicates to us in a way that we will understand.
