Why I keep seeing angel number

Sometimes, seeing the same number over and over is just a coincidence. Context matters. If you have been asking the universe or your guides for some signs, then the recurrence of the same number over and over again is likely to be a sign or an answer. You can use your own intuition to determine the message that the universe is trying to transmit to you through these repetitive numbers.

To me, angel numbers are kind of like a gateway drug to more spiritual exploration. On one level, angel numbers are just numbers that people start to notice. Maybe you have a lucky number, or you keep seeing 1111 or 2222, or maybe you are repeatedly seeing your license plate number or birthday.

Either way, two things are at play here:
-First, your brain is a pattern-recognizing machine. Once you say, “Oh, I want to see this,” your brain goes, “Got it! Looking for that!” Whether it's butterflies, 1111, or belly dancers—what you focus on expands.
-Second, I believe we all have a spiritual team—whether it’s ancestors, gods and goddesses, spirit guides, or just the “Big You” on your side. I believe they try to talk to us and support us in subtle ways—not with memos, but with nudges and signs. That ties into your intuition.
A lot of people, when they go through some kind of transformation and become more spiritually open, start seeing numbers—because numbers are everywhere, even more than text. So, what happens is we start noticing them. It often feels like, “Oh, there's that number again!” and it feels good—on a receipt, printout, the number of likes on a post. It's comforting. To me, angel numbers are almost always affirmative and positive—like, “You got this. You’re doing all right.”

If you are increasingly getting more interested in what an angel number might mean for you, I recommend journaling, reflecting on questions like what came up for you, what you were thinking about, or where you were.

In my work, I’ve given general meanings for the first 1,000 angel numbers—including repeating ones like 1111 or 2222. Some of them even have names, like “The Gates of Light.” But ultimately, the meaning of these numbers can also become personal.
When people ask, “What does this number mean?” I ask:
 – What are you thinking about?
 – Are you choosing between two things?
 – Are you going through a transition?

At the start of a spiritual journey, we often seek out teachers. But over time, you realize—you have the answers. You’re your own teacher.
