    In many cases, these numbers appear in repetitive strings—think 11:11 on a clock, or a $ 7.77 on the receipt of your coffee. [1] While some people believe that angel numbers do, in fact, come from angels, others believe that angel numbers are messages from:
    • God/the divine
    • A deceased loved one [2]
    • A higher version of yourself
    • The universe itself [3]

    Angel numbers often pop up where you least expect them to, whether it’s the clock on your phone, a receipt, a license plate, or a street/house number. These numbers will jump out to you automatically—you don’t search for them specifically. [4]
    • Any sign or object that bears numbers can be evidence of an angel sign.
    • Maybe you wake up in the morning at 4:44 , spend $44.44 on gas, and notice 44 unopened emails in your inbox. In this case, it’s safe to assume that 4 (or a string of 4s) is your angel number.

    Write out your full birthdate numerically and add all of the digits together. If the total sum is a double-digit number, add the 2 individual digits together—this is your personal angel number that you should keep an eye out for! [5]
    • Let’s say your birthday was September 9, 1989. You’d write out your birthday as 09091989 and add all the numbers together, which would give you a sum of 45. You’d then add 4 and 5 together, giving you an angel number of 9.

    Assign numbers to each letter of the alphabet sequentially, with A representing 1 and Z representing 26. Add together the numbers that make up your first, middle, and last name—chances are, you’ll get a double digit number. From there, add together the 2 digits in the double digit number, which gives you your personal angel number. If the simplified number is still double digits, continue adding the digits together until you have a single-digit number.
    • If your name is Kate Robin Johnson, you’d add up your name as 11+1+20+5+18+15+2+9+14+10+15+8+14+19+15+14, creating a total sum of 190. You’d add 1+9+0 together, giving you a simplified sum of 10. From there, you’d add 1+0 together, giving you an angel number of 1.

    A sign that your life is aligned in the right direction. Life is full of unknowns, and it’s totally valid to be a little nervous about the future. If you see a 222 , though, you can rest easy knowing that you have nothing to fear. The universe is letting you know that everything in your life is happening in the exact way it should be, so you have nothing to worry about. [9]
    • Maybe you just applied to several colleges and are feeling nervous. Spotting a 222 in your daily life could be a sign that your future is headed in the correct and proper direction.

    A sign of support and blessings. Think of a 333 as a giant hug from your guardian angel or spirit guide. They’re using this number to let you know that everything’s going to be okay, and that you have plenty to look forward to in the days to come. [10]

    • Some people treat 444 as a symbol of comfort and protection, and that their angel is watching out for them. [11]

    A sign related to upcoming life changes. Notice a $5.55 charge on your receipt or a 555 on the license plate of the car in front of you? The divine force in your life definitely spies something on the horizon, and is using 555 to let you know about it. Don’t worry, though. Change can often be a powerful force of good in your life! [12]
    • For example, a positive change could be getting accepted to lease a cool new apartment.

    A sign to think more positively. Chances are, you’ve seen this number before—but as an angel number, 666 doesn’t actually have a devilish connotation. Instead, a series of 6s is a sign from your spirit guide that you need to think more positively, or at least try to spin your thoughts in a positive light. [13]
    • Let’s say that you’re harboring a lot of negative, self-loathing thoughts. Spotting a 666 angel number could be a sign from the universe to think more positive, loving thoughts toward yourself and self-care.

    A sign that good things are on the horizon. Hoping for a raise? A well-placed 777 could symbolize a financial bounty in your future. Hoping to find that special someone in your life? A 777 could signify that they aren’t as far away as you think. [14]
    • In the world of biblical numerology, the number 7 represents everything perfect, holy, and godly. [15] So, it makes sense that 7 as an angel number signifies wonderful things to come, too.

    A sign of monetary gains. Maybe you’ve put in extra hours at the office, or are covering extra shifts for your co-workers. Spotting an 888 could be a divine hint that your efforts are being noticed, and that a sweet financial reward is in your future. [16]
    • The 888 angel number also implies an element of surprise. Someone who sees this number might spot a $20 bill when they’re walking down the street, or get an unexpected tip at their job.
  10. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e1\/Find-My-Angel-Number-Step-14.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-My-Angel-Number-Step-14.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e1\/Find-My-Angel-Number-Step-14.jpg\/aid13158828-v4-728px-Find-My-Angel-Number-Step-14.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\u00a9 2024 wikiHow, Inc.

    A sign of an upcoming end/conclusion in your life. Nothing lasts forever—a 999 is just a handy reminder of this important fact. A significant chapter in your life is likely coming to an end, but that just means a brand new adventure is about to start! Take the universe’s advice: buckle up, get ready, and enjoy the journey.
    • You might see 999 right before your high school or graduation. You might also see it before breaking up with a partner or ending a relationship with a friend :-/.

    Angel numbers may have different meanings, but they all have one important thing in common—they’re a sign that some sort of higher power is looking out for you. Angel numbers show that some sort of divine power has your back, and that you aren’t going through life’s challenges alone. [17]
    • Some people like to send a quick prayer of gratitude to the universe when they notice an angel number. You don’t have to do this, but it’s a nice way to show your appreciation!

      • Angel number meanings are pretty generalized, and don’t always signify something specific. For instance, don’t take a loan out on a new car just because you saw an 888 somewhere and are convinced you’ll come into some money.
        Thanks
