Another important characteristic of angel numbers is that they're extremely fluid: You may be followed by an angel number for years, or you may experience an angel number as a singular occurrence. While zodiac sign personality traits offer insight on your likes, dislikes, tastes, and preferences, angel numbers don't shed light on your identity, but rather the ways in which you're moving through the world.

Unlike the zodiac signs, astrology birth charts, or even calculating your life path number in numerology, Angel Numbers aren't determined by your date, time, and/or location of birth. One of the ways angel numbers differ from other esoteric practices is that they're not linked to your birth information. Whether you believe that angels are sending you hyper-specific messages or that your subconscious is affirming your consciousness, angel numbers have made a lasting impression on our psyche. And, over the past two decades, this concept has taken the metaphysical community by storm. Fast-forward a few thousand years, and an author named Doreen Virtue published dozens of books in the early 2000s on 'angel numbers,' coining the term and exploring the unique, mystical messages baked into number sequences.

The ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras was a brilliant mathematician, but - in addition to inventing unique quantitative solutions - Pythagoras believed that our reality is a physical manifestation of the energetic vibration of numbers.

Whether you assign them to angels, guides, ancestors, spirits, or simply a higher state of your own consciousness, angel numbers can confirm you're on the right path, shed invaluable insight on a complicated situation, or even illuminate the powerful, mystical meaning behind recurring themes you experience throughout your life.īelieve it or not, the power and significance of repeating integers has actually been around for hundreds of years. The reason we're enchanted by these sequences, however, is an extension of their symbolism: It is believed that these numbers are messages from the spiritual universe that offer insight, wisdom, and directionality. Although they may appear in the most ordinary places, these digits usually grab our attention and - even if for only a moment - evoke a sense of wonder. Within numerology, angel numbers are number sequences (usually three or four numbers) that contain repetition (such as 111 or 4444) and/or patterns (such as 321 or 8787). So what do they mean? What do they tell us? And how can we work with them? Let's dive in! What are angel numbers?

You can find references to angel numbers all over Instagram, Witchtok (and Astrologytok and Manifestationtok, for that matter). Angel numbers are the perfect example of this TANC phenomenon. Have you ever looked at your phone, only to discover the time is exactly 11:11? Or perhaps you noticed your favorite song is two minutes and twenty-two seconds long, and moments later ordered a cup of coffee that totaled $2.22? These are referred to as angel numbers and, in the metaphysical realms where practitioners such as myself operate, there are no coincidences (in fact, I coined this term's acronym - TANC - back in 2019, and it's become somewhat of a catchphrase in my work).
