Numbers are the Universal language offered by the deity to humans as confirmation of the truth.
– St. Augustine of Hippo (A.D. 354 – 430)
You have glanced at the number again on the clock: 11:11 am. A chill runs through your spine. Deep down, you intuitively sense that this number has some kind of great importance … but you don’t know what.
If you have been seeing 11 11 and other repetitive numbers such as 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 1010, 1212, 777, and so forth, pay attention! There is an important reason why you’re seeing these numbers more often: these numbers are wake-up calls from your Soul and the Universe.
The Secret Meaning of Numbers
Numbers have a way of taking a man by the hand and leading him down the path of reason.
– Pythagoras
It was the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras who first popularized the idea that all numbers have different vibrational properties. Since then, modern science and mathematics have shown that the world conforms to precise geometric mathematical principles. These principles govern everything from gravity to the movements of animals and the habits of humanity.
It was thanks to Pythagoras’ discoveries about the world that the ancient system of Numerology was developed. Some scholars even believe that Numerology pre-dates Pythagoras and derives from the ancient mystical Hebrew Kabbalah which is thousands of years old.
Numerology is a system of divination that assigns various numbers unique meanings based on mathematical principles. According to numerology, everything can be calculated, such as birth dates, names, and places, to uncover deeper hidden truths.
11 11 Meaning
According to numerology, the number 11 is a “master number,” which signifies intuition, insight, and enlightenment. When paired together, 11 11 is a clear message from the universe to become conscious and aware. Many people suggest that seeing 11 11 signifies that your spirit guides are attempting to contact you. In my experience, 11 11 seems to be the number of spiritual awakening, signifying that you are on the right path and your actions are aligned with your Soul’s purpose. In other words, seeing 11 11 is a good sign! An energetic doorway is being opened in which you will experience spiritual growth.
11 11 meaning in summary: You are on the right path, and you’re being assisted by your Soul, spirit guides, and the Universe to grow and expand consciously. Pay attention, be aware, and remember to stay grounded in the present moment.

11 11 and the Spiritual Awakening Journey
Seeing repetitive numbers like 1111 is a form of synchronicity (or a meaningful coincidence) – it can be thought of as a wake-up call; a cry from your deeper Self to pay attention and be present.
In this way, we can see 11 11 as something of a meditation bell: you are being asked to tune into the present moment and the love/guidance that is always available to you. You are being asked to engage more deeply in the mystery and wonder of existence, understanding that there is an Intelligence much greater than yours at play.
Seeing 11 11, or any repetitive number for that matter is, therefore, an intrinsic part of the spiritual awakening process.
Not only does it instill a sense of curiosity and awe within us, but it makes us pause, stop, and question. Momentarily, we exit the asleep and trancelike (or samsaric) mode of living and access a more mindful way of being.
Therefore, if you keep seeing 11 11, you are probably undergoing a spiritual awakening process.
Other signs that you are “waking up” include seeing other spiritual signs and omens (like repeated dreams and animal encounters), experiencing heightened intuition, struggling with a Dark Night of the Soul, craving more solitude, feeling dissatisfied with life, and more. You can read more of these signs – and find out whether you’re having this experience or not – in our spiritual awakening article.
11 11 and Sacred Relationships
As we’ve just learned, 11 11 is a number connected to the spiritual awakening process.
Sometimes, part of that journey involves meeting your soul mate – that is, entering a spiritual partnership (or conscious/sacred relationship) that is designed to help you grow on every level. If you have been looking for love and keep seeing 11 11, this might signify that your soul mate is about to enter your life. Be open, receptive, and mindful of any signs or dreams that emerge during this time.
What Do I Do After Seeing 11 11?
As your consciousness expands, you’ll find yourself seeing numbers such as 11 11 more and more often. These instances are known as synchronicity because you are in the divine flow of life. Personally, I would see 11 11 and other repetitive numbers sometimes four or five times a day as I began to experience a spiritual awakening. All of these numbers seemed to anchor me into the present moment and the truth I was experiencing. I would always feel more grounded and lovingly guided during these periods, knowing that there was “something happening” beyond the veil of physical reality.
In order to make the most of seeing his unusual and powerful number, you might like to adopt a few practices:
1. 11 11 meaning and your life
2. Stay open and receptive
Ask yourself, “What does 11 11 signify to me?” In other words, when you see this number, how do you feel or what thoughts arise in your head? Your 11 11 meaning will often vary each time you see it. For example, one moment, it might mean, “Pay attention!” and on another day, it might mean, “You are on the right path, keep going.” You might also like to try journaling about your observations to take these reflections deeper. Learn more about how to journal.
Be alert to new opportunities for growth. 11 11 often signifies that a period of change is about to start within you. Remember that all people, feelings, and situations that you come across are chances to evolve spiritually. Ask yourself, “What new opportunities or doorways are being opened to me?“
3. Remain grounded and present
Our tendency to live through the mind creates immense stress and anxiety. During this awakening period, try to stay grounded in the present moment. You might like to practice mindfulness, deep breathing, meditation, or other grounding practices to help you stay centered. The more present you can be, the more you will be available for growth. When you don’t stay grounded, you might miss the message that is being offered to you.
4. Show gratitude
Life responds positively to gratitude. Even the simplest act of giving thanks for what you have and the guidance you’re receiving uplifts your spirit immediately. Being grateful opens the heart, and when your heart is open, it is ready to expand. As a result, gratitude helps you to integrate the messages and lessons of 11 11.

5. Ask for guidance when needed
All of us, no matter who we are or what period of life we’re in, need help. If you need advice or help, reach out to someone you trust. Speak with a close friend, family member, spirit guide, or, best of all, your own Soul. One of the simplest but most effective ways to receive guidance, in my experience, is by saying a prayer. Address your prayer to whomever or whatever you believe in, whether that be God, Goddess, Allah, Krishna, Life, or Spirit. I prefer to address my prayers to my Soul. Seeing 11 11 is often a sign that you need to reach out for support and connection.

I would like to know why I see 11 11 on clocks, phone, tv, etc and approx 2 to 3 weeks later someone close passes away ??
Thanks for bringing attention to this…I was beginning to think I was going crazy and no one took this seriously. Great article.
I am seeing a lot of 11:11 lately and 12:12 or 21:21. Before that it was 69 going for a while. Then 96. And now 1111. Today I had to go meet my brother at the notary to sign some papers. We had an appointment at 11:00. It was in Montreal in a very busy area and it was so complicated to find a parking spot. I arrived in front of the building at 10h35 and went around for 30 minutes before I found a spot. And so I was late. I go into the building. Enter the office. Tell the receptionist I have arrived. She asks me to sit and wait. I sit and see the clock on the counter 11:11. I’m still trying to figure out my purpose in life. I work so hard to change soooo many false beliefs. It must mean I’m on the right path 🙂
I have been doing a lot of work on myself these past few months. I constantly see 11:11 or 9:11 on the clock (twice a day ) I have also been doing a gratitude journal daily and trying to ground myself more. I feel better than I have in many many years since practicing gratitude…. Even showing gratitude at the sink full of dirty dishes I used to avoid w every ounce of my being. Now it’s just something I thank God and the Universe for daily .
11:11:11 was the day my mum past on.
11:11 reminds me of my twin flame. He’s the reason behind my healing, even though he doesn’t want me now and is really avoiding while I have to maintain no contact because, I cut him deep with pains. Now am focusing on healing all the triggers to my traumas. I think of him and hear his voice. He was and is still my teacher and hope before we leave this world someday I’ll see him again and hold him, look at him and live with him. If we ever meet, I will not loose him again.
Is there a different meaning for consecutive numbers; I have seen 11;11 and 10:10 and 12:12 etc. but I lately have been seeing numbers like 12:34 and 234 (numerologically my destiny number w/ reduced numbers totals 99 but if I use full numbers (e.g., P=16, not 7), my name totals 234, which is also the time of day I was born, so when I see this number I know it’s for me but I don’t know what or why.
around the year 2016 i started experiencing some weird stuff ,
in a week i could see the time 11:11 about 6 times in a week.
This kept happeneing over and over and i then felt this is’nt normal.
around the year 2022 i just assumed i’m less busy around the time 11:11 and maybe just unconsiously looking at the time 11:11 so i let it go.
last night i had same experience and it just feels too weird and i heard to do a google search and found lonerwolf with a lot of users having same experiences.
Although i came in to see an explanation but i’ve become more confused and uncertain about it.
There are a lot of ways seeing that number could be interpreted and I find it hard to believe that it could mean so many things. Clearly it is a calling, but is it a calling as a warning, a head’s-up, or do I have to guess what I’m being told? How do I answer the calling? How do I know if I missed it? There are too many variables and it only has me more confused. I want to believe but I can’t anymore.
