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.
Spiritual Wanderer Course:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ "I started the Spiritual Wanderers Course a short while ago and for the first time in twelve years I have started to experience love, acceptance and compassion for myself and within myself. Thank you so much." – Vivienne S.
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.
Shadow & Light Membership:
Dissolve the shadows that obscure your inner Light in this weekly email-based membership! Perfect for any soul seeker serious about practicing ongoing shadow work and self-love.
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 began seeing 11:11 on clocks all the time right around the time I graduated from high school in 1999. It was such an important number to me even though I had no idea what it meant. So much I got married on 11-11-11. Just recently about a year ago as I was going through a difficult separation I began seeing it all the time. Everywhere I looked there it was. Then most recently I began seeing 7:11. For three nights in a row I woke up abruptly from sleep to see the clock read 7:11. Now I’m experiencing a period where those occurrences are few and infrequent and wonder if I’m still on the right path. I don’t feel the rush and excitement I once did.
I see 517 often, and typically it lets me know something is going to change if i see it like 3 times in a short time. Other times its letting me know to stay on the path of what im doing, or even a warning sometimes to pay more attention around me. Sort like the deja vu cat in the matrix, i see it and im like ok something has changed, re evaluate everything haha deeper meanings of the numbers theirself has produced many different meanings, but i just feel whatever it is when i see it now. But im open to any more info on this number since its not very common apparently
This article came to me at the exact right time! I have been seeing repeating numbers for about four years. For the past two weeks or so I have been seeing repeating numbers whenever I just happen to glance at the time, especially 11 11 or 1 11. Yesterday I happened to catch the time on my computer and it was 11:11. This morning I saw your email about this article and again it was 11:11 starring back at me! Interesting how nonphysical reality begins to manifest itself into your life once you realize it’s there and has been there all along.
Synchronicity is quite mysterious, isn’t it? :)
I am coming across this no. 11:11 most often since last few months, i am loving solitude, things are not falling into my place, regularly i keep dreaming about some horrible shit and no reason to stay happy nd still how cn i be on right path? Iam really worried nd i always get scared whenever i see this number. I am taken aback, i run out to people as i get scared after seeing this number. Please guide
Hi Luna. Throughout my life there has been a repetitive number yet now after reading this article I’m left wondering if it has any significance at all. The number does keep rearing up at the most odd times except not in the layout you write about, the number is 69. I have been to hell and back like most of us have and I am very empathic and this number appears to me in the strangest ways. I believe in all that you are, Luna and Sol, as I have been directed to you through the higher power that is spirit. Maybe you can see the significance of 69.
I’m not sure if you will even read this so just putting it out there because apart from my email I do not use social media so doubt we will make contact yet if it’s meant to be then it will happen. As i write this I am feeling overjoyed and full of love, peace and gratitude.
In the spirit of love to you both and the strong community that is Loner Wolf.
Thanks for sharing Paul. To me 69 is a number that speaks of duality and non-duality – the yin and yang in number form. Perhaps this resonates with you?
I have also been through such a horrific experience that I feel like I touched death. Here I am different. A new version a better version a more caring, loving emotional sensitive scared confused lonely Where do I start I’m in turmoil
Hey Doris. It sounds like you’re going through a death and rebirth process. Stay with it ❤️ find ways of creating pockets of calm and safety, remembering that you have all the strength you need in your core to get through this.
This is the one place where they do not turn their backs on you, the isolation of pain can be shared and loneliness recinded. I felt weak and confused until devine intervention led me to this site, maybe it’s the same for you? It is a process of steps that will eventually allow you to stride with your head held high and warmth in your soul, gratitude to the spirit is a daily occurence and maybe you’ll find the right path here that takes away the want of death,(we are so much more than we give ourselves credit for), so please keep in mind that you are NOT alone.
Hi Aletheia,
My daughter was born 11/11/02 so I often thin about 11/11 especially as it is Remembrance Day.
Great article. Thank you. I am an 11:11 person, a Major Manifestor and this has deep meaning to me. I can easily manifest and I have manifested a deep connection with my Soul, Spirit where it “talks” to me through seeing these numbers constantly. This is very real. I am paying attention.
I have this guy friend that has sent me many texts at 11:11. I have also seen it many times when he is around there have been a few times he showed me a picture on his phone when he locked the screen it said 11:11.
What could it mean if you keep seeing it associated with a specific person being in your presence texting etc.?
Hi.
I see the number 9:11
Often. What can this mean??
Thanks.
I have been seeing 11:11 for more than a year now but knew nothing about it, other than that I kept seeing it. At some point, I said to myself, ‘wait a minute, this cannot be a coincidence,’ and started looking up 11:11 to see if it had significance, and found out it does. I continue to see it and know that I’m being communicated with by the Universe, my spirit guide(s), something. Now I stop, listen, and reflect when it see it, sometimes in unique combinations, like while reading this article just now, I saw it again as 6:11 on 11/3. That happens a lot. I no longer take these for granted.
