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:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ "Receiving these messages is a beacon of light and hope for me in currently very challenging times. The words of wisdom speak right to my soul, guiding and encouraging me further on my path. I highly recommend Shadow & Light to everyone who seeks to develop and cultivate a relationship with the Inner Self." – Karin
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.

today first i saw 1111 but unlike other times it’s just stuck in my head, then just a few moment ago i saw 2020. is it trying to say anything to me?
Hi! I keep seeing 1111, 111, 555 and a lafybug appeared! Lately ive been looking for love. Is it possible that ive already met my soulmate?
Our youngest child a son born 11/4/88 committed suicide on 11/11/16. Crying again and still. Seems like we, the rest of the family Dad, Mom, Sister & Brother see call or send messages & notice :11 minutes all the time. Find coins, mostly dimes & pennies from heaven. Have had TVs, dart board, radio, lights turn on or off. 4 years today. Still so difficult. We were all so close. Not a lot of extended family close by, but some really good to call. We even saw a white beautiful calm dog at a shelter about 3 weeks after Seth passed. My daughter and I cried when we saw it, named Ziggy, just looked in our eyes like an angel. Seth would have picked that name. Dad and I went a week later to see about getting this dog. We were told they never had a dog like that. We went to the pen and said the beautiful white dog that was there – nope, not ever. Call the kids and told them- shocked as we all saw Ziggy. We feel Seth was present & a present. Had to share this- it helps as sometimes people don’t get it.

My brother in law is about to pass, keep seeing 11 11 twice. This tells me I’m in God’s will as I am keeping vigil at my home while my sister is with her husband surrounded by his family
Time and the measurement of time is a human concept. It is easy to count with numbers like 60 or 24, because they share many common divisors, like 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.
In christian countries, the date is based on the born of Jesus, which is also a human concept after all (not Jesus, but the start of counting).
So the only certain point is this whole made up concept is the measurement of year, because it’s based on the Earth getting around the Sun. You can be sure about the point in time where you were born “XY” years ago.
Of course there must be a relative point in time that you can name and call out to tell your birthdate to make many things easier, but that’s the human concept here again, so the part of numerology which is based on the measurement of our time system, seems mostly made up for me.
We can’t accept things and ideas as absolute truth which are based on human made concepts.
When I first met my ex, we connected over our mutual statement of noticing it was 11:11 and to make a wish. This article kinda makes me nervous that I messed up a relationship with my soul mate.
I feel so left out. Tons of my friends are seeing it everywhere, not me. Of course I rarely pay attention to time and hardly ever leave my house. Still, I feel like I’m missing something. Like there’s a hole in my soul.
Oh Amber – it doesn’t mean they are further down ‘the path’ than you – we are all exactly where we are supposed to be at this exact moment. Take joy in looking around you and celebrate all that you have created in your life. You ARE amazing – I believe in you and KNOW you are a phenomenal human being. I am sending you a huge hug and much love – blessing Bee
Hi Amber! Not seeing these numbers doesnt mean you’re not on the right path. I rarely leave my house too and i keep seeing these numbers. Its normal if you dont see them, it doesnt mean you arent paying attention. It’ll come by itself dont you worry
I have been seeing 1111 for months now sometimes 3 maybe 4 times daily and I was not exactly sure what it meant, but after reading your article and with everything else I’ve been experiencing over the last year I now have a greater understanding of what it means to me and where it fits within my spiritual awakening. Thank you so much this has come at just the right time.
I’m so glad this article helped you Linda! Thanks for sharing :)
Dear Luna, thank you for the great, clarifying article. I’ve been seeing the number 11 almost every time, when I look to my phone to see, what the time is! And 11.11 quite often. I always stop doing whatever I’m doing at that moment and try to connect with this Higher energy. I love that! What is interesting: I told about it a friend and now even he sees these numbers very, very often. How comes?
Thank you, Petra
Hey Petra,
Perhaps you coming to greater awareness also has inspired your friend as well? That might be why. You both are on a similar ‘vibration’ as they say ;)
