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:
Being a lone wolf and a spiritual wanderer is a sacred calling in life – a unique and alchemical path of awakening. You don’t need to feel lost, alone, or stuck on your journey any more. It’s time to meet your soul’s deep needs for clarity, self-acceptance, and empowerment. Let us show you how …
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:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ "Shadow and Light’s weekly guidance always rings true to my heart. Thanks for acknowledging my shadows and inviting my inner light. I always get excited to open the Shadow and Light emails on Sunday!" – Angela M.
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.

Hi! Can it be that 11:11 misguided me? Can it be I made a big mistake by believing in 11:11? Are there anybody else who begin to believe that 11:11 may be just coincidence?
Long story short:
My co-worker fell in love with me (while already being in relationship) and our first date occurred on 11th of November (!). Actually it wasn’t typical date, it was just a long long evening together. Nothing romantic from me. We had a very very long walk together… I kinda saw a big potential in her, we looked at each other like we were meant to be together for ages…
Two days passed and she dumped her boyfriend without any regrets.
I knew about that special 11:11 meaning before that day, but I didn’t realize it was 11th of November that day our date occurred…
I had a lot of doubts about her as I didn’t like her sexual past, I didn’t like her being so fast in falling in love with me and so on. But I kinda believed in that number…
We had very happy 4 years together (the best years in my life) and recently she met another guy… She fell in love with him instantly, they had emotional affair… She chose that guy over me without regrets…
But I love her anyways and think she was a love of my life… 40 days passed and I still think of her everyday… We had so much in common…
I still can’t figure out what happened. Can it be called Twin Flame Separation? Would Twin Flames even be so brutal to each other? She lied she had a lot of job, but she continuously chatted with him… It lasted for 3-5 weeks. She gave all her energy and smiles to him… I was left out.
I feel I was fooled by that 11:11…
Hi Denis,
Maybe the 1111 was to draw your attention to yourself? While it may seem coincidental that you had so much in common with this lady, she may have been a karmic lesson for you instead of a twin flame. Karmics can seem very much like a twin flame. They enter our lives to teach us life lessons. Is there something within you that needs some healing? Do you find yourself in the same type of relationships? They may make you have butterflies and all you can do is think of them like a drug or sugar high. In the end, they will be a very painful experience and most times will involve toxic people, liars, and cheaters. You must whatever lesson they are presenting to you and practice self love. After you’ve learned your life lesson will you meet your twin flame. You’ll feel a sense of recognition with this person when you meet them. Twin flames can also cause you to look within yourself as they are mirrors to us. When you go through separation phase, you’ll know because one of you will run from the relationship and the other will chase because the feeling will be intense. Twin flames are not toxic relationships. They may not necessarily be easy but they are not toxic. They should not cause you pain like a karmic. The best way to work through a separation is to continue to work on yourself and live your best life. They will come back. Best wishes and I hope this helps!
Thank you very much for reply!
I think it was more like she had to learn a karmic lesson by having me in her life. I learned a lot too actually. So win-win here, I guess.
She was my first true love, my first partner. That’s why it hurted a lot, but I almost healed. And that bigger picture I begin to see is so beautiful! Everything has a reason, truly.
be gratefull for those 4 happy years!!! and take it like you was testing and preparing yourself for someone better!!!!!
Never start a relationship to woman who is still dating and leaves her present man. She will do that to you also in a heartbeat.
I believe in your own case, It was a warning. Not all that glitters.
Luna,
Your words in this lesson have touched my Soul, and have helped me to realize the truth of spiritual awakening. 11:11 has been appearing to me countless times everyday lately. I’m eternally grateful for your teachings and kindness. I’m forging a new path for my new and wonderful future. Thank You!
When I start seeing the number 1111, I will soon have a series of deja vu occurrences. When I have these episodes (if you could call it that.) het more and more powerful. In the beginning it use to only be short glimpses and realisation afterwards. But now I’d notice the deja vu experience before it ends.
I keep seeing repetitive numbers quite frequently..11:11 …4:44..3:33..1:11 on my clock..or on drivers license plates at times. More so on my clock on my phone or alarm clocks. I feel loved when i see these numbers but don’t understand there meaning its been going on for about 2 and a half years now.Other numbers too in frequence on the time…3:33 etc..
I have been seeing 11s in my dreams and there is always significant changes in my life like moving house or happenings where I have to make changes in my life. Thanks for article.
This is interesting as I remember reading my plunket book as I always thought I was born at 10.30am but the records in my plunket book have me being born at 11.11am and I was born on the 7/7/87 and weighed 3030 grams.
Hey Paula! I just wanted to say hello to you. I love all of your numbers. I was born 7.7.57, so I am 30 years older then you to the day!!! I did not have the great time of birth or birth weight you had, but it’s just nice to meet someone with a shared birthday!!!
Hi, I’ve recently stared to see the numbers 11:11 on clocks over the last few days. I am not very familiar to what it may mean so I was hoping for some advice on how to figure that out.
The first time I saw it was on Monday, 11:11 am. I saw it on a drs computer. I had gone with my roommate to a meeting with his dr regarding my roommates upcoming lung transplant. (My roommate needs to have 3 support people in place as one of the criteria to make him eligible for the transplant. I have agreed to be one of them.)
Yesterday, Thursday, I saw it twice. 11:11 am as I was waiting to see my dr regarding my broken ankle and then again at 11:11 pm while watching Netflix. I have not been able to really connect them to any commonalities or feelings. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Well once again I have seen 1111 and I am going through ( and it’s my birthday today wow right) something right now in my life . My feelings are that I feel lost like most of my life. But what’s werid is that I feel like am suppose to do something very big in life for people but I don’t know what it may be. So am stuck not knowing what I should do. I try really hard to keep my mind open but I’m still looking for that one thing . Currently am praying every night for guidance and direction. So if y’all have any idea’s PLEASE let me know. Thanks God bless Edward
Its gotten to the point where they don’t mean a thing. I see these numbers so often I wish they would either tell me something or quit.
I am surrounded by 444 the most, where as 333, 111, 777 and 888 are present in my day in that order of frequency.
Edward, I have exact situation, Also I lost my husband about the time you wrote your story, weird huh,,? And I saw the number 11:11 all the time up until his accident, and the day that he passed I got gasoline in the car and it’s total was his birthday,,,I believe in numbers, but I also think its coincidental too, but I am lost anyway now so it really doesn’t matter anymore. Screw the numbers, just get me to the next level.
For years my family and I have seen the number 11 11. Whenever we were together and saw that number we would stop, make a wish, and say the word watermelon! We aren’t sure why we picked the word watermelon!
Hi Todd,
Why watermelon?
Oh, Wow when I say this is a spiritual awakening.. I’m so inspired by the way these daily Reminders keeps me focus and gives me such a joyous feeling that can’t be explained.. Because if you haven’t experienced it and try to explain it to others they would look at you alittle crazy… But my mind ,body and soul is intertwined with this spiritual awakening that I only can come to a positive outcome from it.. It’s a breath of fresh Air.. Thanks a lot… Need these articles to help me on my spiritual journey..
