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.

Hi, I came to your site upon noticing MANY instances of repeating numbers. This past week it’s been 1s, and in the past months is been 5s. Usually I see 4s. I’ve done research into the meanings of numbers. I’m definitely dealing with existential angst due to multiple issues. Seems like a very dark night… darker than other times in my life, as what used to fill me with joy and were my life rafts, no longer seem to work. It’s heartbreaking because they were my passions ever since childhood. The environment I’m in isn’t working for my highly sensitive nature, and upon reflection, it’s been years since I felt ‘at home.’ Dealing with major health concerns now too and finding it difficult to be in this world. I used to be a hopeful person. I appreciate learning what I can from your essays. Thank you, Elle P.S. For your editor: It looks like the body copy that most likely goes along with “1. 11 11 meaning and your life” is written in the first paragraph under “2. Stay open and receptive”, Also, “meaning” should be capitalized. ( It’s second nature for me to notice everything, and I should probably… Read more »
First of all a friend mentioned 11, and then 11 again in a conversation and for some reason it really stood out; played in my mind. Then I saw 11 in a moon reading and it felt significant; like my instinct was pointing it out. Since then I have felt 11 is important at the moment; a sign; a synchronicity. I feel a strong sense of needing to trust my intuition more and follow it; I feel I need to learn how to recognise my intuition more and use this to guide my life. So it’s interesting how this article mentions 11 being associated with intuition; because I keep seeing the word intuition pop up repeatedly at the moment too. I get a strong sense of needing to fulfil my souls purpose but struggling to trust exactly what that is as I’m receiving different messages, so I’m not sure which way to go. But I am paying attention hoping in time, when the times right, this will become more clear in my conscious brain.
I’ve been aware of repetitive or sequential numbers on digital clocks for 25-30 years now. I remember being a teenager and mentioning to my boyfriend at the time (whom I believe I’m still spiritually connected to somehow, even after being out of touch for about 20 years; I have come to understand that we were meant to learn tough lessons about ourselves from each other during our time together, and that was a huge time of growth for me–a true awakening and catalyst for continued growth). I told him that I had been seeing these numbers for a while, and I wasn’t sure what it meant, but that it seemed significant. In particular, I’ll be at work and then randomly look at the clock at 11:11 (that’s the most common one for me), 1:11, 2:22,…etc., or 12:34. When this happens, it definitely gets my attention, and makes me stop and take note of what messages I’m supposed to receive and learn from, but I do have a lot of uncertainty in those moments as to whether I’m meant to be more in tune to something, continue on the path, be open to a new path, stop running from something, or… Read more »
I looked at the clock it was 11:11 and the temperature outside is 11:11 anyone know what that means
I am no believer of magic and superstitions but I find it interesting that multiple times a day I come across 11. Mostly in clocks but that’s not the only source. There are important events in my life that is connected to the date 11. It just varies from time to time like door numbers, token number, parking number and what not. May be I am too much watchful for 11 (or) may be it just happening to me. One thing that found interesting that the occurrence was at peak during 2014 to 2018. I still do see 11 crossing paths but I believe the frequency is noticeably low.
I am huge fan of 11 irrespective of being is magical or not. All the events that are connected to 11 does not have negative impact.
Exactly what I needed to read when I needed to read it, after seeing 11:11 twice a day for maybe 4 days? Waking up at night at 11:11.
I feel like I’m on the verge of bettering myself rather than battering, but I’ve been here so many times, I don’t know how to trust myself or anyone else. I’ve been wanting to escape, alone, but worry about my physical health, money, and what others think. Sometimes it seems like needing time alone is criminal. Am I sick bc I stay here or staying here bc I’m sick?
Love your writing.

Gracias por la ayuda… nos sera muy util.
I cannot ignore seeing 11:11 and 4:44 on the clock any longer. I also see 444 in other contexts, like computer games. It is scaring me. I unplugged the clock and put it away today. This seemed to start after my sister died in Feb of ’21. One of my daughters is also experiencing it. I don’t know what to do. I am scared. The few people I have told about it make fun of me when I open up to them about it. I don’t know if it is good or evil. That’s why I am afraid. I pray to God every night.
I’ve been seeing 11 11
And 11 11 11 thanks for enlightening me on what it means…
