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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ "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 is the 1 year anniversary of my grandson’s birth. He only survived briefly. As I wrote a message to my family inviting them to dinner to honor him, I was started to later see that the invitation was sent out at 11:11.
11:11 occurs twice a day nothing unusual about it. The 24 hour calendar is arbitrary it could easily be divided into other fractions such as 6 or 4 and so forth. Placing meaning on the arbitrary combination of figures is non-nonsensical.
to you.
It’s “non-nonsensical” indeed. Placing a symbolic meaning in anything regardless of whether there’s an innate truth or not in the object that stimulates it is the essence behind many forms of Jungian psychology. The very belief in something provides a gateway to our unconscious.
Short version: I was prompted for lack of a better explanation to look into buying a house. 1st time home buyer. Credit not so good. Applied and to my surprise credit score increased right before I applied by 111 points. Closed on my house on 9/11. The numerical address of my house is 1111. My birthday 5/11. Thank you universe! I got the message!
Seeing almost five times a day ..11:11 again n again ..what it really indicates???
My experience and learning started with this phenomenon. 6 years ago it became too prolific to ignore any more. Things began to unfold because of my insatiable curiosity to ask questions. I began to notice a pattern pertaining to when the answers came. That pattern was directly related to how much heart felt emotion was attached to the question. Usually in a day or two, answers would practically slap me in the face. For instance, for a question that I do not remember now but I certainly remember the answer and how humbling It was. I had been observing a climbing plant my wife had planted a couple of meters from a fence. It was planned to train it to grow into a tree which is done by many people. We are educated that a plant will reach for the sun light, which, for this plant the sun tracked totally opposite the fence all day yet, this plant, never grew towards the light, instead, it maintained a direction towards the fence so it may do what it does in nature, climb. For a moment, I thought what a dumb plant it needs light. Then I realized who the dumb one was, the one less connected to consciousness than the plant.
The moral of this true story is, when we quit asking questions, we separate our mind from our soul and heart because the heart is the mediator between mind and soul. A very wise man once said, “No one will get to heaven but to have the mind of a child.”
Understand that heaven is a state of being, and the mind of a child loosely called innocence, innocence is proven by endless questions.
1111 equals 4. The 4 basic elements of which none would exist without the 1. Do not think about it, ask it a question. The answer will come as sure as the rainbow after a shower.
If I’m thinking negative thoughts and having trust issues, and then straight after I see 11:11 or 10:10 does it mean my Intuition is correct?
This year, I have seen 1111 all the time. Infact it’s getting stronger. I’m also being visited by spirit animals in my sleep, so far…lion, rhino, giraffe, Robin, Tortoise, During the day, butterflies have landed on me, dragonflies stay close to me and occasionally, the odd Robin is nearby. During this whole event, I met a man I dated on and off for 4 years in my Teens. We crossed paths again and have been having a long distance relationship. Although we have many shared interest, we are opposites. I’m leo he’s cancer I’m the sun, he’s the moon, I’m fire he’s water, I’m positive, he’s negative, I have a warm heart, he can be cold. Im fiery, he’s calm, I’m happy he’s moody. And yet, somehow, for some reason we have been reunited after being apart for 25 years. Our relationship isn’t easy. We want each other but live in different countries. We both separated from our spouses last year, a complete coincidence. We are committed to our children. It’s a confusing time for us. But the pull is too great! I wish I knew what and why this is happening. Is there a future or not. Has our fate been written, are we twin flames? I have no idea. But I know i love him and he loves me. Neither of us are strong enough to end it. In the meantime, we take one day at a time. And I wait for the answers from the universe….
Recently I looked at the clock and it was 11:11. The date was November 11. 11/11. I see this quite often, and don’t know what it might mean.
I have been seeing 11 11 for quite some time now, but yesterday, 11-11-18 when I wake up I look at my watch and the first thing I saw was the date: 11-11-18, then went on with my morning, then get ready for work, when I was ready I looked at my watch and was 11:11 am, went to work, then my coworker came in, we talk for a little while and i work with cash registers and i looked at the register for some reason and the time was 1:11, so, i told my coworker that lately I have been seen 11 11, or 1 11, and she said to me: a spirit is trying to contact me, so I told her I was going to take a break, so went to my car and googled 11 11 and got across your website, and I’m so glad I did! Thank you!
so one question , what should I do when I see 11:11 ?I still don’t get it
Amazing article !
I left my cheating ex wife on september 11th, 2011. I never felt so good! Since then at various points i keep seeing #11 and a few of my friends the same. Either at a hotel room party room “2311”, a license plate, the clock, receipts, or somebody i’m talking too in person i’ll glance at something and 11 appears. I think it’s a sign that a guardian angel or spirit is showing us the way. Or i’d be thinking of somebody and they walk back into my life.
