Have you always been curious about numbers and number sequences showing up in your awareness?
Numbers are the foundation of our mathematical system, which has been around since ancient civilizations. In the early times, rudimentary systems were used, such as using tally marks and counting with objects. This progressed to Egyptian hieroglyphs and numerals, cuneiform numerals, Babylonian numerals, Roman numerals, and the decimal number system using zero as a placeholder. The Renaissance introduced Arabic numbers, Fibonacci sequences, and algebraic notations. Today, we use scientific notation, computer science, binary code, encryption, and blockchain technology in addition to quantum theory and entanglement, which is another whole ball of wax. We will discuss my personal numerology insights: angel numbers decoded. Numbers are signs and symbols from the Universe to draw your attention to awareness.
I began to be interested in numbers when I was younger. I'm no math whiz by any stretch of the imagination. I didn’t know why, but when I started playing softball around age eight, I was adamant about having the number 7 on my jersey. All the years I played up into college, I had the number 7 or the number 5. Starting around the same age, I was waking up in the middle of the night at 3 a.m. or at 3:33 a.m. very frequently. I knew some energy was there with me. I could feel it, and I could hear them. But I was a bit frightened, and at the time, I didn’t speak about it to many people. I eventually mentioned it to a cousin of mine who told me that 3 o’clock was when Jesus died on the cross. Well, that didn’t make me feel any more at ease.
Do you see numbers on billboards, signs, license plates, bank statements, or sales receipts? If you are traveling, do you notice numbers on highways or routes? Or does a particular phone number or page number in a book catch your eye? Numerology is an ancient form of divination. According to Wikipedia, numerology, which was known before the 20th century as arithmancy, is the belief in an occult, divine, or mystical relationship between a number and one or more coinciding events.
I didn’t realize until much later in life what it all meant. How numbers have a vibrational frequency to them and they can be interpreted to have certain meanings. In the beginning of my spiritual awakening, I would see 111 and 1111 constantly. I still see these numbers quite frequently. Becoming more aware and noticing signs and synchronicities are part of the journey and the Divine tapping you on the shoulder to pay attention. Some people even call them Angel numbers for this reason. I love knowing I am supported and communicated with. I just have to pay attention.
I would often get other number frequencies, and at first, I would look them up to see what they meant. But, from my experience, I understand it to have to do with what you are thinking and feeling in the moment. The number manifests for you, letting you know you are heading in a certain direction as far as your thoughts and feelings go. From my experience, the best way to interpret the meaning of the numbers is to explore your own thoughts and feelings when the sequences appear. You can use the other meanings for the sequences if they resonate with you. Messages from the Universe are vast, and numbers are certainly one way it can communicate with you.

Numbers are interwoven throughout our society here on earth. We use numbers for almost everything. Mathematics, science, astronomy, astrology, money, measurements, and putting things in order. The list is infinite. I feel using numerology as signs and symbols from the spirit world is fascinating and can be most beneficial. When I see numerical sequences it always helps me to feel better and at ease. Here, I will go over some of the meanings of the basic numbers 0–9. Knowing a basic feeling of each number can guide you to become more aware of your own thoughts and feelings. Not to become judgmental but to increase your awareness. These meanings are meant to be a guidepost for you to explore. Remember, nothing is cut and dry or has one way of perceiving. Things can be changed by changing your thoughts and recognizing numerical signs from the higher aspect of yourself can be used to help you along the way. Best advice: Take what resonates and leave the rest.
Number 0.
The number zero is symbolic of the All or the Oneness. Infinity. The cycles of life, union, having no beginning and having no end. Wholeness, the circle of life, inclusive, all-powerful, creativity, things coming together in the womb of creation. Higher spiritual forces at work, the start of something new and exciting. It means nothing and everything all at the same time. A level up on your journey. A knowing of yourself at a deeper level. Zero is used as a placeholder in mathematics today, and when applied, it adds increasingly more to whatever number it's combined with. Zero is a feminine number to me. When this number shows up with other numbers, it adds infinite power to them.
Number 1
The number one is a symbol for the first, out for number one, single, independent, doing things alone, standing tall, excited to be the first to try things differently or to jump in first. Assertiveness, achievement, autonomy, inventiveness, success-oriented, risk-taking, and masculine energy. When the number one shows up more than once, it feels like a portal of transition that is rapidly transforming. I like to think of the number one as confirmation of being my own guidance system, trusting in my own ideas and wisdom.
Number 2
The number two is a symbol of partnerships, harmony with yourself and others, teamwork, love, union, bringing together different aspects of something or someone, parallel, and seeing commonality in others rather than differences. Two is the intuitive, sensitive peacemaker, able to see both sides of the story from a balanced perspective and guide solutions that are beneficial to both parties. For me, two is a very feminine number. When I see the number two, it lets me know I'm in harmony and balanced in my life's path.
Number 3
The number three is a symbol of cohesiveness between a group of things. The trinity, the holy trinity, the mind, body, and spirit connection, the divineness of all things. It calls to mind Ascended Masters and the like. A powerful creativity of being able to mix and flow with all the energies of life in a masterful way. It involves the combination of masculine and feminine with the addition of the spirit. These energies work in tandem with each other, complementing and uplifting each to a complete state. The number three represents creating, flowing, embodying all aspects of being. The triangle represents the balance of the spiritual consciousness of awareness, enlightenment, and thought. When I see the number three, it reminds me of Ascended Masters and their presence in my life imparting wisdom, philosophy, and guidance.
Number 4
The number four is a number of stability, security, and sturdiness. Like the four legs on a chair or table, it's balanced and strong. Like a square, it's even and equally strong on all sides.
It resonates with strength, durability, a solid foundation, inner strength, pillar of strength, integrity, honesty, dependability, conservatism, hard work, planning, and organization. When I see the number four, it reminds me of angelic presence. I know the angels are around, working things out in my favor, and supporting me on my journey.
Number 5
The number five is right in the middle of all the other numbers, indicating a possibilities that are available. It's the tipping point of change and dynamism. The number five indicates change in one direction or the other. Your mindset and outlook have everything to do with what direction you are headed. Adaptability, personal freedom, courage, independence, flexibility, healing, having an open mind, and acceptance of changes and looking at things in a positive manner allow you to transcend the changes. When fives show up for me, I know the Universe is letting me know my ideas and what I'm working on are progressing enough to create change in a positive manner towards my goals. On the other hand, if five shows up and I notice my thinking and feeling are not what I desire, I can choose in that moment to shift to a higher state of being.
Number 6
The number six is like a doubling of the number three. The divine masculine and feminine energy combined into a powerful force. Six reminds me of family, togetherness, coming together through your true home and space of beingness. It has a mothering nature that is compassionate and nurturing. A harmonious balance between the material world and your spiritual world, emotional depth, honesty and integrity, service to yourself and others through compassionate action. When the number six shows up for me, I know it's time to sink deeper into myself and know solutions and ideas are already in place. There is a peace that knows everything I need is already taken care of, and I need to relax and receive.
Number 7
The number seven has always been one of my favorite numbers. Maybe the conditioning of "lucky number seven" comes to mind. It reminds me of spirituality, faith, connectedness, knowing of light and dark, self-empowerment, spiritual wisdom, a deep knowing of beingness and humanism, sensitivity, intuition, being able to read between the lines and interpret verbal and written conversations more deeply, esoteric knowledge, deep contemplation, discernment, writing, positive signs of following your soul's purpose, and guidance for deepening your practices or discovering new skills are favored.
Number 8
The number eight is a horizontal infinity sign. It resonates with material freedom, good judgment, manifesting, depth of creating and manifesting ideas into form, abundance, insight, success, achievement, desire to serve others, managing, belief in unknown possibilities, and willingness to explore things that don't currently exist, taking an idea and molding it into reality.
Number 9
The number nine is all about completions and new beginnings. It can be difficult to let go of things from the past, but it is important to let all these energies flow to allow new and better experiences to come to you. There is no need to hold on to the old when new benevolent experiences are awaiting. Nine frequency is three times itself. Nine represents universal love, spiritual laws, humanitarianism, leading by example, positivity, seeing things from a higher perspective, beauty, optimism, and duty to serve. To me, nines are auspicious in nature and give me a feeling of cleaning out the old to make room for opportunities that are brighter and better.
Numbers are guideposts sent to you from the Universe, angels, and the spirit world for you to become aware of. Once you start noticing and paying attention to them, you will receive more and more signs in numbers. Noticing signs and symbols, whether numbers or something else, increases your awareness of all things and eventually leads you to yourself. Take these meanings as they resonate with you and add your own meanings to them. Start a relationship with your higher self and become all that you were meant to be. Let the Universe guide you towards yourself and have fun with all the numerical signs you receive.
