Growing up, I always kissed my left knee at 11:11, making a wish so big that only 11:11 seemed powerful enough to make it come true. Or when my total at Target is $22.22 (a rare occurrence because who only spends $20 at Target?!), I feel like the universe is silently giving me a forehead kiss. Maybe I put on a song (from Midnights, obvi) and see that my favorite song is exactly 3 minutes and 33 seconds long. All of these instances, and their repetition of numbers, are called “angel numbers.”
Angel numbers are a repetitive sequence of three or four numbers. (333, 8888, 4:44) Each sequence has its unique meaning that is often shown to you when you need to see it most. Whether you tie the meaning to a higher power, entity, angel, God, the universe, or simply your higher state of consciousness, they have significance. For this reason, people often believe that the universe shows these angel numbers to remind us that we’re on the right path.
Angel numbers are so special because they can appear anywhere throughout your day. They’re on the billboard you passed driving to class, the receipt from your bomb lunch at Chipotle, and the clock you’re anxiously checking while you’re running late. Angel numbers sneak their way into the mundane and the ordinary. They’re a gentle push, reminding us of the importance of pausing our busy day-to-day lives. Reminding us that what we’re going through is leading us to something greater.

In numerology, the number one is ruled by the sun. The sun is the symbol of life —it’s what allows all of us to be on this planet.
