Making a wish at 11:11 might be customary, but it can't just be a coincidence if you keep seeing the number 1111 everywhere. The universe must be trying to tell you something, right?

It’s definitely possible, according to numerology, the study of numbers and their spiritual significance. Numerology is said to reveal anything from what steps you should take next to achieve a goal, to aspects of your personality, a.k.a. your life path number.

Angel numbers, such as 1111, are a subset of numerology, and describe the assignment of meaning to the repetition of the same or similar numbers, says Aliza Kelly, a professional numerologist, celebrity astrologer, and author of There Are No Coincidences: A Manifestation Deck & Guidebook. “1111, in particular, can range from just being four numbers stacked together to signifying a divine intervention” depending on how you experience it, she explains.

Joy Woodward is a numerologist and the author of A Beginner's Guide to Numerology: Decode Relationships, Maximize Opportunities, and Discover Your Destiny based in Edmonton, Canada.

Ahead, numerologists explain what 1111 might mean in all facets of your life.

What is an angel number?

"Numerology would define an angel number as a repeating digit or a progressive digit," says Joy Woodward, a numerologist and the author of A Beginner's Guide to Numerology: Decode Relationships, Maximize Opportunities, and Discover Your Destiny based in Edmonton, Canada. They usually carry some kind of special meaning about your life, she adds, and you might see an angel number on a clock, address, or receipt.

Every angle number has a different meaning. For instance, 111 is a powerful figure for manifestation, while seeing three 2's is about trust and alignment, Kelly says. And angel number 333 is a sign of creativity and ambition, she adds.

What does the number 1 mean in numerology?

One is all about new beginnings, Woodward says. The number one encourages you to take actions and "manifest instantly." Simply put, this angel number is all about energy, ideas, and newness.

What does 1111 mean?

The number 1111 is thought of as a symbol of your own personhood and identity, Kelly says. Seeing repeating 1's often signifies that you're about to embark on a new personal journey—it's a nod from the universe that you’re on the right path, according to Kelly.

To break down 1111 even further, it's made up by adding together two 2's and four 1's, which also carry meaning, Woodward says. The twos can be interpreted as a doorway, speaking to relationships and partnerships. "Two energy will always say, 'Have patience'," she adds. From this point of view, seeing 1111 could be "an opportunity for you to ask and also accept help from others," according to Woodward.

It's also worth noting that the number four (created here by the four ones) represents foundation. "Four also brings opportunity, and it suggests that there's some type of inspired action that needs to be taken," Woodward says. It's telling you to find the why behind what you're trying to manifest, and identify the action you have to take to show the universe you're serious about it, she says.

So, you can keep all of that in mind when interpreting 1111.

What does 1111 mean for my love life?

Numerology is very specific to individuals, so based on your situation, seeing 1111 will naturally mean different things for your love life, Woodward says. But generally, it could mean there will be some sort of expansion in your life, or a new partnership, she adds.

  • If you're single: A relationship or even soulmate might be nearby, Woodward says. It can be an indicator that "someone who's going to really change the trajectory of your life is nearby," she explains.

  • If you're in a relationship: Your relationship might be expanding in some way, she says. Maybe you're trying to have a baby, adopt a pet, or buy a home with your partner. Either way, this is a new opportunity for you.

What does 1111 mean for twin flames?

As 1111 is a highly spiritual number, it makes sense that seeing it everywhere might signal a transformative relationship is in your midst. I’m talking about twin flames, or "a soul split where you're meeting the other half of your soul, and together you will complete and make one," says Woodward.

While twin flame relationships are known for being hot and heavy with some ups and downs (hello, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly), there are actually some healthy twin flame relationships, Woodward explains. However, most of them act "as a mirror and they will reflect back all the parts of you that require growth and healing," which can make the 'ship quite tumultuous, she says.

This is especially true with 1111 because the number one mirrors itself—four times. So if you see 1111 and you believe you have a twin flame, it means they will "show you where there's room for healing and where there's room for real soul evolution and growth," Woodward says. "As much as [1111] is about manifestation and growth, it can also be about healing to reach that next level," she says.

What does 1111 mean for my finances and career?

If you see 1111, that could be a sign for you to take a look at your financial foundation, Woodward says. It may mean that a new opportunity or beginning is coming your way that could "change the state of your finances," Woodward says. Got a big job interview coming up? It could be the one that propels you into a higher salary and better finances.

What is the spiritual significance of 1111?

Basically, the angels are knocking at your door when you see this number because 1111 is all about spiritual awakening. "1111 is a divine number, so you want to look at it from a spiritual point of view," Woodward says. Interestingly, some Kabbalists (followers of the ancient Jewish tradition of Kabbalah) actually believe that 1111 is a sign from God or divinity itself, says Kelly. This is because the ancient Hebrew name for God, Yahweh or YHWH, when written resembles four ones.

If you see it, that could be a sign for you to start being more in touch with the universe. You can do so by meditating, having quiet time, and doing inner work on yourself and your mental health, Woodward says.

What does it mean if I keep seeing 11:11 on the clock?

Ever made a wish when 11:11 popped up on your phone home screen? Listen up. This form of 1111 means there are new opportunities for you, whether it's a destined event or person coming into your life, Woodward says. "Pay attention, meditate, and receive your message—this is a doorway," she adds.

How can I harness the power of 1111 energy?

When you see 1111 everywhere, it’s a sign to keep going and trust the direction you’re moving in as everything is falling into place, says Kelly. If you’re going through a rough patch, seeing 1111 is sort of an embrace from the universe. Essentially, the universe is saying, “Things are going to get better,” Kelly adds. On the contrary, if you’re experiencing a winning streak, seeing 1111 can signify that this feeling is not fleeting and you’re headed in the right direction, says Kelly.

So, whenever you encounter 1111, take that moment to reflect what it could be a sign for. “[Seeing] 1111 is a great invitation to check in with yourself and see what it is you need,” says Kelly. “You might want to do some sort of manifestation ritual or write down your hopes and goals—whatever helps you feel aligned to your truth.”

If you’re working on an exciting project, maybe this is the universe’s way of telling you to keep going. If you’re in the middle of a major life change that you’re nervous about, such as moving or ending a relationship, perhaps this is a sign that you’re doing the right thing. Go ahead, and take the leap.

Because everyone has a unique connection to each angel number sequence, its meaning will ultimately depend on where you are on your life path. Whatever you're going through, know that seeing these numbers are a little nudge from your angels, the universe, or whatever it is you believe in that everything will be okay.
