Have you ever noticed yourself stumbling upon repeating number sequences like 111, 555, or 777 almost everywhere you look? Let’s say you wake up from a nap at 2:22 p.m., then you buy a coffee for $2.22, and watch a movie that’s 2 hours and 22 minutes long: it may not be a coincidence. In numerology, the study of the meanings of numbers and their influence on human life, this repetition is referred to as angel numbers. Angels speak to us in synchronistic ways, which basically means that we will see something over and over again so much that it goes beyond coincidence.

Angel numbers work in accordance with numerology, which is when each number is connected to a certain vibrational energy or frequency that holds meaning beyond its numeric value. Where angel numbers come in, is how often the numbers show up. They serve as a thumbs up, or a message to stay on the path you are currently on in life. Celebrity spirit guide, Mystic Michaela believes, ““Seeing a repeating number is like your angel pointing to you and making you feel seen and heard.”
