What Does Seeing 11:11 Mean?

First thing’s first: if you’ve been seeing this mysterious number everywhere and have been desperately trying to crack its code — breathe a sigh of relief before stressing over what it means! This is because, at its core, repeating numbers like 11:11 are a distinctly positive sign no matter what the circumstances are.

That said, there are still various meanings attributed to 11:11, and you may have to put in some elbow grease to connect with your intuition in understanding, which makes sense for you given your present situation.

Theories Behind 11:11

When you notice that you see the numbers 11:11 on your clock or in other areas of your day-to-day life, many times you′ll get a little twinge of feeling something, but you just aren′t sure what. But with practice and a little more knowledge on 11:11 in your back pocket, you’ll be a pro at decoding it in no time!

1. It Ties to Numerology

In numerology, 11 is known as a master number.

The number 11 represents intuition and trusting your instincts. It is also considered a number having to do with duality, the mixing of our realm and the next. For example, in practice, when someone has a life path number of 11, they are considered highly intuitive beings.

So, to see 11:11 can be a callback to this numerological understanding of the number, especially since its power is now doubled!

2. Angel Numbers

It is common lore that the sequence 111 or 1111 can be a sign that your angels or spirit guides are near. Perhaps they are trying to get your attention, making you more aware of the things going on around you (or from within you). Or perhaps you’ve been in need of assistance and have been looking for a sign yourself.

This also means your angels are paying close attention to the things you are doing and the things you need most in life at the moment. You may be at a crossroads or at a time of spiritual significance in your life’s journey, so with the sign of 11:11, you may be being called to look within for more spiritual or esoteric wisdom and knowledge.

3. It’s a Message from the Universe

Ultimately, you do not need a semi-colon or colon or any particular format to receive a message from the Universe through 11:11. It could be in a phone number with the last four digits being 1111, a store receipt, a gas tank number, a mileage number, or a house address that catches your attention for “no reason.”

What does it mean?

If not a sign from the angels or a strictly numerological tie, the sign 11:11 could be a nudge, message, or reminder from the Universe trying to pull your attention to something. However, the “something” that you’re being called to is likely to be something you and you alone can really understand.

On an intuitive and soul level, 11:11 speaks to you to remind you of something that deep within, you already know.

How to Make the Most of 11:11

Looking for more clarity and considerations on 11:11? Here are 11 things that you can do when you see the 11:11 phenomenon:

1. Stop, Look, & Listen

Abraham Hicks, the author of the Law of Attraction, says that when you see 11:11, it’s the Universe’s way of “knocking you out” to show you physical evidence of your alignment.

In other words, it’s the Universe’s way of saying, keep going, you’re doing everything exactly right, and the blessings are coming. So, when you see this little symbol, stop and appreciate it for what it is, and have faith that you’re on the right track.

2. Make a Wish!

11:11 wishes are very popular and common, and they do come true. Of course, you don’t have to wait until 11:11 to make a wish each day, but there is certainly strength in the process of utilizing the power of numbers that we know to hold spiritual significance.

In the beginning, the best way to try out the process is to be realistic and ask for little things. This way, you’ll gain more faith in the process as you watch the smaller things come true first. Like the law of attraction, the more gratitude you show for this gift of unconditional love that comes your way, the more often it will happen to you.

3. Write it Down

Start keeping track of when and where you see occurrences of 11:11!

If anything really awesome also happens that day, write it down. You won’t see the pattern for a while, but in a few months, take a look and see if you can discover for yourself what is trying to be communicated to you through this symbol.

Let’s say you get a letter or a text from someone you are crazy about every day you see 11:11.

That is not a coincidence, but at the moment, it can be hard to see what exactly the “random” number is trying to tell you. With time, you will begin to understand what it means to you specifically, especially if you keep track over prolonged periods of time.

Remember though. This number is about expanding and spiritual growth, so it may not mean just one thing forever. Be open to the process of change, and use your log or journal to simply take note and keep track of that progress as needed.

4. Follow Your Intuition

No matter what you are doing right then and there, listen to your intuition at the time of seeing 11:11. Take a moment of pause, and try to take notice of the first things that came to mind as you stumbled upon the sign of 11:11.

If you have already forgotten or are struggling to decipher an intuitive knowing versus a typical inner dialogue, take a step back and wait it out rather than overthinking it.

You may spot another 11:11 soon that will guide you to the right place, so don’t stress over it!

5. Consider Your Twin Flame

Beyond the lore of angels and spirit guides, there is also the concept of twin flames associated with 11:11.

Connecting twin flames is not the only purpose of 11:11 in astrology or numerology today, but the tie still exists if you feel the call in this direction. While not everyone will resonate with the concept of a twin flame and experiences may vary, it is highly likely that if you’re already acquainted with a twin flame, the sign of 11:11 may hold a special kind of significance for you.

It is perhaps a sign that your twin is out there sending you a message or one from the Universe that you’ll be meeting them soon.

6. Embrace Leadership

Many leaders throughout history have 11 as their Life Path number (for example, Barack Obama).

In numerology, all those born with the Life Path number 11 are seen as intuitive leaders born with a direct purpose on earth. So when you see 11:11 appear, embrace your inner leader and consider how you can take charge of your life.

What is your first hunch when you see it? Follow it and do so with a spirit of leadership.

7. Meditate

Especially if you’re balking at decoding what your intuition is trying to tell you, meditation is a very powerful tool if you have been given the gift of 11:11 in your day in some way. If it happens and you have the time, stop there to just close your eyes and ask the angels, Universe, or just your own inner eye to show you what it is that you need to know about that sign, at that moment, on that day.

There is always a message when 11:11 appears, and meditation is the best way to open your own channels up to receive that message.

8. Ask for What You Need

Asking questions can be a good way to use 11:11 to aid in your personal growth and spark a dialogue with yourself.

Do you really want to connect with your twin flame? Do you really want to make a life-changing job decision? Ask for signs that you are on the right path and seek out the signs you will receive.

This works best when it becomes part of daily practice. Once you start looking for and asking the right questions, you can start to seek answers.

9. Plan Ahead

If feeling rooted and grounded in the present moment doesn’t feel like the right move, perhaps it’s time to write up that plan for the future that has been put off. Whip out a pen and paper, think up a to-do list, and write out what intuitively feels like the best move for your next journey.

Whether it’s for a project, a trip, or something else that is close to your heart’s desire, the fortuitous collision of 11:11 and your future can make some magic for the road ahead.

10. Cultivate Friendships

The 11th house in astrology revolves around friendship and relationships, so when you see 11:11, it might be the Universe telling you to take some time to let those you love know how much you care.

Sometimes we don’t always realize how much we need a shoulder to lean on until we are reminded of how helpful our interpersonal connections can be, so the Universe sends this as a helpful nudge. Alternatively, you may not be the one in need at the moment, but someone else in your personal circle. Either way, it’s time to reach out!

11. Embrace the Moment

If nothing else, when 11:11 appears, embrace it as a moment of possibilities. We don’t know exactly what wishes it grants. We just know all of the clues that it provides. That’s why it’s called a phenomenon. When it happens to you, don’t question it. Would you question a rainbow if it arrived?

How Will You Use 11:11?

There is ultimately an abundance of ways to approach witnessing 11:11, as well as a variety of ways that you can interpret the message or call. At the end of the day, it will be as unique of a signal as your connection to your intuition is — extremely personal and special!

However, using some of these tried and true methods of approach, or discovering alternative ways to interpret 11:11, can all contribute to furthering your understanding of this unique little set of numbers. Try them out and see if you unlock a new meaning of 11:11 at any time!
