You look at the clock, and it’s 11:11. You play your favorite song on YouTube, and it has 1,111,111 views. Curious as to what these repeating numbers could mean, you hop on Google and start searching.
After reading three or four articles, you notice that they all say the same thing about all the numbers and that whether you see 1212 or 5050, it still means that you are on the right track or that you will meet your twin flame in the next two months.
One naturally begins to question whether angel numbers are even real, and I’m not surprised. If a phone salesman told me that all phones have an excellent camera and can last three days without a charge, I wouldn’t believe it either. Just like every phone is different, every angel number means something different.
Are Angel Numbers Real?
Let’s get straight to the point. Yes, angel numbers are a real thing, and they do serve as means of motivation, inspiration, or as reminders that you are on the right path.
They are called angel numbers, but everyone has their own opinion about them. While some believe that these are signs from guardian angels, others rather call them signs from the Universe or simply synchronicity. You can call them whatever you want, perhaps lucky numbers or annoying numbers, but they are still repeating numbers that carry a message.
Now, as a numerologist, I have been asked countless times about whether angel numbers are real. It’s only natural that people question them, and with articles about angel numbers mushrooming on Google, I’m not surprised at all.
Why Do All Numbers Mean The Same Thing?
Angel numbers are interpreted through the vibrations of each number in the entire number sequence. For example, the number 4 represents stability, foundation, and protection, while the number 5 symbolizes change, transformation, and freedom. When you see an angel number that’s made up of 4 and 5 (for example, 1145, 1415, 7485, or 8485,) stability, change, and other keywords that these numbers symbolize must be considered.
When you do a quick Google search on 1145, 1415, and other numbers with 4s and 5s, almost none of the articles mention anything that numbers 4 and 5 resonate with. “Do these people write these interpretations out of thin air?” I ask myself.
For example, one article from an unnamed source claims that a particular angel number with 4s and 5s means a marriage proposal or a surprise in the form of a lottery win. *I grab my head in disbelief.* Not only does this number have nothing to do with marriage or the lottery, but the worst part is that people get false hopes from these articles, and when neither of those things comes true, they are disappointed and sad, if not depressed.
Furthermore, from a numerological point of view, angel numbers are also interpreted through the energy of a 1-digit number that we get after adding up all the digits; in the case of 1415, it is 2. Still, I don’t see a reason why the number 2 should mean a wedding or winning the lottery.
And now comes something absolutely bizarre!
A few days ago, I was editing my article about angel number 1212 because I created new Pinterest pictures that I wanted to include in the article. I thought I could edit the “angel number 1212 and pregnancy” section, so I looked up Google what other people say about pregnancy and angel numbers. And I couldn’t believe what I had found.
Believe it or not, when you see angel number 1212, you are having a baby girl. I’m kidding! I would never come up with such nonsense. This is absolutely bizarre, and I don’t see how this can even have a place on Google.
Just imagine a pregnant woman who has been trying her whole life with her partner to conceive a daughter because they already have three boys, and she reads this. She is excited and full of hope. But when she finds out that she is expecting another boy, she is disappointed, and her mental state is no better.
Angel numbers will never tell you whether you will have a boy or a girl, nor will they tell you what day of the month you will give birth. This is absolutely outrageous.
What To Believe And What Not
With that being said, angel numbers serve as inspiration, motivation, and encouragement or as a reminder that you are never alone, especially when you feel lonely. They are subtle signs that are informative and encouraging in nature and never predict anything in detail.
Angel numbers are NOT a fortune crystal ball or a magic wand that will make your wish come true. That’s just the reality that not everyone wants to hear, but it’s just the way it is.
Just because you see angel numbers doesn’t mean you have to put common sense aside. On the contrary, common sense is more than important because that way, you won’t have false hopes and wait for a miracle to happen. There is an extremely fine line between spirituality and delusion, and you yourself should distinguish what you should believe and what you should take with a grain of salt.
Throughout my career, I have met people who were going through a difficult time or spiritual enlightenment and noticed angel numbers everywhere they looked. These people are particularly sensitive and vulnerable and believe anything that sounds positive or spiritual.
The majority of articles about angel numbers, including those on popular websites like Yahoo, seem to be directed toward a general (and more sensitive) audience without considering that some readers might be emotionally affected by the information presented. And when that twin flame doesn’t come, they don’t get hired for their dream job, win the lottery, or heal their hearts, they get depressed.
Take Everything With A Pinch of Salt
Angel numbers are not a medical subject, so there is no obligation to add any warning at the end of the article about the possible danger of people believing them.
I do understand the popularity of angel numbers is increasing, which is leading to a rise in articles about them. Still, why not study how they are interpreted and what they mean? Why spread misinformation or false hope? Why ask people to comment “I am healing now” under the picture with the number 555 when it has nothing to do with healing at all? And why sit by the clock and wait until you see 11:11?
This and much more leads me to one question that I would like to close this article with. Aren’t angel numbers becoming more of a business than a spiritual message?
Use your common sense, listen to your intuition, and, most of all—take everything with a pinch of salt. Otherwise, it will drive you crazy.
