Angel numbers are messages from your guardian angels. We are all blessed with guardian angels to watch over as we make our way through life. They are cheering us on—but the only way they have of communicating with us is through little signs, like numbers. Angel numbers are 3- or 4-digit numbers that carry special meanings and appear in seemingly coincidental places like license plates, phone numbers, and digital clocks. By properly interpreting these numbers, we can manifest the life we are meant to lead.^{[1]

- Angel numbers usually consist of repeated numbers—for instance, 1111 or 444—or patterns—such as 123 or 4545. Your angels will send you a specific number depending on the sort of spiritual guidance you are in need of at that moment.

Unlike other forms of divination, angel numbers are not identity-specific. The zodiac is based on your birth time and place, and palm reading is based on the lines on your hands, but angel numbers are about where you are rather than who you are. This form of divination is heavily rooted in the moment: angel numbers are road signs telling you which way to turn at a given moment.^{[2]

Using Angel Numbers for Manifestation

1
Clarify what you want to manifest, like a specific goal. You can’t manifest your dream reality unless you have a firm idea of what your dream reality is! Visualize your future: what does your ideal life look like? The more specific you are and the more clearly you can see your vision in your mind’s eye, the greater the odds you’ll manifest that exact reality.^{[3]

- Making a vision board is a great way to literally visualize what you want to manifest. A vision board is a collage of images and text that represent your ideal future. If you want a new job, you might include a photo of the place you want to work; if you want a new car, you might add a picture of the car you want to get.
- Write down what you want so you can properly word it. You could even keep a journal of all your manifestations. Date your entries so you can keep track of your manifestations when they come true.
2
Set an intention. Once you’ve visualized the life you want, focus your energy on what you want to manifest by setting an intention, or verbalizing exactly what you want. Stating your goal in specific and direct terms will increase your odds of manifesting exactly what you wish to achieve.^{[4]

- Be specific here: instead of “I want to be happy,” say, “I want a new job” or “I want a healthy relationship.”
- Frame your intentions positively. Rather than focusing on what you don’t want (for instance, “I don’t want to be stuck in this dead-end job forever”), focus on what you do want (“I want a new position that will allow me to grow and earn more money”).

Seek out manifestation numbers to curate your reality. Now it’s time to take action. When angels throw certain numbers in your path, it’s a surefire sign of things to come. But don’t take this to mean you’re beholden to the angels to dictate your life’s trajectory: you hold the power to create your own reality. To manifest your reality, study what different angel numbers mean, and then look for these angel numbers in your day-to-day life. Where and when they appear will tell you which path to take.^{[5]

- For instance, if you want to change jobs but don’t know what steps to take, look for angel numbers like 000, a sign of new opportunities. If you see 111 in a phone number from a job recruiter, it could be a sign that’s the position you should shoot for.

Trust the universe to bring about the life you're meant to lead. While you hold the power to cultivate your own reality, this doesn't mean you exist independently from the divine universe surrounding and upholding you. At any given moment, you and the universe are co-curating the life that you are meant to lead. This means it's important to trust that your angels are looking out for you, even if it feels like you're all alone (or that you're totally in charge!).^{[6]

- If you keep seeing a specific angel number, even if it's not the number you expected or wanted, be open to it. Manifestation is a balance between self-empowerment and trust in the universe's plan.

000 means opportunities are coming. You might see the number “0” and think of nothing. An absence. A void. Well, that’s exactly what it is—an empty space to make your mark! So keep your eyes peeled for 000 or 0000. This angel number is a sign you will be presented with new opportunities for growth, joy, and love. Seize the day!^{[7]

- If you see 222 while you’re trying to manifest the life you’ve visualized, it might be a sign you need to let go a little.

6
555 is a call to action. If you’re unsure where to go next, this is a sign to take a leap of faith. Some angel numbers are signs to be open to change—555 asks that you do more than just “be open.” When you see 555 or 5555, it’s a message from your angels to be brave and take the plunge into the unknown.^{[13]
X
Research source}
- Sometimes, when manifesting your dreams, it can be tempting to think all you need to do is make a vision board, set an intention, and leave the rest up to fate. If you see 555 while you’re waiting for your dream life to come at you, take it as a sign to stop waiting and make it happen: opportunity may knock, but in the end, you’re still the one who must open the door!
7
666 is a sign you need to reflect and recalibrate. Don’t worry—666 isn’t a sign the devil is coming for you or anything. It is, however, an indication you may need to reevaluate your life. Where are you headed? Where do you want to go? Are your goals in alignment with your actions? When you see 666 or 6666, pause, breathe deeply, and ask yourself: “Is this what I want my life to be?”^{[14]

777 is a lucky number. Yippee! When you see 777 or 7777, dance for joy. It’s a sign things are coming up roses. Whatever it is you’re doing, don’t stop. You’re on the right path. However, don't take this as a sign to stop working hard: you might be on the right path, but that doesn't mean you've reached your destination yet.^{[15]
X
Research source}
- 777 is a sign the life you’ve visualized is in total alignment with the universe’s divine plan. Now it’s just up to you to co-curate that life alongside the universe and your angels. Go you!

888 is the number of financial success. We’re gonna need a bigger wallet. 888 or 8888 is a sign that whatever you’ve been doing to increase your wealth is either paying off—or it’s about to.

Research source}
- 888 can also be a sign of independence and confidence. If you’re seeing 888 while working too manifest your dream future, it could be a sign that you need to push yourself to be more independent and self-assured. You’re a divine creature: act like it.

999 is about closure. Is there a chapter that needs to close, but you’ve been putting it off? Maybe a relationship needs to end, or a friendship has grown toxic. Change is painful, but sometimes endings need to happen to make room for new beginnings. If you’re seeing 999 or 9999, it’s a sign it’s time to let go and move on from what no longer serves you.^{[17]
X
Research source}
- Endings can be tough. It’s no wonder if you’ve been procrastinating cutting ties with a job you’ve outgrown or a toxic friend you’ve known forever. But change is an inevitable part of growth. You can’t manifest the life you’re meant to lead without the occasional loss.
