Recognizing your Angel number is deeply personal, as it should hold significant meaning to you. Identifying the significance of your number may help you understand what message it is trying to convey. Based on Numerology, your angel could be based on your Soul Urge, Destiny, or Life Path Number.
Angel numbers are not scientific, but many have noticed that specific number sequences occur at interesting times in their lives. Are angel numbers pseudo-science, or is there something more at play? Let’s find out what the origin of angel numbers is and what your number might be.
Where Do Angel Numbers Come From?
The concept of angel numbers has its beginning in Numerology. Numerology teaches that numbers have hidden meanings. Everyone has their own unique set of numbers assigned to them at birth.
According to Numerology, numbers such as your date of birth and the numeric value of the letters in your name hold significance. The earliest known forefather of Numerology was the famous mathematician Pythagoras, who believed that the world could be described in terms of numbers.
The study of numbers led Pythagoras and his followers to conclude that: “All is number.” In other words, every physical object or idea can be expressed or represented by a series of numbers or measurements.
Pythagoras made significant mathematical discoveries in his time, some of which used numbers to explain the naturally occurring phenomenon in nature, such as the Fibonacci Sequence.
The “number mysticism” that excited Pythagoras and his followers in approximately 560 BC eventually died out but was revived in the 1800s by L. Dow Balliet. She published several books echoing Pythagoras’ theory that numbers have unique vibrations.
Fast forward to modern times, and these same themes emerge as ‘Angel Numbers.’ The term was coined by Doreen Virtue, a (previous) champion of the New Age movement. Virtue extends the idea of Numerology, claiming that all numbers have a vibrational frequency. When specific numbers stand out to an individual, they are messages from your spirit guides, Ascended Masters, or angels.
Angel Numbers should be taken with a pinch of salt, like reading your daily Horoscope. Their meaning may be highly individualistic. For instance, one person may think that number eight is bad luck, while others may believe it is lucky.
How To Recognize Your Own Angel Number
Recognizing your personal Angel Number is not as simple as picking your favorite number. You may have many stories about how good things always happen on specific dates. Over your lifetime, you will notice that particular numbers take on meaning to you.
You may also have learned that specific numbers always signal a spate of bad luck. You need to take notice of the events when your Angel Numbers tend to pop up and your emotional state, thoughts, and issues you may be facing at the time.
Remember that Angel Numbers need to occur often in unexpected places to be relevant. The repetition of these numbers is what signals that it may contain a message or trying to attract your attention.
An example of this is that you may wake up randomly at 01:11 in the morning, later that same day, you find yourself number 11 in line at the Post Office, and when a new acquaintance scribbles down their cell phone number, you notice that it ends in 111.
