Have you ever looked at your phone to find out the time is 11:11? Or maybe you discovered your favorite song is two minutes and twenty-two seconds long and then got a cup of coffee for $2.22? These are known as angel numbers, and there are no coincidences in the metaphysical realms where practitioners like myself operate (in fact, I developed this term’s abbreviation — TANC — back in 2019, and it’s become somewhat of a catchphrase in my work).
The TANC phenomenon is perfectly shown by angel numbers. Angel numbers may be found all over Instagram, Witchtok (as well as Astrologytok and Manifestationtok). So, what do they imply? What do they say? And how can we collaborate with them? Let’s get started!
What Are Angel Numbers?
According to numerology, angel numbers are repeated sequences of three or four numbers that appear in your life at seemingly arbitrary intervals to convey a spiritual or divine message.
According to Alex Getts, an astrologer and tarot card reader with nearly two decades of experience, angel numbers contain information from the spiritual sphere. These ‘nudges’ or signs point us in the correct direction. “When our spirit guides want to communicate with us, such as to indicate that we should continue with a difficult endeavor or take a significant leap we’ve been contemplating, they frequently use numbers as signals,” she explains.
What Does Your Angel Number Represent?
There are some universal interpretations for particular sequences, even if the meanings of the angel numbers might vary based on the individual.
000
The number 0 symbolizes transformation, according to Linda Berry, a “angel whisperer,” spiritual advisor, and proprietor of the Spiritual Discovery Center in Southern California. “When included in a numerical series of two or more numbers, it will add the vibration of infinite potential to the other numbers,” she says. “Its vitality creates a condition of transition with fresh starts at the forefront. It depends on having an open mind to new prospects and a commitment to self-improvement how the transitional time is managed. Berry also says that 0 stands for life experience-derived wisdom, which promotes spiritual development.

According to Berry, “In numerology, the number 1 symbolizes the start of all ideas and deeds. It gives out an energizing, motivating, and determined type of energy. She advises that even if the number 1 stands for nonconformity, one should act on their own terms. If you see this angel number, take a strong step ahead that is individualistic, self-reliant, and autonomous.

When it comes to the angel number 2, it represents energy of support and a desire to follow or collaborate with others. “It creates peace and harmony, and it is very accommodating,” Berry says. “Of all the numbers, it is the most diplomatic, adaptable, and patient.” The focus of anything with this number is balance and equilibrium.”
333
“333 is a major message from your guides that it’s time to get balanced!” explains Mystic Michaela. Your angels want you to start meditating, working out, and creating that vision board you’ve been putting off for so long. Your angels urge you to self-correct in areas of your life that are not completely developed.”
444
According to Berry, the number 4 is the most diligent, scrupulous, traditional, and careful of all the numbers. It represents commitment, pragmatism, and concentration. “The number 4 represents someone who is straightforward, persistent, and reliable in doing what they say they will do,” she says. “The vibration of this number is solid, stable, and systematic, and it has a down-to-earth energy that wants to manifest ideas into concrete form.”
555
Change, personal advancement, and transformation are all related with the angel number 5. “It is a sign from the divine that you are undergoing positive changes in your life,” Johanna Agusta says. “You are being guided by angels to make a positive change in your life,” Agusta says when you see the number 555 occur in your life. “This could be a career, relationship, or lifestyle change.”
666
Be not terrified of the number 666. Even though you may have previously believed that this was the “devil’s number” or the “number of the beast,” witnessing the angelic number 666 is somehow the complete opposite of bad. Your angels are advising you to stop concentrating on your troubles if you see the number 666. According to Getts, “the angel number 666 is a compass that helps you find balance in your life.”
“It frequently shows up when you put too much effort into thinking negatively or when you refuse to let go of ingrained beliefs that are holding you back. If you notice it regularly, attempt to identify the areas of your life that are out of harmony since doing so can help you get closer to your objectives.
777
The Secret That’s Holding You Back author and psychic therapist Vincent Genna claims that the number seven is extremely spiritual and has high vibrations. Its association with God makes it the most sacred of all numbers. The number is also associated with inner power, mysticism, intuition, and wisdom. The angels are advising you to follow a spiritual path and come in touch with your spiritual nature if you keep seeing the number seven, according to Genna. If you are going through a difficult moment in your life, you might need to look at the spiritual side of things.
888
“The number 8 itself is a number charged with abundant energy,” claims Tracey Bond. When you add more 8s to it and rotate it horizontally, it takes on the shape of the infinity sign and grows beyond bounds. “[It’s] a wonderful sign-guide at one’s path,” says Bond of the angel number 888. “[It’s] a symbol of something new, a birth, a creation, or even a recovery or regeneration.” Just be careful not to let your ego lead you astray with false pride or excessive pleasures, particularly when it comes to your profession and income.
999
When you encounter 9, 99, or 999, one of the more intriguing angel numbers, it’s a message to change bad situations into good ones. Getts argues that when you see 999, it refers to the spiritual and personal progress you had on your voyage. “If you hear this number calling to you, it could be time to let go and trust that the universe will guide you to your destination. As long as you put your confidence in it, your heightened intuition may help you make the correct decisions now that you have matured as a person.
Where Can You Look for Angel Numbers?
Angel numbers appear in the most mundane locations, which is part of what makes them so mystical. There are angel numerals on clocks, timestamps, and alerts. They are found in addresses, telephone numbers, and vehicle license plates. There may even be angel numbers on receipts, price tags, and travel itineraries. You could attribute this to frequency illusion or contemplate TANC:
The reason heavenly numbers appear in the most mundane environments is because the spiritual universe is subtly reminding you that you’re experiencing something greater than any mundane circumstance could ever express. You are on assignment. There is a reason.
Moreover, the presence of an angel number can feel like a comforting embrace, particularly when the path ahead is unclear and uncertain. According to Kris Jenner (who may or may not be the guardian angel of Calabasas, California), angel numbers are essentially a way of saying “you’re doing great, honey!”
Why Are Angel Numbers Unique?
Angel numbers are distinct from other esoteric activities in part because they are unrelated to your date of birth. Angel Numbers are not based on your birth date, time, or place, unlike zodiac signs, astrological birth charts, or even the numerology life path number calculation. While the characteristics of your zodiac sign might provide you insight into your likes, dislikes, interests, and tastes, angel numbers don’t reveal who you are personally; rather, they reveal how you interact with the world.
The fact that angel numbers are so flexible is another crucial quality: You could encounter an angel number only once, or you might be followed by it for a long time. The most essential thing is that you’re paying attention; there is no hierarchy in how you discover this mystical signature (i.e., a long-term relationship isn’t more relevant than a one-time observation).
