If you're into numerology, you may well know that 1111 is an angel number with a powerful meaning. So if you've noticed you've caught the clock at 11:11 a handful of times, or seen this number popping up regularly in your life, it may have special significance.
For the uninitiated, numerology is the study of numbers and their energetic influence in your life. According to the practice, we all have a ‘Life Path’ number and a ‘Destiny’ number – while ‘angel numbers’ are repeating numbers (such as 1111, 444 or 5555) which are believed to hold particular spiritual significance to those that see them.
So, the 1111 angel number's meaning could be a message from the divine – here's everything you need to know…
What is an angel number?
GLAMOUR spoke to numerologist Sonia Ducie about the significance of repeated numbers.
“All numbers are angelic in that the spirit world is within everything, and everyone,” she says. “However, numbers that are doubled or repeated become whats called Master Numbers, meaning they channel down the higher angelic vibrations onto planet earth.”
Astrologist Francesca Oddie adds: “An angel number is a repeating number that stands out as significant. These numbers make you stop as you think to yourself, ‘that’s weird!’ The number conveys a message and if you look around and connect with angel numbers you’ll find yourself guided.”
1111 angel number meaning
Since the 1111 angel number is a repetition of the number one, it makes sense to start there. “Number one is the first number. The transfer of information from sky down to earth, the conduit,” says Francesca.
The double-digit version of one – 11 – is thought to be an even higher vibration of its single digit counterpart, and is known to be one of the most powerful master numbers. “11 is a master number because it contains the inspiration and speed of the one, but contains the energy of two, that of partnership, collaboration and harmony. An 11 is a higher octave of the 2,” she adds.
So, the 1111 angel number brings together many different energies. “1111 is a double 11, or a four if you add up each number – one times four,” says Sonia.
As for its meaning: “This number is about grounding our higher inspirational creative flow, and using our energy in new and creative ways. Number 11 is the number for intuition and inspiration, and is often linked with spiritual guidance. It helps us to purify our emotions, and to uplift our spirits during times of crisis. It also helps with spiritual transformation.”
A specific example? The date 11/11, of course. “On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, 1918, fighting in WWI officially stopped after Germany signed an armistice agreement with allies earlier in the day,” says Francesca.
“It’s no coincidence that the 11 delivered the power of ultimate peace and harmony at 11am on 11/11. It’s a day for channelling wisdom, tapping into transformative Scorpio energy and striving higher to be wiser, more inspired, more divinely guided. Listening to gut instincts and taking cues from higher beings.”
So if you're going through a change in your life and noticing the number 1111 cropping up, it may be a sign to lean in.
When might someone see the angel number 1111, according to numerology?
Since this angel number is associated with spiritual guidance, most numerologists believe that it may be particularly prevalent when someone is experiencing change, or even emotional pain such as grief or a breakup.
"The number 1111 may appear during times of great spiritual transformation and during times of
crisis," says Sonia. “It helps us to keep our feet on the floor and to embrace life with endurance in a step by step way.”
Francesca adds: “When someone is going through a spiritual awakening, or in a moment of grief the divine feels closer. Life becomes less about practical day to day concerns and more about deeper meaning, purpose, comfort and trying to make sense of the world. When we are less secure in our day to day life, the spiritual is more visible and so we find more signs such as angel numbers, dreams and chance encounters with people who have messages for us.”
Why am I constantly seeing the number 1111?
Sonia says: “Numbers speak from the subconscious mind so it may be asking you to take a good look at your life by listening to your inner guide – look into your soul, and seek answers within. If you see the number 1111 regularly it can help to nurture your creativity in a practical way. You may need to become more reliable, open and efficient in your everyday life.”
Francesca adds: “It could mean that whatever you were thinking about at that moment is confirmed. Your hunch is correct. The angel numbers are a CUE, an indication that you’re on the right path, a nudge to say ‘Hey, what are you thinking about? Is it true?”
