The meanings of different digits vary and often relate to how big or small the number is. The number 1 (aka the first single digit), for example, typically indicates a beginning, while the number 9 (the last single digit) often relates to endings or finalities. The key to understanding angel numbers is to get clear on what was happening—or what you were thinking about—when you noticed them. As Richardson notes, you might notice the clock at 1:11 as you were thinking about expanding your business, for instance, which would be a positive sign to move forward with the idea and embrace new beginnings. “One represents the ability for you to create—I call it the ‘Architect’ number,” Firester says, adding that seeing it reminds you of the power you possess. “Your world is always shaped by your thoughts and words, and when you see this number, it’s a reminder [of that, and] asks you to get back to a more positive, creative flow.” In terms of the number 3, she says, it’s a major message of the harmony that exists everywhere, and that our minds, bodies, and spirits are connected as one. “You have to take care of your life in a balanced way, or everything will suffer. Seeing this number is a nudge from your angels to see which parts of your life you’re currently neglecting—and a call to action to get them back on track,” she adds. The number 3 can also relate to self-expression, communication, creativity, optimism, and joy, according to numerologist Michelle Buchanan. “It is a very powerful creative force that amplifies our thoughts, words, and emotions, so when we’re living in a high vibration—expressing ourselves joyfully and positively in the world—we attract more happiness, abundance, and good fortune,” she previously told mindbodygreen. And in the case of seeing angel number 311 if you think you’ve found your twin flame, Firester says it’s a sign that the rewards of this union may not be as they seem. “Twin flame relationships can be tumultuous and all-consuming, but the rewards of such a relationship are not always the bond itself,” she explains, adding “Rather, it’s the lessons learned throughout it.” To that end, 311 is encouraging you to consider the true rewards and lessons of this unique bond.
