Numbers are everywhere — in the time of day, on license plates, on receipts — and maybe even in your dreams. According to numerology,itis not just coincidence that these repeating patterns are appearing before you; they’re actually messages from the universe. When you see the same numbers over and over again, it’s a sign that your inner energy is in sync with greater cosmic rhythms. Numbers are a simple and universal language that spirit guides use to relay guidance, protection, warnings or encouragement.

Each number has its own vibration, and therefore “energy signature”. As long as you know what the numbers mean, you can also better understand exactly what message is being delivered when you experience these sequences in the form of daily life signs.
