One Methods:Number SymbolismQuestions and Answers

Many people have the experience of repeatedly seeing the same number, or number pattern. Perhaps they look at the clock and see 11:34, then glance at a store receipt total of $11.34, then hear of a historical event happening in the year 1134 BC, all in the same day. Or they keep seeing the same number or numbers for months, even years. Does this repetition have special meaning?



  1. 1
    Recognize that there is no "this means that" simple answer.
    • Astrologers believe that all things happen for a reason and that order (as numerologically represented by numbers), instead of chaos or randomness, exists in this universe, and noticing select numbers repeatedly holds meaning.
    • To others, it's either a complex subconscious fixation (similar to when you have certain song lyrics that keep running through your mind), a super-conscious fixation (as in your higher-self or God-self), or due to anxiety and stress (or impending "insanity").
  2. 2
    Understand that it’s common for a person to have a fixation with certain numbers that are significant in his/her personal numerology charts, before even knowing anything about the chart. This too could be considered an unconscious attachment.
  3. 3
    Understand that numbers have specific meanings to a numerologist, and these circumstances are a personal concern--you would have to relay under what circumstances and when you see the numbers. An analyst would also have to comb through your comprehensive charts to find the commonalities.

    • Letter values are:


    • Avoid erroneously chopping up multiple-digit numbers, i.e. deriving 84, 32, and 415 from 8432415, or extracting 11, or 311 from 3113. Every treasured, workable, numerical kabala (or cabala--sacred number and/or letter codes used to derive meaning/truth) throughout history, including the sacred ancient Hebrew Kabbalah, instead uses the following method: 8432415 is comprised of 8000000, 400000, 30000, 2000, 400, 10, and 5; and then 27 (through fadic addition adding up all the numbers), and 9 (the root number, adding 2+7 of 27).
      • The exception to this rule is if you glance at a numerical sequence and only “see” part of it. For example, you look at 1338 and only “see” the 33 (your subconscious or higher-self is fixed on those two numbers only). Therefore, you accept it and disregard the other numbers.
