What are some signs of angel numbers?
If you keep seeing the clock strike 3:33 or got a latte that cost $5.55, consider this a sign from the universe.
"Angel numbers are any repetitive pattern," Aliza said. "And it doesn't even really need to be [the same number], it could be any number that shows up in a sequence of three or four—it could be 1234 or 1818 or 777."
As she put it, "It has to do more with the psychic impression that it leaves on us. It captures our awareness, and the intention around angel numbers is that our angels or guides are communicating with us."
What makes angel numbers different from numerology?
Although both mystical systems are numerical-based, they aren't equal to each other.
"Angel numbers have a fluidity to them," the There Are No Coincidences author pointed out. "The interpretations are broad, and it invites more of a conversation between your intuition, your psychic capabilities, your own psychic impressions—and how you're interacting with those numbers appearing in your life."
She continued, "Whereas, numerology is an ancient system and has a very set way of arriving at a certain number and a distinctive meaning of whatever that number signifies." (Read our numerology guide here.)
