What is your angel number? How to find which repeating numeral is meant for you.
Are repeating numbers following you throughout everyday life? Whether it's the clock consistently reading 4:44 or a receipt totaling $55.55, these recurring numerals could signify something greater.
Some may read these as a mere coincidence, but for others, the recurring numerals are no accident. "Angel numbers" are repeating numeric sequences, often taken as signs of confirmation and directionality.
But are specific angel numbers meant to find you? Depending on your situation, maybe.
Here's a rundown on angel numbers to get you started on your numerological journey.
What are angel numbers?
Angel numbers are repeating number sequences, often used as a guide for deeper spiritual exploration. These sequences can range from 000 to 999 and have a distinct meaning and energy.
"Most of what I see is that they bring confirmation and empowerment," Novalee Wilder, professional numerologist, previously told USA TODAY. "I think lots of people are looking for signs. But sometimes, there's like a fork in the road."
Seeing angel numbers can signal "green lights" toward whatever path you are taking, explains Wilder, whether it's in relationships, job opportunities or other areas of life.
In numerology, patterns always come in sets of three's. The more repetition of a number, the the stronger it gets, Wilder says.
If you see your angel number three times in a row, this may be the push to apply for a new job or put yourself back out into the dating world, she expands.
"If numbers start showing up, it's like empowerment, confirmation," Wilder continues. "We're like, 'OK, I'm in the flow. I'm aligned, I feel empowered.'"

What is my angel number?
No test exists for finding your specific angel number since they are deeply personal, Wilder says.
Numerology is subjective. If you see a number in repetition frequently, that might be your angel number, she expands.
Angel numbers don't always have to be numerals, Wilder adds. Sometimes, symbols or objects you identify or associate with − such as a flower or an animal − can be taken as a sign.
How to find your angel number
You can find your angel number by taking note of the repeating numbers that appear in your life. Once you begin to pay more attention to them, the angel numbers can help open up your intuition, says Wilder.
"Lots of people have a favorite number or a lucky number. It all boils down to if it feels right," she says.
Certain angel numbers may also appear depending on your personal circumstances. If you need more confidence or motivation, you might start seeing 111. Or if you need to slow down and take time for yourself, 777 could appear.
