The elevens, as I call them (so do many others, I’m sure) – those repetitive digital numbers that always end in 11 – are a phenomenon similar to angel numbers. They’re most often seen on clocks and other devices that display the time in a digital format.
The main difference from angel numbers is, the elevens are generated by the spirit and Earth realms, which are comprised of:
- ascended masters (Buddha, Jesus, etc.)
- elementals (fairies, etc.)
- in-spirit loved ones
- in-spirit pets
- spirit guides
- Spirit
- the collective (all spirit and earth realms)
The lesser difference is, they’re more of a spiritual wave or high-five, as opposed to a specific and action-oriented meaning.
The most common of the elevens is 11:11 which, at a glance, seems to double-down on whatever power is implied or exemplified by the number 11. It is, in effect, the king or queen of the elevens, supposing there’s a hierarchy (and depending on whether the preferred hierarchy is patriarchal or matriarchal).
Some schools of thought suggest that 11:11 is an ideal time to pause and make a wish. I come from a school of thought that suggests that any time is an ideal time to pause and make a wish.
That same school of thought suggests that 11:11 is a sign of affirmation or approval; an indication that you’re on track and in alignment with your soul purpose. That being the case, and perhaps especially if you’re unclear what your soul purpose is, check in with yourself about what you’re doing and thinking, and how you’re being and where you are when that number shows up.
As much as I love wishes, I much prefer to be in alignment. Being in alignment automagically sets me up for wishes coming to fruition. (There’s that double-down I mentioned above, exemplified.)
Here are the meanings of the elevens
(They’re also noted in text form below the following graphic.)
Meanings Realms of the Elevens
1:11 ~ The Collective: All spirit realms
2:11 ~ In-spirit loved ones
3:11 ~ Ascended masters
4:11 ~ Spirit
5:11 ~ Spirit guides
6:11 ~ In-spirit pets
7:11 ~ Spirit
8:11 ~ In-spirit loved ones
9:11 ~ Spirit guides
10:11 ~ Elementals
11:11 ~ Spirit
12:11 ~ Ascended masters
Additionally, 10:10 resonates with Spirit and 12:12 resonates with in-spirit loved ones.
I admit that when I was sourcing the meanings of these numbers (“sourcing” being a fancy term for meditating on), and the resonance for 6:11 was revealed as in-spirit pets, a lump came to my throat. The sweet ache of knowing that long-gone fur friends and fur babies make themselves known was a heartwarming and welcome surprise.
What’s Your Take?
Do you see any of the elevens? If yes, did this post raise any revelations about your sightings?
Hi Ellen,
I love this. I’m really learning a lot from you. I always see 7:11 or 9:11 on my clocks. Thanks for telling me what it means.
I also prefer to be in alignment than wishes. I agree with you why it’s good to be.
Hope you’re having a great week hun. Happy Friday-eve ( couple hours to go). 🙂
Thanks, Cori! I’m so glad. 🙂
Happy Friday! I don’t know where the week went. Well, I do, and yet… whoosh! 🙂 xoxo
Hi Ellen,
Very interesting post! I’ve always wondered what seeing double digits on the clock meant! Your explanations really helped me understand this better! Like Cori said, it’s best to be in alignment with your soul purpose than make wishes.
I have a question for you. I often see 3:27 on the clock either AM or PM. I also have to mention you that my birthday is March 27th and I was wondering if that meant anything in particular. Maybe you could enlighten me on that!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us and have a great weekend! 🙂
Hi, Nataly! 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed the post. Thank you!
In regards to 3:27, I understand you’re working on something which could represent a symbolic rebirth. You’re being reminded to “remember yourself.” I also hear, “you’re getting lost” in whatever it is you’re doing. Don’t forget to look at the big picture, and widen your perspective.
Happy weekend to you! 🙂
Hi Ellen I always see 414 which is the day my dad passed n 420 my daughters birthday what could this mean
Hi, Susan!
414: This number is definitely a “hello” and love from your dad. The ease of you noticing the number and associating it with your dad is what makes it a “conversation starter” of sorts. And that’s important, too. The opening is there for you to deepen the conversation. How you might choose to do that is something to consider.
420: This might be considered a “cosmic connector.” Whether it’s that she’s thinking of you at that moment, or perhaps could use a bit more attention from you in an intentional way – such as taking a breath and sending her love or an energy hug or a smile, or all of the above. I also just heard, “It’s a blessing,” which puts another spin on this.
Consider that the two numbers – 414 and 420 – follow each other. 414 comes first (your dad) and 420 comes second (your daughter). The blessing could be that your dad is saying to you, “I’m aware of your daughter and sending her my love, too.” A beautiful blessing, for sure. 🙂 <3
I have been seeing 9:11,especially on clocks, every night for the past two or three weeks now, I feel that I’m changing my path in life, wonder if more changing are coming…
I love that, Juan. Opening to the messages of your spirit guides more fully will perhaps help you to better understand why you’re receiving this nudge or “call to action.”
I was actually just shown a door (yours, metaphorically speaking) and someone knocking – persistently! – at that door. When will you answer it? When you feel ready, know it will be of great benefit to you.
Hey Ellen,
What about the meanings of the 22s? Like 1:22-9:22? I see 22 everywhere. I am a master number 22 and I have 22 letters in my name.
Thank you.
-Ilene
Hi, Ilene!
Aside from a massive cosmic wink linking you to your life path number at every possible turn, I’m understanding an additional message is:
“To wait for your turn is to wait in fruitlessness. To wait for permission is to wait for another’s vision of your merit. We wish you will wait no longer.”
Well, I’d call that a not-so-subtle nudge from your guides.
Peace. 💞
Hi Ellen, thanks for the insight. I’ve been going crazy seeing 9:11 all over the place. Is been nagging at me so I’ve researched a little but now it’s 911, and on occasion, 411 and 511.
Hi, Theresa! 🙂
I’m glad it helped. The numbers, when they come in groupings or in patterns or in a seemingly continuous and/or constant stream, are definitely working overtime to get our attention.
It may be time to lean into that more and figure out what it means for you and your life, specifically. Maybe do some journaling or meditating to aid the process. 💖
Ellen, I have been seeing 12:34 and 11:11 a lot in the past month. I’m having a tough time at work, and I also see dimes everywhere. Can you explain to me what this all means. Thankyou Therese
Hi, Therese!
I always associate 12:34 with momentum; with movement and progression or “procession,” as I just heard. What’s moving in your life? What’s progressing or processing? Or, what needs to move or progress or process?
The dimes are being used as a variation of “pennies from Heaven.” One of your loved ones is using these as a marker for you, to let you know they’ll always be around for you. 💕
Hi Ellen thanks for the insight. ..I have been seeing 11:11 everyday.
You’re welcome, Annie. How are you responding to the sightings? 💕
Just found your site. Love this article! Thanks for sharing your pure, strong and potent LIGHT with others
Thank you so much! That’s very kind. 💕
Hi, I’ve always been curious about the number 11 considering my birthday is 4/11, my brothers birthday is 6/11, and my sisters birthday is 9/11. My boyfriends birthday is 4/11 also and we constantly see the time 11:11 or 1:11
Holy moley, Cheyenne. 11s galore in your circle. Perhaps become more aware of how you’re feeling and what you’re doing and saying and thinking – both you and your boyfriend – when you notice 11:11. Is there a common thread or does it seem more random? It feels like there are messages in those instances for you, beyond the general meaning of the number itself. 💕
We see the sequence every time we are together or if we’re on the phone. It was a little scary for a while
So interesting. If you’re ready, now is the time for you both to become more aware of the deeper meaning of it. It could be a great couple exercise.
Hi Ellen! I just discovered your blog and I’m loving it! I was searching for the deeper meanings of 11:11, 10:10 and 12:12. I’m seeing them everywhere. I’m drawn to the clock to check, and boom, it’s there. I also found a feather in the most odd, unsuspecting place yesterday, so I’m wondering if that plays into it. I’ve read how pennies and feathers can go hand in hand.
Thanks for your wonderful site!
Hi, Amanda! 🙂
I’m so glad you’re finding my blog helpful. Few people have mentioned also seeing 10:10 and 12:12, so it’s neat for me that they’re part of your “wake-up call,” so to speak. I see them a lot – especially 12:12.
That feather definitely represents an angel stepping forward to “give you a sign of peace and worth,” as I’ve just been told. Interesting that it’s “worth” over what might typically be “love.”
With pennies, you can count on them being a sign from an ancestor; a loved one who’s passed on. I just heard “nickel and dime,” which tells me those coins will also be signs for you.
Thanks so much for your kind comment. Peace. 💕
Today is 11/11.
I put in my notice today @ one of my bartending gigs. While my replacement hours @ my other bartending gig is not set in stone yet, opportunity is abundant. I’m nervous about the grey area. This read is very helpful and reassuring.
Wow, Beth. Big breath. It feels you made a powerful choice on your own behalf. Sometimes – probably most times – something has to be released in order to make room for what’s meant to move in. That’s what your choice feels like.
That grey area… I feel you and yet it’s within that grey area that the magic exists. It’s where the “sea change” happens; where the energy shifts and the insight downloads and what was once murky or illegible becomes crystal clear.
I’m so glad you found solace in this post. Wishing you all the wonderfulness that awaits you. 💞
Thank you, so very much, for this helpful insight! I have been inundated with the 11’s ALL THE TIME. I had been focusing on the significance of just 11 and then I came across this post. This has been a time of great turmoil and change for me and I am so thankful to have found this! Thank you!!
You’re so welcome, Elisa! You could consider 11 itself the “anchor” energy. It’s the energy of mastery and amplification. The numbers we see with it provide further context. I’m glad it helped. 💞
Thanks again!
No joke every single day I always see 3:11, 8:11, etc. and I don’t even mean to. And one time my phone glitched and it said 4:11 then it stopped and it said 4:10. I don’t know if what I’m experiencing is a spiritual thing or a message but it’s happened in the past then it stopped. Now it’s happening again, but it’s getting to be really bad now. Someone plz respond and give me some advice.
Hi, Alanza.
When you look at the meanings of the numbers you’re seeing here in my post, what do they tell you?
You said, “I don’t know if what I’m experiencing is a spiritual thing or a message.” What you’re experiencing is one and the same: spiritual messages.
It feels like you aren’t really listening; that you’re seeing the numbers and recognizing their importance, and yet you’re ignoring these signs.
A question for you to consider is: Why aren’t you engaging with the messages, when they’re so clear? What are you afraid of? (There’s nothing to be afraid of.)
Peace. Blessings. 💞
Hi,
This is all so interesting!
I have been seeing 7:11, 9:11 and 12:34 constantly the past couple of weeks. My sister and I associate the combination of numbers 711 to my Dad. He passed away last July and we like to think its him. I seem to get off my bus at 7:11 when I used to call and talk to him. His dad passed on 7/11 20 years ago, we had a storage unit that was 711, it was always everywhere. Just noticed on my husbands babies keepsake he was 7lb 11 oz when he was born. So a little freaky.
I am also starting a direct sales company to try to free myself from desk life. Not sure if that possible but I read a post above that 12:34 could be momentum or progress.
This last week I keep seeing things out of the corner of my eye when I’m alone. I could just be tired. I have a 7 month old who my Dad never got to meet. He passed when I was pregnant.
That reminds me my daughter was born on October 13th, friday. Her 6 months was a friday the 13th and her 9 month will be a friday the 13th. I always thought 13’s were bad but someone said they are lucky. She’d the happiest chubbiest baby ever.
Sorry so long,
Thanks!
Laura
What beautiful synchronicities and meanings you’ve interpreted, Laura. The 7:11s are so wonderfully blatant, aren’t they? I love that your Dad is catching your attention in that way.
12:34 is a great number to see! I love that you’ve connected it to your company. That feels really good.
I’m noticing that there’s more to see than there used to be. Light beings – including our loved ones in spirit – are showing up in more defined ways. I’ve been seeing a lot more “shimmering” energy around, with some sort of audible display occurring almost on top of the sighting. Fascinating.
Unfortunately, Friday the 13th was appropriated as a day to be feared for… who knows what purpose. Back in the day, it was known as the Day of the Goddess. (Hmmm… Could be a clue there as to the appropriation. 😉) From my perspective, delicious energy resides in a day dedicated to the Divine Feminine.
Thanks so much for sharing. Peace. 💞
Thank you! I love the Divine Feminine. She is definitely the beautiful blessing that we needed after losing my Dad. Yesterday I think I Iooked at the clock every time it hit a 0:11. And my Grandmother’s mirror somehow ended up really far from my makeup bag – too far to make sense. Guess everyone wanted to be a part of Mother’s day. I didn’t used to pay this much attention I’m going to start now.
Hi Ellen,
Thank you for this.
For a while I was finding pennies all over I was going even in my car seat. Then constantly during the day I’m seeing numbers 10:10, 11:11, 12:12, 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55 . I even wake up from nowhere and see those numbers. I joke to myself saying I haven’t seen 6 or 7, 8, 9. Sure enough that afternoon I saw a check 666. Then 999 someone wrote a time.
I’m curious to know why it started with pennies then numbers. Maybe I didn’t pay attention before on numbers but now I don’t find pennies anymore every day as before, that’s one once a while but I see these repeating numbers all day on the clock.
Hi, Kate!
You’re quite welcome.
I love that your experience started with, basically, “pennies from Heaven” – those wonderful winks from our loved ones in spirit. In a way, you might look at those pennies as your “starter kit” for getting you to pay closer attention to the signs being offered to you.
One you did start paying closer attention, the repeating numbers and elevens began showing themselves because you were ready to receive them. One thing, for you: Pay attention especially to the 5:55. There are some changes coming your way that will support you and the work you’re doing. The 5:55 will, in effect, light the way.
Blessings be. Love. ~Ellen 💞✨🔮
Finally!! The answers I’ve been searching for about the :11s. Thank you so very much.❤
Excellent, Angel! 😊💗 What other questions do you have about them? I’m planning a much deeper post on the subject.
What about seeing all the sequence.? Throughout the day for the past couple of days I’m seeing 8:11,9:11,10:11,11:11,12:11,1:11,2:11,3:11 and so on in a sequence. It’s always that I have the urge to look at the time and its on an 11.
Hi, Vanessa! This happened to me Thursday and Friday, too. It was wild.
For me, it felt like a whole lot of validation around what I’m currently doing and where I’m envisioning myself heading. Does that jive with you and your current situation, or could it be that your guides, angels and ancestors are doing the equivalent of bonking you (gently, of course) over the head to get you to pay attention?
Likely, it will be one or the other. Blessings. 💞🔮
I just wanted to mention that I have a good idea of what it means, but I am not see time when I see these #’s. It comes with a lot more: symbols and writing. Wish I could draw them. Also what comes along with that is beams of light, coming from different directions, and colors. I even see like tiny, tiny, lights smaller than a salt grain. And I have to really be tuned in, or I’ll lose the sight of them, and have to get it back. It has its ways, put it this way. It’s hard, but when tuned back in with them, I could make them move by my thinking, and separate them, bend them, move them. I’ve been doing this for over 38 users, since I’ve been a little boy.
Thank you so much for sharing, Max. At this point, I reckon a lot of us no longer just see the time associated with those numbers. 😊 That they’re more than a time reference is abundantly apparent, and so very beautiful and hopeful. I love that tuning in to the vibrations of the numbers allows you to access their light structures. It’s easy to imagine how beautiful that must be. That’s a practice many of us would be well-served to undertake. Thanks again for sharing. Blessed be. 💞
