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.

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.
