I get many emails from people telling me they see the number 911 in their lives – and what does it mean?  I provide a short answer on the symbolic meaning of number 911:

Nine’s deal with attainment, satisfaction, accomplishment, and our success to achieve an influence on our circumstances. The spiritual meaning of number Nine deals with intellectual or dominant power, inventiveness, influence & control over situations and things.

One’s deal with with strong will, positivity, pure energy as well as new beginnings, and innocence. One’s represent action in both physical and mental realms.

In the case 911, we can double the meaning of the One as it is duplicated here.

So to tell the symbol story of 911, we may deduce that this number meaning as a whole deals with starting out in a new direction the hope of obtaining accomplishment, release, satisfaction or even creative expression.

This number meaning sequence also tells us that the observer (of this number) is powerfully intent on getting on a different track in life or wanting to making a bold move in a different more challenging direction with a goal of becoming recognized for his/her own true meaning.

As a whole (visually), we can see that the 9 is an invention or evolution between the doorway of the number Eleven.  We can see this when we look at the number sequence as a whole image….looking at the 911 we see the nine curling out of an expanding spiral of creation….entering (from an unexpected clockwise direction) through the gateway of infinite possibilities (the two ones side-by-side representing the door way).

Personally, when I see elevens I know I am walking through a door of change – I need to prepare myself to expect a change coming.  Adding the 9 prefix aludes the change will be sweeping, dominant and will have a tendency to control my mind if I am not careful & aware of what is happening amidst the change.

A special note, elevens are very powerful, and I’ve written a whole page about them on my website: Spiritual Meaning of Number Eleven    I also have good information on all the primary number on my Spiritual Meaning of Numbers page.

The following two questions were put to me about the  symbolic meaning of number three.  My responses follow.

Question #1) “Why would the number three be popping up in a persons’ life?”

In order to answer this question fully, you must closely consider what is going on right now in your life and apply it to the message of the Threes.
For example, if you are dealing with financial issues, Three’s are sending you a message to make a foundation for yourself financially.  Cushion yourself – consider a savings plan so that you can pool your finances in order to direct yourself to a financial goal.  Think triangle – with a sound financial base – you can aspire upward to the financial peak you wish to have.

If you are dealing with emotional issues, Threes could be sending you a message to deal with these issues in a creative manner.  Invoke play methods such as journalling, drawing, dancing, singing – any creative outlet in order for you to get some emotional clarity.

If you are dealing with relationship issues – most often there is a love triangle involved.  This does not necessarily mean an issue of infidelity – it could simply mean you (or a loved ones) attention is being drawn away from the object your affection.  We all have more than one lover – not all of them human.  For example, a love triangle can be caused by a spouse spending too much time at work – attentions are withdrawn and a rift is caused.

If you are dealing with making a difficult or heavy decision – Threes are beckoning you to consider the timeline in respect to your decision. Consider the past and present events that lead you to the point of this decision.  Then carefully consider the future and all its potentialities in relation to this decision.

Lastly, if you are having spiritual issues – Threes are a clear message to learn more of our spiritual guides.  We all have them, and (ironically) most of us usually have three of them.  Spirit guides are always with you – they are an aspect of you – your soul – an aspect of God – an aspect of All that Is.

Question #2) “Why would I be noticing 3s at all?”

This depends on your belief system.  Here are a two main points of view:

•  Your unconscious is trying to send you a message – and your subconscious is reading it in the form of Three’s popping up – thus causing your conscious mind to question the prevalance of Three’s – which lead you to research the meaning of Three’s – which brings you back to the beginning.
•  The God of your understanding (God, Buddha, Allah, or even Science depending on your belief system) is trying to send you a message.  Which also brings you back to the beginning (finding out the meaning of the message).

The bottom line to every message is this:  “Know Thyself”  I can tell you what years of study have brought to my understanding – but it’s just an opinion.  In then end – YOU are the expert.  YOU determine the meaning of events in your life.  I simply provide a backdrop on the many potential meanings a symbol or energy represents.

A follower of my blog questioned why she kept seeing the number five, to which I respond: 

The vibratory energy of Five is sending you a message to move or change the scenery in your life.

Fives are all about travel, motion, direction, adventure, and change.

Ironically Fives also represent the Five human senses.

If things are unstable in your life right now – your attention to the Fives are an indication that you need to take action to balance the equation.  Get in touch with all of your senses – get grounded – be aware of yourself and your surroundings.

If you have been thinking of making a change – your notice of the Fives is a clear signal to begin moving in that direction of change.  Take all possibilities into account, and begin to work in the direction you feel most pulled.

A word of caution – Fives can be extremely erratic – Fives can have a very unpredictable energy. 

Work with the number Five – incorporate it into your meditations.

Concentrate on the a geometric representation of Five (like a five pointed star) before sleeping and upon meditating.  All the while concentrating – pose the questions you want answers to.  The vibrational frequency of the Five will allow for answers to come.
