Angel numbers have been known to guide you. When you see certain numbers repeated in sequence, it could mean that your guardian angels — in the spiritual sense — are sending you a divine message. They are trying to help you attain your goals by surfacing numbers. Since different numbers have different meanings — here's more for angel number 1, angel number 2, angel number 4, angel number 5 and angel number 8 — it's good to understand what they mean, so you can harness them and truly use them to your advantage.
So what is the meaning of the angel number seven? When you see the number seven in the variation of 7, 77, or 777, what does this signify? And, what should you do to harness the power of the number? We spoke to two experts to give you the ins and outs of this angel number.
What does it mean to see the number 7?
According to psychic therapist and spiritual teacher Vincent Genna, author of The Secret That’s Holding You Back, the number 7 is very spiritual and comes with high vibrations. It's considered the most sacred of numbers because of its connection to God, as Genna points out here:
There are seven days of the week because God created us and the world in 6 days and rested on the seventh.
The number seven is used in the Bible 754 times.
In the Book of Revelation, there are seven churches, seven angels to the seven churches, seven seals, seven trumpet plagues, seven thunders and the seven last plagues.
The Bible was originally divided into seven sections.
We have seven chakras or spiritual centers in our energy field.
On a developmental level, humans experience a cycle of change every seven years.
There are seven planets and seven colors of the rainbow.
Genna also explains that the number seven is related to inner wisdom, mysticism, intuition, and inner strength. "When you see the number seven repeatedly, the angels are telling you that you need to turn to a spiritual path and get closer to your spiritual nature," Genna adds. "You may need to see the spiritual side of things if you are having a difficult time in your life."
For Linda Berry, “angel whisperer,” spiritual coach, and owner of the Spiritual Discovery Center in Southern California, the number seven surrounds you with the energy of "magic." If you see the number seven frequently, be prepared for good news and positive changes, says Berry.
"In numerology, the number seven represents wisdom, thoughtfulness, and being mindful," Berry explains. "Be patient and trust in the divine timing as changes will appear as long as you have faith that your journey is going exactly as it should be, even if you can’t see the full picture just yet."
As angel numbers do, the number seven is there to guide and support you.
What does it mean to see the number 77 or 777?
Seeing the number seven repeated adds a sense of urgency, Berry explains. "If it continues to show up, it might be a sign to slow down on your journey." Perhaps you've been pushing too hard instead of enjoying the ride?
"The angels are trying to get your attention when you see 7 repeatedly," Genna adds. "They are telling you that something truly divine is happening in your life. You are headed in the right direction and need to pay attention to your intuition more now than ever."
Seeing three number sevens triplicate the "magic" of the number. "When this triple seven appears, it's time to tap into inner abilities and powers. Proclaiming your desires, the Universe surrounds you with the angels to help you step into your power in order to create and experience the life that you desire," explains Genna.
What should you do when you see angel number 7, 77, or 777?
Seeing 7, 77, and 777 means you're getting a divine message from your guardian angel. The sign of encouragement is great, but before you move forward, there are steps to take so you harness these numbers.
When you see the angel number seven in its various forms, Genna suggests you stop what you're doing and assess your spiritual nature, by asking yourself the following questions:
Is your spiritual nature as strong as it could be?
Do you understand who you are as a spiritual being having a physical experience?
Do you understand your relationship with a higher force, the Earth, and other?
Your answers to these questions will determine where you are in your spiritual journey and path. Where you are in your spiritual journey can then help you develop and manifest the life you want. As you evolve, you can also help others evolve, says Genna.
According to Berry, seeing 7, 77, and 777 is your guardian angel's way of telling you to stay strong and to continue moving forward on your journey — even through changes and obstacles. "The path ahead can become challenging, but the message is to keep a positive outlook in order to overcome anything," Berry says.
Embrace positive energy while being present in the moment. "Use this as a daily affirmation to open yourself up to new experiences and opportunities," Berry suggests. "This may require you to catch up on things that need your time and attention."
What does the Number 7 mean for love and relationships?
When it comes to your love life, it takes two to tango. So if you are presented with the number seven (or its other variations: 77 or 777), it could be a sign to involve your partner in your spiritual journey, says Genna. More can be accomplished if you're both growing, creating, and experiencing the number seven's energy together.
If you are in a relationship: As one unit, you can manifest wonderful dreams in your life, and grow deeper in unconditional love with your partner, according to Genna.
Berry notes that the numbers are also a good reminder of balance within your romantic relationships. "When all parties work together in balance, the relationships will flourish and be full of love and happiness," she adds. "It's showing that you need to open your heart and let love in."
From there, your relationship can reach a new level of intensity. "It's time to build the love by increasing intimacy, entering a stage of excitement, and often the most peaceful, cooperative period in the relationship is on its way," Berry explains.
If you are single: "If you are not in a relationship, and you are seeing 777, the angels are telling you that you need to take some time to get yourself on a spiritual path before diving into a partnership," Genna cautions.
If you're not with anyone, this number can also be a sign that you'll soon meet a new love interest, says Berry.
In friendships: "If you are already on a spiritual path, and in a romantic relationship, but you still are seeing 7s repeatedly, then lifelong friendships are in your future," Genna points out. "It also means that you have devoted friends around you who will support and protect you."
What does the number 7 mean for money and career?
Simply put, the angels are telling you that you will be financially successful if you see the number seven repeatedly. But, you need to have patience, says Genna. "Financial success takes some time. Continue your pace and journey, and you will attain your financial goals," he says.
Berry says that the number seven is an analytical one, and it comes with inquisitive energy. "It's the most contemplative, perceptive and mystical of all the numbers," Berry points out. "It has the energy similar to a recluse, monk, or hermit because it's very independent and introverted." But when the number seven appears, it could also indicate the need for calm in order to dig and examine deeply.
"Finding comfort in solitude can help," Berry recommends. "This privacy is important for discerning feelings and re-charging energy."
Once you can give yourself that sense of calm, you can better dissect the path you're on and uncover hidden answers. "Powers of analysis, judgement, and discrimination are being developed when this number makes an appearance," says Berry. Berry reminds to always trust your intuition especially during this time.
What does the number 7 mean for health?
Have you been feeling like you need to be healthier? Seeing the number sevens repeated could mean you do need to exercise more, sleep better, and practice better health habits overall. "Ignoring the signs can result in a loss of energy and health problems," cautions Genna. "If you are constantly feeling exhausted, when you see sevens it’s time to make some big changes when it comes to your health. Make sure you are eating correctly, and balancing your diet with meats, vegetables, and grains, since diet is so important to human health."
Health-wise, the number sevens can also be pointing out that you need to take positive emotional and behavioral steps to avoid stress and anxiety, Genna adds. Try meditating a few days a week to help relieve anxiety and rejuvenate the body.
To Berry, the number seven's appearance as it relates to health can also make you acknowledge perfectionism and impatience. These challenge may be keeping you from seeing things. "This is a sign to be more open and accepting of others as well as yourself," Berry recommends. "It may also show a lack of awareness of one's inner life, suggesting a need to develop more faith in the unseen." This awareness can only impact your health positively.
