Whenever you see a special number on a digital clock or notice a string of numbers on a phone call, you stop in your tracks and wonder if it’s the universe’s way of telling you something. Well, after speaking to experts about the significance behind angel numbers, specifically angel number 1, angel number 2, and angel number 5, we learned that thought may be true.
“Angel Numbers refer to a repeating number or number sequence. It will usually show up and catch our attention on at least three separate occasions in a specific period of time," according to Linda Berry, owner, consultant, coach, trainer and reader for the Spiritual Discovery Center in Southern California. "It's a message from our personal celestial team of angels, which is either used to get our attention, remind us of something important in our lives, or confirm something that we've been curious about.”
Berry, who has been training clients in numerology and has an Angel Whisperer program for over 20 years, explains, when you experience this, don’t ignore it. Be on the lookout for numbers on a clock, in a movie or television show, on a license plate or cell phone, on signage, even on technical devises.
So, what does it mean when you see the number 8 once, repeatedly, or strung together to make an 888? Let's find out.
What does the number 8 mean in numerology?
In numerology, the number 8 signifies self-confidence, ambition, and goal-oriented energy, Berry tells us. “This number's overall essence is to be in charge, handle money well and develop organizational and managerial skills.” Berry says, the number also represents loyalty, dependability, practicality, and hard-working traits.
Similarly, Vincent Genna, psychic therapist, spiritual teacher, and author of The Secret That’s Holding You Back, says the number 8 in numerology is the number of achievement and balance. “It is a powerful number that many people like and believe is lucky, especially in China. It represents love of material pleasures, assets, and money, as well as the love of power.”
Genna points out that people find the number so lucky that some have set their wedding dates around the number 8, hoping to give their marriage an extra good luck boost. “The two circles forming the 8 and like two wedding bands forged in the middle, with one balanced on the other,” explains Genna. “The balance meaning of the number 8 is the need to be able to balance the material world with the spiritual world.”
What does it mean when you see the number 8?
If the number 8 makes an appearance — even if it’s in the form of 88 or 888 — it means you’re on the right path. “Your life purpose and your current goals are in alignment,” says Berry. “You are doing the right thing and are on the path to reach your goals both in your personal life and in career and business.”
Genna says that angels are bringing you messages of forthcoming abundance, love, and compassion. “Maybe you haven’t felt you are achieving the success you desire or aspire for. You maybe feel ill-fated, or that life does not hold for you what you were hoping it would,” Genna explains. “When you see the number 8, the angels are trying to inspire you not to give up, that prosperity and love are in your immediate future.”
Berry suggests that angels are helping you along the way as your past efforts pay off at the moment. All of this, in turn, creates abundance. And as this happens for you, make sure you have an open heart, mind and arms in order to receive the blessings offered from the universe, advises Berry.
What does it mean when you see the number 88?
When you see the number 88, to be specific, this could mean a portal is opening from the universe. Pay special attention if this number appears frequently because it may mean you need to take action when an opportunity presents itself, recommends Berry.
What does it mean when you see the number 888?
According to Dr. Tracey Bond, D.Litt, HUMA. Div, innovator, co-creator of the DoubleOHHSevenEffect and spiritual author, when you see 888, it’s celebratory as it announces newness, in birth, creation, recovery, regeneration in health matters, renaissance, and resurrection in spirit creativity and energy, success, wealth, and prosperity. “It’s such a wonderful guide at one’s path,” she explains. “Just be sure not to allow ego to misdirect it with false pride, or overindulgence, especially when it pertains to career and finances.”
How can the number 8 help you in love?
When you see the number 8 (88 or 888), it could also be a sign that the love between two people is getting stronger and more grounded, Berry points out. “Remember that love is a two-way street and both individuals must give as much love as they receive,” Berry reminds. “The more that's put into the relationship, the more each partner will get back in return.”
When you see 8, 88, or 888, be open and connected to your relationship if your love life is top of mind. “A portal is opening for the pair to grow and change together and now is the time to be open to new experiences, thoughts and ideas in all aspects of the relationship,” according to Berry.
What does the number 8 mean for your twin flame?
Now if the number 888 appears in relation to a twin flame relationship, it’s all about the soul connection of the two people. It may be a reminder that one (or both) of you should not lose your individuality. It's important that each person in the relationship maintain their freedom and not lose themselves in the relationship, reminds Berry. You (and your partner) have a life of your bond. Don’t forget about your interests and beliefs that are independent of the relationship. “This number is an important indicator of keeping the connection fresh and exciting to strengthen the energy of the spiritual connection,” says Berry.
Genna reminds that the number 8 may also help you find that soul connection. Since the number 8 is made of two equal circles, one on top of the other. “So, if you meet someone who completely reminds you of you, and vice versa, and you both see the number 8 repeatedly, this could be the angels telling you that you are both the same soul and somehow are meant to join together in some reasonable bond to continue your path in life as one—partners in some way with the same goals and dreams, but now with two human experiences working together as one.”
How can the number 8 help you in your career or finances?
Since the number 8 represents an orientation toward reaching set goals and achievements, when you see this, it could also be related to your career or finances, but it’s not necessarily what you might think. “Continuously seeing the number 8 may be an indication [that you’re] working too hard,” Berry cautions. Do you find yourself becoming a workaholic—and specifically — mainly to feel important and attain status symbols? If so, take note. Seeing the number may be a sign to get grounded again. As you’re trying to reach your goals, just check yourself and make sure you’re not becoming short-tempered or power hungry.
What is the significance of the infinity symbol?
When you turn the number 8 on its side, it creates the symbol of infinity. Genna says that the number 8 on its side is symbolic of unlimitedness. Particularly as it pertains to life, love, energy, and time are all unlimited in the universe, Genna points out. He reminds that there is a constant flow from source, spirit, God. It’s abundance.
