What are angel numbers?

Angel numbers are sequences of repeating numbers, often seen in sets of three or four (i.e., 222 or 2222), although they sometimes show up as split numbers (i.e., 3433 or 717). As professional intuitive and author of the Awakening Intuition Oracle DeckTanya Carroll Richardson previously explained to mindbodygreen, “Angel numbers are a synchronicity, or a meaningful coincidence—divine guidance from angels and the universe.”

The different digits from 1 to 9 have different meanings, such as the number 5, for example, which represents change, or 1, which represents new beginnings.

And according to Richardson, when you see an angel number, it’s important to figure out what just happened or what you were thinking about when you saw it. You could see 1:11 on the clock right as you were thinking about starting a new project, for example, which would be a green light from the universe.

What the numbers 1 & 6 represent in numerology:

While the ancient tradition of numerology isn’t actually related to the more modern idea of angel numbers, the single digits often have parallels in terms of their meanings.

In the case of the number 1, Richardson says, this number is all about new things—new cycles, new beginnings, and bringing new experiences into your life.

Numerologist Kaitlyn Kaerhart echoes this point, previously telling mindbodygreen that seeing repeated ones in numerology signals a beginning is near, and that it’s a good time to “focus on innovation and creativity, embrace your independence, and go after what you want.”

The number 6, meanwhile, signifies a need for balance and beauty, according to Richardson. “It often comes up with clients when they need to increase their self-care or center and ground by focusing on themselves in healthy ways,” she previously told mindbodygreen, adding that this makes sense, because the number 6 can be very service-oriented, feeling a responsibility to others.

Angel number 616 meanings:

1.

Remember to give and receive

Angel number 616 combines the qualities of balance and beauty from the number 6, with the kickstarting energy of the number 1. If 616 is appearing to you, it could indicate that it’s time to usher in a new beginning of more balance in your life by ensuring you’re giving as much as you’re receiving (and vice versa) in some area of your life.

What to do about it:

Whether you’ve been overworking at your job, putting too much energy into one-sided relationships, or not putting enough effort into something important to you, 616 is a reminder that the best things in life require us to find a balance of giving and receiving.

When we give too much of ourselves, we can quickly become burnt out—but when we don’t give of ourselves at all, we can feel stagnant, unmotivated, or disconnected from others.

Angel number 616 can also show up when your own energy needs your attention. Perhaps certain things have been distracting you, making it difficult to give yourself the self-care and rest you need. You might be feeling scattered, disorganized, or spreading yourself too thing, and this angel number is a sign to dial it back.

What to do about it:

The number 6 speaks to grounding and nurturing yourself, and 1 signals a new beginning, so together, 616 asks you to offer yourself a clean slate of self care. Get in the habit of turning down commitments to things you don’t really want to do, and instead use that time to rest, take care of yourself, or do anything that makes you feel good.

3.

Cleanse your environment (and energy)

Last but not least, 616 can also be a call for cleansing—whether that’s your own aura, or your actual living space. After all, clutter in your space can make your mind feel cluttered, too. And other times, we could all use spiritual cleansing practices, like meditation or sound healing, to get stagnant energy in your own energetic field moving.

This number can also be a reminder to identify any areas of the relationship that are out of balance, and seek ways to find more equilibrium between the two of you.

616 twin flame meaning

As a refresher, twin flames represent the idea that one soul can be split into two bodies, resulting in two people having a deep soul connection. Twin flame connections aren’t known for being easy, as they’re associated with accelerated spiritual awakenings and intense growth, but twin flames can also facilitate major healing in each other’s lives.

If you think you’ve found your twin flame and 616 keeps appearing, it’s likely showing up as your guides remind you to take your spiritual journey seriously, and pay attention to the lessons that present themselves in this relationship.

It’s incredibly easy to lose yourself and your groundedness in a twin flame relationship, but when you can strike the balance of focusing on yourself and fostering this soul connection, that is where the real growth occurs.
