In two days’ time it will be November
11, and I’m really excited about this. At the risk of sounding like a spiritual
geek (I guess it’s much too late for that...), 11.11 in any year is a
significant date to me because it’s a line-up of my favourite number – one.One is strong in my personal numerology – and plus, November, the 11th month, is my birth month. In spiritual terms, this number signifies creativity and confidence, and it appears twice for me in my soul purpose numbers (meaning this energy is extra intense) – so these are the areas that I’m challenged to harness and develop in this lifetime.
I’ll talk more about soul purpose
numbers further down the page – and explain how you can find out your own, if
that’s something you’re curious about – but first I want to talk about number one
in angel numerology, because repetition
of numbers is something that a lot of people notice.
Recently on a Facebook group I’m part of, someone posted a comment that she kept seeing ‘1111’ everywhere – she’d glance at her phone and it’d be 11.11am. It’d appear on number plates. On lottery tickets. What was the significance, she wanted to know?

There are two layers of meaning. At its
most basic level this is the angels saying hello, and popping in to let you
know they’re around and they’ve got your back. We all need constant reminders
of that (even me… especially me...) But for those who are looking to grow and
expand (which I assume describes you, given you’re reading this blog), this is
also a wake-up call. The angels are reminding you at that moment to watch your
thoughts, because your thoughts are creating your future – and if you’re bogged
down with negative thoughts, those will block what you want. I always take the
appearance of a ‘111’ sequence as a prompt for me to mentally delete
the negative concepts that have been playing on my mind, then affirm to the
angels what I *do* want (current goal: more clients), and thank them for
helping me attract that into my life. So essentially it’s a powerful
manifestation number. Which is very convenient, because…
November
11 also happens to mark the emergence of
a new moon, which is a powerful time for manifestation. Woo! Adding to that,
the new moon happens to be in Scorpio (that’s my sign, BTW!), which is the zodiac’s
most deeply intuitive sign.  |

What does all this mean? In short: this week is an intense time for creating
what you want – but remember that it’s your responsibility to focus your
thoughts to attract what you desire. It’s about believing you CAN have what you
dream of, and about tuning into your intuition for guidance. You may have powerful
dreams this week, and you’ll almost certainly be having strong nudges from your
intuition (that’s the Scorpio moon’s influence). If there’s something you want,
you really really want, Wednesday night would be a perfect time to sit down
with a pen and paper and write down exactly what you’re aiming to create
in your life. You could also combine that with a meditation to clear your
mind of any negative residue. Powerful stuff!
Going back to soul purpose numbers, following well-regarded numerologist Dan
Millman’s analysis, I’m a 38/11. The three stands for expression – pretty
relevant, as a writer – and sensitivity – pretty important, as a healer – and
the eight is for abundance and power. Basically what this tells me is that my
job in this lifetime is use my creativity to uplift and empower others. And
that I’ll be supported by the Universe in doing so. To be honest I’m not overly thrilled
about this. My ideal weekend is spent watching reruns of The Fresh Prince
in my pyjamas – which, I’m pretty sure, does not benefit the community at
large. Still, I know I’m happiest when I’m being creative, and I also know I’m
being pushed to expand more than I have ever before, and reach out to people.
So I do accept this challenge, although I’m less-than-enthusiastic about it
sometimes. While I might not like all the elements of the 38/11
analysis, the information has been far more useful, and felt more accurate, to
me than horoscopes (even though I have found astrology relevant, to a degree).
If you’re interested in working out
your own soul purpose numerology, here’s a link to the calculator. It’ll only
give you a brief summary – you need to read Dan’s book The Life You Were
Born To Live to get the full rundown. I hope you find it as helpful as I
did.
