In life, we're always looking for signals. As self-assured as you try to make yourself be, doubt can sometimes rear its ugly head. Sometimes you need a push or a signal to let you know you're on the right path. Enter, angel numbers.
Angel numbers are unique numerological digits that deliver messages and guidance about your journey, says Linda Berry, “angel whisperer,” spiritual coach and owner of the Spiritual Discovery Center in Southern California.
Angel numbers can include: 1111, 222, 1212, 1010, 777 (and the list goes on).
Today, we're going to take a deep dive into the numbers 1, 2, and 3, which Berry says have strong connections to fate and destiny, as well as one's spiritual life path. "Because each life path is unique to the individual, so is the meaning of the 1, 2 and 3," she points out."
And while you might see the numbers 1, 2, and 3 separately (each of which has a meaning of its own), when you see them together, it's even stronger. "Putting the meaning of these three numbers together brings the drive to begin, the cohesiveness to continue, and the excitement to succeed in any life endeavor," Berry explains.
1, 2, and 3 in numerology:
According to Vincent Genna, psychic therapist, spiritual teacher, and author of The Secret That’s Holding You Back, "The numbers 1, 2 and 3 are very powerful numbers. He goes on to give us the meaning of each of these numbers separately:
- Number 1: Represents the ability to create and to be an individual.
- Number 2: Represents duality and balance, and means the coming together of partners, concepts, and different things. It also represents the feminine force, one that represents both grace and power. Two represents a deep desire to love and be loved in return.
- Number 3: Represents growth and expansion. It shows that your life path is unfolding and you are receiving Divine guidance.
"Together, the number 123 — when seen repeatedly — means harmony with self, union with others, and spiritual expansion," he adds. "Your angels are trying to tell you to have confidence in the direction you are going. Your angels are sending you a reminder that everything is working out." Basically, be assured that you're on the right track and can celebrate those successes!
What does the angel number 123 mean?
While your angels are telling you to rejoice in the fact that you're on the right path, they might also be telling you to simplify. Genna recommends, "Evaluate your commitments to others carefully as you enter this new phase. Get rid of anything that weighs down your spirit. This could mean leaving draining jobs, commitments, or habits behind." It makes sense. If you're on the right path, you want to stay on that path and avoid any distractions that may take you off course.
What does 123 mean spiritually?
Similarly to what's noted in the previous section, the numbers 123 (when seen together in sequence) holds a lot of spiritual power.
Mystic Michaela, author of The Angel Numbers Book, podcast host of Know Your Aura with Mystic Michaela!, exclaims, "123 is a stepping stone number! It means that you are on your way with whatever goal you have put forth in your mind. Seeing this number reminds you that little things matter, and paying attention to details right now is crucial."
Basically, every choice you make regardless of how insignificant you might think it is, is part of a bigger picture. Mystic Michaela reminds us to be grateful, too. "Allow yourself to be a little excited about the future," she adds. No pressure!
What does 123 mean for love, relationships and your twin flame?
When it comes to relationships, when you see angel number 123, it's important to remember that the path that you're on is not just your own. In relation to your heart and your twin flame, you're on this path together. "It's important to stay connected and communicative right now to ensure you are not ignoring any little miscommunications, misinterpretations or neglecting one another’s needs and wants," says Mystic Michaela.
If you have a partner, the appearance of angel number 123 might also mean you're about to see a growth spurt in your relationships. "Existing relationships, both personal and romantic, will begin to flourish," Berry points out.
If you're single, on the other hand, angel number 123 is signaling your path to finding love. Berry says to be more open if you're not coupled up because the 123 could be telling you that your twin flame might soon be revealed. "Be prepared to be more accepting at this time, as the angels are creating auspicious opportunities for relationship growth and creation by using serendipitous circumstances," says Berry.
Mystic Michaela reminds us to proceed with purpose. "This number asks you to look at each choice you make for yourself in your personal relationship with self and also in your dating relationships," Mystic Michaela explains. "Reflecting upon how the little ways you treat yourself and others can create a bigger pattern in all relationships in general is a reminder that 123 brings you."
Since 123 is about small steps leading to bigger outcomes, the number also serves as a reminder to ground yourself, Mystic Michaela tells us. Remember that your little moves can affect your future in a big way, so make good choices.
What does 123 mean for career and finances?
The good news is, if you see 123, this might signal that money is going to start flowing, but you need to stay focused. "You should use this message to start thinking about financial security and what you would like to achieve in this area of your life," says Genna. "Remember that the action you take right now is very important, so try to stay focused on what matters most to you. And remember that your beliefs create what you attract, so if you believe you deserve to have money, expect it to come your way."
And since 123 does signify stepping stones, when you see those numbers appear, one can't help but assume career should be a big focus. "Pay attention to details when building relationships with others especially within social circles both personally and professionally," says Berry. "Keep your eyes and ears open in order not to miss opportunities being presented from all directions. This is the right time to move forward without letting doubts or fears get in the way." Give your career that focus and continue to climb step by step.
What does 123 mean for health?
When it comes to your health, the divine message from the 123 can mean that you should "stop worrying over the things you cannot change," Genna points out. "Instead, focus your energies on what you can control. This is to help your emotional health." You are headed the right way, but have faith.
"When you release and surrender your stress and worry, your physical health will become stronger and more energetic," adds Genna.
Mystic Michaela points out the importance of self-care. "Your angels can send you 123 to remind you to take care of yourself in the daily moments which support your mind, body and spiritual health and wellbeing." And quite honestly, you should probably be doing that anyway even when you don't see 123 anywhere at all. Take care of you always, but if you forget to, don't worry, your angels will send you a reminder.
Bottom line:
"The number acknowledges a positive movement forward, rising above obstacles in your life path... There's no need to look to the past for review, what's needed now is to plan for the future and move forward without looking back," says Berry.
So if you find yourself questioning where you're headed, when you see 123, you're getting confirmation to keep going. Take advantage of this energy. No more second-guessing yourself!
