Finding yourself noticing 444 everywhere? From waking up at 4:44 a.m. to seeing the number across receipts, license plates, and beyond, the 444 angel number has a habit of cropping up in moments when you need it most.
Considered by many to hold spiritual significance, angel numbers are sets of repeating numbers that are thought to be the universe’s way of offering divine guidance, with each angel number having its own unique meaning.
While the angel number 333 symbolizes growth and 555 represents change, 444 has its own spiritual significance. Ultimately, angel numbers mean something different to everyone, depending on when and where they appear, so when you do next see 444, here’s what to know.
First off, what are angel numbers?
Angel numbers are repeating sequences of numbers, often in sets of three or four, that are thought to hold spiritual guidance. According to angel expert Sunny Dawn Johnston, “when you repeatedly see an angel number around you, it’s a sign to pay close attention.”
They appear to either “get our attention, remind us of something important,” or “guide us in a direction that is for our highest good,” she says.
Letao Wang, a certified spiritual counselor who specializes in professional tarot, astrology, and numerology, says angel numbers are a relatively new concept, though numerology—that is, the study of the spiritual meaning of numbers—has been around for ages.
“Angel numbers are repetitive numbers that we tend to see or come across in our daily life,” says Wang. “In numerology, we believe that each number carries a different vibration. So when we look at these repetitive numbers, we tend to believe it means something. It’s a message that our guardian angel, or what others call your spiritual higher self, the universe, is trying to convey to you.”
What is the meaning of the 444 angel number?
Wang says in numerology, the number four is about creating something concrete or practical in their lives. “Think of the four pillars of a house—that’s what supports the roof,” he explains. Compared to other numbers, like three, “Four is more steady and it’s more structured. So when you see the triple four, this is a hint from the universe telling you that this is a time to create that structure in your life. If you have any wishes, try to tackle those from a more pragmatic perspective.”
“If you see an angel number, like 4, 44, or 444 repeatedly, don’t ignore it,” Johnston says. “The numbers are there to guide you and offer you positive energy, support, and inner confidence.”
In numerology, 444 is a sign that what you’ve been preparing is going to happen imminently (as long as you’ve been working on that strong foundation, of course). The number is thought to be a message from your angels that everything you’ve been building toward is on the horizon and your determination will be rewarded.
Johnston explains that “444 comes to you as a sign that your angels are with you, guiding you step by step.” Its appearance should act as reassurance that you’re not alone and positive energy surrounds you every step of the way.
What should I do if I see 444?
Beyond the universe reminding you that you have a strong connection to the angelic realm, 444 is typically thought to be an indicator of positive things to come and assurance that you’re on the right path.
