What are angel numbers, and what do they mean?
Repeating numbers could be sending you a sign

Synchronicity occurs when events that don't seem linked happen simultaneously. It's an important concept when we talk about angel numbers: sequences of repeating numbers that contain repetition (e.g. 111) or patterns (e.g. 1717). Symbolically, these numbers are claimed to offer direction and advice, depending on what your thoughts are when you see them—especially when you see the same repeating number or pattern over and over again, in a short space of time. The significance of numbers goes all the way back to the time of ancient Greece and the philosopher Pythagoras, who believed they were the physical manifestation of energetic vibrations.
