Does it feel like a number has been following you around recently?

Everywhere you look, it feels as though you are encountering one specific number or combination of numbers – on car license plates, coffee shop receipts, in phone numbers, on graffiti, you name it, you can’t turn around without being faced with this number or these numbers. Confused? You don’t have to be!

These numbers are known as “angel numbers” - a collection of digits that represent the universe reaching out to you and letting you know what path you should be taking, what you can expect in your future, and how to navigate certain situations that you currently find yourself in. If you’ve been feeling like you’re standing at a crossroads, not sure what route to take, these angel numbers can serve as a guiding light to what will serve you best in the future.

Who exactly is sending these numbers for you? That depends on your belief system – some people see them as messages from God, others from the universe, and some choose to view them as nudges in the right direction from the best version of themselves. Whoever you see as behind these messages, just know that they can be powerful tools in reaching your goals and achieving what you want to achieve – if you know how to read them!

Which brings us to the angel number we’ll be looking at today, 1331, and just what it means if you’ve been seeing it frequently in your life lately.

The numbers 1 and 3 hold powerful significance in numerology. 1, as you might imagine, is a signifier of independence, grounding, and strength – think of it as a reminder of how strong you can stand on your own two feet, without becoming reliant on the help of others around you. Traits like determination are strongly associated with this number, and it’s also an indication that some big opportunities might be coming your way soon.

3, on the other hand, encourages an engagement with your inner child – 3 is a reminder to embrace your optimism, hope, playfulness, and spirit, and focus on improving your communication with the people you care about. This number is an open door in numerology, inviting self-expression and self-discovery, a perfect balance to the more independent, grounded nature of the 1.

The double appearances of both these digits in the angel number 1331 intensifies their power, and the nestling of the double 3s between the 1s nods towards the idea that your self-discovery is best taken care of in a space where you’re grounded and independent. That’s the central meaning of 1331: a chance for growth that comes from a place of deep, personal understanding.

Together, the numbers add up to 8, a number which signifies a comfortable balance between the spiritual world and the material one – something to consider if you’re looking to explore new avenues while keeping yourself grounded and strong!

The angel number 1331 applies to relationships in a number of ways, but first, let’s talk about what it can mean if you’re currently in a relationship.

In this case, the message being sent is one that encourages you to develop yourself as an independent entity from the relationship – not to emesh yourself too deeply in another person and lose your personality, goals, and dreams in the process. But it also encourages a playful exploration with your partner, a chance for both of you to ground yourself as individuals while enjoying plenty of play and fun with your lover – whatever that means for the two of you!

As for the singles reading this, 1331 is an indicator that you should prepare yourself for the possibility of someone new entering your life – but not to let yourself get too caught up in the whirlwind of a new romance. Focus on yourself during this time and the energy you can attract, rather than what you can chase – your strength and self-assuredness will bring the right people into your life, people who respect who you are and, more importantly, encourage you in reaching the highest version of the person that you can be.

Outisde of romantic love, this number can serve as a reminder to focus on your community, and building up a strong series of connections with the people around you. Don’t neglect the platonic love in your life – it's with a community around us that we grow best, and allow others to thrive in the process!

During this time, making use of the crystal rose quartz can be really useful – meditating with this powerful crystal known for helping develop self-love and boundless care for oneself is a perfect complement to this powerful angel number.

The balanced nature of the 1331 angel number can be an indicator that many things in your life are coming in to balance – and your twin flame, as the balance to your spiritual self, is part of that.

But you have to balance out the other factors of yourself in the process. Now is the time to tend to your wellbeing, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally – think of it like laying down the soil for a positive, thriving relationship with your twin flame when they eventually make their way back into your life.

As with the 1s at either end of this number, sometimes, twin flames need some space from each other – and that’s a totally normal and healthy part of the process. This number, if you’re going through a separation or questioning whether you might need one, can be a signifier that your growth as individuals needs to take precedence over your growth as a couple for the time being. You have all the time in the world (literally) to be together, and spending time apart can be just as valuable as part of your overall twin flame journey.

Your care for each other is still clear, but a whole takes two solid parts to make it right, and this angel number is guiding you to do that work on yourself while you give your twin flame space to do their work, too. Approach this period with positivity and optimism!
