Unlike zodiac signs or astrology charts, angel numbers have nothing to do with the details surrounding an individual's birth. Nor are they used to understand facets of your personality. Instead, they are a guide for determining what might be coming your way and how to navigate it.
"Number patterns are a trigger to reset your frequency codes, and there are often synchronicities associated with your own personal relationship to certain numbers that repeatedly show up in your daily life," explains author and astrologerLisa Barretta.

What's so special about the number 333?
ivosar/shutterstockBarretta explains that three is a sacred number for many. "The Free Masons revere the 33-degree mark of their order. In magic rituals, many actions are performed three times. Three also is a linking code for streaming the past, present, and future into one experience."
In numerology specifically, Rachel Clare, an astrologer at Mysticsense, says the number 3 is often associated with creativity, self-expression, growth, and expansion. "When this special trio appears, it is believed to amplify these energies and implies that you are in a period of growth, both spiritually and personally."
Clare explains that when you see 333, it may be a sign that you are in alignment with the energies of the universe. This can be interpreted as a confirmation that you are on the right path, are attracting positive experiences and opportunities, and/or that positive changes are on the horizon—perhaps by way of letting go of old patterns or beliefs that no longer serve you.
