Incredible Facts

The magic of the number 11

Do you often check your phone and see the cherished combination 11:11 on the screen? Is this number sequence repeated in pop-ups, digital notifications, or receipts?

At all times, the number 11 was considered special; various mystical coincidences and events were attributed to it.

Also, note that 2018, when adding the individual digits, also gives us the number 11 (2 + 0 + 1 + 8 = 11). And this means that we are all imperceptibly approaching the most unusual date: the 11th day of the 11th month of the Universal Year.

November 11, 2018

At exactly 11:11:11 am on November 11, 2018, an amazing thing will happen: the personal potential of your soul will be opened and unlocked.

Number 11 in numerology

In numerology, 11 is considered one of the main numbers. This is the number of unique creativity, authentic self-expression and rapid manifestation.

It contains the innovative, incendiary spark of the 1, as well as the soothing, sensitive, psychic gifts of the 2. The combination of the number 11 contains the so-called ascension vibration.

If you look at the shape of the number 11, you will see that it represents two pillars, a gateway that opens a direct portal between divine inspiration and grounded manifestation. In triple time (11:11:11), the number 11 has incredible power.

According to astrologers, on November 11, 2018, the 11:11:11 portal will be wide open, forming the most powerful manifestation gate of the decade. So expect a rapid expansion of your personal inner strength and abundance potential!

The 11:11 combination has special vibrations.

Without a doubt, the 11:11 combination code contains a powerful message of divine guidance, inspiration, and abundance.

However, you need to understand that although the number eleven brings great opportunities, it is also often accompanied by great problems.

The number 11 requires skill, time and patience. Maybe that's why, over the past 11 months of this year, luck has rarely smiled at you.

Fortunately, numerology says that the number eleven begins to manifest itself and express its highest and most innovative qualities only in the second half of the cycles.

This means that in 2018, luck and happiness will begin to smile at you in the last part of the outgoing year.

Numbers 11, 22, at their core, are slow burners that patiently wait for the right hour and moment before manifesting themselves.

So if the previous months of 2018 were not particularly good for you, expect good luck in the remaining two months.

By the way, remember that your transformation is just beginning. Everything that has happened up to this point is a preparation for something much bigger.

The period from October 31 to December 31 is already considered a powerful portal of transformation, when the veil between the Earthly and Spiritual worlds becomes thinner and more transparent.
