If you're not familiar with angel numbers, it's time to get acquainted. When you see 1111 on a clock or 222 on an address, it's the angels or the universe sending you a message. These, as well as 444, 777, 888, 1010 (just to name a few) have important meanings. But if you've been seeing 1212, or just 12, there's something truly special your guides are trying to tell you.

According to Linda Berry, “angel whisperer,” and spiritual coach, "When we have the experience of seeing the same repeating numbers over and over, everywhere we go, we are receiving a message that should not be ignored." When you see repeating digits in a sequence on three separate occasions, pay attention and take note. Based on numerology, angel numbers are a repetitive sequence of three or four numbers that appear in seemingly random places in your life to convey a spiritual or divine message. "It's like a beacon from our celestial team of angels getting our attention to remind us or confirm something in our lives," Berry says.

What does the angel number 12 or 1212 mean?

Berry says 12 symbolizes duality, balance in our inner and outer worlds, positivity, encouragement and hope. "The message relayed says that you and those around you are receiving help from the other side," she adds. "This number brings positive energy which attracts like-minded people into one's life, resulting in better communication and support in all areas of life... This number brings encouragement and says that life will get better soon."

Seeing the 1 and 2 repeated in 1212 represents struggle in the material world and the angels are communicating that they're here to help, says Berry.

According to Vincent Genna, psychic therapist, spiritual teacher, and author of The Secret That’s Holding You Back, the angel number "1212" is a powerful sign from the universe. "[Your angels] are telling you to trust in their guidance and the messages you are receiving intuitively." Seeing the number 12 means there are exciting and positive changes on the horizon.

Likewise, according to Mystic Michaela, author of The Angel Numbers Book, podcast host of Know Your Aura with Mystic Michaela!, the number 12 is also about support. "Seeing it is a reminder from your angels that as you take the next step, you’re not alone."

Mystic Michaela says that you should embrace change and have faith that you will be supported. "The repeated 12, in 1212, is kind of like an exclamation point by your angels to pay extra attention. It's possible that you have to be open to seeing what these new opportunities are in order to take advantage of them," she points out. "Seeing 1212 is an exciting sign that you can fully trust the new people, opportunities and arrangements which have just appeared in your life to be for the best."

Lady Tracey Bond, innovator, co-creator of the DoubleOHHSevenEffect, and spiritual author, adds that the angel number 1212 is also associated with skills, talent, success, and victory. Not only should you recognize the presence for support, the angel number 1212 also carries the message to take better care of self, soul, and health,

What does 12 mean spiritually?

"The number 12 in numerology is another high spiritual number. The Bible refers to the number 12 several times," Genna points out. "The Old Testament talks about the 12 tribes of Israel. The New Testament points out that Jesus chose 12 disciples. And, the Book of Revelation refers to 12 gates and 12 angels. Even ancient Greek mythology has 12 gods."

For this reason, Genna and other spiritual experts believe that seeing the number 12 is a powerful message from the angels. But, make no mistake. "The angels will not intervene or interfere in your life. However, they will always do what they can to send you messages of encouragement or direction," Genna says.

If you're on a spiritual path AND you see the number 12, that means the angels are letting you know you're on the right path. "Remain optimistic about the future because great things are coming your way," Genna adds.

What does 1212 mean for love, relationships, and your twin flame?

When it comes to your love life, you're in luck. Not only does 1212 add great meaning to romantic relationships, it also means a stronger connection with your partner is on the way.

According to Berry, "This number is about never giving up on the relationship even if the road gets difficult. The energy will be in-tuned with each other, enabling both partners to go through difficult times together with ease."

If you don't currently have a partner, the 1212 is signaling that you should focus on yourself while being open to love. "The special person [a.k.a. your twin flame] will come into your life when the time is right, and it will be a beautiful relationship," Berry points out. "When you do find them, your energies will amplify because you will be in sync with each other."

How can the number 12 help you in your finances or career?

When it comes to your finances and career, the 1212 might also be letting you know it's time for you to help others. Berry calls this becoming someone's "Earth angel" when it comes to their career aspirations and commitments. "[You were] born to connect with the angel community throughout [your] life and [you] need to keep [your] eyes and ears open for opportunities to assist others," she explains. As a result, financial abundance will come to you.

Bond points out that angel number 1212, "is a double-powered leadership number that can steer one into pathways of balance, collaboration, cooperation, harmony, in soul, and relationships that can yield rich rewards for its supercharged seekers." Essentially, the expertise that you share will yield you something great in return.

How can you harness 1212?

So when you see the number 1212, what should you do to make the most of the gift? Genna says that your beliefs ultimately determine what messages and guidance the angels and the universe gives you. "If you have a difficult time believing in angels and spirit guides, it doesn’t matter what message you receive," he explains. "It will be meaningless to you.

To harness the angel number 1212 — or any angel number for that matter — you must take note of seeing repeated angel numbers.

"Take a moment to think about this: You’ve been on a spiritual journey or at least you’ve become curious about what more there is to life that you cannot see. You have even been reading these stories about the meaning of seeing repeated numbers, and you learn that seeing repeated numbers are the angels communicating with you, personally. And one day all you see are 12s throughout your day, or any repeated number. You know what that means? That means angels are talking to you. They have taken the time, and they care enough to send you a personal message. Even if it is a warning or correction, angels have taken the time to talk to you. Isn’t that spectacular? Doesn’t that make you feel good about your value and worth? The angels are talking with everyone who is listening, and even whispering to those who don’t, and the reason why is that we are all special and holy. If not, the angels wouldn’t be wasting their time!"
