Charles Grant, a professional psychic, medium and numerologist based in Sudbury, Massachusetts, has been "doing numbers" for people since he was 15 years old. Now 59, the founder of My Psychic Sidekick, is still endlessly fascinated by so-called angel numbers.
For Grant, angel numbers are like milestones you come across -- over and over again -- telling you that you're "on the right path in your life and that your angels are protecting you and guiding you." In short, in numerology, "angel numbers" refer to numbers that have repeating digits like 3333, 522 or 711.
If 711 is popping up everywhere in your life these days, you may be wondering: What does it mean? To help you make sense of this mystical number, we leaned on Grant and Sidhharrth S. Kumaar, founder of chief numerologist of NumroVani, based in Haryana, India, to give us the full picture.
"There are many angel numbers, but 711 is particularly potent and uplifting, as it often means that there's a wonderful surprise in store for you -- an opportunity (or many opportunities) that you should at least investigate and not just shrug off," says Grant. It gets better: "The number 711 tells you that whatever you've truly wanted could cross your path soon, reigniting the hope in your soul that everyday life and even society might have sidetracked."
Now, let's break down the component parts of 711, the instigating seven followed by the two ones in this three-digit sequence. Overall, Kumaar considers angel number 711 to be the combination of the energy of fresh starts with spiritual awareness and inner insight. Sounds pretty intriguing to us.
"When 711 shows up, it marks a time of great change, where your spiritual development and intuition are guiding you to new chances," he says, urging people to stay tuned into this space as you explore the deeper connotations of this number and what it can imply for your path in life.
As the numerologist elaborates, angel number 711 is a very spiritual and perceptive number. First, there's the seven starting this sequence, which, Kumaar explains, is deeply linked to spiritual enlightenment, intuition and the quest of higher knowledge. Per Kumaar, seven helps you to concentrate on your spiritual development and to trust your inner direction. "Seven indicates that you are on the correct spiritual road and that, if you search inside and pay attention to your intuition, the solutions you are looking for will show themselves," he adds.
As for the double ones in 711, Kumaar says the combo magnifies the energy of new starts, leadership and manifestation. "Taking initiative, being proactive and building your reality by means of your ideas and actions define number one," he says. "Repeated, as in 711, highlights the influence of your ideas on your life. It reminds us that you may show your wants, and that in this process your good ideas and intentions are absolutely vital."
Grant says the 11 represents a master number -- someone who is abundantly psychic and meant to discover their gifts and use them to uplift friends, humanity and even pets. "Eleven is the most psychic number in all of numerology, and can bring out your very best spiritual self," says Grant.
Put it all together, and 711 sends a strong message of spiritual awakening and the need to match your ideas with your greater goals in life, says Kumaar. "The universe is guiding you to follow your instincts and to act in the required direction toward fresh prospects that speak to the path of your soul," Kumaar adds. He says the angel number 711 also implies that your spiritual road is bringing you toward more awareness and fulfillment and that you are being directed by divine energies.
In the realm of romance, 711 packs quite the punch. For your love life, Kumaar says angel number 711 signals a time of spiritual connection, inner development and fresh beginnings in relationships. "This number indicates that your spiritual path and personal growth are intimately connected to your love life," says Kumaar, stating that the number seven stresses in your relationships the need for intuition, inner understanding and spiritual harmony. "It exhorts you to follow your gut feeling," he says.
Should you be in a relationship, angel number 711 reminds you to pay close attention to the emotional and spiritual link you and your partner create, says Kumaar. This number motivates you to develop your connection by means of honest communication, mutual respect and spiritual development shared between you, he adds. If you're not in a long-term partnership or married, 711 could even indicate that something deeper is on the horizon for your current relationship.
Since 711 symbolizes new beginnings, those who are single will also want to heed its message. "It's a warning to keep receptive to fresh interactions that fit your actual spiritual goals and personality," says Kumaar. This number suggests that you might soon meet someone who fits your spiritual path and who will help you to develop significantly, he adds.
Whether single or in a relationship, "keep open to love that advances your best good" if you repeatedly encounter 711, says Kumaar. "This number indicates that your love life is going to go into a phase of more profound connection and spiritual fulfillment," he adds.
This angel number can mean big things for your professional life, too.
Grant says 711 could mean that you shouldn't give up on finding that dream job -- "the one that's great for your bank account and for your soul." And if you already feel fulfilled in your current role, Grant urges individuals to ask their angels to inspire them to use their job to make the world a better place. Plus, you should embrace this ethos sooner rather than later.
Kumaar adds that 711 implies that your inner understanding is leading you toward your actual calling and that your professional life is on the correct road. "Angel number 711 in your job basically indicates that your intuition is guiding you toward fresh and exciting prospects," Kumaar says. "This is a call to embrace your inner wisdom, move boldly toward your objectives, and believe the cosmos are helping your professional development."
As you may have gathered by now, since 711 is such a powerful spiritual number, it's a way for the universe to tell you to embrace such inner metaphysical development.
To this point, Kumaar says it's a wise idea to participate in spiritual activities including meditation, writing or simply spending time in nature. "Think about the direction your life is meant to go and how you could match your activities to your spiritual aspirations," he says.
You don't need to go to a meditation retreat to deepen your spirituality. In fact, Grant says that just giving yourself 10 minutes a day to let your mind wander and connect more with your angels is a good place to start. "Meditation works for some. For others, it's daydreaming, listening to their favorite music, and walking on the shore or in the woods to hear the messages loved ones on the other side and higher-level angels are sending," echoes Grant. Per this spiritual expert, seeing 711 repeatedly is the ultimate love language from people on the other side to embrace life and break the shackles of your own, self-imposed limitations.
Along with a heightened sense of spirituality, Kumaar shares that angel number 711 underlines the need for tapping into your intuition and focusing on inner understanding. "Spend some time listening to your inner voice and believing the direction you get to be trustworthy. Pay attention to these messages whether they are gut feelings about a circumstance or a flash insight, since they are probably guiding you toward your actual road," he advises.
You should also be open to accepting new beginnings if you repeatedly see the angel number 711. That's because the double one in 711 points to fresh chances all around us, says Kumaar, and you should allow change and be ready to meet fresh challenges. "This is the moment to welcome the fresh starts the universe is presenting outside your comfort zone," he says.
Perhaps above all, let positivity reign supreme. Kumaar suggests putting more of an emphasis on your goals than on your doubts or worries. "Clearly see your objectives and create plans that complement your greater good," he says. "The universe is helping you to realize your wishes; thus, keep concentrated and hopeful."
