Have you ever glanced at your phone to check a notification and noticed the time was 4:44 p.m.? Or maybe you bought your daily iced coffee and noticed the receipt said $4.44? If the consecutive numbers made you feel a bit sus for a sec, your intuition isn't totally off—in fact, it’s no coincidence. This is an angel number.
In new age mysticism, angel numbers are believed to be the way angels (or spirits, or the universe) communicate with earthly beings, says Aliza Kelly, professional numerologist, astrologer, and author of the forthcoming manifestation deck and guidebook There Are No Coincidences. The number 444, in particular, can represent your goals and overall stability, adds Anastacia Anastascio, a numerologist, tarot reader, and spiritual coach.
So, uh, yeah that 444 sighting has a much deeper meaning than simply being an expensive coffee order (#worthit, though).
If you’ve been seeing 444 everywhere, here's everything to know about the meaning behind this angel number, the ways it can impact your life, and how you can harness the power of 444 energy.
Meet the experts: Aliza Kelly is a professional numerologist, astrologer, and author of the manifestation deck and guidebook There Are No Coincidences. Anastacia Anastacio is a numerologist, tarot reader, and spiritual coach.
What does 444 mean?
“The shape that corresponds with the number 4 is the square. It’s about having a solid foundation and being settled and anchored in whatever you’re pursuing,” says Kelly. Simply put, 444 is a sequence of numbers that may repeatedly show up in your life to send you a message of stability and support.
“For me, 444 is a symbol of clarity and trusting your intuition. It is about having the protection and support to move forward in the path that you’re on,” Kelly adds. The number also means that stability might be on the horizon, according to Anastascio. So if you're confused about whether or not you're on the right track, seeing 444 should offer you the boost of confidence you need to keep going.
What does 444 mean in relationships?
Overall, 444 is a positive sign, no matter your relationship status, say Kelly and Anastascio.
Whether you’re single, in a relationship (or situationship), or newly broken up, 444 is a sign that your love life is heading in the right direction.
If you’re in a healthy relationship, the number 444 can be seen as a sign of support for that partnership, explains Kelly. “It would indicate that the dynamic is settled and secure. It’s a number [that signifies] stability, so seeing it would be an indication that that relationship is firmly rooted,” she says.
Anastascio agrees, adding that 444 is a “surefire sign” your relationship is “ascending to higher levels.” Basically, whether you decide to take the relationship to the next level or not, just enjoy the positive ride.
If you’re in the earlier stages of a relationship, 444 points to long-lasting love, says Anastascio. And if you’ve been working toward a stronger connection between you and bae, 444 is a sign your manifestations are on their way to becoming a reality. “This shows you and your partner are working together to build a wonderful relationship with safe and sound structures,” Anastascio adds.
What does 444 mean if I'm single?
If you’re single, 444 shows you seek stability and are actively working toward a partnership supporting that goal, says Anastascio.
“444 says you are manifesting the life that you want, but you need to pay more attention to how you are manifesting in your love life,” says Anastascio. “Are you asking for the right things? Looking in the right places? Putting in the work?”
Seeing 444 shows that you are creating an infrastructure that’s built to last, notes Kelly. You are protected, and the universe will not allow a destabilizing person to enter your life. Seeing this angel number could mean that romance is not too far away and, most importantly, that you are working on yourself.
TL;DR: Take a 444 sighting as a sign to live your single life to the fullest, have a fling, or just keep your options open. Your angels are telling you there’s no need to worry about finding a partner. You are in the right headspace, and things will slowly (but surely) fall into place.
What does 444 mean if I'm going through a breakup?
While navigating a breakup can be a bit ~funky~, seeing 444 while you're going through a split is really good news, says Anastascio: “The angel numbers are telling you that you’ve made the right decision, and that you are now headed towards building a solid foundation for yourself.”
Seeing these numbers also encourages you to reframe any difficult circ*mstances going on right now, Anastascio adds. “Recognize that everything is happening for you, and not to you,” she says.
Remember the saying, “If it’s meant to be, it will be”? While those words might not be what you want to hear when you’re grieving the end of a relationship, it’s probably for the best that it's over. So if you see 444 while going through a breakup, think of it as a celestial blanket of comfort reassuring you that, although heartbreak totally sucks, you are being led away from the wrong path (which, hey, is a good thing!).
What does 444 mean if I'm in a twin flame relationship?
Twin flame theory is the idea that one soul splits off into two bodies, and those two people are each other’s mirrors—or twin flames, says Anastascio. “They have so much karma that their life purpose is to learn to either work together, or leave each other alone and focus on themselves. Twin flames are said to go through periods of separation and union, with the ultimate desire being union.”
The whole “twin flame” phenomenon is a bit controversial in the spiritual world. These connections are not easy and can be intense or even toxic, depending on the person you are dealing with, say Anastascio and Kelly. But generally, if you believe you are in a twin flame relationship, seeing 444 can indicate a union is coming, especially if you have been separated for a bit, adds Anastascio.
What is the spiritual meaning behind 444?
Not only can 444 give you clarity when it comes to matters of the heart, the synchronicity of the 444 angel number also has an important spiritual significance. “It can be angels, the universe, God, or your own consciousness. It really is however you individually experience it and whatever your spirituality means to you,” explains Kelly.
Just like seeing a rainbow after a downpour, serendipitously seeing the 444 angel number is a kind of warm hug from the universe, your spirits, God, or whatever higher power you believe in. When you’re going through a rough patch, or just feeling a bit lonely, seeing 444 is a comforting sign that angels are watching over you and delivering divine guidance.
What does 444 mean for my career?
If you’re looking for career guidance and start seeing 444, this is an excellent sign, says Anastascio. Basically, it means your hard work is paying off! “If work issues have been keeping you up at night, you’ll soon be sleeping very soundly as you start building abundance blocks for your future,” she says.
Seeing 444 is also a reminder to keep your foot on the gas. Keep your energy and effort in your career high, and the results you seek will follow. This is also an excellent time to reflect on how far you’ve come in your career, and pay yourself some gratitude, says Anastascio.
Also, while it may be tempting to spend money like you know the promotion of your dreams is coming, 444 tells you to slow down and protect your assets. “This is a sign to be more aware of your financial planning,” Anastascio says.
Why do I keep seeing 444 everywhere?
If you keep seeing 444 everywhere, pay attention to when you see it. Maybe you just got an email with a job offer, or are debating whether or not to sign the lease to a new apartment—if you see this angel number during a decision-making moment, take it as a sign that the angels are giving you the green light, explains Kelly. “If it a job would give you stability, then consider it yours,” she adds. The repetitive manifestation of the angel number is a form of approval to take a leap of faith, so go for it!
In case you need the reminder, your goals are definitely attainable, and the angels are letting you know that your hard work and determination are about to pay off. Welcome the sign as a positive wink, and continue until you reach your objective. The universe is saying yes—all you have to do is continue to the finish line.
How can I harness the power of 444 energy?
It's actually simpler than you might think. First, set intentions, advises Kelly. If you are at a crossroads in life or having trouble making an important decision, setting a clear intention, such as “I want to be in a healthy, fulfilling relationship” or “I want to ascend to the next level in my career,” will allow the energy of 444 to help lead you in the right direction.
“It’s about creating your own grounding, your own stability, and leaning into things that make you feel stable, secure, protected,” says Kelly. To make the most out of that stabilizing energy, pour into activities that make you feel safe and grounded, whether that’s journaling, daily walks to the park, or signing up for that dance class you’ve been promising yourself to try out. Forego the daily distractions (ahem, doom scrolling on Instagram) and do what actually makes you feel good.
Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean saying “no” to thinking outside the box and leaving your comfort zone from time to time. “Spontaneity can also be a part of stability. It depends on your state of mind going into these things,” Kelly notes.
If you are making impulsive choices that are reactive—for example, dating someone just to get revenge on an ex-beau—then seeing 444 could be a sign to slow your roll. “But if it’s something that you want to do because you feel like you need to explore this or that, it could be coming from a secure, confident place,” says Kelly. So maybe making that big move to Europe or starting a new career is not a bad idea, if it is what would make you feel whole.
More than anything, coming across this angel number is an indication that you are living your truth, adds Kelly. So, in this wobbly world where you might constantly be asking yourself if you're on the right path, take seeing 444 as a sign of reassurance. Essentially, the universe is telling you that although you’re on your own, kid (á la Taylor Swift), you’re doing just fine.
