About Me

What if the universe has been trying to get your attention your entire life? For 30 years, I've helped thousands of people discover that those "coincidences" aren't random at all - they're personalized messages meant just for you.

I'm Janet Rae Orth, and I specialize in translating the language of spirit into practical guidance you can trust and act on. Whether it's angel numbers that keep appearing, meaningful synchronicities, or unexpected animal encounters, I help you decode what these signs really mean and how to use them to navigate your path with confidence.

Here's how this works in real life: The night before leading a meditation about signs, I asked for my own sign about whether I was on the right path. As a recent empty nester, I was navigating uncharted territory.

I woke up naturally and something unusual happened - the clock jumped out at me like never before: it was 6:17. Then the calendar caught my eye: it was 6/17. Within minutes, another 617 appeared. When I looked up its spiritual meaning - guess what it said? Encouragement that you are on the right path! It was a direct answer to my asking for a sign, but completely unexpected.

This is what I help my clients experience - those moments of clarity when the universe's guidance becomes unmistakably clear, giving you the confidence to move forward knowing you're supported every step of the way.

What Are Angel Numbers? The Meaning Behind Repeating Numbers

Angel numbers are sequences of numbers that frequently show up in your daily life. Many believe these repeating numbers deliver divine messages that provide valuable insight, protection, and guidance.

The belief behind angel numbers comes from numerology, an ancient system that considers numbers to have symbolic significance and influence over our lives. Ancient cultures like the Chaldeans, Hebrews, Egyptians, Hindus, and Arabs all believed there were hidden meanings in numbers.

In numerology, each number has its own symbolic meaning - like how 1 represents new beginnings and 7 represents spiritual insight. When these numbers appear in sequences (like 111 or 777), their meaning becomes amplified. Here's where it gets interesting: when you start noticing the same number patterns repeatedly - on clocks, receipts, license plates - that's when most people feel it's more than coincidence. The repetition is a spiritual sign.

Why do we see repeated numbers?

When you keep seeing the same number pattern, your angels remind you to pause, reflect, and pay attention to what's happening in your life.

Ask yourself:

  • Are you going through a significant change?

  • Are you experiencing doubts about a decision?

  • Are you wondering about your next step?

The repeating number you're seeing might answer your questions, or signal that you need to take action.

Think of angel numbers as your spirit guides highlighting important messages. They want you to notice something crucial. This could include:

  • Confirmation you're on the right path

  • A nudge to take action

  • A reminder to trust your instincts

  • An invitation to pause and reflect

Now that you understand the foundation of angel numbers, let's explore what specific number sequences mean when they appear in your life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Angel Numbers

Q: How do I know if seeing numbers is really a sign or just coincidence?

A: Pay attention to your intuition and the frequency. If you feel drawn to notice certain numbers repeatedly, and they appear during meaningful moments in your life, your angels likely sent you a message. Trust your inner knowing.

Q: What if I see different angel numbers on the same day?

A: Multiple angel numbers in one day often indicate you're in a period of significant spiritual growth or transition. Each number adds a layer to your overall message. Journal about what's happening in your life to understand the complete guidance.

Q: Do angel numbers mean the same thing for everyone?

A: While angel numbers have general meanings, your personal situation and intuition add specific context. A number might emphasize different aspects of its meaning based on what you're experiencing. For example, 617 means you are on the right path, but it can also mean spiritual awakening, intuition, and divine wisdom. So consider what meaning fits you and your life now.

Q: How long will I keep seeing the same angel number?

A: It depends. You may see the same number message once, or it might keep appearing until you understand and act on its message. Some people see certain numbers often during specific life phases or transitions.

Q: Can I ask for a specific angel sign to appear?

A: Absolutely! You can ask your angels for guidance or a sign, just like I did. Then stay open to whatever signs appear. They want to help you!

How to Work with Angel Numbers

Now that you understand common angel numbers, here's how to start working with them:

When you notice a repeated number, pause and think about what's happening in your life. The timing of when you see numbers matters just as much as the numbers themselves. For example, seeing 333 when you are considering becoming an author signals it’s time to start writing, because this number highlights creativity, communication, and growth.

1. Look Up Their Meaning

While meanings can vary slightly, understanding common interpretations helps your intuition speak more clearly.

Use the Top Angel Numbers Quick Reference Guide ↑ above as a starting point.

Then read [Angel Numbers You Might Be Missing→] for the meaning of additional rare and powerful numbers.

2. Journal Your Findings

Keep track of:

  • Which numbers you see and when

  • How you felt in the moment

  • What questions or concerns you had

  • Any insights that came to you

3. Meditate and Ask for Clarity

Take time to quiet your mind and ask your angels for spiritual guidance. Sit with your thoughts and see what comes through.

4. Trust the Process

Angel numbers serve as gentle reminders to listen inward. Stay open, stay curious, and trust that the spiritual guidance you receive is meant for you.

But Remember: Numbers Aren't the Only Way Spirit Speaks

Beyond repeating numbers, you might also notice signs in the form of:

  • Repeating symbols

  • Meaningful encounters

  • Animals crossing your path at perfect moments

  • Unexpected synchronicities

These divine messages often appear when you're at a crossroads, seeking clarity, or being guided toward a new direction.
