Keep Seeing Angel Number 888? Here's What It Means + What To Do About It

From 111 to 999, certain number sequences are thought to have particular meanings, acting as messages from our guides and the universe. In the case of angel number 888, if you keep seeing this number, you'll want to take note. Here's what it means, according to experts, plus what to do when you see it.

The key to understanding angel numbers is to get clear on what was happening—or what you were thinking about—when you noticed them. As Richardson notes, you might notice the clock at 1:11 as you were thinking about expanding your business, for instance, which would be a positive sign to move forward with the idea and embrace new beginnings.

Firester notes that 8 represents that energy is limitless and that "the forces of the universe are always flowing through and around you," adding that it also serves as a reminder that "the forces you open yourself up to with mindful attention will envelop you in their flow."

This number is reminding you that your angels can help you bring more abundance into an area of our life, she adds, whether it be romance, your career, or your health. "Unfortunately angels cannot magically change all the circumstances affecting your life, but they always try to help," she notes.

"If you possess an abundance of anything—love, time, money—spread it around, and that same abundance will boomerang back to you," she suggests.

Abundance is all around us but only when we're open to it. As Firester tells mindbodygreen, angel number 888 can alert you to amazing abundance flowing your way, asking you to be ready. "Your angels are signaling to you to remember that infinite abundance is always available to you, and raising your vibration, as well as your expectations, can assist you in receiving it," she explains.

According to Firester, when you see angel number 888, meditate on what in your life right now could use some development. "Your angels would like you to reflect on where you could use some of the universe's flow to move through you to heighten your life experience," she says, adding that writing down an intention and stating it loud under the stars on the next new moon can focus this energy your way. 

Lastly, Firester notes that seeing multiple 8s is a sign that you are being applauded by your angels. "You are being told to look around in gratitude and pride for all you've accomplished and how far you've come," she says.

The simple direction here is to simply receive the applause, and further, to let go of any subconscious blocks that are holding you back. Your angels are "asking you to list fears and release them, making room for more good grace to enter your reality," Firester tells mindbodygreen.

If you're single and thinking about your dating life as you see 888, Firester notes that it's a strong signal that you're preparing to welcome more abundance into your love life and that dating opportunities could be coming your way.

According to Firester, if dating is something you have been focusing on, "your angels are asking you to be ready to receive love in all forms in your life." She adds that when you feel the love of the universe for yourself, "it's easier to receive love in the form of a partner via divine assistance."

If you're in a relationship and see angel number 888 when you're with your partner or thinking about them, Firester says 888 is letting you know you've accomplished an amazing thing: receiving love. And that's beautiful! 

All there is to do in this case is feel that love and be grateful for it. As Firester tells mindbodygreen, your angels are asking you to "feel the gratitude for the love you share with the partner you have, and see where you can grow in this energy together."

She adds that twin flame forces can be strong so can sometimes close you off from your own spiritual progression. In this case, "this is a strong sign from your angels to lean on the universe and its grand plan for you," Firester notes.

Of all the angel numbers, 888 is the one that will appear to let you know when an abundant opportunity is in front of you or to simply remind you of the abundance that already exists within and around you.
