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 (for which you may or may not be a few minutes late to work, oops!) 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.
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.
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. 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 love?
Whether you’re single, in a relationship (or situationship), or have recently broken things off with a partner, and you spot the angel number 444, take it as a sign that your love life is heading in the right direction.
Kelly explains that if you’re in a healthy relationship, the number 444 can be seen as a sign of support for that partnership. “It would indicate that the dynamic is settled and secure. It’s a number around stabilization so seeing it would be an indication that that relationship is firmly rooted,” she says. Basically, whether you decide to take the relationship to the next level or not, just enjoy the ride.
If you’re single, on the other hand, seeing 444 has a slightly different meaning. “If you are single, you are carving an infrastructure that’s built to last. The things that are surrounding you in your life are meant to be there, and there’s a sort of seriousness,” says Kelly. Translation: You are protected, and the universe would not allow someone to enter your life that would be destabilizing. Seeing this angel number could mean that romance is not too far away, and most importantly, that you are working on yourself. 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.
If you are going through a breakup, seeing 444 means your angels want to guide you through this bump on the road and totally support you. Remember the saying, “If it’s meant to be, it will be”? While it 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. “If it’s something that would destabilize you, it would not be allowed to stay in your life,” says Kelly. 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 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.
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.
Kelly shares that, more than anything, coming across this angel number is an indication that you are living your truth. So, in this wobbly world where we’re constantly asking ourselves if we’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.
