You might not know what angel numbers are, but you’ve likely seen them in your day-to-day life and may have even reacted in response. One of the most famous angel numbers is 1111, prompting the instinct to make a wish.

Angel numbers are a series of digits that can help you focus your attention or predict what might be coming down the metaphorical road. One of the steadiest angel numbers is 1212, which symbolizes direction, trust and balance.

If you’re seeing 1212 on your clock, calendar or anywhere else, it could provide suggestions for your love life and career. Here’s what you need to know about angel number 1212.

Angel number 1212 meaning and significance

Seeing angel number 1212 suggests that you’re heading toward something harmonious. “The number 1212 is telling you to trust,” Courtney Cunningham, certified crystal healer and co-founder of Moon & Stone, tells TODAY.com. “Believe in it, don’t stop now.”

Depending on where you are in your life, this might resonate in a range of ways, but the gist is trusting yourself along the journey. Sidhharrth S Kumaar, an astro numerologist at NumroVani, tells TODAY.com that “1212 supports accepting fresh starts, optimism, intuition and purposeful alignment for spiritual and personal development.”

“It promotes spiritual enlightenment, better awareness and trusting your intuition,” Kumaar continues. “Seeing 1212 signifies good changes and fresh starts. It motivates you to welcome them with your heart and mind, and to keep a positive attitude.”

There’s also a focus on cooperation, harmony and support in your relationships — romantic, platonic or at work.

What does angel number 1212 mean for love?

Angel number 1212 symbolizes balance. In relationships, this is encouragement to see the harmony in your relationship and your part in maintaining it. Kumaar explains that “1212 encourages, all around, new beginnings, self-love, peace and closer relationships in love.” He suggests that now is the time to deepen your relationship through mutual encouragement, open and honest communication, and trust building.

Cunningham seconds this, as she says 1212 implores you to keep going because a new phase of your relationship could be just around the corner. However, none of this means staying in a relationship just for the sake of things if it clearly is not working out. It’s about digging into the relationship and seeing if those healthy areas of growth are available.

That just-around-the-corner suggestion also exists if you’re single and seeing 1212, Kumaar says. But, take the time to practice self-love and self-improvement in the now. Entering a new relationship with these tools can be beneficial.

What does angel number 1212 mean for your career?

What area requires more direction and guidance than your career? You might not know if you’re on the right path or whether you’re making progress. According to Cunningham, 1212 can act as a sign that this is exactly where you should be and that this path is meant for you.

Angel number 1212 brings inspiration to not only accept changes in your career but to welcome them with hope and confidence. “It stresses both personal and professional growth, motivating you to improve your abilities and create well-defined, reasonable objectives,” Kumaar says.

He adds that angel number 1212 encourages a positive mindset, preparing you for when your ideas come to fruition. “See your career success visually and act early,” Kumaar says. “Believe in your ability, trust in divine direction and your job destiny.”

What should you do if you keep seeing angel number 1212?

If angel number 1212 continually shows up, Kumaar recommends keeping a few points in mind (and potentially acting on them). For starters, embrace and stay open to new opportunities. Approach these moments with the confidence and clarity. Practice affirmative thoughts to help you maintain this good mindset.

As you do this, continue to “invest in your own development and create well-defined, reasonable objectives to help you grow,” Kumaar says. “In your personal life as well as your work, aim for harmony and balance to guarantee your health and engage in activities encouraging inner calm.”
