Ever wondered if those random, recurring numbers you see from time to time (or frequently!) are maybe not so random after all? Doreen Virtue makes it clear in her book that looks at each angel number and their meanings:
“Numbers are among the primary tools that angels use to communicate with us.”
Doreen Virtue’s book is the ultimate guide for finding the meaning of numbers.
Doreen explains it like this:
“When we ask the angels [or God, the Universe, whoever you connect with] for help, they always answer…and sometimes they respond with direct intervention. For instance, you ask for a better job and voila! – a friend telephones to say that her wonderful company is now hiring. Most of the time, though, the angels answer us with Divine guidance [which] leads us in positive and healthful directions, and it can come to us as intuitive feelings, brilliant ideas, visions and dreams, or signs. Signs include anything significant we see or hear that answers our questions or needs.”
I’ve posted before about the significance of seeing recurring numbers, but today’s post is dedicated to number 47!
I’ve been seeing 47 everywhere – I’m talking car license plates, letterboxes, in movies, you name it! Even as I was considering this blog post this morning, I looked up and saw 47 on the microwave clock!
And so what does this mystery angel number 47 represent?
According to Angel Numbers 101, 47 means:
“The angels say that you’re on the right path. Keep up the good work!”
This has been just the message I needed after recently publishing my own book. It has helped me to know that even though life has been extra busy, that I am exactly where I need to be.
For me, it is also further confirmation of how the Law of Attraction works. In essence, the more you notice something, the more you get back of that same vibration and manifestation.
If it’s not numbers you’re seeing, but feathers, rainbows or coins, they too are signs that the Universe or maybe a deceased loved one is trying to get a message to you.
Here are some other posts on that topic that you might find interesting:

- Messages from the Chalkboard – Number 227 – Law of Attraction
- Messages from the Chalkboard – Number 9 – Lightworker
If there’s anything you take out of this post it’s this (and once again I defer to Doreen):
“There are no limits as far as the areas in which the angels can assist us…our celestial guardians want to help us with every nuance of life including health, happiness, fears, career and finances, relationships, family, travel, and so forth.”
The most important thing to remember is because of a little thing called freewill, they cannot intervene unless we ask. It can be aloud or silently, but I encourage you to ask and just see what happens. You might be pleasantly surprised by what signs come your way.
Feel free to share in the comments your experiences with repetitive numbers or signs. How do they make you feel? What do you think they’re indicating to you? Is it to show you are on the right path, like in the instance of 47, or maybe it’s a messages from your guides or deceased loves ones? If there’s a number you’re curious about put it in the comments box and I’ll let you know what it means. Thanks for sharing.
47 number. But what right path in my life. As I am just sitting home doing house works. Then what it means to me????
My apologies for the delay in my reply, like you I have been busy with housework, as well as other work. When I read over your comment, I instantly received the message that by doing your housework, you were in a “holding pattern” for lack of a better phrase. You were right where you needed to be at that time because there is often an orchestrating by the Universe to bring people and situations to fruition at just the right time so that things turn out for your highest purpose. I trust that by now you will have had some new signs and insights and have gained some clarity on the next step you needed to take.
My experience with the number 47 is always clock related. At once, probably twice daily I look at my phone or clock and it’s 147, 1247, 547 etc. it’s become amusing just how often it happens. More and more. Any thoughts? (I’m a reiki master as well!….coincidentally)
Hi Sharon, lots of synchronicities going on for us – same name, same healing modality and frequently seeing 47! I often see the number 47 come up on movies as well as on the clock. It’s a cute little reminder of the message that I’m on the right path as I’m sure you are too. I’m also wondering if today we’re connecting not just because of the message in 47, but the other message from Doreen about there being “No limits as far as the areas in which the angels can assist us.” Is there an area of your life that you could use some additional support, a project you’re attempting to get off the ground, an idea that hasn’t yet taken flight? I’m getting a sense that you have big wings and are ready to soar even higher! Best wishes my friend.
Awakening is the most profound and extraordinary thing that can or will ever happen for you. It is the end of being lost in illusions and the end of seeking. It means you have seen your true nature and this begins a new journey of how to live as what you have seen yourself to be.
Even if there is some suffering involved in an Awakening and some bodily pains due to blocks and resistances held in the physical body this is all for the good as it forces you more into Presence where there is no suffering.
Andy, thank for sharing your wise and heartfelt insight. I’m reading your powerful words again today with fresh eyes in light of a recent suffering I experienced as part of an Awakening. It seems I was not in the right place to reply to your comment before, or indeed allow it to land softly on my soul. Yet, now as my heart chakra heals and opens to receive, I can feel your message taking me within. I am grateful that you chose to share this on my site for myself and others to see and integrate.
I see these numbers all day every day and the most unique places. Every since I started this new Journey I’ve been seeing these numbers (247,347,94747,147 and more) on clocks, microwave, when watching tv, the amount of comments on a post, email and text message amount, shopping amount when totaled, a duration of a video of 47 and the list gives on.
Sounds like you are getting strong confirmation that you are always on the right path! Maybe sometimes you doubt yourself (we all do!) so the Universe is giving you swift and abundant reminders so that you can focus on what truly matters. When we spend too much time and energy wondering what we could be doing rather than trusting ourselves wholeheartedly and completely, we use up precious energy and resources. You have something big that you came here to do and the Universe is encouraging you to keep forging ahead. You will know what it is, it speaks to your heart and soul. Blessings to you today and every day.
