What Are Angel Numbers & What Do They Have to Do with Essential Oils?
Have you ever noticed a repeating sequence of numbers? For example, you see a license plate with “555”, the next time you look at the clock it says “5:55”, and then at the grocery store your bill comes to “$55.50”. These repeating numbers are often called “angel numbers.” Some call them messages from the Universe or the Divine. Let’s look at how they relate to essential oils, too.

My Angel Number
I realized many years ago that “33” and “333” are numbers that have shown up frequently throughout my life, but never thought about them being spiritual messages or guidance from the Universe.
However, I have found that as I become more connected with Nature, my mind is also open to recognizing communications from the Universe. When I visit with “my tree” each day, I sense a pull from her, like she knows I’m there. While I’m working in my garden the bees don’t bother me. When I lift my face to a gentle sprinkle, I feel like I’m being blessed with the holiest of waters.
So, now, when I see repeating patterns, I pay attention.
For example, last week, I saw in sequence 222, 444, and 777. Not once, but twice! [My interpretation on this number sequence below.]
Angel Numbers and Essential Oils
Recently, I became curious about the significance of Angel numbers themselves. And as I read about the meanings behind these numbers, specific essential oils came into my mind.
🌺See my Recommended Suppliers below
111 & Lemon Essential Oil
111 = New Beginnings, a Fresh Start
Trust your intuition. Take the first steps towards a goal.
111 is associated with spiritual awakening, connecting with your higher self, and stepping into your life’s purpose. When you see 111, it’s a reminder to stay positive and focus on your goals. Your thoughts are particularly powerful in manifesting at this time.
Why Lemon (Citrus limon)? Lemon essential oil is bright and energizing. As much as it’s a staple in green cleaning, Lemon creates a fresh clean foundation for your goals. It promotes a positive energy and encourages energetic expansion.
222 & Lavender Essential Oil
222 = Balance & Harmony
Find equilibrium in your life. This could be physical, emotional, or spiritual well-being.
222 often appears when your life is in need of balance, especially between your personal and professional spheres. This number also signifies good fortune in finances, relationships, and career. For those seeking love, 222 may indicate that a soulmate is near.
Why Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)? Lavender essential oil is beloved by most aromatherapists for its ability to promote harmony in mind, body, and spirit. Its floral, yet herbaceous, aroma is soothing with a gentle touch that enhances calm.
Learn more about the Lavender essential oils and how to use it to support your wellness in my book Lavender: Lavender Recipes & the Plant Behind the Oil. You’ll find Lavender at:
- My Etsy Store (signed paperback, US)
- Amazon (paperback & Kindle Unlimited, international).
333 & Sweet Fennel Essential Oil
333 = Creativity & Self-Expression
Pursue your passions and share them with the world.
333 is often associated with creativity, self-expression, and spiritual growth. Seeing 333 may indicate that you’re on the cusp of a spiritual awakening or that the spiritual realm is guiding you towards a higher purpose.
Why Sweet Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)? Sweet Fennel’s sweet, earthy, anisic (licorice-like) aroma relieves tension, reduces mental fatigue, and dissolves creative blocks. If your in the midst of a spiritual awakening, Sweet Fennel will provide protection on your journey.
🔶️Special Safety Considerations: Sweet Fennel essential oil contains a high percentage of the chemical constituent trans-anethole. It should not be used in any application during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with estrogen-dependent cancers or endometriosis, or with children under 5 years.[2]
Substitute: Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) essential oil is steam distilled from the dried fruit, so I see it as a seed oil that embodies potential. It’s warming, motivating, and helps move stuck energy.
444 & Atlas Cedarwood Essential Oil
444 = Stability & Security
Build a strong foundation. Trust in the Universe’s plan for you.
444 represents clarity, decisiveness, and being on the right path. When 444 appears, it’s a message that your hard work is about to pay off, that positive changes are coming. It’s also a reminder to stay grounded and trust in the journey.
Why Atlas Cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica)? Atlas Cedarwood essential oil has a woody, smoky, slightly balsamic (think balsamic vinegar) aroma that is relaxing and grounding. It helps center energy to help you find sure footing and increase self confidence.
Substitute: Virginian Cedarwood (Juniperus virginiana) essential oil is also grounding and centering. It has a fresh cut wood aroma that opens the breath and instills confidence.
555 & Neroli Essential Oil
555: Change & Transformation
Embrace coming changes with an open heart and mind.
555 is a sign that significant shifts are on the horizon, particularly in areas of personal growth and life direction. The appearance of 555 encourages embracing change and staying open to new opportunities.
Why Neroli (Citrus aurantium var amara)? Neroli essential oil has a complex aroma, herbaceous and floral with a touch of spice. It provides emotional support, relaxing nervous tension and soothing worry.
666 & Rose Absolute/Rose Otto
666 = Purpose & Peace
Look inward. Discover what’s truly important to you. Get clarity of purpose.
When 666 appears, the message often represents a need to balance material and spiritual aspects of life. It may be a call to reassess your priorities and focus on your spiritual growth.
Why Rose (Rosa spp)? One of my favorite floral oils, Rose Absolute (or Rose Otto) promotes feelings of love and peace, going right to the heart. It soothes irritability and enhances mood. My favorite use is topical application in a lotion or body oil.
More on the Rose
The Rose is beloved by aromatherapists, herbalists, and skin care formulators. In this post all about roses you’ll find a dozen ways to incorporate Rose into your life to promote wellness inside and out!
777 & Frankincense Sacra Essential Oil
777 = Spiritual Growth & Enlightenment
Deepen your connection with the Divine. Seek inner wisdom.
777 is considered a highly spiritual number. It represent inner wisdom, intuition, and spiritual awakening. Seeing 777 may indicate that you’re on the right path spiritually and that your intuition is particularly strong at this time.
Why Frankincense Sacra (Boswellia sacra)? Frankincense sacra has a long history of use in spiritual and medicinal practices. It has a spicy aroma with a note of green apple. It’s grounding and centering, enhancing the ability to look inward.
Substitute: Frankincense Carteri (Boswellia carteri), like Sacra, is grounding and centering, but its aroma has piney notes with a touch of citrus that makes it lighter and fresher than Sacra.
Frankincense Sacra for Spiritual Healing
This beautiful resin essential oil is incredibly healing to the spirit. In this post you can learn more about Frankincense Sacra and make a roll-on to support energetic well-being.
888 & Peppermint Essential Oil
888 = Abundance & Security
Manifest your desires.
Seeing 888 is a positive sign in matters of career and finances, indicating that your efforts are likely to be rewarded soon. The appearance of 888 may also indicate that you have valuable insights and life lessons to share with others, potentially benefiting those around you.
Why Peppermint (Mentha x piperita)? Peppermint essential oil has an expansive aroma and energy that fills a space with positivity. It’s an uplifting essential oil that promotes productivity and focus. It’s powerfully minty aroma is refreshing and invigorating.
999 & Sweet Basil Essential Oil
999 = Completion & Ending
Recognize and celebrate the closing of a Life chapter. Or realize that it’s time to close the book on a situation.
999 may appear when you’re nearing the end of a significant phase in your life and preparing for new beginnings. It’s a reminder to let go of what no longer serves you and prepare for new opportunities.
Why Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum)? Sweet Basil essential oil is calming like a gentle supportive hug. Its herbal, anisic (licorice-like) aroma may also contain notes of clove that enhances it warm comforting energy. It supports clarity of thought and uplifts the spirits.
Interpreting Angel Numbers
The interpretation of angel numbers is deeply personal. Trust your intuition and consider how the numbers resonate with your current life circumstances.
Now my interpretation of my recent series of angel numbers: 222, 444, 777.
222 Seek Balance + 444 Right Path + 777 Follow Intuition
I have been putting a lot of energy into my “work” and neglecting some other areas, like self and home care. The interesting thing is that when my life is more balanced, I find I have more inspiration and energy to apply to my work! 222 was telling me my life is out of balance.
I’ve also been contemplating some changes in the direction I want to take. So, the appearance of 444 tells me I’m heading in the right direction with my ideas. And 777 tells me I need to follow my instinct.
To support myself during this period of transition, and to remind me of this guidance, I created a roll-on blend from the essential oils associated with these angel numbers.
