Trying to call more abundance into your life? Whether you’re seeking a career boost, a new love interest, more money, or deeper connections, angel number 888 is here to tell you it’s around the corner.
Belief in angel numbers, which are repeating number sequences that many people feel carry “hidden” messages from above, is becoming increasingly common. Discussion of angel numbers is all over social media. An Etsy search of “angel numbers” yields upwards of 5,000 goods, including jewelry, hoodies, and prints, while companies ranging from high-end labels to popular chain dollar stores are selling angel number–themed adornments, too.
But it’s more than a trend. It’s a way of making sense of the world that dates back thousands of years, says Tiffany McGee, founder of spirituality and relationship website Nomadrs and author of Manifesting Love. Our modern understanding of angel numbers originates from numerology, an ancient study of numbers and their mystical significance.
“The idea is that numbers are not just mathematical symbols, but also spiritual entities that possess distinct energies,” McGee tells DailyOM.
Spiritual teachers claim that angel numbers are a simple way to communicate with spirit in any form, whether it’s guardian angels, spirit guides, departed loved ones, the Universe, or energy in general.
If you see repeating numbers, like 000, 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888, or 999, on your car’s dashboard, a clock, a license plate, a phone number, or anywhere else, pay special attention.
“When we have the experience of seeing the same number sequence, we are receiving a message that should not be ignored,” says Linda Berry, a bestselling author and Angel Whisperer coach.
If your total due at the coffee shop one morning is $8.88, and later that day you find out your new coworker’s birthday falls on 8/8, that’s good news, especially if you’ve been trying to manifest abundance.

Angel Number 888: Abundance in All Forms
In numerology, the number 8 signifies self-confidence, ambition, and goal-oriented energy, Berry tells DailyOM.
“This number’s overall essence is to be in charge, handle money well, and develop organizational and managerial skills. It shows loyalty, dependability, practicality, and hard-working traits in an individual — [one] who can see the larger picture,” she says.
“When you consistently see 888, it’s a nudge to embrace opportunities, take calculated risks, and leverage your skills and talents to create the prosperous reality you desire.”
Using these age-old interpretations as a springboard, angel number 888 points to you being on the right path in all areas of life — and that your life purpose and current goals are in alignment, Berry says.
“Angel number 888 revolves around the themes of financial abundance, success, achievement, and the manifestation of your desires. It’s a reminder to stay focused, take inspired action, and trust that you have the ability to create the prosperous reality you desire,” McGee says.
If that weren’t exciting enough, 888 is known to bring good luck and positive energy into your life, McGee says. “Its repetitive and symmetrical pattern is aesthetically pleasing, and its vibration represents balance, harmony, and infinite possibilities.”
And if you’re seeing 8888, things are about to get even juicier, according to McGee. “The appearance of 8888 amplifies the energy of 888. It may indicate an imminent period of significant financial growth and success. It’s a reminder to fully embrace your power to manifest and expect miraculous opportunities to come your way,” she says.

888 in Your Relationships: Love Is on the Horizon
Angel number 888 is all about good fortune — and that includes your love life. “It’s a sign that the love between two people is getting stronger and more grounded,” Berry says. “When the number 888 shows up, it’s a message that loving relationships should be a primary goal.” Moreover, it demonstrates that a more profound spiritual connection is being forged in your personal relationships. The key is to express love through your actions as well as your words, she explains.
Newly single? “Take it as a reassuring sign that healing and growth are on the horizon,” McGee says. “It’s a cosmic reminder that the end of a relationship doesn’t define your worth, and that you have the power to rebuild and create a better future.”
If you’ve been single for a while and are ready for a relationship, 888 means love is around the corner.
“This angel number is telling you to keep your heart open and stay receptive to new possibilities. Focus on loving yourself fully and deeply, as this magnetic energy of self-love will naturally attract a partner who aligns with your authentic self,” McGee says.
888 in Twin Flame Relationships Ushers Growth
Seeing angel number 888 could mean your twin flame — which is a highly charged romantic or platonic relationship meant to expand your spiritual growth — is not only approaching, but also could bring in prosperity.
“This number suggests that when you align with your twin flame [or if you’ve already met your twin flame], the synergy between you amplifies your ability to manifest abundance in various aspects of life, including love, spirituality, and material wealth,” McGee says.
This potential is heightened when you remain conscious of why you’re in each other’s lives in the first place, and you remain in a positive mindset. “It’s a reminder to work together, support each other’s growth, and embrace the transformative power of your connection. [That] can lead to incredible levels of success and fulfillment in all areas of life,” McGee says.
888 Signifies Good Fortune in Money and Career
We know 88, 888, and other repeating 8s all signify abundance. So it’s no surprise that 888 is the sign you’ve been waiting for if you’ve been trying to manifest more money or are looking to up the ante in your career, explains Berry.
But there’s a slight catch: While the ability to attract money is more readily available, it will require some effort on your part. “This is not the time to give up! Continue to look for new opportunities. And releasing all resistance to abundance is necessary by opening your heart, mind, and arms to receive the blessings offered from the Universe,” Berry says.
McGee agrees: “When you consistently see 888, it’s a nudge to embrace opportunities, take calculated risks, and leverage your skills and talents to create the prosperous reality you desire.”
The Bottom Line
Whether you’re at a crossroads in your life or are in need of everyday guidance or support, angel numbers remind us that we’re not alone in our journey, McGee says. Seeing angel number 888 is a message to really step into your power, take action when needed, and allow limitless abundance to flow into your life.
