How to Recognize Cosmic Signs from the Universe

Humans are life forms, and life forms are energetic. Therefore, because it houses life forms, the universe is energetic too. Have you ever felt as though the universe may be trying to connect with you? This is one major reason why.

Cosmic signs come to us in a multitude of ways. For example, many people associate seeing cardinals with their late loved ones coming back to visit them. But of course, this is not the only one out there!

While there are an overwhelming amount of messages from the universe, it is important to first welcome them and seek them out. If you are closed off to the signs, you may never see them. Interested in learning more about how to recognize cosmic signs from the universe? Keep reading for more!

Types of Cosmic Messages

If you’ve lost yourself in the spiral of seeking solutions to questions in life and never receiving answers, lose yourself no more. It may just be that the signs were there all along, but you simply didn’t know about them! Don’t worry though – this is super common and why we’re here to help.

The universe is vast and mysterious, holding the answers you may seek. Let’s take a look at what some of those messages are.

Angel Numbers

Has an order at your local coffee shop ever come out to $8.88? Or have you ever rolled over in bed to see 11:11 on your alarm clock? These are what’s known as angel numbers, stemming from numerology. The idea behind numerology is that numbers carry certain energies and meanings.

You can experience angel numbers in license plates, receipts, phone numbers, addresses, and clocks. Each angel number, starting with 000 and ending with 999, carries its own meaning. However, meanings vary from source to source.

For example, some sources say 000 represents completion whereas others say it represents eternity. The same goes for the 444 angel number meaning. It gets confusing, but researching each different angel number you’ve been seeing is certainly a great way to start welcoming cosmic signs.

Synchronicities

When someone experiences two separate, unrelated things as meaningfully intertwined happenings, it’s known as synchronicity. These can look like having a dream about a friend and then seeing that friend later on the same day, or hearing a song lyric from a random song on the radio that you truly needed at that moment.

Moments of synchronicity are cosmic signs from the universe, but there is a science behind them!

Humans have a natural desire to seek out patterns. And scientists think that because of evolution, pattern recognition was beneficial to survival. For example, ancient ancestors might have learned survival instincts through hiding during the same time that predators appear. 

So, the next time you’re driving in the middle of nowhere, wanting ice cream, and there happens to be an ice cream stand right around the bend – thank the universe!

Animals

Ah, this is where the cardinal example from earlier comes in! Animals come to us from the universe in all types of ways, but what might it mean when the same owl keeps guard over your backyard? Or when a butterfly lands on an utterly out-of-place spot, beckoning you to notice it?

The amount of traditional and cultural symbolism behind animals is vast. Sometimes, the symbolism isn’t even spiritual – for example, many authors use animals to represent messages within their stories, but the symbolism behind those animals is different from that of a spiritual perspective.

One tricky thing about recognizing cosmic signs is that the answers have such flexibility. Just like angel numbers, you can find one spiritual meaning somewhere and one completely opposite meaning elsewhere. 

However, the flexibility here can be appreciated more because when you see animals, it is up to your interpretation of what they mean. For example, butterflies are most commonly associated with freedom, but if you’re feeling free and keep seeing butterflies, this wouldn’t mean much to you.

Instead, you might associate seeing butterflies with your grandmother who had a strong adoration for them. Thus, whenever you see one, it is her coming to say hello. Or, you might associate them with seeking a higher sense of self. Thus, whenever you see one, you are reminded of your worth and the opportunity for transformation.

Dreams

Believe it or not, those anxiety-inducing dreams you’ve been waving off as “just anxiety” are likely your spirit guides trying to tell you something! The anxiety you feel might stem from subconsciously blocking these messages away and writing them off as nothing.

Scientists still remain unsure as to what causes dreams, but this only means we can explore their meaning further. 

Daily, we are guided by spiritual ancestors – and at night is when they come out to speak. The messages our spiritual guides carry can help:

• Recognize past, subconsciously buried wounds that need healing
• Identify and align with our life’s purpose
• Bring feelings of inspiration and insight to challenges faced
• Discover what next steps are needed in your healing journey

While you may have considered dreams as silly little happenings before, it’s time to look deeper into yourself and what the world is trying to tell you.

Cosmic Signs and What They Mean for You

Above all else, at the end of each day, remember that you are a spiritual being capable of accepting cosmic signs from the universe. Most spirituality is a journey of self-reflection and seeking heightened perspectives, hence the many possibilities rather than concrete answers. 

However, the freedom to choose your meaning might just be the most beautiful part of it all. Between angel numbers, dreams, animals, and synchronicities, the universe is yours to interpret as you best see fit.
