Angel Number 13: What it Means

Ok, so you might think that seeing the number 13 everywhere (which you are) is really unlucky. And you know what they say about 13 being "unlucky for some"? I think the strange thing is that, hotels skip the 13th floor, airlines skip row 13 and people dread Friday the 13th. Yet here you are, looking at 13 everywhere and wondering whether you should be freaked out. And I just want to say to you - don’t be. Here are my thoughts right now on this :.

What does the angel number 13 mean?

I have been writing this stuff for over thirty years. So 13 is probably one of the most complicated numbers because of the bible. And no it's not cursed. It is change that follows you around, not bad luck chasing you around, I want you to understand. So it is the end of something and also the start of another thing. It's the death card in my tarot deck (moondust dictionary) and in all the other decks... which, by the way, does not mean actual death. It means transformation. You are moving into the old version of you.

It seems to me that 13 has been given in ancient works a really bad reputation because people fear change. That number also represents change. Add 1 + 3 and you get 4. & 4 is stability, it is structure. That is solid ground you stand on. But 13, when it feels like it, 13 is not chaos either. Something solid lies beneath all that moving. It is like something is built while something else is destroyed.

I believe from seeing this number over and over again in readings: 13 comes when you want to grow, even if growth is the last thing you want right now.

What does angel number 13 mean?

Well…13 is about resilience I think. About being knocked down and getting up again... remember that song... and going in different directions in life. What it is is about going through something hard and coming out the other side changed but not broken.

The 1 is beginnings and independence. That spark that lights everything. The number 3 is for that inner child and the creative side of you. Even expression. Introducing something into the world. And if you add them up and get 13 - that number that says you'll have to work for it but it will be worth it. And 13 does not give you anything on a plate, that's clear to me. It is not that type of number. It asks of you something. Effort. Faith. The ability to keep going when others would rather give you up.

I have cats who knock things off tables to see them fall. They aren't being naughty, they're curious. They simply would like to see what happens. Sometimes 13 has that energy as well. So it disturbs things not to hurt you, but to show you what's possible when old arrangements are shaken up.

What does it mean to have angel number 13 in love?

To anyone who is 13 in love, everything is about to get right. But that is not how that number works. 13 in love is all about transformation. About relationships that push you to improve. About love that won't keep you small and comfortable.

I feel like people seeing 13 around love are asking people to look at their patterns. For anyone single and seeing 13 I think something is shifting in you (like the death card) I think it is your attitude towards love that is changing. Your ideal person is changing. This might seem crazy, weird or disorienting. That's normal, since 13 rarely transitions smoothly. It does necessary ones.

If 13 keeps popping up in a relationship, something is trying to change in love for you. Perhaps the relationship itself. Maybe just you. In either case, 13 is saying :. This cann't stay the same. It depends on whether you'll grow together or apart. So here are my thoughts from seeing this in readings: To be honest, 13 in love is not the best thing ever. But it's honest. And honest is what leads somewhere real.

What does angel number 13 mean to twin flames?

I believe twin flames exist. I have seen those connections. I felt them in readings. Two people who don't know each other logically. Also, 13 in a twin flame connection is about the hard times, the challenges. Also I feel like 13 comes out in twin flames when you're tested too. When the connection is making you grow in ways you never signed up for. If it's worth it: When you want to know if it's worth it.

I think 13 with twin flames is a reminder to me that this kind of connection isn't meant to be easy. This is supposed to transform you. The difficult phases are not indications that something is wrong. They're indications that something is working. Painfully. Slowly. But working. If you're in a twin flame separation and you see 13, I feel that means the separation has a purpose. You have to learn or become something before reunion can happen. The number isn't promising when. That the struggle means something is promising.

What does 13 on the clock mean?

Well, if you're seeing any of these times: 1:13. 3:13. 13:13: or if the clock is on the 13 minutes past then this is a BIG reminder that you are in the middle of something. Not at the beginning no longer, not at the end either. It's the messy middle where most of the growth happens. What I saw from seeing this: When 13 appears on the clock, stop and think about what you're avoiding. What change are you resisting? What ending have you been delaying? 13 on the clock is a poke - saying: you know what needs shifting, stop pretending you don't.

So what does 13 mean in a text message or notification?

Maybe you see a message sent to you at 13: 13. 13 on the phone, or 13 unread messages. Maybe a text came through at 13 minutes past. I think 13 in messages is communication and change and 9 out of 10 something has to say. Maybe another thing you've been waiting to hear about is coming. That exchange, that connection, is what the number is all about.

See who sent the message. Just what were they saying? And just what were you doing just before you saw this number? Your guides use what's there. Any notification is good.

What does the bible say about angel number 13?

So much of the bible I have read for the spiritual signs and I think the verse 12 is about completeness not 13. And 13 is a strange number in scripture. It was Judas at the last supper who would betray him - the 13th. So people take 13 as meaning betrayal, that bad things will happen. That seems too simple, though. I think 13 is what comes after completeness in biblical terms. The complete set is 12. 12 tribes. 12 apostles. That 12 is structure and order broken by 13. That thing that doesn't fit, the disruption, even the wild card. And sometimes disruption is needed.

We have the famous love passage in 1 Corinthians 13. Love is patient, love is kind. The whole chapter talks about love being above all other spiritual gifts. That's 13. Transformation through love. It is the thing that breaks old rules and makes new ones. And 13 in scripture isn't just bad. It's complicated. It is the number that asks: How much will you let go? What old structure should crumble so something new can grow?

But what is folklore about the number 13?

And let me just say this - 13 has always been feared and revered - especially Friday the 13th. Loki was 13, in Norse mythology, at a dinner party at Valhalla. He killed Balder, the god of love. 13 became synonymous with chaos - the unwelcome guest who wrecks everything.

But 13 was sacred in older times. There are 13 lunar cycles a year. Women had 13-month cycles with the moon. And 13 was the number for the divine feminine. Of intuition & cycles & body wisdom. Personally, I think 13 was demonised because those older traditions were shoved underground. The feminine, the cyclical, the intuitive became threatening to those in power.

My take away from all this is that 13 has this really bad reputation, but.... says more about people fearing the number than it says about what the number means. People around the world fear change. They resent the feminine. They fear the uncontrollable. And 13 cares about none of that in my case. They keep coming up asking you to grow.

What does angel 13 mean for me professionally?

For those wondering what 13 means in money or career terms: your work will pay off eventually. Not immediately. Eventually. I feel like people seeing 13 around work are in that awkward middle place. This is the part where you work hard but haven't seen results yet. This is the part in which you wonder whether it's worth it.

It's worth it. I think 13 comes up in careers and you say: keep going. You are able to actually see the transformation happening though you can not see it. The foundation is being built when nothing seems to be moving. I think 13 in career is no shortcut. It is about earning something through persistence. Become the kind of person that holds success before the success arrives.

Money - What does angel number 13 represent?

I touched on that above and I do think 13 around money is your relationship to scarcity. Do you believe in money? But what if there's never enough? You don't deserve it? That it slips away so easily? 13 wants you to look at that pattern. See how your beliefs about money are creating your reality with money.

I don't think 13 is promising wealth. The upside is that once you do that internal work - you change those deep beliefs - you stop operating from fear - then the external stuff will start to shift too. I have found this in readings: 13 and money is about the inside out transformation. How you think about it will change as well as how you experience it.

Does angel number 13 bring bad luck?

No. No, I don't believe so. And yet everyone says it does! And I've done this work for years and no number is bad luck. I think across the board 13 is challenging. It asks of you things. It shows up at hard times and at transitions. But that is no bad luck. That's life.

Want to know what angel number 13 is asking you?

That the hard thing is leading somewhere - that's like tarot's death card. Those changes aren't punishments. That is life. That old structures are falling away and something new is coming in their place.

And so here it is... you are seeing 13 because something is ready to change in you. You may not be ready. Maybe you're fighting it. That's okay. 13 is patient by itself. It will keep showing up until you quit resisting and get moving. You can expect the transformation - whether you are ready or not. But then 13 is just giving you a heads up, it is saying stuff is happening... now. You decide what you should do with that.
