Seeing Birthdate Numbers on Birthday

Question:
I, like everyone else, often see 11:11 on the clock. However, the number I see most often is my birthdate, 10/18 or 10:18, either am or pm. I always wonder what it means and know there is a meaning, however, today is my birthday and I saw 10:18 this am when I checked my phone for text messages. What does it mean on normal days and is there significance if it happens on my actual birthday?

Answer: (Responses to questions rely on the accuracy of the name and birth date provided with the question. Typographical errors or incomplete information can result in an incorrect response.)

Seeing your birthdate numbers on your birthday has the same significance as seeing the numbers on other days — unless you, yourself, assign a different significance to the event.

A person sees many numbers during the course of a day. The event of seeing those numbers is mostly forgotten soon after seeing them.

Seeing numbers with special meaning to a person, such as birthdate numbers, is often remembered longer. With a special-meaning number, a person tends to notice that it's the same number that otherwise has special meaning. That extra attention is enough for seeing it to be remembered longer.

The significance of remembering the number is related to the significance the number has for the person. A birthdate has significance as a birthdate. If it brings up special memories related to the birthdate, then those are included in the significance.

Therefore, significance is highly personal. It's related to the person's life experience and expectations. Numerology calculations do not address those types of significance.

Therefore, if there is a special significance associated with seeing your birthdate numbers on your birthdate, perhaps a wonderment, then that association would be a special significance.
