Are you seeing the number 17 everywhere you look?
The good news is that 17 is a special angel number, which means that your angels have an important message for you.
What are they saying? Are good things in store for you life?
In this article, I’m going to tell you everything you need to know about angel number 17 and what it means for you!
Fair warning: 17 is a particularly powerful angel number. But to unlock its true potential, you have to understand what it really symbolizes.
Let’s begin.
What are angel numbers?
Before we dive into the specific meaning of angel number 17, what are angel numbers?
Here’s my take on this.
Angels want to connect with us and make themselves known. They can do this through various ways, but one the most obvious tool for them is numbers.
No matter what language we speak or where we come from, we all recognize numbers.
While not everyone believes that angel numbers are real, I think they are. And I believe that the angels are using particular numbers to let us know that they have our back during good and bad times.
Angel number 17 meaning and symbolism
Right off the bat – let me tell you that seeing angel number 17 is not a bad sign.
Quite the opposite, actually.
Angels use numbers to bring new insight or understanding into your life. And 17 is can be a pretty special number.
When you see 17 on your phone, on TV, or number plates, or anywhere else for that matter, the universe is giving you a gentle nudge that you’re on the right path in life.
Don’t give up, for success is on its way to you. Keep on doing what you’re doing.
Follow your purpose.
That said, don’t forget to nurture your inner peace along the way. Doing so will make you more receptive of your angel’s blessings.
What does angel number 17 mean spiritually?
There are three spiritual meanings behind angel number 17:
1) First, find your purpose
If you feel like you haven’t found your purpose, angel number 17 could be your indicator that you are very close to doing so.
To find your purpose, there are a few things to consider. What do you love doing?
What makes you feel like time has stopped around you while you immerse yourself in it?
These are some good hints to follow.
Additionally, consider this:
- Listen to feedback: Sometimes other people see our talents more easily than we do ourselves. Listen to what other people keep telling you that you do great. You can also reach out and ask people for insight. Ask them what enters their mind when they think of you.
- Talk to new people: New people give us new insights, perspectives, and ideas. The spark to your purpose might be just one conversation away!
- Explore your interests: Do things you love and explore anything and everything you’re interested in. Sometimes you will find your purpose in something that in hindsight seems so obvious.
- Surround yourself with positivity: Positive people will encourage you to follow your wildest dreams. Bobby next door telling you that life is sh*t and that there is no sense to living will not give you the needed inspiration to find what it is you’re meant to do, trust me.
2) Be thankful
Be grateful for the opportunities you already got in the past, to attract more in the future.
A great way to go about this is with a gratitude journal.
If you don’t already have one, get a notebook (or simply open a new note on your phone) and write down 3 things you are grateful for each morning.
This will raise your vibration even more, and make it easier for your angels to bring good things into your life!
3) Keep on going
Angel number 17 is a sign to keep following your path. Ultimately, it will lead you to your goals and you will find countless exciting opportunities on the way!
The angels want you to know that they support your divine life purpose and soul mission.
The guidance of your angels has not let you down in the past, and neither will it in the future!
Listen to your intuition and higher self now more than ever.
The universe is telling you that you are bound to do great things (and probably already have), so be confident about your skills.
What would a gifted advisor say about 17?
If you’re seeing angel number 17 everywhere, a surefire way to know its message is to speak with a gifted advisor.
No matter what challenges you face in life, a gifted advisor can provide valuable guidance.
And based on first-hand experience, I know who you can turn to…
After going through a messy break up, I recently reached out to Psychic Source. They provided me with a unique insight into what the future holds for me, including who I was meant to be with. I was blown away by how kind, compassionate and genuinely helpful they were.

What does angel number 17 mean for love?
Don’t worry, when it comes to love, angel number 17 is the bearer of good news.
Here are the main things you need to know.
Facing challenges in your relationship?
If you’re currently in a relationship and struggling with challenges, angel number 17 is symbolizing success coming your way soon.
Don’t give up on your partner at this time, especially when you feel like they are the one worth fighting for.
Taking the easy way out will not solve any of your problems. In fact, it will only breed regret further down the line.
Your problems can be overcome with determination and love.
Your angels are rooting for you, and together as a team, the two of you can face anything!
But if you want more clarity on how you should deal with a challenging time in your relationship, I’d suggest speaking to a gifted advisor at Psychic Source.

Take your relationship to the next level
In your relationship, angel number 17 can also be the sign you’ve been waiting for to finally move things to the next level.
Talk about the next step with your partner, maybe that’s moving in together, getting married, or even having kids.
The universe is fully supportive of you taking your commitment to each other to the next level.
Now is the perfect time to think about these things.
It can be scary to initiate these conversations but trust me, it will be worth it!
Are you single and searching for love?
If you’re looking for a relationship, angel number 17 is a sign that the love of your life is on its way to you.
Soon you will fall in love and the relationship coming your way will be healthy.
Remember: a truly healthy and happy relationship comes to fruition when two whole individuals come together and complement each other.
The more you get to know yourself, the easier it will be for you to discern what partner is the right fit for you.
Ask yourself these important questions:
What are your core values? What do you want in a partner?
Hopefully your answers line up with your future partner, so that you can spend your life happily together.
The real meaning of 17 for soulmates
Whether you’re still looking for your soulmate – or already with them – seeing angel number 17 is a very positive sign.
You’ll meet your soulmate soon
Hang on to your horses, because your love life is about to change!
You’ll be with your soulmate soon, just you wait and see.
Then again, you may be wondering:
How do you know if you’ve already met “the one”, your true soulmate?
Let’s face it:
We often waste a lot of time and emotion on people we’re not suited for. Recognizing your soulmate isn’t always straightforward.
Luckily, I’ve just stumbled upon a way to do this… a professional psychic artist who can draw a sketch of what your soulmate looks like.
Even though I wasn’t sure at first, my friend convinced me to try it out a few weeks ago.
Now I know exactly what my soulmate looks like. The crazy thing is I’ve known them for years.
If you’re ready to find out what your soulmate looks like, get your own sketch drawn here.
Fight for the relationship
Even if you and your soulmate have disagreements and fight from time to time, you are encouraged to continue your relationship because it’s worth it.
Giving up now would be like quitting a marathon in the last meters before the end because you feel like you’ll never finish.
Sounds pretty dumb, right? Even though you can’t see the (metaphorical) finish line in real life, you are in the runner’s shoes right now.
You put so much work in, and quitting now would be throwing away all that hard work.
Just be patient, your angels will reward all of your efforts soon.
Is angel number 17 significant for twin flames?
The number 1 indicates that all of your goals and aspirations are becoming a reality sooner rather than later.
The number 7 is a sign for twin flames that good things (miraculous even) are about to happen.
Together, number 17 is a very potent number for twin flames.
Meeting your twin flame
Good news: your twin flame is about to enter your life!
But while you’re waiting, it would be wise to work on yourself and nurture your inner peace.
In other words, get in touch with your soul, your mind, and your inner self.
The best ways to do this could be through prayer and meditation. You can also try to start a gratitude journal (I’ll discuss more of this below.)
Incorporate these practices into your daily routines and watch yourself grow happier and more peaceful every day.
Not only will this open up the appreciation for your life you might be lacking momentarily, but it will also attract like-minded people into your life who will add tremendous value to your life!
Twin flame separation
If you are currently in twin flame separation, know that the problems you and your mirror soul have will dissolve soon.
But for the meantime, you need to immerse yourself in a period of healing and self-confidence.
Listen: a twin flame relationship doesn’t just happen. It’s about growing as an individual before coming together in a twin flame union.
Your angels want you to know that you don’t need a partner to feel whole.
That’s why it’s important to focus on yourself.
Take care of yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually. Learn about who you are as a person.
Twin flame reunion
A sign of encouragement, angel number 17 can also be an indicator that you are about to enter a twin flame reunion.
Have you done a lot of work on yourself lately? Then your angels might agree that you are ready to reunite with your twin flame now.
Get excited! A beautiful phase of your journey is about to begin.
Keep focusing on yourself, while carrying high energy. Your twin flame and you will soon cross paths.
Your angels are rooting for you, and they are so proud of how far you have come already.
Seeing 17 while thinking about someone
Listen: if you’re seeing 17 whenever you think about someone, you should be glad.
It’s a validation of your tremendous effort, and your angel is rewarding you with the arrival of your true love.
Come to think of it: have the last few days, weeks, or even months felt way harder than you think they should have?
Your dating efforts don’t seem to bear fruits, you feel hopeless, and you’re not sure if you’re on the right path anymore?
While these may make you lose hope, you shouldn’t.
Remember: there’s always a rainbow after the rain.
Are you seeing angel number 17 after a break-up?
The end of a relationship can always be hard to face. You and your ex-partner experience a time of soul searching. There are questions that you may want answers to.
Seeing angel number 17 after a break-up can indicate that there hasn’t been a conclusion. There are still things you need to settle with your ex. But this number doesn’t necessarily mean you and your ex will get back together.
Angel number 17 is a divine sign to lay to rest the issues that led to the relationship ending. Being aware of these allows you to know what you need to change within yourself. Then that “baggage” isn’t brought into any future relationships you may have.
What 17 means in numerology
Angel number 17 is a manifestation of the properties of numbers 1 and 7.
Number 1 is a very positive number. It indicates independence, optimism, self-assurance, motivation, progress, individuality, and confidence.
Number 7 is more spiritual. It is connected to inner wisdom, mysticism, and intuition. It can also be a sign of spiritual awakening and enlightenment, as well as manifesting your desires.
Together, they represent the possibility of new beginnings and a happy future.
What does angel number 17 mean biblically?
There are plenty of references to angel number 17 in the Bible. For example, in the account of the Great Flood, the rain started on the 17th day of the second Hebrew month. The ark came to rest on a mountain on the 17th day of the seventh month.
In reference to Jesus, his resurrection is believed to have occurred on Nisan 17.
The common meaning behind angel number 17 in the Bible is that it represents overcoming the enemy. It also means you’re victorious in your fight.
The enemy can be considered as a person or testing circumstances. When you find yourself in conflict with someone or being tried by a situation, angel number 17 tells you you will overcome.
Just hang in there. Rest if your need to. Let the negativity go and look forward to the victory.
Why do I keep seeing 17? Five hidden meanings
There are some very specific reasons why you might be stumbling upon this special number.
Here are 5 little known reasons you see angel number 17:
1) You should be more optimistic and confident
Your angels are trying to let you know that you can be more optimistic and confident about your life!
Angel number 17 is essentially letting you know that you can ease up a bit.
How are you feeling about your life at the moment? Are you happy? Fulfilled? Following a path that brings you joy?
To get where you are today, you probably went through a lot, and that’s admirable.
Your angels are recognizing your hard work and they want you to know that you deserve to be happy.
2) You are following your purpose
Angel number 17 is your reward for doing what you love – and following your purpose.
You’re full of passion and joy because you’re actually doing what you’re destined to do.
Finding your purpose is not always an easy task. Your angels are proud of you for pushing through the rough times. So don’t be surprised come out the other side stronger and more determined than ever before.
This does not mean it’s time to quit working hard now, if anything, it’s the opposite.
You know you’re doing what you’re meant to be doing, so give it your all!
3) Success is on its way to you
Cheer up! You’re seeing angel number 17 because things are about to take a massive turn for the better.
That’s because the combination of the numbers 1 and 7 indicates unbelievable potential.
Success is around the corner and everything you’ve worked so hard for will come your way soon.
4) Don’t give up on what you love
This ties in with the previous point.
Things might have been harder than expected lately, but angel number 17 is a message from your angels to not give up.
It doesn’t matter what you’ve been working on, whether it’s something career-related, a personal goal, a relationship – the universe suggests that it is not time to quit right now.
5) Nurture your inner peace
Angel number 17 is also a sign to focus on yourself for a while and nurture your inner peace.
External goals and validation only get us so far. Of course, it’s great to have a good career, a beautiful family, and overall success, but without the inner work, all of that is worthless.
There is a reason so many people who we believe “have it all” (actors, musicians, celebrities,…) are deeply unhappy at their cores and admit how depressed they’ve been for years already.
That’s because true happiness and inner peace are not achieved by money, relationships, a nice house, or the fastest car.
While reaching your own goals, you might have stumbled upon this truth already.
The simple truth is your angels want you to be happy, and so they’re sending you a message to nurture your inner peace more.
What does angel number 17 mean for manifestation?
Do you sometimes wonder if you’re on the right life path?
Seeing angel number 17 is confirmation from your angels and guides that you’re heading in the right direction. Keep trusting and move forward.
Angel number 17 is a way of your angels telling you that they are there with you. They are guiding you. Just stay open to your intuition and act on it. When you do so you will find your dreams and desires being fulfilled. Those things you have put your faith and energy into will come to pass.
As you receive the manifestation of your desires, show gratitude. Angel number 17 is a reminder that we need to be thankful. Display gratitude towards your angels, guides, and the universe for the manifestation.
What happens if you ignore angel number 17?
Nothing bad, really.
But would you leave this to chance?
Wouldn’t it be nice if something good happens in your life?
At the end of the day, this number is a way for your angel to offer their support and encouragement.
Your fate will always lie in your hands – though it wouldn’t hurt to follow your angel’s messages at all!
Why is 17 a special angel number?
Angel number 17 is all about success. Also, as we mentioned earlier it indicates overcoming and victory.
Seeing this amazing number is a reminder. It tells you to keep up the effort you have made. At times you may be wondering if your time and energy are being wasted. Angel number 17 says that you will get the success you have been striving for.
When you get that breakthrough, it’s going to be astounding. So, if you see angel number 17, your angels and guides are telling you: “Keep going. Keep trusting.”
However, be thankful and remain humble when you get the victory. Arrogance can quickly turn things around. This is the divine’s way of keeping you in check.
