One of the most common questions I get as someone who communicates with the Universe for a living is “how to tell what signs from the Universe mean.”

It’s a great question because these signs hold so much wisdom and are divinely guided to help you on your journey.

The short answer is that they mean different things for everyone.

You may see a crow and know deep down it was a sign for you, and your friend may see the same crow and not feel anything toward it.

Or, you may Google the spiritual meaning of a crow and think the answer that pops up is what that crow meant for you.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been channeling people, and the message associated with their sign was NOT what came up on Google.

Before we go into how to interpret these signs, let’s first talk about why signs hold different meanings for each person…

It’s because every single soul enters this earth with its own unique purpose and mission.

You are a unique individual. Your mission, your soul purpose, and your journey are completely unique to you. No two are alike. What one sign means to one person means something totally different to another.

This is why it’s sooo important to be able to interpret these signs. Here’s how!

Take Notes

This is where I love the notes app on smartphones!

Next time you see a sign you either asked for or feel like something was a sign for you (maybe it was a song on the radio that resonated with you, you see a random animal and have a gut feeling it holds a meaning for you, etc…), open the notes app.

Jot down:

Where you are at that moment.
What you were thinking about right before you saw the sign. Were you having negative thoughts? Positive thoughts? Can you think of the specific thought?
Could you feel the sign anywhere in your body? For example, you see the crow and get chills down your leg.

Write all this down in as much detail as possible.

As a bonus – write out the date. I love looking back on my journals and seeing how long ago something happened!

Close Your Eyes

As soon as you can after seeing the sign and after you take your notes, close your eyes and do your best to get into a meditative state.

If you’re familiar with meditation and practice a lot, this will likely be pretty easy for you.

But if you’re new to meditating or feeling extra stressed lately, this may be a little tougher, so I invite you to do this:

Close your eyes
Put one hand on your heart and the other on your stomach
Slow your breath down
Inhale on a 2-count breath
Exhale on a 4-count breath

Ask What Your Sign Meant

As you enter that meditative state, ask what the sign meant and (this is the doozy!) have no expectations for an answer.

If it comes, great – if not, great.

Just ask.

If you’ve tried this and nothing is coming through, it’s not that there isn’t an answer. It’s because you’re forcing an answer by expecting something to come through.

Maybe you hope to hear a certain message or REALLY want guidance on a particular topic.

Regardless, it could be your way of controlling the outcome 😉🤪 which is a no-go with the Universe.

Have a Notebook Next to You

Make sure there’s a notebook or your notes app next to you and jot down anything that comes forward.

Any color you see. Anything you feel in your body. Anything you hear, etc.

You can also voice memo yourself if that feels more comfortable!

Connect the Dots

Now it’s time to connect the dots.

Look back at your notes from your pre-meditative state and then compare them to your notes from your meditation session.

Allow yourself to connect the dots. Once you do then BOOM! There is your answer!

All of this comes down to connecting with your intuition and receiving its guidance.

It all gets easier with practice, so give yourself grace as you go through this process.

If It’s Still Very Unclear to You…

Ask the Universe to make the message more obvious to you.

Try this:

“Universe, please make this message more obvious to me. Send me the meaning in my dream.”

This is always a fun exercise to try!
