Signs of the universe: how to decipher their secret meaning

Signs give you important information about your current circumstances and your future. They can also reflect where you are in your life right now and reflect your deepest (unconscious) beliefs. Beliefs act like magnets and attract situations and people that match them. Signs can also help you become aware of what you are paying attention to. For example, when you buy a new car and suddenly see that same car popping up everywhere.

Where do signs come from?

Characters can come from many different sources. From the collective unconscious, for example, which contains all the experiences of all human history. Or of the culture or religion you belong to. For example, in some cultures a black cat is a bad omen, while in other cultures it predicts prosperity. Signs can also come from your ancestors or reach you from past lives. And then there are angels, guides and 'the divine', who can give you the most wonderful signs. These signs are not always easy to define with the mind, for they come from an area beyond human consciousness. These signs touch your soul.

Recognize signs

Perhaps even more important than knowing where a sign comes from is understanding how signs can manifest. You usually get a sign visually, but it can also be a smell, sound or touch. Or a hunch, intuitive feeling or a dream. Denise Linn writes, “When you consciously or unconsciously present a question or problem to the universe, people who cross your path often have a sign or a message for you. If you keep this in mind and really listen to the people you meet, you can receive messages of remarkable wisdom and pick up information that can change your life.” there is a sign hidden in it.

Other ways signs can reach you

Casual, random thoughts that linger for a few seconds.

Judgments you make about others. They often tell more about you than about the other person.

When you think you see something out of the corner of your eye or seem to hear something that isn't there. What you thought you perceived often wants to tell you something important.

Songs you sing to yourself (listen carefully to the lyrics!)
To dream

Words you see around you (on T-shirts, posters, magazines, trucks…)

The state of amenities in your home. 

Anything related to water can symbolize your emotions. 

The electricity in your home reflects your life force or personal energy field and the floors represent the foundation of your life.

Diseases and ailments. The message can be simple (take it easy) but also more complex, for example when complaints about your throat tell you that you are afraid to talk about something important.

Accidents. The thoughts you had prior to the accident often carry an important message.
Mistakes, such as when you accidentally miss a turn and there was an accident or congestion on the road you normally take.

Ask for a sign

So you understand that just about every aspect of your life, every object, and every situation can carry a message. Just by becoming aware of this, you may find answers to all sorts of questions. Despite this, there are times when you can't quite pick up on subtle energy flows and small whispers. At these times it can be useful to consciously ask for a sign. This can be done in many ways:

Ask a question and toss a coin. Classic, simple and effective.

Open a book to any page and read the word, sentence or passage that catches your eye.

Choose a specific symbol that is a sign for you, for example a white butterfly. Ask the universe to show you this sign if, for example, you made the right choice.

Look for signs in astrology, tarot or numerology.
