"Three encourages you to put energy into your own growth and expansion and your own journey, and where you want to be and where you'd like to be, and then encourages you to dream big," said King. 

If you are seeing lots of repeating threes, it signals to aim high. In doing this, you can allow yourself to potentially reach all your goals.

"If you don't hit it, you'll get closer to it than if you limit yourself," said King. "Try to go as far as you can go and let it become whatever it becomes." 

The angel number 333 encourages to set plans into action and let your personal strength be the guide; to trust yourself and put thought into your choices. This angel number also is connected with optimism, creativity and intuition. 

"It's a really nice reminder that you have influence, that you have agency, that you have power, and whatever you direct your energy, your thoughts, your emotions, your love into is going to grow," said King.

Relationships

When it comes to the angel number 333, the energy of growth also plays a role in relationships, said King. 

Additionally, the optimism associated with three calls to have positive outlook on who is in your life. This angel number is about generosity, and when you infuse this with your relationships, it can be a sign to put further effort into growing your connections. 

"So that your relationships can grow, you can grow, the people you're connected with can grow and everyone grows to be great," said King. "It benefits everyone." 

The angel number 333 is not only about personal growth for your own needs or wants, but about growth to help and assist others and the world around you.

Career

With career and the appearance of the angel number 333, think big and ask for more. "If someone was thinking about a career move and wanting to climb the ladder, hit the top," said King. 

If you've been working really hard and are eyeing a new promotion, put your name in the ring. Or maybe the company you've always dreamed of working for has an opening. Send in your resume and apply because you just may get an interview or the role all together.

"If you aim high, you just never know," said King. "When you collaborate with that expansive growth energy, anything can happen, and anything is possible."

Strengths 

In numerology, the number three is associated with Jupiter, which is considered the planet of good luck and blessings. The appearance of the angel number 333 highlights an energy of good vibes toward your journey. 

If you are feeling restricted in your life and you are seeing a lot of threes, take it as a sign of encouragement, said King. Even if you are not in the best situation at this point in time, the angel number 333 is signaling growth and expansion on the horizon. 

"Do what you can to grow whatever you've got going on, or whatever you'd like to have going on," she said. "Having a bit of faith and having a bit of self belief goes a long way."

Weaknesses 

On the flip side, the optimism associated with the angel number 333 has a tendency to lead to excessiveness, over-extravagance and living beyond you means, said King. 

"That level of optimism can sometimes be an undoing too, if you're going too far," she said. As a result, be wary and mindful of your actions and "take it as a warning to not gamble what you can't afford to lose." 

While the angel number 333 reminds to trust yourself and dream big, there must be a sense of balance. Set boundaries and foundations for yourself when it comes to taking risks. Do not throw complete caution to the wind. 

If you take your angel number as a sign to make a big decision, such as investing or quitting your job, weigh all the implications of this choice. 

"You also have to think 'Can I afford to lose this?' And if the answer is yes, then it's OK to take the risk," said King. "But if the answer is no, then maybe look at growth in a way that is sustainable and not excessive."
