Well, yes. It’s an angel number.

An angel number is a number that contains a powerful message. It’s sent to you by your guardian angels, your spirit guides, the universe, your intuition, a higher power—however you conceive of it.

You might be working towards a particular goal or hoping for a particular thing to happen, but this number is a reminder that it takes hard work and patience to get to where you want to go. Keep at it—and remember that the journey should be fun, too.

Alternately, you can look at 2121 as two 2s, holding a message of balance and decision-making, and two 1s, carrying a meaning of independence and bravery. Taken together, this number can remind you to be considerate of when you need to work with others and when you need to work alone.
