How to Ask for Signs (and Actually Receive Them)

I believe we can ask for help and receive it — in ways that are subtle, wild, and uniquely personal.

Some call it divine guidance. Others call it magic, God winks, universal life force, or answered prayer. No matter your language, there’s something deeply comforting about recognizing that you’re not doing life alone.

What counts as a “sign”?

Signs don’t always appear in the way we expect. They can show up as:

  • Repeating numbers (for me, it’s always 24)

  • Rainbows in my car and home

  • An unexpected animal crossing your path on socials, a walk or car

  • A letter, image, or phrase that stands out on a car,

  • Orbs of light in photos, your phone or in a window

  • Lyrics that answer the exact question you were holding

They don’t come from trying to force Clarity. They often arrive when you zone out— while walking, driving, washing dishes, or talking with someone you trust.

But here’s the shift that changed everything for me:

Stop asking: “Am I on the right path?”

That question is too big and vague. It keeps us swirling. The universe — or God, or your higher self — wants to help, but clarity comes faster with specificity.

This is how we strengthen our intuitive muscle. This is how we co-create. Ask for this level of specificity instead:

  1. “If I should attend the conference in May, show me my number (24) today.”

  2. “If I should reconnect with this former colleague, let me see the first letter of their name this weekend.”

  3. “If this offering is aligned, bring me 3 or more blue butterflies today.”

  4. “If I need to rest before launching this idea, show me a stoplight turning red just before I pass.”

No Sign = Still an Answer

If the sign doesn’t show up? That’s your clarity.
No sign = not aligned (at least not yet).

Your guides are listening. Sometimes silence is guidance too.


Acknowledge the Message

When you see the sign, pause. Breathe.
Say thank you. You’re in conversation with something bigger — and you’re being supported.


Stay open, curious, and unattached to how it looks.
Clarity lives in awareness. Let your intuition do the rest.

I looked in many corners and could not find one coach to break into my inner blockages and move my career until Reiki and a Career Coach got me there. We can be all the things to everyone, but first, we must get aligned and intuitively move forward for our own .
