How To Interpret Signs From Spirit Guides
Updated 2025.05.02
Asking Spirit Guides for signs? You may already be getting Spirit Guide communication signs, and the next question is, how do you know where they apply and what they mean. In this post, we're going to discuss -
I know how mystifying it is to receive messages from Spirit, but do not know what or where they apply until a couple of days later.
This has happened to me many times, but over the years, I've come to find there are ways to improve your ability to get and understand messages from Spirit Guides.
Have you ever felt like the signs your Spirit Guides are sending you are elusive or vague?
Spirit Guides often send us signs of their presence and to let us know they are aware of what is going on in our lives - both as a way to show support and as a method of preparing us for future messages.
A Spirit Guides' goal is to guide us, so they will often also share just a hint of what is coming around the bend in the near or distant.
When we are better prepared for what is to come, we usually feel a greater sense of security, and it helps us build faith in our Spirit Team. This helps us take steps forward in our lives with a little more confidence.
So Spirit Guides send us alerts of upcoming events or changes and they walk us through these changes, many of which are for our greatest good.
They will often send us signs of changes head through visions, physical signs, such as numbers, or even by pulling things into our energy field.
By helping us become aware of the non-physical, we have better acceptance and patience for how it plays out in the third-dimensional plane.
Spirit Guides are sending us signs, messages, and signals, all the time, yes, so how do you make better use of these messages and know what they mean?
Below, we're to go over four ways you can decipher messages for a better, more streamlined communication process with your Spirit Team.
4 Tips To Decipher Messages From Spirit Guides
#1 Ask For Clarification Through Another Sign
If you feel like your Spirit Guide is sending you a sign, or trying to get a message to you, ask them to show you again to be clear.
Most guide messages come through the clair-senses, so ask for clarification through another one of those senses or with a tangible physical sign - a painting falling off a wall, a loud knock or something else that’s glaringly obvious.
Ask for another word, symbol, or even sign that will further point to what they are trying to show you. Whatever it is, to be sure, follow it up by asking for a word or a feeling to go along with it.
Usually, I ask for clarification of Spirit Guide messages come in within the day and sometimes they arrive within minutes from when you ask.
#2 Agree On Symbols And Clues
Think of something that stands out to you, when you see it, you always notice. It can be a specific piece of art, a flash of light, a particular symbol, an animal sign, a flower, number sequence, or song.
Think of times you've received synchronized signs, such as number signs, right as you are making life changes. If you liked that method of confirmation, ask for it again.
Then when you get the symbol, take it as confirmation and take a moment to tune in for more information.
A shared symbol or sign, also called a calling card, from your Spirit Guides, can be received in meditation. This symbol helps you know when the messages you get are from your Guides, versus other forces.
#3 Distill Your Energy Field
Clear away the clutter in your energy field. Clearing your physical clutter helps calm the Spirit and the soul, as can clearing away the digital clutter or energy clutter.
One of the biggest distractions to receiving incoming spirit messages is having an energy field that is full of too many things, clouding up the aura, so you can’t perceive new things when they arrive.
With a clearer auric field, it's easier to sense what is coming in, as there's less of an energy scramble. Meaning, income receptions are sharper.
If it's unnecessary, let it go or, at least, give it a boundary.
The more you can let go of things that dampen your aura, the more quickly you can connect to the high vibrations of Spirit, and the message becomes more apparent.
#4 Invite Someone Else In On The Interpretation
The best way to get an objective opinion is to ask an unbiased source - someone outside of your energy field.
You want to choose someone who tends toward optimism and positive thinking.
Spirit Guide messages are almost always tending towards truth, hope, and greater joy, so when you share any cues you get, try to focus on someone who brings this out of you. Layout for this person what you think are signs and symbols and markers and then ask what they think about it.
Without another person present, use a deck of cards, ideally a deck with a positive leaning slant.
So to recap, to better understand Spirit Guide messages:
Ask for a second sign
Decide on a shared symbol/sign
Clear your energy field
Bring in an external source for help if needed
Interpreting messages from guides can be challenging at first, but with a few tweaks, the messages do get clearer. Usually, they are physically validated within a matter of days, often sooner than that.
