All About Katy Perry's Angel Number 143 and Its Meaning in Numerology

Katy Perry was influenced by angel numbers for her latest album title, 143. 

Similar to zodiac signs in astrology, angel numbers can reveal a lot about ourselves. Derived from numerology, astrologer and bestselling author Lisa Stardust tells PEOPLE they are best described as “a series of numbers that connect us with the divine.” 

“Each number and series of numbers has a significant meaning that evokes our intuition, subconscious, and the spiritual world,” Stardust adds, noting they can appear out of nowhere almost as “special” messages sent to us from beyond.

In Perry’s case, she began to see angel number 143 a few years ago during a difficult time in her life. "We were going through a little bit of a hard time medically in our family, and it was a little bit scary, and I started seeing 143 in many different ways, not just on the phone,” the singer recalled during a conversation with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1.

She added that it inspired her to name her album title 143 as a way to invite her fans "into this kind of love frequency.”

So what exactly is the meaning behind angel number 143 in numerology? Read ahead as Stardust breaks down the significance and how it connects to Perry’s new musical era. 

What does the Angel number 143 mean?

As Stardust explains, each number in the sequence has specific significance in numerology. “Number 1 is about new beginnings and intuition,” Stardust explains. Notably, when the number 1 is repeated, like 111, it “signifies that your guardian angels are looking upon you, ushering you to a place of growth and enlightenment,” with Stardust adding that “the idea has been brought to your attention and you're becoming aware of what you want to attain.” 

“Number 4 depicts our foundation,” Stardust continues. Often when this number is repeated, it signifies a “time of stability and security” that “is marked with success,” she says. “The grounding energy helps us adopt a practical mindset and infuse our lives with clarity, evolution and progress through consistency.”

Finally, “the number 3 represents communication,” Stardust says. A sequence of 3, like 333, “suggests it's time to grow and put your plans into action,” according to Stardust, adding that this can apply to career, finances and relationships.

“Putting it all together shows that number 143 is how one expresses their love and has hopes to manifest more greatness through creative endeavors and relationships,” Stardust says. “Back in the day, people used to send telegrams with the number 143 as shorthand for ‘I love you.’” 

How does the Angel number 143 apply to Katy Perry’s new album? 

During her conversation with Zane Lowe, Perry noted that seeing 143 over and over made her feel like “angels” and “guides” were using the angel number as a way of saying, “I love you. We got you. We're going to protect you. You're exactly where you're meant to be. You're on the path."

She explained that she wanted to convey that message to her fans as she embarked on a new music era, adding that she's "exactly where I'm meant to be at this moment” of her career. 

"I do love the listener, and I want to give them the love that I've received as best as I possibly can and help invite them into this kind of love frequency," she continued.

How does the Angel number 143 affect your daily life?

While the angel number 143 inspired Perry professionally, the number can affect various aspects of your life. 

Love-wise, Stardust says “this number speaks to having a love that transcends time and has the ability to grow.” On a similar note, with relationships, the “number allows us to see that it’s vital to have people in your life that can support us no matter what,” according to Stardust. 

Just as the angel number greatly affected Perry’s career, the number 143 can help us refocus our priorities. Even if someone has “job security,” Stardust says it reminds people “we must love what we do to be happy.” 

What should you do if you keep seeing the Angel number 143?

Stardust says if you see the angel number 143, you should be encouraged to “embrace life.”

“This magical number is a source of all wonderful things in our lives and what we aim to accomplish,” Stardust adds. “In the case of Katy Perry, it shows the love she’s received and giving to others.”
