What are mirror hours?

A mirror hour is a time where the hour and the minutes match, like 10:10 or 21:21. Seeing one without trying is a nudge to stop for a second. Notice what you were thinking or feeling: that thought is usually what the message is about.

Each mirror hour carries the energy of its angel number, so 11:11 shares the message of 1111. At BOTarot we also link each one with a tarot card, which adds another layer to the sign.

Other repeating times

What to do when you see a mirror hour

Pause and take one breath. Notice your thought, and if it was a hope, say it again as a wish. If the same time keeps appearing, jot down what is going on in your life at that hour. Patterns usually show up within a week, and they say more than any single sighting.
