"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?

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?

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.
