5 Signs You're Waiting for a Sign... Instead of Listening to One

 

Have you ever asked the Universe for a sign...

...only to spend the next three days watching every licence plate, checking the clock every hour, or wondering if that random crow flying overhead was trying to tell you something?

Trust me—you aren't alone.

One of the biggest misconceptions I see is that people believe the Universe only communicates through huge, undeniable moments. They expect fireworks. A booming voice. A flashing neon arrow pointing them toward the "right" decision.

But that's rarely how the Universe works.

One of the biggest messages I share in my book, Talking With The Universe, is this:

You were never disconnected. The Universe has always been speaking to you. Your journey isn't about getting the Universe's attention—it's about learning how to listen.

If you've been asking for signs but feel like you're getting nothing back, here are five reasons you might actually be overlooking the guidance that's already there.

1. You're Expecting Fireworks Instead of Whispers

We tend to think guidance should feel dramatic.

Instead, it often arrives quietly.

A feeling you can't explain.

A conversation that lands at exactly the right moment.

A song lyric that gives you goosebumps.

A sudden sense of peace about a decision.

A thought that keeps returning no matter how many times you try to dismiss it.

The Universe doesn't always shout.

Sometimes it whispers because whispers require us to slow down long enough to hear them.

The quieter you become, the easier those whispers are to recognize.

2. You Keep Asking the Same Question

We've all done it.

"Universe...should I take the new job?"

You get a gut feeling.

Then you ignore it.

The next day...

"Universe...are you sure?"

And then the next day.

Sound familiar?

Often it isn't because the answer hasn't arrived.

It's because we didn't like the answer we received.

Your intuition rarely argues with you.

It doesn't beg.

It doesn't negotiate.

It simply offers a quiet knowing.

When we keep asking the same question over and over again, we're usually searching for permission to ignore what we already know.

Welcome to Ask-hole Territory

Yep...I said it.

Sometimes we become an ask-hole.

An ask-hole is someone who keeps asking the Universe the same question but never trusts—or acts on—the answer they've already received.

It might look like this:

You ask the Universe.

Then you book another reading.

Pull another tarot card.

Ask another friend.

Watch another YouTube video.

Google the meaning of repeating numbers.

Ask for another sign.

Before long, you've asked the same question twenty different ways, secretly hoping the Universe will give you a different answer.

Here's the thing...

The Universe isn't confused. We are.

The Universe doesn't usually repeat itself because it thinks you didn't hear it.

It repeats itself because you're not trusting what you've already heard.

Now, that's different from asking for clarity. Sometimes an answer genuinely isn't clear yet, and there's nothing wrong with reflecting, journaling, meditating, or sitting with it.

But if you're asking the exact same question over and over because you're hoping for a different answer...

You've probably wandered into ask-hole territory.

Instead of asking again, try asking yourself:

"What answer have I already received that I'm afraid to trust?"

That question has the power to change everything.

3. You're Dismissing What Feels Too Ordinary

One of my favourite things to remind clients is this:

The Universe doesn't always communicate through extraordinary events.

More often than not, it speaks through ordinary moments.

The same message showing up in three completely unrelated conversations.

Opening a book to exactly the sentence you needed.

Thinking about someone seconds before they call.

Feeling your entire body relax when considering one option and tense up when considering another.

These moments are easy to dismiss because they don't feel "spiritual enough."

But ordinary doesn't mean insignificant.

In fact, the Universe often chooses everyday life because that's where we're already paying attention.

4. You're Looking Everywhere Except Within Yourself

It's so easy to believe the answer is outside of us.

Another reading.

Another podcast.

Another course.

Another person's opinion.

While spiritual tools are wonderful companions, they were never meant to replace your own inner knowing.

One of the biggest shifts in my own journey happened when I stopped searching for the Universe somewhere "out there."

Instead, I realized the connection had been within me all along.

The guidance wasn't missing.

My awareness was.

When you begin trusting yourself, you'll often discover the answers have been sitting quietly within you the entire time.

5. You're Waiting for Certainty Instead of Guidance

One thing people rarely talk about is that intuition doesn't usually show you the entire staircase.

It simply illuminates the next step.

We often want the Universe to hand us the whole five-year plan before we'll make one small decision.

That's not how intuitive guidance works.

The Universe invites movement.

It invites trust.

One step.

Then another.

Then another.

Clarity often arrives because we started moving—not before.

A Simple Practice to Try Today

Instead of asking:

"Universe, please give me a sign."

Try asking:

"Universe, help me recognize the guidance you're already showing me."

Then let it go.

Go about your day.

Pay attention to your body.

Notice the conversations you have.

Notice what keeps catching your attention.

Notice the feelings that arise when you're faced with different choices.

Don't force anything.

Don't overanalyze everything.

Just notice.

Because the goal isn't to become obsessed with finding signs everywhere.

The goal is to become aware enough that you stop overlooking the ones already finding you.

You don't need to become more connected.

You already are.

Sometimes the greatest shift isn't receiving more signs.

It's finally recognizing the ones that have been there all along.
