Right to profit, left to losses? What does itching in the hands really mean

Folk omens about why the right or left hand itches have been known for a long time. Our ancestors believed that itching in the palms is not accidental and is connected with upcoming events. Most often, it was interpreted as a sign of financial changes, meetings, or new acquaintances.

Left palm – to money

Itching in the left hand is traditionally associated with upcoming profits. This can be:

  • a salary increase;
  • a bonus;
  • repayment of an old debt;
  • a win or financial luck.

The stronger the itch, the more significant the amount is considered to be. You can enhance the effect of this omen with a small ritual: take a banknote of the highest denomination in your left hand or touch your right pocket with your left hand — this symbolically attracts money.

Right palm – to meetings and events

Itching in the right hand is more often associated with communication and social events:

  • meetings with old friends;
  • new acquaintances;
  • business negotiations or signing contracts;
  • romantic dates for singles or couples.

Interpretation by days of the week

  • Monday – you will meet an acquaintance.
  • Tuesday – an unexpected meeting with an old friend.
  • Wednesday – a pleasant new acquaintance.
  • Thursday – expect a date.
  • Friday – a romantic meeting.
  • Saturday – you will see your love.
  • Sunday – fate will bring you together with a respected person or a high-ranking official.
