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.

- Wednesday – a pleasant new acquaintance.
- Thursday – expect a date.
- Friday – a romantic meeting.
- Saturday – you will see your love.
