Don’t assume the worst. Sometimes, bad luck and good luck can come your way at the same time—such as making a new friend after receiving an unexpected bill. One instance of bad luck may not be the whole story. Remember that bad luck is temporary. Whatever happens will pass, and new opportunities will present themselves.
Be careful with your money. Watch your spending habits and avoid buying things you don’t really need. Keep an open mind about your situation by remembering that losing money isn’t always a bad thing. Maybe the loss will go to charity or a cause you believe in. Or maybe the loss will be an opportunity to develop greater financial discipline, which could definitely pay off down the line.
Feeling lucky can drive us to take chances. In 2010, a woman from New York City won $64 million from a lottery ticket she bought after her left palm started itching. [4] X Research source We’re not saying the itch caused her to win, but she was definitely onto something!
If you identify as neither feminine nor masculine—or as both—the meaning of an itchy left or right palm might be less clear.
If someone you haven’t spoken to in ages comes to mind when your left fingers itch, you may want to reach out and reconnect with them.
If you’re already married or have no interest in marriage, an itchy ring finger could mean that someone you know will get married soon. [7] X Research source
If possible, avoid scratching it with your nails. If the itching persists and causes you a lot of discomfort, consult a medical professional. They’ll help you identify and address any underlying health issues.
There are lots of other possible meanings to an itchy right hand. It could signal good—or bad—financial luck, depending on the specific superstition. It could also mean you’re about to meet someone new, or that the time has come to make a difficult decision that could affect your life.
When in doubt, meditate to reflect on your situation. Think about what has changed in your life lately, if anything, and how those changes have brought balance to your life. Understanding these changes empowers you to nurture the positive forces in your life while helping you cope with challenges and stress.
