Was that Itch a Good Omen or a Bad One?

In many cultures, itch in various body parts are seen as good and bad omens respectively. If you find yourself tingling to scratch and cannot find a physical reason for the itch, it might just be an omen.

Let’s see what an itch in different body parts interpreted as:



Head/Scalp: Promotion at Work
Left Cheek/Ear:  People are saying Rude or Mean things about you
Right Cheek/Ear: Someone is saying Good things about you
Left Eye/Eyebrow: Disappointment is on its way
Right Eye/Eyebrow: Meeting with an Old Friend
Nostrils: You will soon encounter Bad Luck or Grief
Nose (outside): You are Confused, or will soon Kiss a Fool
Mouth or Lips: Insults are on their way
Neck: You or someone in your family will soon fall ill
Back/Spine: Disappointment again
Left Shoulder: Unhappiness for You
Right Shoulder: You will soon receive Inheritance
Left Elbow: News about Loss and Grief
Right Elbow: Good and Exciting News
Left Palm: Expenditure or Loss of Wealth
Right Palm: Income or Gaining Wealth
Stomach: Invitation for the Party or Lunch!
Loins: Patch up after an Argument


Thighs: Change of House or Place
Shins: Unpleasant Surprise
Left Knee: Gossip about you is going on, or Bad Luck
Right Knee: Good News is on its way, or Happy Journey
Ankles: Marriage or Increase in Wealth
Left Foot: Journey with an Unsuccessful Outcome
Right Foot: Profitable and Good Journey

In most cultures, an itch on the left part of your body indicates a bad omen while an itch on the right part of the body is considered a good omen. So they say, don’t scratch on the right or you will miss out on the good luck. But if you are itchy often, check with your dermatologist.

However, Hindus believe that right side of a man and left side of a woman means good luck.
