Signs about spiders have been known to our ancestors since ancient times, because these small animals are constant companions of humans, they can be found in the house, in the forest or in the field, even in a city apartment. Most of the signs were positive, promising happiness and prosperity.

Signs about spiders

But there are some beliefs that foretell trouble for a person who encounters a spider. Much depends on the color of the animal, the direction of movement, and the circumstances of the meeting. There are almost no poisonous spiders living here, so it is rare for one of them to bite someone. So the omens are mostly good.

Spider in a house or apartment

Spiders enter the house from the street both in winter and summer. They are carried through windows with the wind or go down ventilation shafts. They can live in any room. Most often they weave their web in the corners. It is in these places that all the negative energy that has accumulated in the house accumulates. Spiders “eat” it, thereby freeing the home from bad influences.

Many folk superstitions about spiders are related to the place in the apartment where they are found:

• If a spider lives in the bathroom, the sign says: expect stagnation in business, a daily routine that will interfere with the implementation of long-term plans. To neutralize the omen, you need to reconsider your priorities and radically change something in your life. If a spider has settled in the sink or toilet, it means that soon there will be a lot of small things, fuss, and haste that will not bring the desired results. Under no circumstances should he be killed in a bathtub or drowned in water, this is unfortunate. It is best to throw it away carefully with a broom or twig.
• In the bedroom, especially above the marital bed, a spider that appears promises a cooling of feelings between husband and wife. If a spider has woven a web under the bed, the person sleeping on it will soon get sick. If an uninvited guest crawls on your pillow or bed, expect trouble.
• The appearance of a spider in a children's room means that your child is reliably protected from harm and trouble. Under no circumstances should you remove the spider from there. Make sure it doesn't fall into the crib, fall on the baby's head and scare him.
• In the kitchen - it means that the residents of the house lack love, warmth, intimacy, their relationship has gone wrong. If a spider unexpectedly falls on the table during dinner, it warns that the family has a secret enemy or ill-wisher who is weaving intrigues. When an animal runs around the table, a change of housing will soon occur. If you see a spider in a mug, cup or glass, you will receive unexpected news.
• On the door frame is a good omen and portends big profits. If an animal falls on the threshold, someone in the house will get sick or die. You need to quickly sweep it out into the street with a broom so that the unkind prediction does not come true.

In ancient times, spiders were considered brownie dogs. The more there are, the stronger the protection and guardianship of this ancient guardian of the human home. The invasion of eight-legged weavers indicates that there is a good and warm atmosphere in the house, peace and mutual understanding reign. They bring with them success, luck and material well-being. But it’s worth taking a closer look to see if these animals have started due to unsanitary conditions, and whether it’s time to start cleaning and remove the cobwebs from the walls.

What to do with insects

The best option is to carefully catch the arthropod and release it somewhere away from your home. In this case you need to say:

“Let everything good that you brought with you be resurrected, and if anything is bad, let it crack in half!”

If you don’t want to catch a spider, you should just leave it alone, don’t touch it and, of course, don’t kill it. He will leave your house himself without causing any harm to people, or he will settle peacefully in a corner and protect your home from flies, mosquitoes, dust and bad energy.

Spider behavior in the house

It matters not only where the spider lives in the house, but also how it behaves at the moment when you saw it. It falls or rises, sits motionless or weaves a web. Here are some folk signs that are worth paying attention to:

• Seeing a spider crawling towards you means profit. If he runs away, it means he takes the money with him.
• The sign of a spider crawling up the wall foretells that a person will soon hear good news. If it goes down, the news will be bad.
• If the weaver has descended on a web in front of his face, expect guests or news. Just be careful: a hanging spider will bring not very pleasant news to a frightened person. There is another belief that a spider crawling upward on a web foretells good events, and a spider crawling downward foretells bad ones.
• In the evening, small animals hide, which means the next day will be cold, damp and rainy. When they crawl out to hunt at dusk, it means the weather will be good.
• Weaving a web means wealth will come to the house, perhaps a large inheritance, winnings or unexpected big earnings for the person who sees it.

If a spider has settled in an apartment, the sign says that it should not be killed, although many do just that, because people are often afraid of these tiny harmless animals. The only case when you can kill a spider is if it weaves its web on an icon. Then the person will be forgiven 40 sins.

What does a spider symbolize?

Spider is creation. He is capable of weaving not just a web, but the fabric of the world, if you go into mythology. He accompanies the gods as an adviser and assistant. He does what the universe intended. Simply put, the spider symbolizes hard work and creativity. Given its ability to catch insects in woven nets, these arthropods were credited with the title of guardian of the hearth, savior. All kinds of amulets and talismans with his image represent strong protection against other people's interference in life. Therefore, when wondering whether spiders in the house are good or bad, you can rest assured that this is often a good thing.

Spider on the window, outside the window or on the windowsill

Often small spiders weave their webs on a window or windowsill. Many folk signs are also associated with this. If you are alone and a spider has settled in your apartment on a window or on a glass balcony, look at which corner it has built its web. Each of them is responsible for one or another side of the world:

• Top right is east.
• The top left is north.
• Bottom right is the hot south.
• Bottom left is west.

Why know this? On which side the spider settled, the betrothed or betrothed will come from there. It's sad when the web is in the center. You will have to wait for fate for at least a year.

When an eight-legged guest takes up residence on the inside of the window, soon there will be good guests at home with expensive gifts. You will have a great time with them, communicate, but it will be a little sad to say goodbye. A spider outside the window, on the contrary, portends separation. If the spider is light, the separation will be short-lived; a dark one foreshadows a bitter separation and a long absence of a loved one.

Why see a lot of spiders?

If you happen to see a lot of spiders, this means that either an addition to your family or some unexpected profit awaits you. Luck is on your side, bring everything you have in mind to life as soon as possible.

What size is the spider?

The size of the spider also affects the meaning of the sign.

• If this is a large representative of arthropods, then the prediction can be significant: big profits or, conversely, big troubles, a grandiose event or bad news on a large scale.
• If the spider you see is small, then the meaning of the sign will indicate minor successes or failures.

Other places in the house

There is a spider in the house and the sign about it is connected not only with the room. The specific place where he was seen also matters.

On the ceiling

A spider on the ceiling is a fairly common occurrence, because it is so convenient to catch flies here, there is no risk of someone stepping on it. Signs and beliefs depend on what he does and where exactly on the ceiling he sits:

• Sitting peacefully without moving - expect a letter or good news from someone.
• If you saw how the net is being weaved, it means that harmony and happiness will reign in the house. Folk signs about house spiders claim that they trap good luck and happiness in their webs and do not let them out of human homes.
• When you see a spider at work, be sure to make a wish. If it creeps up, then the wish will come true, downward - not.
• If it falls from the ceiling before your eyes, it means that something pleasant and good will happen in life.

To ward off a bad omen, you need to say: “Mind me.” Then all the evil will go away, the situation may change radically and nothing irreparable will happen.

On the floor or on the wall

When a small fly catcher crawls along the floor, it is important to look at the direction of its movements. Running towards you means bringing success in business closer; expect losses from you, both moral and material. You also need to keep an eye on the spider on the wall. Here is how the signs evaluate his behavior:

• You are standing near a wall, and a spider crawls towards you - it means it will bring you luck, and it will take luck away from you.
• If it goes up, it means money will appear soon; if it goes down, expect material losses.
• Hidden in a hole or ventilation - something is wrong in your house, there is too much negative energy, you can’t hope for success in business.

When two people see a spider on the wall, they can compete. You need to stand on opposite sides of him, to whom he crawls, luck will smile on him.

How to dispel a negative interpretation

If the behavior of an insect predicts trouble, you need to protect your home from sad consequences. To do this, take church candles and light them in the place where the spider was found. It is also recommended to read the “Our Father” three times.

You can sprinkle the house with holy water, paying special attention to the area where the insect “predicted” trouble. In this case, it is advisable to read a prayer.

In order not to encounter a bad prediction, you need to be friendly towards the fly exterminator. The person who helps the arthropod get out will be rewarded with monetary luck.

Killing a spider in fright is a good sign; killing it intentionally is a bad omen. If a person destroys a small predator, he will provoke quarrels and conflicts in his family. Only the correct reaction to an unexpected guest will help you avoid troubles in the future.

Spider color and size

We talked about places in the house where you can meet a fly hunter. But its appearance also matters, primarily color and size. This is what spiders of different shades promise:

• Black promises failure, quarrels, separation from loved ones. You will have financial difficulties, unexpected expenses and problems. But a black spider and a sign about it are not always misfortune. If he crawls towards you, it means he is carrying good fortune and luck. The brown spider has approximately the same meaning. But its negative influence is weaker than that of black.
• White promises good luck in love and a romantic meeting. Even in cases where behavior and location promise trouble, they will be uncomplicated and quickly resolved.
• Yellow, like gray, means an imminent separation from a loved one or a quarrel with a loved one.
• Red or red - to big money. Some people advise putting it in your pocket or wallet, then any transaction will be successful.
• Green - good news, although there may be profit.

The size of the spider is quite easy to decipher. There is a big cross on the way, which means there will be great success or failure. Seeing a small spider means minor troubles or minor successes. If a spider crawls towards you, it will bring good luck, regardless of color. The one who runs away is always a misfortune.

Big or small

The spider itself speaks of monetary profit. The larger it is, the greater the income will be. It can be:

• inheritance;
• monetary reward;
• winning the lottery;
• salary increase or bonus transfer.

A small hairy leg promises a small income or a pleasant purchase.

The size of the insect indicates the severity and significance of the trouble.

The belief also has a negative interpretation. Meeting a large black or red spider means a serious illness. Some believe this is a sign of approaching death.

Times of Day

It matters not only the place where you saw the fly hunter, his behavior, color and size, but also the time. You can see the spider during the day, in the evening and even at night. Here's what the signs say about this:

• In the morning - it does not bode well; the day can be written off as scrap.
• First half of the day - minor troubles await you.
• Second half of the day - perhaps you will meet your destiny, look around carefully.
• Seeing a spider in the evening is a sign that great luck will come soon, you will receive a win, a gift, unexpected big earnings. For some people, such a meeting simply gives hope and improves their mood.
• At night or before going to bed over the bed - it’s time to get ready for troubles in the morning, fruitless running around the whole next day.

Signs about spiders may differ in different countries. For example, Italians believe that a spinner encountered in the evening only foretells good weather the next day. The French have a positive attitude towards meeting a spider in the morning and consider it a postman bringing good news.

Seeing a spider: a sign of good or bad luck?

A spider can be found anywhere: at home, on the street, at work, in the car. You shouldn’t be afraid of it, because beliefs say that most often this is a good sign.

If you see a spider, under no circumstances should you kill it, so as not to incur trouble and trouble.

To correctly interpret a sign, you need to pay attention to many nuances: the spider’s behavior, direction of movement, meeting place, color, size and even time of day.

Before you start talking about what sign of fate the spider brought you, evaluate all these points, and then draw a conclusion. Let's figure out in which cases the signs have a favorable outcome, and in which not so much.

Other signs

There are other signs about spiders. After all, animals can be found not only in the house, but also on the street or at work. Here are some beliefs associated with it.

Job

If you meet this spinner in the office, expect success at work or a bonus. But only if he crawls up the wall or towards you. When a spider runs away from you across the floor, your salary will be delayed or you will face a reprimand from your superiors. When a spider falls on your desktop, it means that someone in the team is plotting against you.

Car

A spider can crawl into a car, because it is warm and cozy there, almost like in a house. What does it mean to find an animal in your personal vehicle? Here are the explanations:

• On the dashboard or the seat next to the driver - profit or loss, depending on which direction the spider crawls.
• If the spider in the car is small, then the income will be scanty. When it is big, and the amount awaits is impressive.
• If an uninvited passenger gets on top of you, financial profit is guaranteed and will be considerable.
• If you have made a web in the car over the driver’s head, it means that you are under special protection (or you haven’t cleaned up the car for a long time).

It doesn't matter what kind of car you have. The main thing is that the spider is not black. Then luck may turn away from you. It is important that it does not fall on your head while driving; unexpectedness can cause you to lose control of the car on the road.

Street

What do folk signs say when you see a spider on the street, what do they portend? Here are some interesting beliefs:

• Getting entangled in a web means minor troubles that will “run” around like flies.
• Touching a cobweb with your hand means a pleasant meeting with an old friend.
• If a cobweb clings to your clothes unnoticed, wealth awaits you.
• A flying cobweb caught your face - this means that something very pleasant will happen to you soon.
• If the spider sits in the center of its web, the weather will be clear; if it hides, it means rain.
• Seeing a spider on a bush or in the grass is a sign of a country trip. If it is colorful, it means you are in for a fun picnic.
• When a spider descends from above (for example, from a tree branch) right in front of your face, this is good luck.

The main thing is not to be afraid of him when you see a spinner on the street. Then you can frighten off all the good events that he portends.

On the human body

It often happens that a spider ends up on one or another part of the body. If it goes down on your head and gets tangled in your hair, it means that you will soon receive a gift, you will be rewarded for work done a long time ago. When it crawls along your hand, right or left, it means that money will come to you soon. Even a spider dropped from your hand brings material well-being. If you saw a weaver on clothes, buy yourself something new soon. If a bride accidentally finds a spider on her veil, it means her marriage will be happy.

When the spider is on your foot or shoe, you are in for a journey. Whether it will be light depends on the color. A spider sits on your shoulder or neck - this promises new acquaintances or the arrival of good friends. The spider must be carefully removed from you so that it does not get offended and does not take your luck with it. It will be difficult to catch lost luck. It will turn out like with a broken egg: easy to miss, but difficult to collect.

A dangerous sign is a dead spider; it always promises trouble. You can’t crush him either: he will take your luck with him.

To believe or not in superstitions is a personal matter for everyone. But beliefs appear for a reason; it’s not for nothing that our ancestors came up with so many superstitions. They observed and compared facts. Perhaps there is a rational grain in the beliefs, especially since it is so interesting to find out what will happen to you in the future, and spiders can lift the veil of secrecy. You certainly cannot destroy these innocent creatures, because they bring considerable benefit. If you are afraid of them, just throw them out of the house with a broom. Remember that spiders are wound up for good luck, you should not offend them.

The interpretation will take into account the time of day

Depending on when the “meeting” took place, the interpretation of the signs may change:

• At sunset in the house - good changes in fate, joyful events.
• Climbing up in the evening - things will go uphill. There will be a favorable time and an upsurge in your career. Moving down - be careful with money, there will be an unexpected waste or loss of finances.
• Night - additional income will soon appear or a promotion will occur.
• Morning - the day will turn out great, positive events or receiving money.
• In the morning, moving up the wall - good news will come soon or favorable events will occur.
• In the morning in the web is a wonderful sign. You need to make a wish and not touch the web, then it will quickly come true.
• Day and a spider climbs the wall - a meeting with love that can develop into a happy marriage. The owners of the house will receive good news, their wishes will come true.
• Evening is a boost in all matters, especially in professional activities.
• Morning, a spider crawls along the wall in the kitchen - the arrival of not very welcome guests.
• Getting caught in a spider's web in the morning is not a good sign. Foretells troubles soon. You need to quickly brush off the cobwebs and say: “Forget me!” and spit over your left shoulder three times.

You can't get caught in a spider's web in the morning.

Important! If you notice an arthropod on clothing, you should not allow it to crawl under it. No matter how he moves there, the sign foreshadows negative events: quarrels with family and friends.

See a spider on a web

A spider sitting on a web can predict different events, depending on the place where it sits. For example, if a spider sits outside the window on a web, it means that it has taken your house under its “protection”. He will protect him from external negativity.

If a spider sits on a web indoors, then depending on the room, the value will change. A spider on a cobweb in the bedroom means the spouses have relationship problems, in the bathroom - losses await you, a spider on a cobweb in the hallway - expect guests.

Cobwebs in the corners of the house are a trap for negativity. This is how spiders collect all the negative energy and cleanse the space.

By leg

An arthropod crawling on your legs usually promises pleasant events. But it all depends on the nuances:

• if the spider suddenly fell on the leg - to unexpected profit;
• if the spider is light - to love adventures;
• dark - to betrayal of the other half.

Signs for different legs:

• A spider on the left leg means loss. Especially if it creeps down. The trouble can concern both money and moral losses. You may face both problems at work and a lack of support from people close to you.
• An insect on the right leg means success in all areas, including financial. This can be any event leading to well-being. For example, you may be waiting for a meeting with a person thanks to whom your projects or ideas will develop.

Up the leg

As in the case of the hand, upward movement portends only pleasant things. A spider crawling up your leg can indicate both success and achievement, as well as events that bring pleasure. For example, an interesting trip may await you.

Down the leg

A spider climbing down your leg means that you will soon have a long journey ahead of you. The trip will most likely be due to work related matters. If the insect is running hastily or has fallen off its feet, the business trip will be difficult. A spider crawling down also signals disease.

Fell on my hand

There are situations when, as if out of nowhere, a spider falls on your hand. This is a significant sign that promises unexpected changes in life and a sharp turn of events. To find out whether they will be positive or negative, it is necessary to monitor the further behavior of the insect and which limb it decided to land on:

• on the left hand - to quick unexpected wealth;
• on the right hand - to a pleasant and long-awaited meeting;
• quickly crawled onto clothes - a wardrobe update is coming;
• tries to run away - to good news.

While the spider is crawling along your hand, you need to analyze its size. The larger the insect, the greater the financial profit or the stronger the emotion the person will experience from the meeting. A small and barely noticeable predictor promises small joys.

On a note!

If a spider lands on your hand, this is a good omen, in most cases. You shouldn’t try to drive him away, as this can scare away your luck.

How to protect yourself from negativity

You cannot kill a spider, no matter how much you might want to, even if it predicts something negative. It is necessary to carefully take the guest and take him out of the house, let him out, saying the following: “Go away, take your troubles with you!” Then go around the place where the spider appeared with a lit church candle in its hands.

The furry one is carefully carried out

To neutralize negative signs, the guest needs to be put in a jar, and after some time released on the street. At the same time, you need to say the following words: “Go away, take your sorrows into the night.”

Sometimes the insect climbs onto the same person several times. These actions remind him of upcoming negative events. This should not be allowed. After the first “visit” it is necessary to carry out a general cleaning of the house, removing all the cobwebs and accumulated garbage. In this case, the bad predictor will have nowhere to return and the person will save himself from unpleasant encounters with the disgusting creature.
