What does itchy feet indicate?
Why does the foot itch according to folk superstitions?
When unbearable itching occurs in the area of the feet, the thought involuntarily arises of what this can lead to.
There are many signs that explain why the feet itch, but the interpretation is influenced by which limb itched, left or right, at what time and on what day the discomfort arose.
Right
The interpretation of superstition, why the sole of the right foot itches, in general, has a positive meaning. Possible values:
- You will meet a new person who will change your life.
- Superstition marks the possibility of travel, which will leave a lot of positive impressions.
- A meeting with an old acquaintance is coming, which will end in long conversations.
- Often, itching in the area of the right foot means an improvement in financial situation.
If in a dream you dreamed that your right foot was suffering from a burning sensation, it means serious losses are coming.
Left
Unfortunately, the interpretation of folk signs associated with the left side of the body does not bode well. This is due to the fact that the devil accompanies a person on the left side, who tempts him to commit bad deeds.
Interpretation of the sign:
- A long journey awaits a person, but the reason for which he has to go on a trip will not be joyful.
- Any new endeavor will not be successful.
- The long-awaited trip will be disrupted and the time spent on its preparation will be wasted.
According to legend, if your feet itch, it means a negative event is coming.
Both at the same time
Sometimes an unpleasant sensation occurs in both limbs at the same time.
What do the signs say about this, why does the left and right foot itch:
- Sudden changes are coming that will change life for the better.
- Feelings for your partner may increase, leading to a stronger relationship.
- Success in work, favorable resolution of difficult business negotiations, career advancement.
- Change in the pace of life - boring, same-type days will be replaced by bright and dynamic ones.
If itching in the right and left feet occurs in a pregnant woman, then she should devote time to her health and give preference to passive rest.
A woman's left foot itches
For a woman, an itchy left foot is a sign of trouble. It is believed that she will waste a lot of time in vain. There are several reasons for this:
- unpleasant guests;
- lost papers;
- stuck at work;
- material loss.
Often the left sole itches in married ladies. This indicates a new addition to the family. For young girls, the sign prophesies a meeting with an ex-boyfriend. The old relationship will not be renewed, but the date will be pleasant. If a young lady has a young man, she must be prepared for the fact that he will become interested in someone else.
Depending on the location of the itching
According to the interpretation of the sign, if an unpleasant sensation occurs on the right side of the foot, then it is time to start a new important business or resolve deferred tasks. Superstition promises a quick resolution of all issues, and without much effort.
You should also pay attention to the discomfort you experienced in your dream.
If the area closer to the pads itches, you should wait for a visit from guests. Good news is also likely. Well, if your fingers themselves itch, it means a big holiday is coming, and you won’t be able to do without visiting it.
If discomfort occurs in your left foot, it means there is a long road ahead, full of difficulties. It is also likely that the body needs rest.
When the area near the heel itches unbearably, it is worth reconsidering your own priorities and learning to use time rationally. But when your fingers or the area between them itch, it means there’s a journey ahead.
For athletes, itching in the left foot is regarded as a favorable sign sent from above. There is a high probability that the upcoming competition will end in first place.
Taking a foot bath will help get rid of the unpleasant sensation.
What does itching on both feet mean?
When two legs suddenly itch at once, get ready for a long journey. Perhaps you are about to move, perhaps on a romantic trip, or friends will simply invite you to accompany them on some trip. One thing is clear – you won’t be bored.
There are a great many signs, but it’s up to you to believe in them or not. However, if itching bothers you for a long period of time and is particularly uncomfortable, it is better to see a doctor. In such an outcome, it is unlikely that it is a matter of signs of fate; rather, it is time to take care of your health.

A woman with itchy feet may soon meet her soul mate
Where exactly does your foot itch?
Itching in the left heel warns of useless activities in which you are very passionate. By spending a lot of invaluable time and effort on this, you forget to do really necessary and useful things. Stop wasting your life senselessly, this will not lead you to even the slightest success. All your hopes most likely have no prospects.
An itchy heel can also be a sign of an overnight trip. But in it you will only get tired. Again, a pointless exercise.
When your toes itch, your body wants to tell you about the upcoming trip, which will drain a lot of your moral strength. Be patient, you will definitely need it. External stimuli will affect you for a long time. Although problems will await you at every corner, if you are able to solve them, the result will greatly please you. Don't give up!
The center of the foot itches means waste or loss of funds. The nature of the loss can be very different. You may be robbed or deceived. Or maybe you yourself will become the culprit of the situation by betting on your favorite team to lose. Postpone plans to invest money, even if it is a small amount. You will lose 100% of your funds.
But when the middle of your foot itches on the other side, rumors will start to spread about you. And, as it happens, they are very unpleasant and even angry. Get ready for the fact that they will start throwing mud at you, which will cause your reputation to radically change for the worse. Don't trust people you don't know well in the next couple of weeks. And in life too. It’s better to postpone serious plans for the next 24 hours.
Is the side of your foot itchy? This is just a sign that your efforts are pointless and will be ineffective. Even if you are busy with your immediate work. At the same time, which specific side itches is completely unimportant.
Taking into account the day of the week and time of day
To correctly interpret folk superstition, one should take into account the day of the week when the unpleasant sensation arose. At the same time, it should be noted that if discomfort appears in the right foot, you should wait for the onset of pleasant events, and if in the left, then prepare for the blows of fate.
The interpretation of superstition goes like this:
- If your foot itches on Monday, it means there is an unplanned trip ahead that is associated with bad events.
- Discomfort on Tuesday foreshadows a noisy feast that will not end at all rosy. However, there is one thing - if a girl has an unpleasant feeling in the evening hours, then this week she will probably meet an interesting man.
- On Wednesday, the sign prophesies minor failures that may arise due to the fact that a person with black thoughts has appeared in the environment.
- Itching that occurs on Thursday promises the arrival of uninvited guests. Moreover, these people do not always come with good intentions, so, probably, such a visit is just an excuse to ask a person for a favor.
- An unpleasant feeling that appears on Friday is a sign of loss. A quarrel with a friend or loved one is possible, which will lead to a break in the relationship.
- On Saturday, the sign promises a serious discord with friends. A quarrel can arise over the slightest reason, so on this day it is recommended to limit communication and stay at home.
- On Sunday, the sign of itchy feet foreshadows minor troubles next week, because of which the person will be mentally exhausted.
Girls are more inclined to believe omens, but men are skeptical about them.
Not only the day of the week, but also the time of day affects the reliability of the interpretation of a sign.
So:
- Morning. If your foot itches in the morning, it means that an interesting meeting will happen that day: it could be a date or a business dinner, but certainly with a positive outcome.
- Day. Superstition portends personal failure. It will have an impact on work and income. The person will probably have to put things aside and go on a trip in order to resolve problems.
- Evening. A person may make a mistake, the consequences of which will not take long to arrive. To avoid getting into an unpleasant situation, you should listen to your inner voice.
- Night. If the itching occurs at night, then fate will provide a chance to achieve the desired goal.
In some cases, superstition can even promise a change of place of residence.
If your feet itch, then the sign, as a rule, promises a long journey

Which leg is itching?
Since ancient times, people have believed that the right side of the body is good, and the left is associated with troubles. Even in old Russian fairy tales and epics one could read that Satan himself sits on the shoulder on the left and tempts people to bad thoughts and deeds, and an angel looking from the right shoulder brings light and various blessings.
All superstitions concerning the left arm, leg and any part of the body spoke of negativity and promised problems. Itching of the foot on the right, on the contrary, was associated only with favorable moments. Moreover, this belief applies equally to male and female genders.
Feet may itch due to some event
Right
As soon as your right leg itches, you can get ready to go. Go on a trip or business trip that you never found time for before. This is also a harbinger of pleasant unexpected news. A long trip by train or bus promises to make new friends; for single people it means finding a new partner.
The feeling of a sudden itching of the heel on the right indicates pleasant worries that arise on the road. If this happens during the trip, it means a change for the better. They will be unexpected and definitely pleasant, so this is a good omen.
If the toes of your right foot suddenly begin to itch, then you need to get ready to receive guests. Their visit will be pleasant and useful, and its outcome will be remembered by all participants for a long time. This sign also promises an upcoming interesting party. An excellent mood is guaranteed.
If your entire foot is itchy, this is a sign of great luck. For example, a big win may come your way. According to popular belief, in winter the heel will “wash away” to prolonged frosts, and in summer – to sunless and cool weather.
Important! Sometimes the foot not only itches a lot, but also burns. You shouldn’t be scared right away, because this is just a harbinger of a trip or journey. If the itching continues for a long time, then the coming day will be spent in trouble.
Left
If you feel itching in your leg, then your plans will have to be canceled immediately. They will result in a series of financial losses and collapse. Even a business trip is better to reschedule if possible; it will not be successful, but will bring additional problems in relations with partners. But you can go on vacation, but at the same time completely abandon any worries and not solve any important problems.
If the itching is extensive and affects the entire foot, then a small risk may be justified. The heel on the left will “wash away” not for good - it’s better to give up on business. Sometimes this indicates not only physical, but also mental fatigue. An urgent rest from an overly active life is required.
If the heel is bothering you, then this indicates efforts wasted on unnecessary things. It will not give any benefit either immediately or later. The belief also points to troublemakers masquerading as good friends. They can easily spoil even a hitherto impeccable reputation.
In some cases, folk wisdom gives a positive interpretation of the sign: for men it promises success in their careers, for single women it promises early marriage.
