The difference between an itchy right foot and an itchy left foot
It’s funny but an itchy right foot may also carry a different meaning from an itchy left foot. So when your feet itch, also take note if it’s both feet that’s itching, or only a particular side.
Itchy right foot – meaning and superstition
An itchy right foot generally means that you will have a very well thought out, well planned vacation. There are many possible results of this, but for sure, it will be a solid and fun one.
This is already a good omen for your trip. When your right foot itches, it could also be a sign of good luck that will happen to you.
For example, it could mean that you will meet someone important during the trip, someone who will be a big part of your life, or someone who will play a big role in your life and all the good things that will happen to you.
There is also a possibility that you will have a very rich trip – and by that we mean that you will somehow be connected to financial abundance.
It could be that some connections will be established, or you will find a great deal, or you could win some money in some way.
Apart from the literal interpretations, an itchy right foot more often than not will just mean that you will be in for a great adventure – one that will give you memories that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
Keep the excitement up, and let your expectations even be exceeded as you go on your excursion.
You don’t have to be too obsessed with the planning or in making everything perfect – just trust that it will be and you will have the time of your life.
Itchy left foot – Meaning and Superstition
An itchy left foot, on the other hand, could mean something different for you. Compared to an itchy right foot which indicates that everything will go according to plan, an itchy left foot says that things will not go according to plan.
For some, they may interpret this to mean that you will have a trip that will not be happy – however, we’d like to take this sign as an opportunity to see things in a different light.
Yes, an itchy left foot often means in superstition that what you set out to do will not happen in some way, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t have fun. It just means that things will not go according to your expectations.
There may be detours along the way that will cause you to see things that you didn’t really calculate for – but this could even make your trip richer. It all depends on how you see it.
For the sake of superstition that is based on traditional thinking, we can still discuss what an itchy left foot means historically.
One could be that you will lose something during the trip. It could be money, another possession, or an inconsequential thing.
Another would be that you will meet someone who will not be pleasant for you or your companions. There is also a possibility that someone will get sick during your trip.
These may all sound so inconvenient, but when your left foot itches, just do your best to not give it any meaning.
This may sound funny but it’s just so you don’t have to think about the negative possibilities and so won’t have to worry about them happening.
Often, it is your disposition that will spell out all the things that will manifest for you when you take a trip.

It could be that you will meet someone that will change your life forever in this place. You could also experience something you’ve never experienced before, and the memory will be very vivid and important to you.
