Spiders and omens
For centuries, they have been associated with money and prosperity, with home and everyday life, with family relationships.
Folk signs, beliefs and superstitions about spiders appeared on the basis of constant observations of the behavior of these eight-legged creatures and the determination of the relationship between the appearance of spiders in the house and further events in people's lives.
For centuries, our ancestors observed how these small arthropods behave, collected information about them and drew conclusions about how spiders influence the future and fate. These folk signs and beliefs are still relevant today, because in almost every house or apartment there lives one or more spiders.
Why do spiders appear in a house or apartment?
Spiders are able to penetrate through the smallest crack into any room, so they appear in country houses, in city apartments, in offices, and even in cars.
Our ancestors believed that spiders connect the world of the living with the otherworldly. And, apparently, this is why many people are afraid of these arthropods on a subconscious level. However, if you see a spider, in most cases this is considered a good omen, and therefore you should not be scared when you encounter a spider.
- The most famous sign, which arose many years ago, says that the appearance of a spider in a house or apartment is a sign of money
. This applies to literally everyone in the family, and can be winning the lottery, a raise, receiving a cash reward in the form of a bonus at work, or a prize in a competition. - Since negative energy always accumulates in the corners of the apartment, spiders, like real “guards,” weave a web there that captures this negativity, protecting the house and people from troubles and troubles. That is why spiders have long been considered the guardians of the hearth.
However, the sign is interpreted differently, depending on what time of day this animal is seen. So, for example, seeing a spider in the morning
- a sign of misfortunes and troubles, bad news. This means it’s better not to plan anything for the near future.
If you see a spider in your apartment during the day
, - this is to joy or to great love.
If a spider caught your eye in the evening
, this promises a promotion at work, the implementation of long-standing plans, or an important meeting that will change a lot in life. Sometimes a sign promises the receipt of a gift or letter.
Meeting a spider at night
portends unexpected additional income and hope for a better life.
If you interpret signs about spiders, then you need to pay attention to whether the arthropod is crawling up or down.
- If a spider crawls up the wall in the morning
, it is a sign of good news or joyful events. - When a spider crawls down the wall in the morning
, this is a bad omen, foreshadowing trouble in the near future. - Seeing a spider crawling up a wall during the day
is a sign foreshadowing love. It is possible to meet your soulmate, or improve relationships with loved ones. - A spider that climbs down a wall during the day
is a sign of imminent financial losses. - If a spider crawls up the wall in the evening
, it is a sign that things will “go up”. This portends prosperity and success in professional activities. - Seeing a spider climbing down the wall in the evening
is a sign warning of thoughtless waste, which can lead to financial problems. - If a spider crawls up the wall at night
, the sign suggests that your professional situation will soon improve. - Seeing a spider crawling down the wall at night
means trouble, gossip, and intrigue at work.
Should you believe?
Of course, each of us chooses for himself: to believe in his signs or not.
If the presence of spiders in your apartment causes you negative emotions, you still shouldn’t kill them, it’s better to let them out into the street. At the same time, we should not forget that some spiders are poisonous. The venom of the karakurt spider causes paralysis and death, while the venom of the tarantula causes fever. But most of the spiders living in our neighborhood are harmless. And in order for luck to visit you, you need to make an effort yourself.
Signs about spiders in the house, apartment, kitchen, bathroom, toilet
The interpretation and meaning of signs about spiders also depends on the place where this eight-legged creature was seen.
- A spider sitting on the ceiling
is a sign of all sorts of good things. - Seeing a spider in the corner
means writing. If at the same time there is a cobweb there, this indicates that the news is late. - If a spider unexpectedly falls on the table
, the sign warns of enemies. The larger and more unpleasant-looking the arthropod, the stronger the enemies. - A spider sitting on the door of a house
means guests will soon arrive. If the door frame is covered in cobwebs, the visit will be delayed. The light color of the spider indicates pleasant guests, and the dark color indicates unwanted ones. - Seeing a spider on the threshold of an apartment
means the return of someone, or the appearance of an old friend. - A spider in the kitchen
is a sign of discord in the family. This could be a minor quarrel, a major conflict, or even a divorce (if at the same time a lot of cobwebs are constantly collecting in the kitchen). - A spider in the bathroom
warns of imminent changes in the financial sector. If an eight-legged creature is close to water, then this predicts upcoming financial difficulties. If the spider in the bathroom sits far from the water, this means that soon you will have to solve financial issues and problems that arose through no fault of yours. - A spider sitting in a sink, in a bath or in water
symbolizes vanity, a lot of effort and scanty results. - Seeing a spider in the toilet
is a bad omen, warning that finances are at risk of “flowing away like water.” It may also mean the onset of stagnation in business or relationships. - A spider on the mirror

is a good sign that a pleasant event will happen soon. - If a spider sits on the window
, it means money or news. - Finding a spider in or on a bed
is a sign of receiving news. - When a spider hangs on a web above the bed
, this is a sign of great happiness and good luck. But the sign is true only if the creature is light in color. If it is dark, then this means illness. - In the case when a dark-colored spider hangs over the spouses' bed
, then one must be wary of cooling the relationship between husband and wife, or of betrayal. - Unexpectedly finding a spider in the refrigerator, in food, in a plate or cup

How to get rid of it?
If there are a lot of spiders and their presence is annoying the owners of the living space, it is necessary to get rid of them.
There are several ways to deal with uninvited guests:
- clean the apartment thoroughly . Collect all the cobwebs along with the owners sitting in them (we recommend doing this with a vacuum cleaner). Catch all the spiders you see and destroy them. If you don’t dare kill a living creature, throw them outside, away from the house. Cover all ventilation openings in the room with gauze or fine mesh to prevent furry arthropods from returning;
- we fight reproduction . Soak a rag in the bleach solution and wipe all the corners, floors, bottoms and backs of furniture (they prefer to lay their eggs in these places). You can use chemicals such as Dichlorvos or other modern drugs;
- food deprivation . Before destroying arachnids, get rid of all insects living in the house: cockroaches, flies, bedbugs, etc. As soon as food becomes scarce, spiders will leave your house in search of a more nourishing place;
- repair . If you were planning to renovate the premises, now is the time to do it. Any representatives of the spider tribe cannot tolerate the smell of paint and some building mixtures. A couple of days after the start of repairs, arthropods will run away from the house;
- aromatherapy . The most pleasant method of dealing with unpleasant neighbors. Arthropods do not like strong aromas: eucalyptus, citrus, mint, chestnut. You can use aromatic oils or air fresheners with these scents;
- duct tape . Sticky tapes that are used to get rid of flies are also suitable for arthropods. You need to stick them in corners and behind furniture.
Essential oils and scented candles will help get rid of the spider tribe.
When you have managed to get rid of small animals, you need to prevent their reappearance:
- Clean regularly, paying special attention to corners and spaces under sofas and cabinets;
- drive the first spider you see out of the house, because soon numerous offspring may arise from one guest.
Signs about spiders at work, in the office
If the encounter with a spider took place in the workplace, office or office, then the sign will relate exclusively to the business sphere.
- Crawls nearby - you can expect a letter to arrive or a business meeting to take place.
- If you climb up the wall, you can count on monetary rewards. If an office spider climbs down the wall
, you should expect dissatisfaction and even a reprimand from your superiors, which can lead to deprivation of your bonus or a fine. - If a spider in the office descended to the floor
and immediately ran away, wages may be delayed. - When a spider unexpectedly falls on your desktop
, this is a sign of the appearance of enemies or envious people who will try to cast you in an unfavorable light.
Which houses do arthropods prefer?
Arachnids like dark, damp and cool places. Therefore, in the house they are located under beds and armchairs, behind radiators. Spiders are more likely to live in houses with a crumbling foundation or without one - they are full of insects that live under the floor. Arthropods love houses in which:
- rarely cleaned
- there are hidden and secluded places where garbage and dust accumulate
- a lot of food - midges, flies, mosquitoes and cockroaches live
- cluttered, little sunlight
- there are cracks in the walls, windows and floors
- no mosquito nets on windows
Signs about spiders in the car
- If a spider crawls in a car
, this is a sign of money that will either appear or, on the contrary, go away. Here superstition is interpreted depending on the direction in which the spider moves. If he crawls towards you, you can expect profit. If the spider’s movement is directed in the opposite direction, you should prepare for financial expenses. - If a spider climbs onto a person in a car
, profit is guaranteed. - Finding a cobweb in a car
is a very good omen. In this case, we can assume that the spider took the car, the driver, and passengers under its protection.
Benefit
As mentioned earlier, spiders do virtually no harm. It is, of course, unpleasant to be neighbors with them, but nothing more. There is one positive quality - they hunt other insects.
An adult can eat more than its own weight in food per day. If you have ants, cockroaches or flies in your home, the spider population will grow rapidly until they rid your home of other insects.
Folk signs - a spider on the body. What is this for?
- If a spider falls on your hand
, it is a sign of imminent changes in life. If this event occurs with the right hand, then one can expect profit or increase. A spider that appears on the left hand promises minor financial losses. - A spider falling on your face
is a popular sign of happiness in your personal life. - If a spider fell or went down the web onto your head
, then this foreshadows an unexpected inheritance or other sudden money that will fall out of the blue. - Spider entangled in hair
- to finding true love - If you see a spider on a shoe, on a leg, on a knee
, it means a quick trip.
In general, according to popular wisdom, it is believed that spiders on the body portend a good fate for a person. But for the omen to come true, you cannot kill such a “guest”. As a last resort, the spider should be carefully removed, but it is still better to wait and let it remove itself.
Effect of time of day
In the morning
According to popular belief, meeting a spider in the morning will bring good luck for the whole day. But some people think that if you meet a spider in the morning, then the next day will be unlucky and will bring a lot of problems
During the day
Seeing him during the day promises a new meeting, and love relationships will soon improve. Perhaps you will make peace with a loved one or with distant relatives, and maybe even meet your soul mate.
In the evening
The evening spider will bring good news and good luck the next day. Meeting a spider after lunch means luck and problem solving.
At night
It is a good sign to see a spider at night - it will bring financial and professional success.
