The meaning of a broken plate in omens

If a plate breaks at home, it’s lucky. This belief came from our ancestors. Therefore, many people still think that any broken dishes will undoubtedly bring joy and prosperity. However, this sign should not be taken unambiguously. It happens that the plates crack on their own. It is worth carefully studying why the dishes break, who exactly broke them and on what day of the week in order to correctly interpret this event. If the forecasts are not very good, there are ways to mitigate them or even change everything for the better.

Good prediction

Most people believe that a broken plate foretells happiness in the future. If there are a lot of fragments, this promises a carefree old age surrounded by loved ones and dear people.

It is believed that when the plate literally slipped out of your hands, it absorbed most of the problems and negativity and thus destroyed it.

For this sign to come true, several conditions must be met.

  • the plate scattered in all directions;
  • The dishes broke not on purpose, but accidentally, for example, while washing.


Opaque dishes break - to success in all endeavors.
If a plate breaks in a house where there are minor financial difficulties, this predicts the appearance of money in the near future. It is also believed that the sound of breaking dishes scares away unclean spirits.

How to properly remove fragments

In order to neutralize the negative effect of popular belief, you need to act quickly, following all the rules.

  1. Remove all fragments as quickly as possible, starting with large and ending with small elements of the dishes. It is not advisable to do this with bare hands. Wear gloves and use a broom and dustpan.
  2. Do not swear at the culprit while cleaning, even if it is yourself. This can ruin your luck and get you into trouble.
  3. Collect the fragments in thick paper or a piece of opaque material.
  4. Throw away the broken plates away from your home. Ideally, they need to be buried in a deserted place with the words: “Bit-and-chop, ground with misfortune, I’ll leave it here, send happiness to the house!”
  5. When returning home, do not look back and do not talk to anyone.
  6. You can use an alternative way to destroy negative impulses. Immerse the fragments in water for three days. At the same time, change the water every 6 hours. After this simple ritual, the remaining plates can be thrown into a regular trash container.

Under no circumstances should you store shards of broken dishes in your house. It is also necessary to get rid of cracked and broken plates. Otherwise, you will open the way into the house for all evil spirits.

Bad Omens

The sign of breaking a plate was also associated with a brownie who is not happy with something at the moment. It was interpreted as follows:

  • If a plate is broken into pieces on Christmas or New Year's Eve, disaster can happen, especially if the pieces are scattered throughout the room.
  • A transparent plate breaks during a family dinner - the emergence of scandals and quarrels.
  • When a bowl of soup or water was broken, you should expect temporary difficulties. It was also believed that the person responsible for the incident would take on someone else's responsibility or problems.
  • When one fragment falls off a plate while washing, financial difficulties or troubles await.

It has also always been considered a bad superstition to store cracked kitchen utensils in the apartment. Such people can attract misfortune to their home.


Eating from a plate with cracks or chips means provoking a split in your life.

You should try to avoid a person whose dishes regularly break, since previously it was believed that he had bad intentions and thoughts.

From love to misfortune - one broken plate

In most cases, after dropping a saucer and accidentally turning it into a pile of shards, you can hear a soothing: “Fortunately!” Is this really so and if not, what should a person whose plate has broken fear, according to the sign? To more accurately explain such an unpleasant situation, let us remember what breaking dishes means in a particular situation.

And in general, dishes in a person’s home can tell a lot about its owner. For example, riddled with cracks and dotted with chips, it indicates isolation and frugality. However, is this beneficial? Interpreters of the signs are sure that this is not always the case:

  • eating and drinking from cracked and “chapped” dishes means inviting disaster not only on yourself, but also on the entire family, which from prosperity will enter poverty and poor health, and this sign has been “tested” by time;
  • It is believed that violation of the integrity of the dishes automatically entails a negative effect on the so-called “subtle bodies”; as a result, tasty and healthy food eaten from cracked dishes will not bring pleasure and will not be healthy.

The phenomenon of a broken saucer itself is often encountered in everyday life. However, it happens that someone literally cannot hold the dishes in their hands. It is believed that the head of such a person is filled with numerous bad thoughts.

Therefore, it is preferable to treat or communicate with him delicately or limit such communication altogether - so as not to take away the negative energy emanating from him. And in general, having witnessed such a phenomenon, you should be wary and be ready to confront the troubles that may be brought into the house.

Signs for men and women

For a girl who is not yet married, breaking a plate always meant a quick romantic acquaintance. The more beautiful the plate was, the more likely it was that the suitor would offer to marry him.

There is a sign: if a married woman breaks a plate, it means you should pay more attention to your spouse and improve your life. This may mean that the husband intends to have a mistress or has already set foot on the path of infidelity. It is especially bad if transparent dishes break - it symbolizes the collapse of the relationship. If you interpret this sign correctly, you can restore warmth and trust in your relationship.

When a young man breaks a plate, soon a new profitable business awaits him, in the process of which he will quickly become friends with the team. A man can get a good profit in the form of a salary increase, an unexpected lottery win, or an inheritance.

When a man’s kitchen utensils are broken, some problems with colleagues await him at work. In this case, it is worth controlling your emotions, which will help you cope with the negativity.


An elderly man accidentally breaking a plate indicates temporary financial difficulties that can happen due to unsuccessful investments, robbery, loss or unplanned purchases.

Cracked, chipped dishes: a sign

  • A cup with a crack means betrayal in the family, or imminent betrayal (betrayal, sex) of one of the spouses, possibly divorce.

Wedding signs

Many people believe that if you deliberately break a plate into many small fragments that scatter in different directions, the spouses will live a long life together without quarrels.

The groom must break a large white dish. This means the end of his bachelor life. Broken fragments must be collected and thrown away as far as possible from the place where the wedding celebration is taking place. The bride can also break a plate, but do it on the threshold of the apartment so that family life proceeds without scandals. And if the dish breaks accidentally, this is interpreted a little differently:

  • When the bride's dishes break, it means that her husband will start going out for walks immediately after the wedding.
  • If the groom accidentally touches the plate and it shatters into many pieces, he will be in trouble at work.

But sometimes it doesn’t bring positive moments. It is quite possible that in this way higher powers are warning you about imminent problems in life. A broken plate has many interpretations. The plate itself breaks if there is negativity.

On what day of the week did you break the plate?

The sign of accidentally broken kitchen items is not always interpreted in the same way. It is important to keep track of what day of the week this happened:

  • On Monday. A broken plate in the morning is a good omen. At work, the whole week will be successful, and comfort and understanding will reign in the family.

From love to misfortune - one broken plate

Do not forget that numerous invited persons are present at a wedding ceremony or other event. A new relationship may begin between them. Here's what the signs say about this:

  • if a person breaks a plate, fate will soon give him a love affair on the most serious level, and it will last throughout his life, and if a person of the opposite sex happens to be nearby, then perhaps this is the object of a future relationship;
  • it is very important how a person feels at the sound of breaking dishes, if he is seized by panic - this is not good, since with his thoughts (they believe that these are material phenomena), their owner can attract what they are filled with;
  • Many interpreters agree that scattered fragments should be collected and, securely packed so that they do not fall out and harm others, and thrown away.

At the same time, eating from a dish that has a crack means inviting cracks in your future life. And if a housewife keeps broken plates in the kitchen, then it is believed that by doing so she attracts misfortune to her home.

As often happens, the same incident often has several interpretations. This case is no exception.

Some say that the plate may crack under the influence of the negativity it has absorbed: it has simply exhausted its absorbing capabilities and in such a simple way warned the owners that it can no longer protect them. In this case, you should get rid of it as soon as possible, since the damaged dishes can no longer contain the accumulated evil and it slowly seeps back.

Others are of the opinion that the crack on the plate is a kind of key for evil entities that are trying to enter your home. And in this situation, it is also better to get rid of the damaged dishes, although for slightly different reasons.

The fact is that the crack is not a portal. It is through it that big trouble will not penetrate. But through such damage to the plates, positive energy leaks out of the house, which is a natural barrier from evil entities. And as soon as this barrier weakens, negativity will enter through the door, and at that moment the owners of the cracked plate will no longer have the strength to resist misfortune.

At a party, unpleasant incidents involving breaking dishes also happen. It is especially inconvenient for the guest when the action turned out to be unplanned. But there are signs here too:

  • A plate was broken into two by a guest at a wedding feast; someone present will soon receive the other half. It is possible that people will meet at this wedding and decide to unite their destinies by marriage.
  • If you came to visit (no longer for a wedding) and you managed to spoil the owner’s property in the form of a dish, cup or plate, this is a bad sign, superstitious people have always believed. By breaking the dishes, the guest takes upon himself some part of all the negativity directed at the hosts’ home or at themselves.
  • However, everything is not so simple. And this same sign is easily interpreted by the hosts of the feast as follows: the guest will bring trouble to this house in the future. The fact that at the moment you have an excellent, warm relationship with him does not at all justify the unfortunate visitor to the feast.
  1. On Monday, the lucky ones break the dish. Even if you are not considered a very lucky person, but managed to break a vessel on the first day of the week, luck will accompany you for all seven days.
  2. Tuesday speaks in two ways: a sign of good news or benefits in trading matters.
  3. Your boss or colleagues will be dissatisfied with you - the dishes hint. The sign: a plate fell and did not break on Wednesday is not terrible, but it cannot be called pleasant either.
  4. Damage to household utensils on Thursday will result in minor unpleasant matters. But in general, nothing serious will happen.
  5. Friday breaking of dishes - your home is hospitable and cozy.
  6. A plate breaks on Saturday - a sign that promises an invasion of visitors to your home and noisy feasts.
  7. On Sunday, clumsiness foreshadows peace and harmony.

On Monday, a broken plate promises success and good luck for the entire coming week. It is important to believe in a favorable outcome of what happened. If you break an element of the service on Sunday, you should expect conflicts among loved ones.

If a plate or glass accidentally breaks, this event can be interpreted in both a good and a negative way.

Signs about washing dirty dishes: interpretation

According to folk superstitions, it is not difficult to understand why the plates are beating. The main thing is to correctly compare additional facts and current circumstances that may have caused this phenomenon. The day of the week when the trouble happened also plays a big role.

How many pieces did the plate break into?

For some, a broken plate is a good omen, while others expect trouble from it. It all depends on how many pieces it was broken into. This sign lends itself to two interpretations:

  • If the dish has scattered into many pieces that you need to look for on the floor, you should prepare for unpleasant news.
  • It's a good sign when an item is broken into two parts. However, if this happens constantly, it indicates tension within the family. Two fragments may also indicate the presence of an envious person in the immediate environment of family members who speaks impartially about the person.

If the dishes accidentally burst on their own

Often no one uses the dishes for a long time and when they take them out, they notice that they have cracked on their own. This happens for a reason. This sign means that a lot of negative thoughts have accumulated around family members. The saucer absorbed all the bad emotions and cracked. When a plate was broken in this way, the house was cleaned, and the owners should maintain a good attitude towards other family members.

If the plate cracks in your hands, you should prepare for serious trials. Financial difficulties, illnesses await, and a dark streak will come in all areas.

It happens that the saucer fell, but miraculously did not break. This sign indicates that the environment in the apartment is safe and calm. But you should also take a close look at your immediate surroundings. Perhaps there is an ill-wisher whom you should beware of.

Blue dishes or with blue flowers: signs

Sign and interpretation:

  • Buying and accepting blue dishes as a gift means good relationships, financial security, and a happy life.
  • Giving blue dishes means building relationships, wishing goodness and a happy life.
  • Having a set in blue or with blue flowers and patterns means prosperity in the house, happy family members.
  • Constantly eating and drinking from dishes with blue flowers means gaining prudence and wisdom. The person will be lucky in personal and material matters.

How to neutralize the effects of bad omens

It is difficult to say exactly why the plates are beating. However, the negative influence of signs and superstitions can be neutralized:

  • If the bride breaks any object and then steps on the largest fragment with the toe of her shoe, it means that her husband will not cheat on her.
  • When dishes break at a wedding celebration, you need to count the number of fragments: even - prosperity and understanding between spouses, odd - an unhappy life. The situation can be corrected if the couple throws away the extra fragment together.
  • Negativity will never enter the apartment when, despite broken dishes, household members remain positive, cheerful and calm.

If kitchen utensils often break in your home, you can try to cleanse your home of negative energy. To do this, you should wash the floors, walls and all furniture with salt water. Salt is the strongest neutralizer of negativity.


You can also walk around the entire apartment with a lit church candle, trying to look into all corners, or sprinkle the premises with holy water.

If the broken plate has been lying in the room or on a shelf for a while, you can perform a short ritual:

  • Collect all the fragments into a dense material.
  • Tie a knot so as not to lose pieces of broken dishes along the way.
  • Take the fragments to a place away from crowded places or throw them in a trash bin located on the street.
  • Leave without looking back.

If a plate breaks at home, you should believe in a positive outcome of the situation. Folk signs only warn about probable events, but whether they come true or not depends on the person himself.

How to react so that there are no consequences?

After you have thrown out the broken dishes, you need to get rid of negative energy : thoroughly clean the entire house and wash the floors with blessed water or go around the rooms with a church candle and prayer.
