Signs about rats depending on the color of the animal
The perception of a rat in the popular consciousness is associated with garbage dumps, dark corners and dirt. Rats are parasites that, in fact, steal food from people, take root in latrines, and threaten the health of residents of nearby premises.
However, the rat itself is a symbol of good health, endurance, adaptability to any conditions, sensitivity, strong intuition, especially regarding benefits and dangers. Therefore, a meeting with a rat can be interpreted in different ways.
From an esoteric point of view, the color of the animal matters:
- If you meet a black rat , a dark period in life may come, mourning, troubles, turmoil.
- Gray rat , as a rule, reminds of small worries and helps to be attentive to little things. Meeting such an animal will force you to pay attention to details so as not to provoke trouble: check whether the lights are turned off before leaving, control your expenses, refuse unprofitable offers. On the other hand, such an event may hint: accept small adversities to avoid major ones.
- A white rat is considered a good sign. It can be a harbinger of a wedding, offspring, receiving cash bonuses, improving living conditions, good meetings, receiving praise.
It is interesting that the attitude towards meeting a rat in reality is also reflected in dreams .
If you dream about animals, usually such a vision warns of the same events as everyday situations with a rodent.
The rat crossed the road
The rodent can be found on the street within the city or countryside. They live not only near garbage dumps, but also near sewers, boiler rooms and other places. If a rat runs across the road, there is a sign that this means trouble, but their “shade” may be different:
- If you meet an animal in a crowded place - hold your bag tightly to yourself, hide your wallet and be careful, there may probably be scammers or thieves nearby.
- The rodent is caught in a quiet and deserted place - delays and difficulties await you, but you have to be patient, everything will soon be resolved, and you will be able to avoid losses.
- A rat at a crossroads is a warning about a difficult choice where you should be careful. Here the symbol can be understood in a nominal way: perhaps there is a traitor, a defector, a grabber in the environment, or perhaps one of the options for the upcoming choice is associated with difficulties, stinginess, dirt. Make decisions carefully.
- If a whole flock of rats crosses the street , conflicts with distant relatives are possible, for which you need to prepare in advance so as not to suffer losses and not wash your dirty linen in public.
Motorists also often take superstitions seriously. It is believed that animals should never be crushed, so as not to cause trouble.
If a rat crosses the driver’s path, it is advisable to take available measures: read a prayer, hang a talisman against accidents, wash your hands with running water, visualizing the removal of the omen’s effect.
How to get rid of negative predictions
In order to avoid the bad omens of an ancient sign, you need to get rid of uninvited guests in the house as quickly as possible. To do this, you can use not only poison and other means of controlling rodents, but also mystical rituals.
- Our ancestors walked around their homes and barns with food, previously illuminated on the bright holiday of Easter. To enhance the effect, they placed Easter egg shells in the corners of the house.
- They also wrote notes to the rodents asking them to leave their home and move to a neighbor. Otherwise, they promised to chop them into pieces.
According to popular superstitions and beliefs, having discovered the dead body of a rat on the threshold of a house, you must urgently give it the flow of water with the words: “Where there is water, there is trouble, where it came from, there it goes, go, look for the owner.” It is better to carry out the ritual away from home. When returning home, it is not recommended to look around or talk to anyone.
The sign of seeing a rat does not bode well for a person. Disease carriers prophesy troubles and sorrows. However, there is no need to be upset. Take note of the warnings of our ancestors and be careful in your actions.
Runs underfoot
A special sign is considered to be cases when a rodent rushes about underfoot . If we are talking about a pet, it can smell negativity from guests, warn about a bad acquaintance, danger.
When a street rat writes figure eights or runs across the road back and forth , you should pay attention to where you are going. Perhaps this is a sign that you should abandon suspicious business cooperation, failed deals, and hold off on risks.
In a broader sense, this is a call to reevaluate your life, whether you are developing correctly, whether your career is developing successfully, whether your family lives in abundance. Maybe now is the time to change something radically.
Anyone who sees rats running from a building should check whether there is a fire, gas leak, or flooding in the building. If rats voluntarily leave your warehouses, barns and other premises, it is too early to rejoice; first you need to make sure that the premises are in order, operational and safe. Be sure to check the wiring, sources of moisture and fire.
Meeting rats on the street
In Slavic and European traditions, rats were considered negative creatures. This was associated with sabotage, the spread of dangerous infections, and the eerie appearance of tailed, red-eyed rodents. Animals were attributed with dark energy and were protected from them not only at the everyday, but also at the magical level.
In the East, on the contrary, animals were given respect. In the Chinese calendar, the Rat is considered a symbol of wealth, ingenuity and hard work, and seeing a rat on the street is a sign of impending opportunity and profit.
If a rat appears under the threshold, either someone is hiding income from you, or negative energy has accumulated in the room and it should be cleaned.
How to Avoid Misfortune
In most cases, negative signs are associated with rats, so many people have a reasonable question: how to turn away the trouble. There are many ways to get rid of negative predictions:
- Erasing the prediction. Write the interpretation of the sign on paper with a pencil. Then take an eraser and, erasing what is written, say three times: “I forbid what was predicted, I do not allow sorrows and misfortunes into my life. Amen".
- Purification with blessed water. Wash the area where you encountered the rat with blessed water. During the ritual, say “Our Father” to yourself three times.
- Anti-sign. Write the omen on a piece of paper and cross it out. Wrap a small pebble in paper and tie it with red thread. Stand on the threshold and throw the package outside.
Rats are by no means the most pleasant neighbors. Rodents are carriers of many diseases. To protect yourself and your family from the undesirable consequences of such a neighborhood, try to get uninvited guests out of the house as soon as possible.
Dead rodent
Seeing a dead animal is not a pleasant experience, so the situation may seem threatening. But various signs indicate that this is not always a bad sign. Sometimes a dead animal on the way can be a symbol of getting rid of “dead weight”, unprofitable burdensome affairs, unnecessary connections.
Sometimes the corpse of a rodent foreshadows financial losses, the collapse of investments, or a threat to well-being. Therefore, pay attention to what you eat, try to get enough sleep, and also avoid fortune tellers, participation in lotteries, equity transactions and other risky enterprises.
Dead rats in the area around your home can be a literal wake-up call:
- Ill-wishers could spill poison, so you need to look after your pets and thoroughly wash your hands and shoes.
- Sorcerers use animals to bring trouble to the “recipient of the gift”, to denigrate.
- If animals die in the area of a barn or sewer, it is necessary to check their contents; it may be necessary to call a sanitary inspector and disinfect water bodies, premises, and ventilation ducts.
If your pet rodent suddenly dies, you can push harder in terms of earning money so that your profits don’t decline or look for new ways to optimize your business.
Rituals for getting rid of rodents
In the old days, a magical ritual was performed to cleanse the home of tailed guests. In order to ensure that the animals were escorted out of the house, the ritual was performed on the day of St. Trophimus, that is, February 14, only by healers. To get rid of rodents, they did the following:
- they took out 1 sheaf from the four sides of the pile;
- 1 spikelet was taken from each sheaf;
- the sheaves were burned in the oven;
- Ashes were sprinkled on the places where the hay was taken from.
During the ritual, the healer must read a spell or Christian prayer.
Signs about a rat in the house
Rats never appear in a home just like that. The animal senses prosperity - and comes to where it is warm and satisfying . If a rat has settled in the house, this may mean stabilization of the financial situation. But the animal, of course, needs to be caught.
They say that if a rodent ran in and immediately left the room on its own , this is a very good sign that difficulties will subside soon and life will get better.
They talk separately about mice. Hearing a squeak in the house or seeing a white miniature “freeloader” is a possible symbol of an approaching wedding or the arrival of a newborn.
Negative interpretations include deep-rooted ideas about diseases brought by pests . If there is a rat, a relative may get sick or die. Esotericists prohibit killing animals - it turns men away from success in business, and prevents women from becoming good housewives.
If rats have depleted their reserves, experts recommend reconsidering your approach to business or taking a time out from your endeavors. Perhaps all the efforts made during the current period were in vain, and we need to wait for a more suitable time for decisive action.
Rat excrement is interpreted ambiguously : on the one hand, it is a direct reference to sewage, and it is worth cleaning the energy of the room, on the other hand, it is a double symbol of income. In any case, traces of the vital activity of dangerous animals must be eliminated at a sanitary level.
Neutralization
To prevent rats from causing harm to the house, either materially or spiritually, they had to be gotten rid of as soon as possible. Moreover, our ancestors did not rely entirely on traps, poison and cats, trying to enhance their effect on a mystical level.
- In order for uninvited guests to get away with all their bad omens, in Rus' houses and barns were walked around with food blessed for Easter, and egg shells were scattered in the corners.
- In Europe, some tricky things happened. There, letters were written to the rodents, either with a kind request to move to the neighbor’s barn, where there is more grain, or with threats to chop the pests into many pieces. Apparently, in ancient times, all rats were taught to read and write.
- The Slavs brought a stone to the hole on a plate, placed it on the ground with a bow and offered their dear neighbors to gnaw on a new treat instead of supplies. How the animals reacted to this proposal remains a mystery.
Finally, if you find an animal carcass planted on your doorstep by an ill-wisher, throw it into a body of flowing water - the ditch will not fit, the toilet will become clogged, so be careful! - and say after: “Where there is water, there is trouble, where it came from, there it goes, go, look for the owner.” After that, turn around and go home without looking back.
Are you not surprised that the same animal causes a shudder of horror in some, while putting others in a good mood? As always, it's a matter of our expectations. You will look at the world positively, your own pet rat will bring a lot of joy, and the street animal will not scare you. If you start expecting troubles, they will appear right there in an instant. So put a smile on your face, broaden your shoulders and move forward - past the rats, to happiness and prosperity!
