Even an innocent walk along a city sidewalk lined with paving stones or old asphalt can end disastrously for the average person. You can get caught in a pothole or crack in the path, trip and fall to the ground. Not only is this incident in itself extremely unpleasant and threatens to cause painful bruises, but it also sometimes looks comical from the outside and is interpreted differently from the point of view of folk superstitions.
You can trip on both feet or on one of them. And every movement has its own specific meaning. Let's break it down with all sorts of stumbles.
Why trip on your right foot?
The right side is traditionally considered correct and truthful. Adherents of many religions are sure that the guardian angel is located on the right shoulder. Therefore, stumbling on the right foot means that bad events await the person. There are two signs:
- Stumble on your right foot out of the blue - expect problems in all areas. Evil spirits thus send obstacles in business. To neutralize the omen, our ancestors believed that it was necessary to cross ourselves.
- A stumble is sent by a guardian angel to warn a person about the error of his action or action.
Thus, he wants to stop you and prevent you from making a mistake that could cause trouble.
If you dream
What does a dream in which you stumble mean? Overall, nothing catastrophic, but worth paying attention to. If only because in a dream our subconscious sends us images and signs about what worries us in reality, even if we have not yet managed to formulate this concern into a specific thought.
Think about your life path: is it time to make changes to it?
Different dream books interpret stumbling differently:
- as a sign of a major quarrel due to your fault, after which you will have to ask for forgiveness from the offended person;
- a hint of the possibility of mistakes in business;
- even a warning about possible troubles with the law.
To put it simply, such a dream warns: you are not taking matters seriously enough and may soon “stumble” in reality. Analyze all areas of your life to figure out which one you've been neglecting lately.
And urgently start putting it in order.
But if in a dream you see another person falling, this means that he is the one who is acting frivolously. But you, on the contrary, have every chance to succeed by catching a lucky opportunity in time.
Sign of tripping on the left foot
Our ancestors correlated the left side of the body with evil spirits. It was believed that the devil sits on the left shoulder and incites a person to do bad things. Therefore, when going to important negotiations or a fateful meeting, you should always leave the house on the right foot, so that the angel is in front and helps in solving problems.
If you tripped on your left foot, the sign may mean the following events in life:
- Stumbling over the threshold with your left foot means you can’t start grandiose things on this day. They will end in bad results.
- Stumbling in front of the house is a sign of the arrival of long-awaited guests.
- Stumbling in a cemetery - deceased relatives ask you to pray for them.
- This happened at a crossroads - a sign that damage or the evil eye has been cast on you.
Other characteristic signs
Sometimes what matters is not which leg failed, but where and how it happened. In the collection of popular beliefs there is a whole bunch of different signs for a variety of cases, as well as useful tips on how to neutralize these same signs.
- If you stumble over the threshold, there will be no luck in the business for which you leave the house.
Come back and smile broadly at your reflection in the mirror. It makes sense to follow the sign, even if you are not superstitious: the mirror will return your smile, giving you a positive attitude, and you will once again be convinced that you look great and will feel more confident.
- If you stumbled into a cemetery, your life is in direct danger.
Let's be honest: do you remember all your stumbles? Surely not. And this would hardly be remembered in your memory if it were not for the corresponding atmosphere of the place. Try to simply forget about the incident that embarrassed you, occupying your thoughts with something positive. Or try this method: leave without looking back, and before returning to the house, go into some utility room, store or empty entrance.
- I tripped in the middle of the road and stepped on the witch’s path.
Urgently turn the back of your head forward and take a step back so that the harmful young lady on the broom cannot figure out which way to look for you. True, there is a great chance of being considered an eccentric in the eyes of others, but then decide for yourself who you fear more.
Many people believe in omens and therefore, when they stumble, they also attach significance to it. This happens especially often if a person stumbles out of the blue, without any flaws under his feet. Then many people ask: “What happened?” After all, without stones, holes, etc. underfoot, a person cannot simply stumble. Maybe this is a sign? Stumbling on your left foot - what does it mean? Let's find out.
What does the sign mean - to fall when tripping?
It happens that a person not only stumbles, but also falls. There are also signs about this:
- There will be trouble if you fall on the right side. Close friends or relatives will provide assistance in solving problems that arise.
- Fall on the left side - expect the unexpected. Good or bad, the folk sign is silent.
In any case, falling while tripping means that a dark streak will come in life.
How did scientists justify this?
We know a popular saying: tripping on your left foot means good luck is just around the corner. How do scientists look at this situation? Let's talk about this. Many scientists and doctors also have their own version of why a person can stumble out of the blue.
It turns out that this is based on ordinary physiological reasons. The cerebral hemispheres are responsible for the process of movement. If the brain is more developed, then the left leg will bend. If left, then, accordingly, right. This is physiology, and your gender, date of birth, etc. are completely unimportant.
If a person stumbles and believes that something bad will happen to him, then he needs to go home and look at himself in the mirror. Thus, supposedly neutralization occurs.
Naturally, each person decides for himself what to believe. Many people do not believe that the sign will work: tripping on your left foot means good luck. However, in fact, if you believe in everything they say, trust the beliefs that exist, then you don’t have to leave the house at all. Having seen some sign, the subconscious of a believer automatically says that something bad is about to happen to him or, conversely, too good. A person begins to think only about this. Most often this happens, because many people know that thoughts are material.
Signs in the modern world play the same important role as they played centuries ago. Interpretations of various kinds of events, tested over such a period of time, no longer raise doubts about their veracity.
If a black cat crossed the road, then not everyone will dare to continue their journey along the same trajectory, but if salt spilled, then everyone knows that a quarrel should be expected. If you stumbled out of the blue, then do not rush to chalk this incident up to your own clumsiness; you are faced with another sign.
Other circumstances and their interpretations
As our ancestors believed, the conditions under which the tripping occurred are of great importance for solving the sign:
- Stumbling over the threshold of your own home when going out on business is a sign of unsuccessful resolution of the problem. To prevent this sign from coming true, you need to go back into the house and look in any mirror. This way the negative influence is neutralized.
- Stumble while walking along the road. The number of the day on which this happened must be added to your birthday. The result is an even number - good luck; an odd number - problems may await you that day.
- Stuttering before concluding an important deal or a big contract is a sign of further problems in business.
To neutralize, read a prayer, for example, “Our Father.”
Stumbling Point
Where exactly you stumbled is important for solving signs, especially if this place is unusual:
- Stumbling in church means that a person is burdened with sins, which his guardian angel asks him to get rid of. In some countries, this means that there is an evil spirit in the room, and an angel warns of danger.
- Stumbling at your own wedding is a sign that you will live a long and happy life with your soulmate.
- This happened at a funeral - expect trouble.
- If you stumble in someone else’s house, you will soon return there.
- Stumbling at a holiday means that false rumors are being spread about you.
- If you stumble while getting into or out of a vehicle, troubles await you along the way.
- Climbing the stairs and tripping is a sign of meeting a friend soon. Going down and tripping means trouble ahead.
- Stumbling in a cemetery is a very bad omen. The dead man does not let the person go back and wants to take him to the world of the dead. It is necessary to cross yourself and pray, and also order a prayer service for the repose of the souls of all the dead.
How do the days of the week affect the meaning of a sign?
In this interpretation, the leg (left, right) does not matter. Only the day of the week influences the omen:
- Monday - expect troubles at work.
- Tuesday - for a date and love pleasures.
- Wednesday - a meeting with an ill-wisher or a hostile person.
- Thursday - trouble may happen to you or to people from your close circle.
- Friday - an unexpected meeting will take place. It can be either pleasant or not very pleasant.
- Saturday - get stabbed in the back by a loved one or friend.
- Sunday - expect news, not necessarily good.
Stumbling by time of day
For a more accurate interpretation of signs, it is necessary to take into account not only the day, but also the time of day.
Monday:
- Morning - conversation in a raised voice, there may be tears.

Cases when signs don't work
Stumbling should not always be regarded as a warning or sign. It could just be a coincidence:
- The stumble occurred through a ledge or depression in the road. You can ignore this.
- The cause of stumbling may be uncomfortable shoes or high heels for a woman.
Stumbling on a step also has no magical meaning.
The person simply did not calculate the height of the step and the height of the leg. If you stumble out of the blue, this could be a magical sign. All other cases do not matter from the point of view of signs. Optimists interpret any stumble as an increase in profits. If you believe in this, then your thoughts will definitely materialize.
Interpretation of signs - hit your head
Another bad sign is hitting your head. If the event occurred, then you should lean your head against the icon of St. John the Baptist. The miraculous properties of the image will allow you to quickly recover from injury.
A head injury does not always signal a negative sign. You need to pay attention to the conditions under which the impact occurred:
- Accidental injury to any object means liberation from negative energy. This way the victim is cleared of bad thoughts and moves on to a new stage of life;
- Butting heads with another person means you need to “keep your mouth shut.” If such an event happened to you, then this is a sign from above that you talk too much and use foul language.
- Hitting your head on the cross means the child will soon be baptized.
An interesting sign about hitting the head exists among prisoners. If an unmarried convict constantly hits his head on the top bunk, then he will soon be released. For married people, the same sign promises betrayal of a loved one or wife.
In the interpretation of the sign of hitting the head (forehead), there are both positive and negative aspects. If you have concerns about your fate, it is better to turn to healers or purchase protective amulets. You should also pay attention to your actions. Those who say a lot of unnecessary things should change their behavior so as not to incur the wrath of others in the future.
