nose symbolism

The nose is the part of the body we depend on for the most basic human survival instinct: breathing. It is the outward representation of primordial survival, for without the nose the rest of the inner body would not receive enough air to support life.

In many religious traditions it is believed that God created man and gave him life by breathing through his nostrils. Therefore, the nose is a crucial part of our existence as a species and also symbolizes our strong connection to God.

According to Christian traditions and beliefs, God not only breathed life through man’s nostrils, but He also bestowed spirit into man’s heart through that single breath. Folklore holds that God gave man the Holy Spirit for guidance, protection, and teaching.

In Chinese tradition and mythology, the nose is central to the ancient practice of face reading. It is linked to a person’s self-esteem and personality, and the shape can also predict social status. While eyes symbolize class, the nose symbolizes wealth. In a good majority of Asian culture, the nose is associated with wealth and professional success. Interestingly, a person with a fleshy nose and upturned wings is said to be lucky.

Now let’s take a look at what it means when your nose itches.

1. Expect a visitor

In many cultures, from the Far East to Native Americans, from the Celts to Arabia, the most common interpretation for an itchy nose is that visitors will visit or introduce themselves to you soon. The visitor can be a human or an angel or a spiritual guide.

Keep your heart and mind open. You never know what the visitor will bring you. That doesn’t mean that you should accept something from the visitor that you don’t want. If you’ve been waiting for company, a persistent itchy nose could be good news as someone will be visiting you soon.

When angels are sent to keep a close eye on you, the first sign of their presence could be an itchy nose. The presence of angels and spirit guides is usually profound, and you can feel an overall sense of well-being and protection when they visit you.

Is the itch on tHe to the left of your nose? Expect a male visitor or stranger to approach you. If you itch the right side of your nose, your visitor will be a woman, or your encounter with a total stranger will be with someone who identifies as a woman.

2. A meaningful gift is coming your way

An itchy nose seems to attract happiness no matter how you look at it. If you have been feeling an itchy nose lately, this is a sign that you are receiving a gift. The gift can be physical or spiritual.

According to Christian folklore, spiritual or Holy Spirit gifts include, among other things, faith, wisdom, discernment, righteousness, healing, and prophecy.

The gift of discernment is strongly connected to the nose. Through the nose we can sniff out something “wrong”. Symbolically, we use phrases like “sniffing out a person” or “smelling a rat” to describe the fact that we use our judgment and intuition to discover the truth about someone or something.

With the gift of discernment, you will be better able to judge people, situations, and places. An itchy nose, for example, signals that visitors are coming soon or that a stranger is approaching you. The gift of discernment will come in handy here as it gives you the ability to determine if a person is good or evil before letting them into your life.

Aside from spiritual gifts, an itchy nose can mean you are about to receive a nice but unexpected gift. Keep an open mind for all good things, including gifts that you might be remotely envious of but can’t afford; The universe has an uncanny way of granting our desires.

3. A reminder to practice gratitude

In the rush of life, it’s easy to forget how precious life is and that it’s a miracle to be alive. We easily forget that breathing is an extraordinary event for which we should be thankful.

Remember, the nose is a symbol of the breath of life. An itch in any part of the nose is reminiscent of the gift of life. Take this opportunity to express your gratitude for being alive, for having your loved ones and for being in good health.

If you’ve taken your health for granted or neglected your well-being, an itchy nose is a reminder that you need to take better care of your body as it is the temple of your divine self.

Have you lost yourself in fear or anxiety? Does your life feel out of balance? Have you neglected your loved ones? It’s time to restore balance to your life and appreciate the people close to you because you never know when they or you will breathe your last.

4. Expect conflict or some form of hostility

According to Irish tradition, an itchy nose can portend a bad omen. If you suffer from an itchy nose, it is a sign that you may be in conflict with someone soon. A quarrel may arise, most likely with a loved one.

Arguments aren’t necessarily bad, but they’re not good to engage in either. The intensity of the itch will tell you how big the fight could be, so it’s up to you to decide what to do next. If you want to avoid confrontation, you can take the signal of an itchy nose as a red flag and work toward shifting your energy.

Any interaction you have could be ripe for conflict, but you have the power to overcome such confrontations and enjoy better outcomes. If you have a habit of yelling and talking about others, an itchy nose also reminds you to lower your voice and control your emotions for better results. You are more likely to handle tense situations successfully if you think clearly and don’t shout at the top of your lungs.

Aside from signaling an imminent conflict, if your nose itches, it means you’ll be called names or scolded. Well, there isn’t much you can do here other than realize that others may not see you positively and may be jealous of you.

An itchy nose could precede great success and fortune, which will likely make others green with envy. Keep doing what you have to do and don’t care about other people’s opinions. You might experience conflict as a result of these events, but you should be ready to defend yourself accordingly.

5. A big event is coming up

Itchy nostrils can be a sign of good luck or bad luck. Either way, expect something big in your life. Depending on your current situation, the big event will either breathe life into you or take your breath away.

Now is the time to work on raising your vibrations and clearing your karma to attract happiness that will take your breath away in a good way. I recommend meditation, visualization and positive affirmations for the universe to send good things to you.

However, sometimes seemingly bad things happen to teach us a positive lesson. An itch in your nostril could mean such an unfolding. While you should be doing your inner work, you also want to learn the art of surrender and allow the universe to work as it knows best. As you anticipate this great event, good or bad, you are called to trust the universe; trust that the universe is always working for you and never against you.
