Key Meaning of Ladybugs
Your wish comes true.
What is The Spiritual Meaning of Ladybugs?
Ladybugs are a symbol of luck and are a good omen. When a lady bird lands on you, and then flies away again, it means your wish will be granted.
When a Ladybug is Bad Luck: The only exception to this, is if you kill or squash a ladybug. This is a bit like breaking a mirror and attracts bad luck. Fortunately, the ‘bad’ luck associated with ladybirds is much shorter lived, more like a few days or weeks, rather than years.
The Universe is always sending us messages. If an insect tries to get your attention, by turning up at least three times in a short period of time, or by landing on you, then welcome it as an animal guide who has been sent with a message for your attention.
What is the Meaning behind Ladybird Ladybird Fly Away Home?
Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home!
Your house is on fire, your children all gone,
All but one, and her name is Ann,
And she crept under the pudding pan.
You are meant to sing this nursery rhyme when a ladybird lands on you. It is supposed to encourage the insect to fly away and attend to their children, because it is believed that when the bug flies away, your wish will come true.
3 Spiritual Meanings of Ladybugs
Here are the three key symbolic messages of the ladybug:
1. Your Wish Comes True
When a ladybug lands on you, you are supposed to make a wish. When the insect flies away, it is a sign that your wish has been accepted by the spirit world and is in the process of manifesting.
Choose your wish wisely – let it be something that truly advances your life and happiness. It may be true love, better health or a fulfilling job or business, for example. Take a moment to think, before you wish!
2. Spiritual Development
Ladybugs are often found in places, locations and buildings with high spiritual energy. If you discover a congregation of ladybugs, it means you should increase your spiritual or devotional practices. Structure a time each day, or a few times a week to pray or meditate alone. It doesn’t matter how often you do this, just as long as you do it when you say you will. In a way, you are making an ‘appointment’ with Spirit. Don’t forget, they are busy too!
Spiritual gifts associated with the ladybird/ladybug include: automatic writing, divination such as Tarot reading and scrying with a crystal ball; as well as the gift of prophecy and mediumship.
3. Mother Mary
The ladybug is connected with Mother Mary. Whether the bug lands on you, or turns up in your house, it is a sign that the blessed Virgin Mary is with you. In that moment, you are receiving blessings and healing, regardless of your spiritual beliefs.
She often appears to those who are expecting a baby, or dealing with young children. She also protects you if you are going through a love challenge.
And finally, if your mother recently passed, then the ladybug is a sign from your mom in Heaven.
What do Yellow Ladybugs Symbolize?
Whether your ladybug is orange, yellow or red – all of the symbolic messages above apply.
However, if your ladybug is yellow or orange in color, there is one additional message:
Yellow is associated with protection, joy and happiness, the feeling which radiates from your solar plexus chakra. It is a sign that angels are activating your solar plexus, and finding ways to secure your future happiness.
What Does it Mean if The Ladybug is Your Animal Guide?
If a ladybug is shown to you in meditation or your dreams as your spirit animal or animal spirit guide, it means that you have a natural ability to work with the Law of Attraction and manifestation. What you think about the most, you are likely to attract and make real.
When you avoid feeling stressed out, and ease yourself into the natural flow of life, you never need to worry about money, housing, or retirement plans. Or anything else for that matter!
Don’t assume however, that the Law of Attraction should work instantly for you. Like any spiritual gift, you must study, practice and experiment until you have it mastered.
What Does it Mean When You Dream of Ladybugs?
When you dream of ladybugs, it means you have just had a direct communication with the supernatural spiritual world. Perhaps one lands in your hair, for example. This is not a symbolic dream, but a direct mystic experience. The ladybug is a sign that your spiritual abilities are growing in power, so when you wake up, know that you are better able than ever to start manifesting your wishes and goals.
If there was a swarm of ladybugs in your dream, it means that your spiritual talents are unfolding very quickly.
If you dream about killing ladybugs, it is a sign that you are ignoring your abilities, or not applying enough serious time and study to your personal development.
Meanings: Derived from mythology, astrology, dream interpretation, and universal archetypes which have entered the collective unconscious psyche.
