In the energetic system, the left and right sides of the body perform a different function, so which palm you are experiencing itching in could give you information as to why.

For most people, the left hand is the non-dominant hand, and is the hand that receives energy and surrenders to the flow of the universe. It is the “allowing” hand. If your left hand is itching, it can be a sign that you are receiving gifts from the universe right now.

The left hand is also associated with your intuition and feminine energy. If you feel your left palm itching or tingling, it could be a sign that your intuition is working on overdrive right now and there are many spiritual messages that are coming in.

It may be a good idea to find ways to sit still and tune into that inner wisdom that is speaking right now. Meditation or journaling may open a gateway into receiving those messages or give you clarity as to what they mean.

This is especially true if you have been noticing an increase in signs or synchronicities happening around you, such as seeing a repeated number, hearing ringing in your ears, seeing your spirit animal, etc. It would be a good idea to start connecting these synchronistic signs by keeping a journal.

If there are other parts of your left hand that are itching besides your palm, the chart below can explain what those parts of your hands itching means.

As the left hand is related to receiving energy and feminine energy, the right hand is associated with giving energy and masculine energy. The energy from the right hand is all about taking action, creating, manifesting and doing.

With the two energies of your left and right hands, there is a yin and yang balance between the two of them which keeps the energetic flow throughout your body circulating. When these energies are blocked, it can make you feel depressed, stagnant, agitated and unwell.

Itchiness in your right palm is related to feeling as though you are being controlled or limited from living the life that you feel would give you more joy. This could be related to being stuck at a job you don’t like or having a boss that makes you feel worthless. It could be that you are in a relationship that no longer makes you happy, and you feel you have no more to give into the partnership.

Having itchiness in your right hand is also a sign that you have more of an electric charge to your “taking action” energy, and this could be a great time to take action on your goals. If you are stuck on a decision, this could be a sign to make the decision and go for it.

In this way, having an itchy right palm could be a sign that money is headed your way, in the sense that you have more manifesting energy and may attract finances more easily.

While uncommon, it is possible to experience both palms itching at the same time. So, what does it mean when both hands feel itchy?

Having both hands itching is a sign that you have a heightened sensitivity to energy, which also means that you are most likely sensitive to the energies of other people. This can mean that you need to take care of your energetic health more than most others.

This can be a sign that you are empathic or a highly sensitive person, and have a very nurturing and compassionate spirit. It could be a sign that you are gifted in healing with your hands, and that a career in energy healing or healing arts could be fulfilling.

Once you begin to let your true self begin to help and heal others, the itching will most likely subside, as now this energy has a place to go. Keeping the connection and flow with others in a positive way, so that they can heal, is important for your energetic health.
