What it means
An itchy right palm is one of the most well known money signs. In many old sayings, the right hand is the giving and doing hand, so an itch there is read as money or good news heading your way.
Not every culture reads it the same. In some, the right palm means money going out, and the left means money coming in. The saying you know best is often the one that fits you.
Right palm and left palm
A common version holds that the right palm itches when money is coming, and the left when money is leaving. Another version flips the two.
Rather than worry about the rule, notice the timing. An itch right before payday or good news can feel like a wink from the world.
