Everyone knows the superstition about a black cat bringing bad luck, but a dog crossing your path is also an important sign. When interpreting the event, consider whether the pet was domestic or stray, the color of its fur, and where the person was heading.
Interpretation of the sign
The most common belief is that if a dog crosses your path, you shouldn't expect anything special from the day's events. Neither good nor bad will happen. So the omen can be considered neutral.
But there are some nuances:
- If the owner's own dog ran in front of him when he was getting ready for a trip, it means the trip will go without complications;
- three dogs crossed the road - good luck will come;
- a dog wedding of four or more dogs encountered along the way promises a fun time with friends;
- If a dog crosses your path before an important event at work, you can forget about promotions and advancement for a while. However, there's no need to worry about being fired or demoted either. Everything will remain the same;
- A howling and whining dog running across the road in front of a person is always a bad sign, foreshadowing illness and misfortune.
According to witches and sorcerers, a person's thoughts before an unintentional encounter with a dog play a significant role. If all thoughts were preoccupied with solving a specific problem, then the animal is advice from the Universe: turn to friends for help. And when asked whether a person can be trusted, a runaway dog answers unequivocally: "Yes."
Does a dog's color matter?
Coat color is the most significant factor in interpreting the omen, as some colors bring happiness, while others bring misfortune. The main interpretations are:
- Black - a heartbreaking event will soon occur. For lovers, such a sign promises separation and disappointment in their partner;
- Black with a white spot - success in business will follow. This sign is especially favorable for a career;
- White - happiness, prosperity, and good fortune will not be long in coming. If you come across three dogs, you can agree to any adventure, fortune will turn its face;
- Red - the day is favorable for any transactions; money will flow like a river. For those awaiting news, this is a sign that good news will soon be received;
- Multi-colored - according to Indian beliefs, it promises sadness and disappointment, but the inhabitants of England, on the contrary, see the animal as a good omen, foreshadowing success and imminent good news.
Particular attention should be paid to a white dog: if a stray crosses your path and then decides to follow, it should be brought home. Such an encounter is no coincidence, but a gift from the Higher Powers. The pet will become a faithful talisman, bringing good luck and happiness.
Any information can be used for good, so it's important not to be upset if the omen is interpreted negatively. If a black dog crosses your path, simply be careful and avoid making important decisions that day.
