Ladybug Love Symbolism

Ladybug Love Symbolism

by Mike
(Canada)

When me and my closest friend were talking about her chosen one, I was admittedly saddened because I had once been her lover and I was not over her yet.

During our talk, we were walking and she noticed twice that ladybugs were at our feet, and when she tried to have one go on her hand, it refused and tried to avoid her.

However, when I placed my had close to it, it immediately when for my hand.

This was at least a month ago, but today another occurrence happened with a lady bug. while I was in my car at a stop sign, a ladybug came to the hood of my car. I saw it land, and as if we had made eye contact, it left feeling like it had given it's private message.

Though I've read the animal symbolism's for a ladybug, I don't quite understand the exact nature of these meetings. the only thing I know for certain is that it was a very positive message. would anyone have more insight to this?

Just a quick note to say how Avia's words uplifted me. I was searching this site for the symbolic meaning of the ladybird as in the last few days 2 have landed on my hand. You have reminded me to keep my heart open in all areas of my life.

Thank you :-)

Beautiful but it is a predator NEW
by: Solve

How much of symbolism is related to real life?
I am quite new to this wonderful world of symbolism and myths. When I read this article and the comments I was thinking about the nature of ladybugs that really is not so cute as it is beautiful. this little animal is a predator and even a cannibal if there is no other food to eat.

In my view the symbols of the ladybug would be not a positive sign, but maybe a warning.

Here you can read some facts about he ladybug:

An momemt with a lady bug NEW
by: Anonymous

tonight for the first time in several weeks I had a quiet moment. So I sat down to journal in a special book meant for my heart to read someday when he is ready. As I am journaling, I look up and here sits a ladybug on my bed. It was one of these moments when you know it means something. After all it is past lady bug weather in Michigan being the end of Oct. Anyway, as I stop to think, then make a phone call to a spiritual friend, this lady bug jumps right into the book and sits there. Then Flies up and lands in vacinity of my heart. Not knowing what that might mean I looked up and found this site.
I can certainly hope it does mean good luck and my wish to come true. I have been in a friendship for nine years, that is evolving to something more. I have been praying for a year, that this only happen if the creator wants this to happen, and if he doesn't that it would just quietly drift away. So far, it just keeps moving closer in a one step forward, two backwards type of dance. I can only hope I get my wish and the heart of my warrior, but only if it is the will of the creator.

found her NEW
by: Mike

funny thing, I've met my destined lover more or less a week ago :)

just as a side note, I'm a very special tarot card reader, and when doing my first reading of her, my cards threw out three important cards ( I do not read cards in any pattern, my deck refuses to do so. I only need to shuffle it and the cards pop out.) the three cards were: the two of cups, the page of swords (the core personality of my loved one) and the knight of swords (my core personality card).

during the first few days we met, three ladybugs came to me, and thought I knew they were a message of love, I never got a chance to see the number of spots, thus I knew it would be soon. I'm also not surprised that ladybugs are attracted to me, seeing as I am a water/fire element, thus making me a very passionate person.

thank you very much for your time and knowledge, I appreciated it very much!

Ladybugs and Love NEW
by: Avia

Hello Mike,

Firstly, I want to recognize (and commend) your level of sensitivity. It takes a special soul to pick up on the subtle cues and messages of Nature, especially from the tiniest insect realms.

There is an ancient Chinese legend that links the ladybug with love. The story goes that when a ladybug comes to call, it is a sign that true love will also pay us a visit. Further renditions of the legend state the number of spots on the ladybug indicate the amount of months that will pass until we are united with our true love.

I love myth and legends, but I don't subscribe to hanging all of our hopes on them.

Rather, I look within (the soul, heart, mind, etc) and see how my inner impulses relate to the symbolic phenomenon occurring in my life (such as a visitation from a ladybug).

I also love the presence of color in nature, and often link chakra meanings (chakras are energy centers in the body and presented to us by ancient Hindu wisdom) to colors that come to me in visitations.

For example, the ladybug (to me) is a symbol of passion, ardor, adoration, amorousness because of its color, red. According to chakra wisdom, red is associated with the Muladhara charka (the root chakra) which deals with passion, desire, primal urge and even sex. There are other subtle layers to this chakra and its color, but it always triggers the feeling of a passionate fire kindling within me.

Hence, when a ladybug comes to call, I always sense its a message of connecting with my passion, connecting with a love that ignites my whole being. Very auspicious, and a very positive connection.

Does this mean the ladybug is a symbol of you united with your friend in a love relationship?

Rather than go there, I want to say the ladybug in your case is absolutely a message of love. I also want to say that love comes in countless forms. Your ladybug could be a reminder to you to keep your heart open, and remain in a loving state in order to connect with your true love (whether that be your friend, some other lucky person equally suited for you at this time, or even a love for work, hobby or reconnecting with family).

The details of your ladybug message will be left up to you to work out. But I can confirm the ladybug as an auspicious (positive) messenger of love.

Furthermore, I'm convinced the ladybug would not have come to you if you were not emitting an energy of love to begin with (they sense our energy levels, and are attracted to that "red" kind of vibe).

So...keep your heart in a loving state, and in response to that state, know that love shall always fly to you and land within your heart.

Hope this helps you Mike.

Brightly,
Avia
