Possible Spiritual Interpretations
You’re becoming enlightened. If your right eye is twitching, it’s a sign you’re honing your intuition and becoming a more enlightened being. Maybe you’ve been praying or meditating a lot lately, or you’re just learning to rely on your spiritual instincts more—whatever it is, your third eye is open and alert. Your right eye twitching means you’re moving beyond the physical realm and becoming more spiritually focused. (If you’re sitting there going, “What? No I’m not!” then your eye-twitch might just be a sign that you should.)
You’re in need of counseling from a spiritual advisor. Your right eye may be twitching because you’re spiritually aimless at the moment. Your body might be trying to encourage you to seek out a spiritual guru of sorts to lean on. They can offer you guidance and help you understand what’s next on your spiritual journey. A spiritual guru may take many different forms. They may be a pastor, a psychic, a tarot reader, or just someone you trust who’s further along on their spiritual path.
You’re getting in touch with your artistic side. For some cultures, the right eye is a symbol of art and creativity, and if your right eye is twitching, it’s a sign inspiration is about to strike you. You may be the next Picasso, or you may just find personal fulfillment in developing your artistic side. If you’re already an artist, this is a sign to pick up your paintbrush, your pen, your instrument, whatever your medium, and keep at it. You’re on the verge of a magnificent creation. If you’re not an artist yet, take your twitch as a hint from the universe to dabble in a new artistic hobby—maybe something you’ve always been curious about but never tried before.
People are saying good things about you. You may have heard that when your ear burns, it means people are speaking well of you. In the same way, your right eye twitching could indicate that the people around you are talking favorably about you when you’re not around. Have you done any favors lately for friends or coworkers? A recent act of generosity could inspire people to think kindly of you—or maybe people are just talking about you because you’re generally awesome!
You’re feeling spiritually low. Everyone goes through spiritual highs and lows, and if your right eye is twitching, it might be a sign you’re in a slump. Take heart. It won’t last forever. You’re likely to feel more spiritually encouraged again with time and rest, but you can also practice meditating to raise your vibration.
God is watching you. If your right eye is twitching, it could be a reminder that you’re protected by God. Don't worry: you’re not alone on your life path. In Central and South America, if your right eyebrow twitches, it could signify you're being watched not necessarily by God, but by someone who loves you and wants to check up on you.
You may be pregnant. According to some cultures, when your right eye twitches, it might mean you’re carrying a child. Your eye may twitch as a sign from the spiritual realm to prepare for the many life changes that come with having a baby.
Bad fortune may be coming your way. We hate to say it, but astrologically speaking, your right eye twitching may signify that bad luck is on the horizon. This bad fortune may be significant, such as a change in finances or your relationship, or it may be as minor as tripping on the sidewalk and scraping your knee. It’s important to look on the bright side—knowing bad fortune is coming ahead of time can help you prepare for it.
What is the spiritual significance of the eye?
The right eye signifies intuition, creativity, and emotion. The right eye is often viewed as a symbol of dreams and artistry. It represents inner wisdom and emotional connectedness. According to many cultures, the right eye is associated with spiritual strength. Many cultures consider the right eye the symbol of feminine energy, meaning that when a woman experiences a twitch in her right eye, it’s a good sign. However, for other cultures and religions, such as Hinduism, it’s the total opposite! According to certain beliefs, including astrology, the right eye represents masculine energy, and it’s bad luck for a woman to have a twitch in her right eye and good luck when she has a twitch in her left eye.
The left eye signifies rationality and logic. While the right eye signifies daydreaming, the left eye is all about having your feet planted firmly on the ground. The left eye sees the logic and reason behind everything. As aforementioned, some cultures and religions associate the left eye with masculinity and see it as a positive sign when a man’s left eye twitches and a negative sign when his right eye twitches—and other cultures believe the opposite. The eyes are not ruled by planets, but by the sun and moon: the left eye is ruled by the moon, and the right by the sun.
Medical Interpretations
You’re stressed. Got a lot on your plate lately? Eye-twitching, medically called myokymia, could be a sign you’re overly stressed out. Try to trim your to-do list for the day. Move slowly, drink lots of water, and relax as much as you can. If you can’t shorten your to-do list, you can still reduce your stress levels by meditating in between tasks, taking a 10-minute walk around the block when you start to feel overwhelmed, and taking deep breaths to help you calm down.
You may need some shut-eye. Eye twitching is a common symptom of sleep deprivation, so if you’re dealing with a twitch that just won’t go away, it might be best to settle in for a good long nap. Try to get 8 hours of sleep each night to ensure you’re well-rested in the morning. Be sure to limit your screen time the last hour before sleep, too: studies show blue light from your phone, computer, or TV can prevent you from getting deep sleep. You might be tempted to try to counteract your exhaustion with an extra cup of coffee, but caffeine can actually make your eye twitch more. Best to skip your third americano and go back to sleep if you can.
You’ve been drinking. Too much alcohol can cause your eye to twitch temporarily. Once you’ve sobered up, your eye should stop twitching, but it can be super annoying in the moment. If your eye twitches every time you drink, it might be a sign to cut back!
Your eye is irritated. Extreme eye-twitching, also called blepharospasm, may occur when the surface of your eye (the cornea) or the membranes lining your eyelids (the conjunctiva) is scratched or otherwise irritated. If the irritation is severe enough, your eye may close completely when it twitches. If your eye won't stop twitching after a few weeks, if you experience pain with your twitch, if other parts of your body start twitching, or if your whole eye closes when it twitches, see a doctor.
