As you can see, ladybugs have a strong meaning spiritually when it comes to having luck with your life, whether that is through being successful at work or in your romantic partnerships – and they are very protective too.
In this article we shall take a look at both red and black ladybugs in more detail, and see what they symbolize.
What Do Ladybugs Symbolize Spiritually?
Ladybugs are the ultimate symbol of love and romance. It is said that if you find that a ladybug is near you, it will bring along with it some love for you.
While not always romantically, if you are currently looking for somebody to fall in love with, then seeing a ladybug means that you will meet the person that will bring you happiness.
Not only that, ladybugs symbolize having good luck.
If you are looking to do well, whether at your job or on a personal level, seeing a ladybug means that you will succeed.
Ladybugs also represent change and transformation.
Whenever you see a ladybug and your life is going through a change, just know that this new way of life is positive. In fact, ladybugs are all about positivity.
The ladybug is so powerful that they will cross your path when you lose a loved one to show that there is brightness still out there.
The atmosphere will change as the positive vibes are sent to you via the ladybug.
What Does A Black Ladybug Symbolize?
When it comes to the black ladybug, they have a number of meanings associated with them.
If there is a meaning that sounds like it is for you, embrace it and use it to grow as a person, and to provide guidance in life.
Receiving Protection
As we stated before, the ladybug, especially the black ladybug, is known to give the person who sees it protection. However, it is not as simple as that.
If the ladybug is on some fabric material that is owned by you (like clothes) and you see some of its red and black stains upon it, then they have marked you as a person to protect.
If you are worried about the future ahead, just know that you can feel confident while being protected by the ladybug who will assure you that no danger will come your way.
Finding Love
When you see a black ladybug on the bed you sleep in, it means that you will find true love soon. This particular person will be the one you end up marrying.
The black ladybug that has appeared on the bed is bringing you a message to say that your soulmate is very much close by and you will meet soon.
Sending Good Luck
The black ladybug is traditionally known as giving a person good luck. This happens when it lands upon the shoulder on the right side.
At that very moment you should make a wish before it flies away.
Once it does fly away, it means the wish you have just made will come true. It also brings good luck your way, as well as hope for a bright future ahead.
Discovering Who You Are
A lot of the time we spend days thinking about ourselves from another person’s perspective.
If this is happening to you, a ladybug will stop by to show you that this is going on.
If you make the symbolic connection, now is the time to let those people go, or to rethink how you feel and evaluate exactly how you see yourself today.
It is only yourself who really understands who you are, and how you should be seen by the world.
Do not let other people judge your character and change you to fit their mold.
What Does It Mean If You See A Dead Black Ladybug?
Even though the ladybug is black, it does not signify death.
Instead, it symbolizes that right now you are not making the right decision, and that you should reevaluate it.
However, it could also mean that danger is on the way. The dead black ladybug is there to warn you that something is about to happen and to be aware.
Lastly, it may also mean that you need to look at your own habits and selfishness.
Final Thoughts
There are many spiritual meanings when you see a black ladybug, but despite its dark color, it is mainly positive (See also Spiritual Meaning: White Ladybugs).
