A crab sighting
As the weather gets warmer and people venture outside, the chances of seeing a crab increase. Does the image of a crab keep appearing to you? What omen is a crab? There are different answers to these questions. Luckily, the meaning of a crab sighting is generally positive. What’s more, it can actually say a lot about your sense of self and home.
What is a crab?
There are many different types of crabs. Some live in salt water, some live in fresh water, and some do not live in water at all. Like fish, crabs use their gills to absorb oxygen from the water. Most crabs have a tough outer shell that protects them from threats.
Crabs often have poor eyesight, making it difficult for them to hunt and catch food. They overcome this handicap by being excellent scavengers. Crabs will eat anything they can, including dead and decaying food sources. They generally play to their strengths, be it brute force or simple adaptability. All in all, crabs are survivors who make the best of any situation.
Many Native American cultures regard the crab as a symbol of wisdom and reincarnation. Likewise, the crab is considered a symbol of victory and prosperity in Asian cultures.
When faced with competition, crabs often struggle to come out on top, and in some areas this has led them to become a symbol of manly masculinity. So if you see a single crab it could indicate strength, but seeing many crabs at once could be a sign that you are feeling overwhelmed and insecure.
The crab and its shell
A crab’s shell often doubles as its home, so a crab sighting could be an indicator of movement or change in your life path. The shell can also reflect homely values and the comfort of home. If you find yourself on the move often, a crab sighting can remind you of your feelings to settle down, whatever those might be.
The curious crab is quick to explore new waters. The crab is confident in its defenses and may be interested in seeing what else the world has to offer. As a result, in some cases, the appearance of a crab could be confirmation that it’s safe to explore.
Dream about a crab
What does it mean to dream of a crab? To decipher this you need to consider the context of your encounter with the crab in your dream. Since they are often associated with the moon and the sea, the appearance of a crab in a dream can have deep emotional interpretations. Additionally, this lunar association means that Cancers can symbolize maternal energies as well as regeneration and protection. If you dream about a crab, consider all elements of the dream very carefully, as the crab can be connected to the spiritual world and manifestation.
Why so grumpy?
Seeing a crab at night reinforces the emotion associated with the sighting. Why do we say people are “grumpy” when they are moody? Because when a crab is caught, it tends to thrash about. They will bite an attacker with their pincers.
Crabs can move side to side as well as backwards. That means they don’t always go straight ahead. In some cases, this could be interpreted as a sign that someone is being uncooperative or indirect. Maybe you feel stubborn and have tunnel vision? If so, a crab scurrying across your path can serve as a reminder that not all roads lead where you expect them to. The journey you need might be a little less direct than the one you have planned. Let the crab inspire you to think outside the box when tackling problems.
On a positive note, these animals are associated with another old adage – “happy as a crab.” This saying refers to the crab’s calm, accepting nature as it moves to the rhythm of the tide. A crab sighting may indicate that you have accepted the natural cycles in your life.
Cancer as a totem and power animal
As a totem, the crab represents a fighting spirit. Reach for the crab to keep going, especially when you’re feeling mentally or physically exhausted. When you feel like you can’t keep going, the crab can guide you around your obstacles. It can quell your frustrations and encourage you not to give up.
The resident crab also has a welcoming energy, making it the perfect symbol/image to bring to a new home or offer as a gift to new friends. Crabs tend to keep their circle tight. If you give it to someone you care about, the symbol of a crab can strengthen your bond. Likewise, when you set a goal, you can count on the crab to help you achieve that goal. Unconventional and personal, a crab makes a great totem or spirit animal.
