In many cultures, even the smallest creatures have symbolic significance, and the lizard is no exception. In Asia, Africa, or tropical regions, lizards are a common sight in homes. Their rapid movements on the walls or ceiling often go unnoticed until a lizard emits a characteristic “chirp” or squeak. This sound instantly attracts attention, and Feng Shui and various spiritual traditions attribute hidden meanings to it, sometimes positive, sometimes ominous, depending on the situation.
Natural viewpoint
Before delving into symbolism, it’s important to note that lizards chirp for biological reasons. Most species use these sounds to mark their territory, attract a mate, or ward off rivals. The frequency and pitch of their sounds are part of their survival mechanism. However, because their chirps are often heard in the stillness of the night, they have been attributed mystical and spiritual meanings over the centuries.
Meaning of Lizard in Feng Shui
In Feng Shui, animals that enter a home are considered carriers of energy, “chi.” The lizard, known for its speed and liveliness, is considered a guardian. Its presence indicates that the home is energetically alive and protected. When a lizard makes a sound, Feng Shui interprets it as an energetic signal:
Good sign : If a lizard chirps near the entrance or living room, it can herald new opportunities. It is considered a symbol of a guest, financial luck, or a positive message.
