Spirit Animals Meaning
You can experience the energy of spirit animals through symbolism in your reality or by actually seeing an animal in your physical world. Receiving signs of a particular animal multiple times, as in a pattern, can mean that this animal has a message for you or that their energy can act as medicine for you. If you see an animal in your reality, especially an animal you don’t see often or is rare to see, it can be a big sign with a more powerful meaning or impact for you at that time.
Spirit animals can act as a spirit guide throughout your life or they can come to you at times when you need their specific medicine, wisdom and/or energy. If you tend to see a certain animal a lot or you have always felt a special connection and kinship with a particular animal then it may be one of your spirit guides.
Ladybug Spirit Animal Meaning
When the ladybug starts to appear in your life it can mean that positive energy is about to enter your life. The ladybug can be seen as a guide and ally from spirit with a message of positive news and luck. They’re also symbols of change, transformation, metamorphosis and transition.
During the Middle Ages these gentle beetles were named “ladybugs” in honor of the Virgin Mary. First they were called “Beetle of Our Lady” and later this name was changed to “lady beetle”. The reason for this is because farmers at the time saw ladybugs as divine gifts from the Virgin Mary because they would eat pests and insure a good harvest.
Because of this the ladybug can be a good omen of miracles to come and that sometimes big miracles come in small packages. The ladybug is acting as a teacher for you at this time and is teaching you about positivity and lightheartedness. The ladybug can also be acting as a divine messenger who is bringing you messages from the spiritual realm to help guide you at this time.

Lastly, the ladybug can be a positive message for your future and a reminder to not worry and to just keep moving forward, as luck is on your side.
Like with all spirit animals, the ladybug can have many different meanings for your life at a particular time. Listening to your intuition and gut instincts will help you to know which message the ladybug has for you.
