What itchy left palm is read as

Where the reading comes from
Before applying anything to itchy left palm, it helps to know where the reading came from. Body signs are among the most stubbornly persistent superstitions anywhere.

Repetition is read as emphasis rather than escalation. Seeing itchy left palm three times in a week does not triple the meaning, it just means the first two did not land.
Context that changes the reading
