4 signs from the universe you should never ignore

Have you ever had that strange feeling that something is wrong, even though everything seems "okay"? Or the moment when you suddenly forget your keys, phone, wallet, and by being a few minutes late, you've avoided a terrible situation?

Some call it “intuition,” others “a feeling,” but many believe these are signs from the universe—signals meant to protect you, warn you, or nudge you in a better direction. According to spiritual mentor Medici James, there are some signs you shouldn’t ignore, because when the universe speaks, there’s usually a reason.

1. You can't find some items when you're ready to leave.

If before you leave the house you suddenly forget where you left your keys, your phone drops from your hand, or you remember that you forgot something, stop for a second.

According to James, this is a signal: maybe you should have left a few minutes later, not because you're wrong, but because the universe is protecting you from something. It could be a delay that saves you from an accident, or a meeting that leads to an acquaintance that changes the course of your day or life.

Even tarot card reader Barbie says the same thing: when flights get delayed, interviews get canceled, or you suddenly get sick, it's often a sign that the path you were on wasn't the right one for you. And sometimes, you just have to wait a little longer.

2. You feel bad when talking to someone

Have you ever been in the middle of a conversation and suddenly you're at a loss for words? Can't remember what you wanted to say? Or do you just feel awkward around that person?

James calls this a classic sign from the universe telling you, "Stop. Stop talking." Not every conversation is for everyone, and sometimes your intuition warns you that the energy in front of you is not for you.

Intuitive psychiatrist Judith Orloff says:

"Even if you don't have a clear reason why you don't trust someone, your feeling is enough to keep your distance."

3. Plants and flowers suddenly wither

We know it sounds like something out of a magic movie, but it's more than that. If you have plants at home and they suddenly start to wither for no reason, don't ignore them.

According to James, plants have the ability to absorb negative energy, and sometimes, they do it to protect you. Think about who has been in your home recently. Did you sense any negative energy?

Florist Venetka Arsenova also claims that plants like lavender, rosemary, and jasmine help cleanse energy and improve mental peace. So maybe they're not just for decoration.

4. Someone touches your hair 

Hair, according to many spiritual beliefs, is the energetic crown of a person. James says that when someone touches your hair without permission, they can actually pass negative energy onto you, even if they don't realize it.

Don't let people, especially strangers, touch your hair. Not out of snobbery, but out of protection. Because sometimes, the best way to keep positive energy flowing is to set clear boundaries, even for things that seem "innocent."
