This evening, a gecko fell on my head from the ceiling of the patio. I had walked out onto the patio to have a look at the moon. No lights were on in the patio or in the house. Someone else followed me on to the patio with a flashlight. The sudden light might have caused the gecko to drop down and my head just happened to be in the way.
When I felt it land on my head, I thought a bug might have flown and crashed, but when I flicked it, it turned out to be a small gecko. It fell on the patio floor after I flicked it and scurried off. It still has its tail intact. It's the first time a gecko has landed on me.
I had a quick browse on Google, and the usual doom and gloom, or usually quite contradicting, omen interpretations according to Indian astrology came up. I wish they actually wrote in those books why they thought it would be auspicious or not. I am pretty sure it all has a scientific explanation behind it, which seems to be lost.
Anyway, I am not feeling any doom or gloom. Maybe I've been through enough that it doesn't bother me any more, but some good times ahead would be most welcome.
I'll dig up the animal omen books in the morning and see what they have to say. In the meantime, it's open for interpretation.
To me the gecko is a great great animal, it´s truly divine; it´s humility incarnated I believe.
(In the house in which I live they are quite abundant and makes it a very cosy place. They are fun!)
I believe it´s a reminder of humility as the key to higher consciousness.
Falling "in the head" - well, time to surrender your ideas and intellectual prestige, maybe?
A very friendly reminder in any case. I can´t think of a more friendly creature than the gecko (although it my bite you if you give it your finger, of course, but why would you?)
