There are different interpretations for itchy palms superstition and money. Some say, that itching shows there is some kind of internal energy that is moving through your palms. The right hand is supposed to be active and the left hand is the passive or receptive one. So, the right itchy palm indicates, your energy or services are moving out. This means you are going to be paid for these services, meaning, more money! However, the left palm itching means you are on the receptive mode and should expect new services in life. New services are always paid, so you are going to give away money.
