1) The weather is a-changin’:
“I always heard, growing up, that when your bo*b itches, it means rain is coming,” Reddit user u/Mothsarethebomb wrote. She continued as “I’m not sure if the women in my family truly believe this or if they’re all goofin’ on superstitions.”
“Precipitation or (a) cold snap” are the changes in the weather that can occur, Catherine Buff wrote at Femme today.
“If a girl itches … both nipples (simultaneously), this may foreshadow a change in the weather,” according to Fsetyt com. “It is possible that it will rain on the street.” However, they explained that the itching to the nipple will need to occur in the morning.
2) Someone who was once special to you wants back into your life:
This has been expressed in many ways, but the common denominator is the same: as HisLittleGirl LM wrote at Exemplore, itchy breasts means someone who once was special to you wants to be part of your life again.
“Someone you used to love wants to come back into your life,” HisLittleGirl LM wrote on HubPages as to the itchy-breast superstition.

Kentucky apparently agrees: “If your left nipple gets itchy, someone’s mas*urbating while thinking of you,” it says at “Kentucky Superstitions” via uiwseow.tk. And if it’s your right nipple that gets itchy, the person mas*urbating is “that weird uncle that your parents never invite.”
