The spider is a double-sided weaver. On its bright side it represents patience, craft and creative power — the slow, deliberate building of something intricate, thread by thread. Seeing a spider calmly spin can bless a long-term project taking shape.
Its shadow side is entanglement: a manipulative situation, a relationship of sticky obligations, or anxieties multiplying in a corner you refuse to look at. Being caught in a web suggests feeling trapped by circumstances you helped weave. Ask which web in your life you are the maker of — and which the fly.
