Ever since I've been going out with my boyfriend, I've been seeing a butterfly everyday at the same time...1:37pm. Even if I'm at work, I'l be taking out trash or sweeping and a monarch will breeze right by me. If I'm at school I'll unintentionally go to the bathroom and I'll look out the window and there will be a butterfly flying by. It's a lil weird. If me and my boyfriend have a fight, I won't see one. I wanna know what it means lol. Help me haha

What does a butterfly symbolize? The butterfly is a symbol of transformation or change, love and joy.
It represents beauty, changes, taking flight, simplicity and peace. At first, its an ugly catepillar and no one will give it a second look. But with time and dedication, it becomes something marvelous to the human eye. It's a natural wonder.
So, if you had a break-up, after getting through some tough times, a butterfly just reminds you that you had to take time and appreciate what you had, and what you hope to be in the future.
Butterflies mean a new life, a new beginning, if you will.
Think that after years of trying to please everyone else by being someone you're not, you can be spontaneous and exhilarating! You are beautiful and calm. You are colorful and vibrant...just like the butterfly ... everything you want to continue to be! ~ Happy.
In paintings, particularly Dutch Renasance (sp) butterflies stand for fleeting love (Jacques Louis David, Cupid and Psyche).
Butterflies represents a new life for you. Are you changing in ways that you would never even think of changing right now? Seeing so many butterflies in your life right now may mean that your life is going through changes and you should be enjoying life to its fullest!
Traditionally, butterflies are pretty and so many people want them in their lives, whether in paintings or mere decoration on their bodies. In a deeper sense butterflies represent rebirth or transformation from the catterpillar to the beautiful butterfly.
A friend of mine got a butterfly tattoo recently...just because she likes butterflies. It doesn't "mean" anything! Check out tattoo symbolism here: http://tattoo.about.com/cs/beginners/a/symbols_intro.htm But, remember, sometimes a rose is just a rose. It doesn't mean or symbolize anything!
It could represent different things for different people. Here are some examples of Butterfly symbolism: Change, Joy and/or Color. The butterfly can also represent transition and freedom as well as peace.
The Native Americans believe that if you tell a secret to a butterfly, it is ever safe in their keeping, given that a butterfly can not speak.
Some people use a butterfly to symbolise someone close that has passed away. I believe that some European cultures believe that spirits or souls are trapped in white butterflies. Others just like the look of a butterfly and the tattoo may not represent anything significant to them.
A purple butterfly symbolizes the fight against Lupus, a type of cancer.
Other people think a butterfly represents a womens vagina.
So, given that you have been seeing butterflies everyday, at almost the same time, to me, this symbolizes all things good. It's love, it's joy, it's happiness! However, as the butterfly can fly away in any direction at a moment's notice, I would be cautious with your relationship. You can't capture the butterfly, or it will die. Give it freedom, and it will stay in your garden and drink the nectar. ;-)
Be happy!

My rising sign is Capricorn- sextile my venus/pluto in Scorpio, conjunct my neptune in Capricorn, trine my moon in Gemini with saturn in Aquarius in the first house. Capricorn and saturn are associated with skin and bones. I have dry skin, but a great complextion. I have naturally strong, straight, well shaped, white teeth. I have never broken a bone or suffered an acne attack. I'm 5'7" and weigh enough to make me obese, but I have never been called "fat" by anyone. Capricorn rising has endowed me with being slender and well porportioned. I think the venus/pluto conjunction that sextiles my rising makes me look busty and big-hipped. I am often told that I have bedroom eyes, that they're very dark and steel-like, or that I look like I'm never there (dreamy neptune does this to me). Many of the people that I meet and befriend tell me that I'm intimidating. I tend to stare into people, rather than at people and I like to cross the line to see where the limits lie. I have both bold Scorpio and inquisitive Gemini to thank for my frequent inquisitions. When I start working on something, I won't stop until it's done. I've been called OCD because I tend to be a control freak and can't stand it when something is not done a certain way. I usually get my way and have a hard time accepting when I don't. If I'm really set on getting what I want, I work for it or manipulate the hell out of the people I need to get it. Needless to say, I keep few and very loyal friends. I'm very independant and enjoy being alone. I think the rising sign, it's aspects, and the planets in signs that aspect it influence both the personality and the physical self.

Butterflies are associated with completeness. Notice that on a butterfly they are very symmetrical, yet they do not have to be the same colored/spotted. Seeing butterflies probably means that you have found a life partner that will keep you complete. However there are different kinds of butterflies, meaning different types of relationships. As for the time 1:37, I dont know you might wanna wikipedia that one =P You might find out something really cool about that time.

Butterflies are usually a symbol of transformation. A symbol of change. You can read whatever you want into that, but a new boyfriend is a change, right? A butterfly also represents spirit and who you are.
Here is a site that lists several symbolic meanings for a butterfly.

Cross association and involved in an unhappy relationship. The butterfly maybe your inner desire to get out of your relationship. Or perhaps a desire to control that relationship.

If it is a very beautiful butterfly, with lots of different colors, its symbolizes that there is success, completeness, love, and even bliss currently happening in your life, on the other hand if it is a black one, it simply symbolizes death...
