good omen
Harbinger of fortune
A good omen is a sign or event believed to predict favorable outcomes.
Finding a four-leaf clover, seeing a rainbow, or having a black cat cross your path (in some cultures) might be considered good omens: She took the sunny weather on her wedding day as a good omen.
The interpretation depends entirely on cultural context and personal belief.
