Individual spontaneous signs named by the author as individual omens are under consideration. The structure of the sign above is described from the point of view of the signifier-signified dichotomy. The signifier includes two types of situations, namely, a current one and a motivating one. The relation between the two types of situations can be characterized as a semiotic one; it usually has features of an index, but it is sometimes associated with an icon. The signified in some cases makes symbolization of the motivating situation participants. A number of associations between the individual omen and other kinds of individual signs are presented in the paper.
