They say there’s no such thing as luck, but anyone who is a little more spiritual may well say the opposite, with astrology suggesting that your zodiac sign may influence how luck shows up in your life.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you’re going to win the lottery. It doesn’t mean your football team will win at the weekend or you’ll win the jackpot on slots across the best social casinos. But it does, if you were to so believe, mean that your fortune may be favoured at certain times of the year.
Each sign has its own relationship with fortune, which is shaped by its ruling planet and elemental nature. So, what does your zodiac sign say about your relationship with lady luck? We delve into the details…
Aries (21 March – 19 April)
Often considered lucky because of boldness rather than fate, this fire sign, ruled by Mars, sees people create their own opportunities by being decisive and quick.
People born between March 21 and April 19 have a tendency to land on their feet due to being keen to take risks that others often avoid. Their luck improves if they trust their instincts, but of course, it can also lead to recklessness too.
Taurus (20 April – 20 May)
Taurus experience luck that’s slightly slower burning. People born under this sign attract financial stability and rather than sudden windfalls, they are fortunate through their consistency, making sensible decisions and persevering with them.
Their luck is at its strongest when they are flexible and remain that way, although stubbornness can also be a blocker on any unexpected opportunities that arise.
Gemini (21 May – 20 June)
Timing and communication is where luck lies with a Gemini. The air sign, which is ruled by Mercury, finds people in the right place at the right time, largely thanks to adaptability and curiosity. They find their luck through information, communication and the people they surround themselves with.
It can be scattered, if they try to do too much at once or fail to follow through on opportunities.
Cancer (21 June – 22 July)
Luck within those born between the end of June and end of July is down to intuition and emotional intelligence. It’s what you get when ruled by the Moon. Cancerians will often sense when it’s the right time to move ahead or pull back and that can dictate the fortune they receive.
By trusting their gut, luck will often follow, but should fear take over, it’s easy to miss out on that.
Leo (23 July – 22 August)
Often considered one of the zodiac’s luckiest signs, Leos attract attention, success and admiration quite naturally, with the Sun shining down on them.
They, as a result, shine brightly and have a confidence and charisma which luck tends to follow, particularly when they act generously or authentically. Overconfidence or ego, however, can turn fortune against them.
Virgo (23 August – 22 September)
Virgos don’t tend to rely on luck, they manufacture it themselves. The earth sign benefits when prepared, conducting analysis and precision. They create fortune in practical matters, in work and in their health due to noticing details that others miss.
Luck grows when they release the perfectionism in them and allow for unexpected outcomes to occur.
Libra (23 September – 22 October)
The balanced zodiac sign, Libra’s luck flows through that and the relationships and harmony created. Ruled by Venus, Librans often receive help at just the right time, particularly through the partnerships and relationships they create.
They are fair and charming and that helps attract favourable outcomes, but indecision can often delay luck, so learning to act decisively is key.
Scorpio (23 October – 21 November)
Luck among Scorpio can be intense and transformative, with the sign, ruled by Pluto, often going through dramatic highs and lows. However, it emerges stronger each time and Scorpios enjoy the most luck when they embrace change and have trust in their resilience.
As a result, fortune is often found after periods of difficulty, rewarding their emotional depth and perseverence.
Sagittarius (22 November – 21 December)
Another sign known for its luck, the Jupiter led zign of the zodiac attracts opposites, while travel and growth is among their key traits. This draws good fortune, particularly when they’re willing to take a leap of faith.
Luck will fade, when carelessness replaces wisdom, though.
Capricorn (22 December – 19 January)
Luck among Capricorns is earned rather than given. People born in late December to late January benefit from discipline, patience and long-term planning. They may not experience sudden bouts of luck, but rather a steady climb that leads to lasting success.
Enjoying the rewards they work so hard for will also improve fortune.
Aquarius (20 January – 18 February)
Luck is found in innovation and originality from Aquarius. Ruled by Uranus, the sign benefits from unconventional pathways and unexpected breakthroughs. They are lucky when they embrace what makes them unique and they think ahead.
Resistance to structure can destablise gains, so it’s important to find the right balance.
Pisces (19 February – 20 March)
Pisces experiences subtle, spiritual luck. Ruled by Neptune, this sign often benefits from synchronicity, creativity and compassion. Pisces may not always notice their luck immediately, but it often arrives in meaningful, life-changing ways. Their fortune strengthens when they remain grounded and protect their energy.
