I’m sure you’ve wondered when the best time is to buy lottery tickets before – we’ve all been there. The truth is, the stars won’t actually tell you when you’ll win or what numbers to pick. But there are a few times that are supposed to be a little luckier than others if you feel like taking a chance.
Jupiter Transits:
- Jupiter in the 2nd House: The 2nd house deals with finances and personal resources, so having the lucky planet Jupiter there can really open things up. Expect your bank account to get a nice boost – extra money coming in from unexpected sources, and if not a lottery win, then maybe a raise or bonus at work.
- Jupiter in the 5th House: This house is all about taking chances – gambling, lotteries, risky investments, you name it. With Jupiter there encouraging good fortune, lady luck seems to be smiling on you. I wouldn’t quit your day job just yet, but feel free to play the occasional lottery ticket.
- Jupiter Trine/Sextile Natal Sun or Venus: The sun represents vitality and success, while Venus rules money and relationships. Aspects there from expansive Jupiter point to professional opportunities and romantic prospects that could also lead to financial gain.
Venus Transits:
- Venus in the 2nd House: Venus is all about money, luxury, and beauty – so having it placed in the house that rules over income and personal resources means you may be lucky when it comes to earning and accumulating wealth.
- Venus Trine/Sextile Jupiter: This combination is often seen as particularly lucky and beneficial for financial matters. Jupiter is the planet of expansion and good fortune, so when it’s getting along well with money-maker Venus, you know your financial situation is likely to blossom.
Sun Transits:
- Sun in the 5th House: The Sun here can energize activities related to luck and gambling. You may find yourself drawn to things with an element of luck involved. Sports betting, lotteries, you name it. Just watch yourself – with the Sun there it can be easy to get carried away if you start winning.
- Sun Conjunct Jupiter: Any time those two big lucky planets link up like that, it’s a good sign things may start going your way. If you don’t hit the jackpot, I wouldn’t be surprised if you find yourself in the right place at the right time for opportunities that lead to success.
Uranus Transits:
- Uranus Trine/Sextile Jupiter: Aspects between Uranus and Jupiter can really bring some unexpected blessings into our lives. Uranus is all about change and surprises, but when it forms nice angles to Jupiter, the planet of abundance and opportunity, those changes often end up benefiting us financially.
Moon Transits:
- New Moon: This new lunar phase brings opportunities for new beginnings and fresh starts. A clean slate is offered, so why not take a chance and try something new? It can be a good time to try your luck.
- Full Moon in the 2nd or 5th House: This full lunar cycle brings things to a head and allows the fruits of previous labors to shine. With the full moon spotlight illuminating your finances or creativity, opportunities you’ve been cultivating may now come to fruition.
Mars Transits:
- Mars in the 5th House: You might feel the urge to push boundaries and take a few chances in life! With Mars energizing this part of your chart, you probably find it easier than most to put yourself out there and try new experiences, lottery included.
Retrograde Periods
You have to be careful during Mercury retrograde times. That’s when all the wires get crossed and things goes wrong. But some astrologers believe it can also bring good luck out of nowhere. Think about the ups and downs before doing anything or buying a full lottery ticket too big during those periods.
Lucky Days For Each Zodiac Sign
Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Fire signs, Tuesdays and Sundays are your lucky days. Those days are ruled by your main planets Mars and the Sun. That means those days are when your luck is peaked. You should definitely think about picking up a lottery ticket on one of those days.
Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Wednesdays and Fridays tend to be lucky days for you, earth signs. Those days are connected to Mercury and Venus, the planets that rule communication and cash flow. You’ll probably find yourself being extra practical and logical on those days. It could help you make more thoughtful choices if you play the lottery.
Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Air signs, Wednesdays, and Saturdays could be your lucky days. Those days are influenced by Mercury and Saturn, which play to your strengths of being analytical and thinking things through. When you get lottery tickets on those days, you may feel extra intuitive and confident in your choices.
Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Mondays and Thursdays tend to be extra lucky days for water signs. That’s because those days are ruled by the Moon and Jupiter, which amp up your natural psychic vibes and sense for opportunities. When you get lottery tickets on those days, listen to your gut feelings. Your instincts will guide you on what numbers to pick.
Disclaimer: Astrology can make buying lottery tickets more exciting. But it’s really important to only bet what you can afford to lose. Those “lucky days” are just part of astrology. You have to look at your finances and other things, too, when deciding if you should play the lottery. Play smart, and don’t put yourself in a tough spot.
