Ever wonder why some people in your life seem to have it all? Well, chances are they’re born in one of the luckiest birth months of the year.

But don’t panic. While there are a select few months that carry some extra good juju, we all have good fortune baked into our birth charts. “Jupiter is the planet associated with good fortune and luck, and it appears in all of our charts throughout the year.” says astrologer Lucia Alfano. “So no matter when you're born, you're going to have a certain time of year that is luckier for you.” It's also important to remember that the luckiest months don’t necessarily have a strict beginning and end, so it's less about the month and more about the placement of planets in your birth chart.

If your bday didn't make the list, don't sweat it. Good luck will always find you. “Being lucky is also about being optimistic and open to opportunities,” Alfano explains. “People attract luck when they are open-minded and believe that the best is going to happen to them.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20) The Individualist

Ruled by Venus—the planet of love and beauty—Taurus' notoriously stubborn nature serves them very well in the luck department. "Taurus tends to have a strong sense of self-worth," Alfano says. They are very in tune with what they value and understand the power of living in the moment — both of which are very useful when it comes to attracting opportunities."

While some other signs in the zodiac are stuck on what's coming next, Taurus is more concerned about the here and now. "They know how to fully enjoy the present without overthinking about the future," Alfano continues. "Since they are able to fully enjoy the moment they are in, luck and opportunity flow easily to them. They have a natural understanding of money and can attract a lot of luck in this area of life in particular."

Leo (July 23-August 22) The Optimist

It should come as no surprise that Leo season is on this list. Ruled by the sun, Leos are natural-born leaders, shining bright in every room they’re in. According to Alfano, this sign not only exudes natural confidence but also raw optimism. Not only do people born in these months have a strong sense of self, but their belief in their abilities is also rarely shaken, making them super attractive to their desires.

This year, however, there will be a Mercury retrograde–a period where the planet Mercury appears to move backwards in the sky, affecting communication, technology, and travel–from July 18 to August 11, slowing things down in terms of receiving instant luck. But not to worry. Leo's warrior mentality and rock-solid self-assurance can carry them through any storm.

Ah, the outgoing Libra. This air sign is known for effortlessly being the center of attention, and this is precisely how their luck is obtained.

"Libra is ruled by Venus and attracts a lot of luck through their relationships and connections," Alfano says. "They are naturally charming and socially intelligent, which helps them align with the right people and opportunities."

Because of their natural people skills, Libras are especially good at reading a room, as well as using their connections around them to their benefit. They're also master manifestors, often able to attract their deepest desires with ease. "Their luck comes from aligning their energy with the thing they desire," Alfano notes. "They are the type of people who tend to be in the right place at the right time. Their natural energy is very attractive and they tend to be able to look at the bright side of any situation."

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) The Adventurer

Ruled by Jupiter, the sign of luck, Sagittarius is of course one of the luckiest seasons out of the year. Not only this, but Jupiter also represents “expansion and abundance,” Alfano says. “So people who are born during the season tend to be naturally positive, and they attract luck because they tend to look on the bright side of life.”

“Jupiter is a spiritual planet, so they tend to have a spiritual connection, which helps make them luckier, in a way, because they have a belief in something greater,” Alfano added.

Paired with their serendipitous nature and innate desire for freedom, those born under the Sagittarius umbrella have a “chin up, charge the mountain” mentality. Therefore, their luck is the product of their comfort level in asking for what they want, paired with their ambition.

If Pisces is good for one thing, it’s having their head in the clouds. Ruled by Jupiter, “Pisces is a very spiritual sign,” Alfano says. “Pisces is very connected to a belief in something bigger, maybe in a religious belief, or maybe they're spiritual people who believe in the universe.”

But that faith in something bigger is precisely why they’re so magnetic in life. “They believe that things will work out, and so they tend to just have a good outlook on life,” Alfano continued. “They don't get too caught up on the details, and they know that things will work out. They trust the process a lot.”

They're not just imaginative, though. In fact, they’re deeply emotional, compassionate, and intuitive, making them easily able to connect with others in order to reach their goals.
