While the midway point of the spring semester is approaching, we’ve also entered the month of luck. 

Let’s be honest — we all rely a little bit on luck, whether we’re waiting in a traumatic Ticketmaster queue or praying for a job interview. However, your zodiac sign can make you more likely to experience certain types of luck, from financial gains to personal improvements. So, let’s count your lucky stars and see what good fortune is coming your way.

Aries: March 21-April 19

You’ve been working toward a goal. It could be landing an important position at a job or club, finishing a major academic project or getting eight hours of sleep a night. But whatever it is, a breakthrough is on its way. This might be hard to hear, but you often take setbacks and failures really hard, allowing obstacles to discourage you from achieving long-term progress. I advise you to keep going — a stroke of luck is on its way. 

Try: Pushing forward

Avoid: Standing still

Taurus: April 20-May 20

You’re moving up in the world, and it’s time to take advantage of the new doors opening up in your life. Anticipate a promotion this month — you can expect to be assigned new responsibilities at work or receive a new leadership position offer. These exciting possibilities also extend to your social life, where your current talking stage might just upgrade to a real relationship. 

Try: Mobility

Avoid: Rejecting change

Gemini: May 21-June 20

This month, you’re going to meet someone you really click with. Lean into this connection, and a new, rewarding friendship will blossom. While Geminis are social, they’re also masters at closing themselves off emotionally. I encourage you to fight off the urge to put up walls and open up to someone new — a lifelong friend awaits.  

Try: Remaining open

Avoid: Emotional unavailability 

Cancer: June 21-July 22

I heard through the grapevine that you’re undergoing a spiritual transformation right now. Lucky for you, the planets aligned to put you in a prime position to embrace self-care and inner peace, so utilize this time to reflect. And by self-care, I don’t just mean yoga and bubble baths — I mean evaluating what you really want, because it’s time to focus on yourself.

Try: Looking inward

Avoid: Unfulfilling commitments

Leo: July 23-Aug. 22

I see green in your future. Not four-leaf clovers or leprechauns, though — I’m talking about cold, hard cash. Whether it’s in the form of a raise at work, a random Venmo interaction or inheritance from a relative you didn’t even know existed, your finances are about to flourish. Just remember, you’re predisposed to overspending, so try your best to save some of your new funds for a rainy day.

Try: Posting your Venmo on Instagram and seeing what happens

Avoid: Overspending

Virgo: Aug. 23-Sept. 22

The stars are telling me you have an insane job offer on the way. I know your summer internship spreadsheet is color-coded, and you’ve applied for at least 30 jobs by now with few responses. Most companies have probably ghosted you or sent a generic rejection letter, making it easy to fall down the LinkedIn rabbit hole. However, you are on the verge of receiving a beautiful interview invite that will result in a glorious job offer. So keep applying and trying — the universe is on your side. 

Try: Keeping momentum

Avoid: Letting rejection hold you down

Libra: Sept. 23-Oct. 22

You might be a major procrastinator, but against all odds, this month will be a productive one. Filled with a sudden urge to check off your to-do list and catch up on missing assignments, you’re ready to take on your course load with vigor and confidence. Thankfully, your newfound motivation has come just in time for midterms, a time when you’re usually watching brain rot TikToks instead of writing papers worth 50 percent of your grade. 

Try: Embracing the grind

Avoid: Wasting time

Scorpio: Oct. 23-Nov. 21

Although you try to resist it, love is in the air, and a life-altering romance is about to come knocking on your door. Don’t miss out on this opportunity, even though you and I both know your stubborn nature can prevent you from opening yourself up to love. You probably think you’re above falling for someone, but in reality, you love a good romance novel or cheesy fanfiction just as much as the rest of us.

Try: Opening up 

Avoid: Acting aloof   

Sagittarius: Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Ruled by Jupiter — which is known for being the luckiest planet — Sagittarius is the most auspicious zodiac sign. This month will not only bring good news but also lead you to a new, fulfilling community. As an adventurous person, you’re always hungry to meet people and explore different interests, and soon you’ll have an opportunity to do just that. Expect to be warmly welcomed into a school club or an already-established friend group, and be sure to accept the invite with open arms. 

Try: Taking chances 

Avoid: Isolation

Capricorn: Dec. 22-Jan. 19

You always have a lot on your plate, and even though spring break is approaching, I know you’re still wishing for a day off. But you can count your lucky stars, because a moment of rest is coming your way. In the next few weeks, you’ll get some time to yourself — it may come in the form of a professor canceling class, an extension on a big assignment or your boss giving you some time off. Whatever it is, do not take that time to do other work. Instead, take your daily chaos down a notch with a magnificent nap. 

Try: Resting

Avoid: Working

Aquarius: Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Stellar grades are coming your way this midterm season. If you put in the work and lock in during your study sessions, you are bound to see results this month. You tend to be a pessimist, but your urge to assume the worst is holding you back. To receive the high grades the universe knows you deserve, you also have to believe that you’ll get them. It’s called manifestation — it might be a placebo effect, but it works. How do you think I passed Spanish in high school? It involved a lot of positive thinking, many overpriced crystals and a nauseating volume of incense.

Try: Manifesting

Avoid: Negative thinking

Pisces: Feb. 19-March 20

You crash out when things don’t go your way, and you’ve convinced yourself that you’re naturally unlucky. But the universe wouldn’t do that — you’ve simply just adopted a woe-is-me mentality. Remember, you are lucky enough to be gifted with a trait that other signs long to possess: boundless creativity. This month, harness your imagination and you will find yourself working on an exciting new project or business venture. 

Try: Embracing your strengths

Avoid: Playing the victim
