It comes as no surprise that astrology is mathematical — degrees, angles, aspects, etc. — but did you know that every planet is associated with a specific number? (The sun is associated with the numbers one and four; the moon is associated with the numbers two and seven; and so on.) This is because numbers hold a certain energy, just like the planets do, which means that your zodiac sign has a lucky number that goes with it, based on the planet you’re ruled by.

Here’s every zodiac sign’s lucky number:

Aries’ Lucky Number Is 9

Nine is the number of completion. Though completing projects isn’t your forte, you’re always eager to leave something behind to begin something new, which is exactly why nine is your lucky number. While this number isn’t one of finality in your case, it represents your Mars-ruled warrior spirit, and your desire to charge forward with courage and strength.

Taurus’ Lucky Number Is 6

As a Venus-ruled sign, Taurus’ lucky number obviously represents beauty, grace, and romance. Six is considered to be a highly magnetic number, making it easy for you to attract love and connection. It also allows you to tap into your artistic energy, and gives you the strength to birth new creative pursuits.

Gemini’s Lucky Number Is 5

Five is the number that’s affiliated with your ruling planet, Mercury, since it aids in good communication and strong intellect. As a Gemini, you’re always eager to engage in mentally stimulating conversation, and the number five allows you to process and share information with ease. If you see this number, odds are you’re on the right path.

Cancer’s Lucky Number Is 2

You’re always looking for ways to care for others, and the number two symbolizes that perfectly. As the number all about helping others, two probably pops up when you’re leaning into your motherly nature.

Fun fact: The moon (aka your ruling planet) changes signs roughly every two days, so the luck from this number definitely checks out.

Leo’s Lucky Number Is 1

Leo is the sun-ruled sign of the zodiac, so of course the number of independence, strength, and leadership is lucky for them. If you see this number pop up, you can trust that you’re leaning into your chart ruler’s energy. You may feel the pressure of having to be the best at what you do, but you make it look easy.

Virgo’s Lucky Number Is 5

As the detail-oriented, communicator of the zodiac, Virgo’s lucky number — like fellow Mercury-ruled Gemini’s — is undoubtedly five. This number strengthens your organization skills, and allows you to share information among your peers with ease. The number five also inclines you to spring into action to be of service, something that you do best.

Libra’s Lucky Number Is 6

Six is a number that rules over pleasure, creativity, and unity, so if you see this number, odds are you’re aligned with your innate Venusian nature. It’s also an even number, symbolizing balance, something you’re always striving to obtain.

Scorpio’s Lucky Number Is 9

As a Mars-ruled sign, you’re always looking to take action, which is why your lucky number is nine. Nine is the number of action, drive, and success, and as a Scorpio, there are few things more important to you than accomplishing your goals. If the number nine pops up, odds are you’re leaning into your Mars energy in the best way possible.

Sagittarius’ Lucky Number Is 3

Good things come in threes, so of course this number would be associated with the planet of luck (aka your ruling planet), Jupiter. You’re all about embracing freedom, hope, and opportunity, something that the number three aligns with perfectly. If you see the number three, it means that you’re on the path that prioritizes knowledge, wisdom, and faith.

Capricorn’s Lucky Number Is 8

In numerology, the number eight is associated with Saturn, representing wealth, power, and abundance. As the goal-oriented sign of the zodiac, you always keep your eyes on the prize, so if you see the number eight, it indicates that you’re close to reaching your goals.

Aquarius’ Lucky Number Is 8

Like Capricorn, Aquarius’ lucky number is eight, as it’s associated with your ruling planet, Saturn; it symbolizes stability, hard work, and resilience, all things you prioritize. As an air sign, you’re all about following the rules, and doing whatever it takes to ensure that you’re on the path to success. When you see the number eight, it means you’re on the right path, just remember that you’re more than capable of reaching your goals.

Pisces’ Lucky Number Is 3

As one of the Jupiter-ruled signs, Pisces’ lucky number is three. It represents abundance and symbolizes the mind, body, and soul, so it perfectly aligns with your intuitive, empathetic nature. If you see the number three, it means that you’re honoring yourself, and that you can trust your intuition. It could also indicate that good things are coming your way.
