The Secrets to Attracting Good Fortune for All 12 Zodiac Signs

Aries

If you’re an Aries and money has felt tight lately, give this a try: Gather three one-yuan coins. On a full-moon Tuesday, go outside and stand in the moonlight. Hold one coin in your left hand and two in your right, and quietly wish for better finances. After about 10 minutes, find a tall tree and toss the coins up toward the treetop—the higher they go, the stronger your money luck will be.

Taurus

Prepare a pink handkerchief, preferably silk—a soft one is best for attracting romance. Place two rose petals, six red beans, and a button from an old piece of clothing inside, fold it into a triangle, and tie it with red thread. This becomes your dating good-luck charm. Keep it in the bag you carry on dates, and things should go smoothly. After the date, you can place it under your pillow as a protective charm.

Gemini

When facing a rival in love, Geminis should rely on wits, not force. Try this swing-wish ritual: On a rainy night at 11 p.m., write your rival’s name on a long strip of white paper, then tie the paper to the swing’s rope (men on the left, women on the right). As you swing, silently wish for your rival to drift away from your beloved. Then cut the paper off the swing; when the rain clears, your wish will be set in motion.

Cancer

Cancers hoping to invite good fortune can try this before bed: polish a spoon, hold it by the handle, breathe onto the concave side, then trace a circle with your finger while reciting: “Goddess of Love, Goddess of Beauty, God of Wisdom, please let my beloved sense my love, and grant us a wonderful fate!” Flip the spoon so the convex side faces you and repeat the words. Finally, place the spoon on your forehead and let the magic work as you fall asleep.

Leo

What frustrates Leos most is having so much to tell someone they like, only to get tongue-tied in person. Try this luck-boosting trick: Before a date, write what you most want to say on a piece of paper and tie it to your wrist with a red ribbon (men on the left, women on the right). When you hold your partner’s hand with the ribboned hand, your feelings will come through more easily.

Virgo

Virgos have many ways to attract wealth; here’s a simple one called the “Wealth Bagua.” Take a large piece of red cloth and paint a Bagua symbol on it with a goat-hair brush. After the ink dries, flip the cloth over, place some salt and a small amount of five grains (rice, soybeans, mung beans, red beans, and black beans) in the center, wrap it up, tie it with red thread, and hang it in a spot in your living room where it catches the breeze. It’s said to draw in prosperity whenever people pass by or the wind blows.

Libra

Feeling overwhelmed by blossoming romances and not sure what to do? Try this. Late at night, take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Then write down the pros and cons of each romantic interest on paper. Review your list carefully and feel free to cross out anything that doesn’t hold up. Finally, tally the pros and cons: the one with more pros is the promising match, while the one with more cons likely isn’t right for you.

Scorpio

Good health is the greatest wealth. To boost well-being, Scorpios can try this: cut a piece of white cardstock into a small circle (circles symbolize beauty), write “Health” in red ink on one side and your name on the other, then place it in a small cloth pouch. If you have an incense altar, set it there and light incense daily for at least a week—the longer, the better. You can also tuck the pouch under your pillow for at least seven days.

Sagittarius

If you want to apologize to your partner after a fight but can’t find the words, don’t worry. Prepare a purple or blue satin ribbon and, using a goose-quill pen dipped in ink, write your names on it. Make a silent wish for reconciliation, then tie the ribbon in a bow around a vase to symbolize your renewed bond. Before you know it, you’ll be back together. Once your relationship is restored, remove the ribbon and burn it.

Capricorn

If Capricorns want to boost their luck, they can make a simple kite themselves (if you’re worried about the craftsmanship, buying one is fine, though the effect may be lighter). The shape and design aren’t restricted, but avoid anything too unconventional. Carve your name on the back, tie a red string to it, and hang it in a prominent spot in your bedroom. It will enhance your luck while also decorating the room.

Aquarius

A strong body comes from healthy eating, and consistent exercise matters too. Here’s a great health-boosting ritual for Aquarius to try after working out: Every morning after you wake up, climb a nearby hill (or, if there isn’t one, go to a nearby rooftop) and shout three times, “I am healthy! I am happy! I am full of energy!” You’ll feel filled with confidence and vitality.

Pisces

Do Pisceans often catch colds in winter? If so, it’s time to boost your health luck. Find a piece of green cloth, draw a U shape on it, and stitch along the U with white thread. Then write your name inside the U with a black pen and recite: “Bi Bo Si Li Jia, Bi Bo Si Li Jia.” Fold the cloth and place it in your usual clothing cabinet—and you’re all set.
