Whatever plans you have for the year, whether it’s getting down on one knee, buying a house, or purchasing a lottery ticket, there are some days when you’re most likely to have luck on your side.
Astrologer and tarot reader Inbaal Hongiman has revealed 2025’s luckiest days, explaining how those who are tying the knot this year should aim for their big day to take place on 28 February.
When buying a house this year, 12 May will be the best day for it – as the sign of Taurus will bring feelings of ‘stability’ and ‘security’.
Inbaal also revealed there will be a full moon on 12 May, with no major planets in retrograde – which ensures no unexpected obstacles on the day.
Speaking on behalf of FruitySlots.com, Inbaal said: “Some dates in 2025 will be the luckiest for love, and some are the luckiest for cash, whereas others are great for travel.
“There’s a lot of talk about Mercury retrograde and the problems it brings, but it’s not just Mercury that causes it.
“Every planet goes through retrograde with some regularity. Troubles and misfortune can befall us when planets go through retrograde.
“The retrogrades are quite common, with Mercury, the planet of communication, turning its heel 3-4 times a year, and both Jupiter and Saturn going through retrograde for around four months every year.”
Adding that there are only a few days of 2025 when no planets get in the way, which are 24 February, 2 March, 13 April, 5 May.
The luckiest day to get married: 28 February
Inbaal said: “This date, during romantic Pisces season, when the Mercury planet of communication is also in Pisces, is a wonderful time for saying ‘I do’. The sign of Pisces is sensitive and believes in true love and commitment.”
The 28 February is during the new moon in Pisces, which is great for new beginnings. And during this time, both Saturn and Neptune are also in Pisces.
The luckiest day to buy a house: 12 May
The best time to buy a house is during Taurus season, as this sign is stable, secure and loves feeling safe in its own home.
The 12 May is also a full moon which enhances good luck, and no major planets are in retrograde, so there should be no unexpected obstacles.
The luckiest day to buy a lottery ticket: 24 June
Two of the luckiest bodies in the sky work in conjunction on this day, with Inbaal explaining: “Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, growth and expansion, is in conjunction with the Sun, meaning they’re near each other.
“The Sun’s influence on luck and positivity is self-evident. Its warm rays bestow fortune on whatever is nearest.”
On this day, the Sun and Jupiter are in the home-loving sign of Cancer, which means that this good fortune remains close to home, so it is perfect for a lottery ticket bought locally or online.
The luckiest day to ask out your crush: 15 August
Inbaal said: “In order to ask out your crush, you need confidence and you need to be able to show off. Showing off is a speciality of Leo season, and on this day, Mercury, the planet of communication, is in Leo, too.
“It is a Friday, a day for Freya, the Goddess of love. Venus, the planet of love, is in the sensitive sign of Cancer on that day, encouraging a romantic mindset.”
The luckiest day to propose: 23 August
On 23 August, Venus, the planet of love, is in the sensitive sign of Cancer, which means that both the proposal and answer will be given from the heart.
This is also the day of the new moon, is a wonderful time for beginnings, and wise Virgo will help you make the right decision.
Inbaal added: “It is the first day of Virgo season, a time for organising, a great time to tidy up our lives.
“On this day, Mercury’s planet of communication is going direct, so the proposal will be received positively, the way it was intended.”
The luckiest day to go for a job interview: 21 September
The new moon in Virgo makes 21 September a great time to go for a new role, as the sensible sign of Virgo can showcases its neat and organised persona, and the new moon is a perfect chance for a new start.
Inbaal said: “Venus, the planet of the home is also in Virgo on that day.
“In addition, Mercury, the planet of communication and Mars, the planet of passion, are in the balanced sign of Libra, which fosters the ability to get along with a wide spectrum of people.
“Since this is a Sunday, and not many job interviews take place on that day, do your best to schedule your interview for the earliest available time slot on Monday, in order to ensure that you carry those energies forward.”
The luckiest day to ask for a promotion: 15 December
On this day, Mars, the planet of passion, leaves fiery Sagittarius and journeys into business-minded Capricorn. Multiple other planets remain in Sagittarius, and it is still Sagittarius season. This sign is linked with growth and expansion, so it fits well with promotions.
The free-spirited nature of Sagittarius also helps you give off the impression that if you didn’t get the promotion, you could easily go elsewhere. It’s a great time to ask for that promotion, but the positive answer won’t come back until January.
