The Stars and Luck: Russell Grant on Astrology, Bingo, and Cosmic Fortune

For decades, Russell Grant has been a trusted name in astrology, offering cosmic insights that blend wisdom with his signature charm. But can the stars truly influence luck? Do certain zodiac signs have a better shot at winning games of chance? And what does astrology say about strategy, intuition, and fortune?

WhichBingo wanted to get to the bottom of this. We sat down with the iconic astrologer to chat about all things luck, bingo and celestial serendipity.

Can astrology determine if someone is naturally lucky?

Ah, if only the stars could sprinkle a little extra fairy dust on some of us! But, alas, astrology doesn’t quite work like that. However, one cosmic clue lies in the placement of Jupiter, the great benefic, the planet of opportunity, expansion, and good fortune!

If lucky old Jupiter is dancing delightfully in your natal chart – especially in houses linked to wealth, success, or adventure – you may well be someone who always seems to land on their feet.

But remember, luck is as much about attitude as astrology, and even the best-placed Jupiter can’t help if you never buy a raffle ticket!

Do certain star signs have a higher chance of winning in games of luck?

No zodiac sign gets a VIP pass to Lady Luck’s casino, I’m afraid! But if we’re talking about planetary influences, it’s Jupiter again who leads the charge, with Venus – the planet of money and pleasure – adding a dash of charm and attraction.

If these two celestial cash machines are sitting pretty in your chart, you might find fortune winking at you more often than most.

But luck isn’t just about planets; it’s about playing the right hand when opportunity comes knocking. 

Do people born under certain signs approach bingo or luck-based games differently?

“Oh, most certainly!” Russell exclaims. “Each zodiac sign has a unique way of approaching luck.”. Let us break it down for you.

• Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) – “These are the thrill-seekers! They’ll throw themselves into the game, buzzing with excitement whether they win or lose.”
• Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) – “They’ll probably have a strategy (yes, even for bingo) and keep an eye on their pennies.”
• Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) – “They’ll enjoy the social side, chatting more than concentrating.”
• Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) – “might play by intuition, sensing their “lucky numbers” in the air.”

However Russell notes that if you really want to know how you’ll fare, “check your Ascendant—your personal cosmic fingerprint, which shapes how you approach the world!”

So next time you’re playing Bingo or Casino games, make a note of your fellow players star sign.

Are lucky numbers real in astrology?

Now here’s where it gets interesting! There are planetary numbers that correspond with celestial bodies – like four for Jupiter, five for Venus, and six for Saturn – but these aren’t the same as “lucky numbers” in a sun sign sense.

If you really want a number tailored to your stars, look at your chart’s dominant planet and its numerological connection. But let’s be honest – sometimes the luckiest number is the one that pops into your head right before you mark that bingo card!

In your expert opinion, which zodiac signs are the luckiest?

Ah, wouldn’t we all love to know the secret to cosmic fortune? The truth is, every sign starts from the same celestial square one – no one gets a golden ticket at birth!

That said, some signs are naturally more optimistic (hello, Sagittarius) and more determined to seize opportunities (Gemini, I’m looking at you)!

Luck is a mixture of timing, action, and a sprinkle of starry magic. If you believe you’re lucky, the universe might just agree!

Which zodiac sign do you think would be the most strategic when playing games of luck, and why?

“Strategy? Oh, now you’re speaking Virgo and Capricorn language!” Russell grins.

If there’s a system, a spreadsheet, or a way to track past results, these two will be all over it. Scorpios, the master of mystery, may not reveal their tactics but will have some up their sleeve.

However, luck is a wild beast – sometimes the carefree, spontaneous signs like Aquarius, Gemini or Sagittarius stumble into success while the planners are still double-checking their numbers! It all depends on how the cosmic dice roll…

Are there any historical or celebrity examples of people whose star sign aligns with their reputation for luck?

“Oh, plenty of famous folk have stars that shine as brightly as their fortunes” Russell reveals.

“Take Oprah Winfrey (Aquarius)—Jupiter in her chart brought expansion and incredible opportunities. Or Warren Buffett (Virgo)—a meticulous strategist with strong planetary placements for wealth.”

But he’s quick to add, “Luck isn’t just about being born under a certain sign—it’s about how you use your cosmic gifts.”

If someone wanted to maximize their luck using astrology, what would you suggest they do?

Now we’re getting into the juicy bit!

First, get your natal chart done – this will show you where Jupiter, Venus, and other key planets are hiding their golden nuggets of luck.

Then, work with the astrological cycles – play when Jupiter is favouring you, act when Venus is blessing your finances, and trust your instincts when Neptune is giving you that mystical nudge.

And finally, keep a positive mindset – if you expect good things, the universe might just conspire to bring them your way! But let’s face it, my dears – if astrology held the key to winning the lottery, I’d be calling this from my private island by now!
