The stars may bless you with a double dose of good luck this Saturday.

May 18 could be your 'Luckiest Day of the Year', according to astrologists.

The specific calendar date is meant to bring good fortune to almost everyone, and in western astrology, it is considered the "luckiest day of the year."

Kyle Thomas, an astrologer for People Magazine explained that it's because "the stars are aligned more beautifully than any other time in 2024."

"Luck, miracles, blessings, breakthroughs, and happy news could all be yours now."

Additionally, the Sun and Jupiter will conjunct in the sky, which is really what makes this day "extremely rare," said Thomas, highlighting the phenomenal conjuction that usually occurs once a year.

Astrologers from ancient times frequently referred to the planetary link-up as "a day of miracles," and the best part about it is that all zodiac signs can make use of this energy.

The day tends to be viewed as more strategic rather than "waiting for what the universe plans to bring to you."

"Take chances, start new initiatives, ask someone out, and tell a loved one how you feel," he suggests.

"The big breakthrough you've been waiting for could be here."
