I’m trying to find the luckiest Tarot card. The card that almost always says good fortune.
I keep getting drawn to the Sun card as the ultimate luck-bringer. Something about its pure, radiant energy that just screams abundance and success. feeling into it now Though I have to admit, the Wheel of Fortune definitely has that classic “lucky break” vibe, especially when it shows up during tough times as a reminder that everything shifts eventually. The Star card brings this quiet, sustained luck that builds over time rather than the dramatic lottery-win energy we usually associate with fortune.
Maybe the “luckiest” card is actually whichever one appears when we most need its specific medicine, you know? The Nine of Cups has brought me some pretty amazing manifestations, too. That wish-fulfillment energy is no joke.

There’s a big difference between lucky cards and fortunate ones. Lucky cards like Wheel of Fortune are more about random chance. But fortunate cards like Six of Wands show success you worked for.
I read somewhere that rich Italian families in the Renaissance had these special tarot decks made with actual gold leaf on the Ace of Coins. The idea was that touching real gold during readings would attract wealth. There are still people who hunt down old Italian decks specifically for financial readings. Something about the vintage printing process supposedly preserves the energy better. Not sure if I buy it, but the old decks are pretty cool to look at.
People usually stress the major arcana when it comes to luck.
In playing card readings, though, the Ace of Hearts is often seen as the ultimate fortune card, representing clear emotional satisfaction without the layers of tarots cups suit. What I find puzzling is that the court cards in tarot arent often described as ‘lucky.’
In standard decks, Kings and Queens typically indicate people who could bring opportunities.
My mentor used to talk about The Star card a lot. Every time it shows up in a reading, I get this feeling of hope. Something about it just feels reassuring, like things are going to work out.
9 of Cups upright! That’s a really good card to pull. The universe is basically on your side right now. This is the card that shows up when I’m shuffling at 3am asking random questions like ‘will my houseplant survive?’ and the deck just shows me that things are working out fine. Timing is good and luck is flowing your way. This is the wish card, so whatever you’re hoping for has a decent chance of happening.
Just pulled a great card like the World or Wheel of Fortune? That’s cool, but don’t hold your breath waiting for something to happen right away.
Even when the cards show good stuff coming, it usually takes a while, could be weeks or even months before you actually see anything change. Tarot kind of does its own thing timing-wise. You really just have to be patient and maybe journal about it or something to track what happens.
The Nine of Cups is often linked to waves of luck, starting with a sense of inner peace and later leading to wishes coming true but more over time rather than winning a lottery ticket kind of vibes.
At my local tarot group, the Sun and Wheel of Fortune are usually seen as the good cards. But lately we’ve been discussing how they might lead to overconfidence. Several people have mentioned getting these cards and then missing challenges because they assumed things would just work out. It’s been a regular topic at our monthly meetups.
Drew the Star during a bad patch. I’d already thrown runes and done I Ching, trying to get some clarity on things. Wanted that immediate hope boost you’re supposed to get from the Star. Instead it felt like getting Jera, just reminded me how long things take and how much patience you need. All my divination tools were basically saying wait it out. The universe has its own schedule.
The World for sure. It’s that card where everything finally comes together.
You finish what you started and things work out. The funny thing is, when The World shows up, you often get The Fool right after. Like finishing one thing and immediately starting something else. Can’t just enjoy the win for a minute. Still, I’d pick it. Everything falls into place… work stuff, relationships, whatever you’ve been working on.
Even my plants stopped dying when this card showed up in a reading once.
