Signs speak to you. What about your zodiac signs?
Sun, Moon and Rising: the foundation of your birth chart
A clover slipped into a wallet, a horseshoe above the door, a charm on the wrist: we have always surrounded ourselves with objects to catch luck’s eye.
Here are 12 lucky charms from around the world, the gestures that bring luck, and how to choose and activate yours.
✦
Every culture has its talismans. Here are the most widespread, and what they attract:
Luck
There is one in 10,000 clovers: it brings luck if found by chance. Legend says Eve took one when she left paradise. Its meaning.
Prosperity
Born in the 9th century, it is made of iron, a metal that repels evil spirits. Hang it above the door, ends pointing up, to keep luck in the home.
Fertility
An amulet since prehistoric times, in the Middle Ages it protected against dangers and spells, especially worn on the left arm.
Protection
The Turkish nazar sends the evil eye back to its sender: it hangs at the entrance, over the cradle, from the rearview mirror.
Protection
The Hand of Fatima, an open hand often with an eye, protects the home in North Africa and the Middle East. Spiritual symbols.
Prosperity
The Japanese beckoning cat attracts customers and money: left paw raised for visitors, right paw for fortune.
Protection
A little red horn from Naples, worn as a pendant against the evil eye; it should be given, never bought for yourself.
Wisdom
With its trunk raised, it brings luck and prosperity in India and Asia; place it facing the front door.
Rebirth
A symbol of the rising sun in ancient Egypt, it protects and accompanies new beginnings. See also the Eye of Horus.
Peaceful nights
From Native American peoples, its web catches bad dreams and lets the good ones through.
Protection
Born in West Africa, this small pouch or jewel holds elements chosen to protect the person who wears it.
Harmony
Lucky bamboo attracts serenity and prosperity; the number of its stalks changes its message. All about lucky bamboo.

No object is needed to call luck: some gestures are practiced by many of us.
Luck can also be read in nature: discover the lucky omens.

🌿 Embrace your spiritual journey with expert guidance & sacred tools
An amulet, worn on the body (a jewel, a coin, a ring), protects: it wards off the danger it was made for. A talisman acts: it attracts what you wish for, luck, love, success. The gris-gris, from West Africa, is a protective talisman prepared for one person.
A lucky charm brings all of this together: an object that makes us feel more confident, more positive, and helps us seize our chance.
✦ ✦
Choose the object that draws you, or the one that matches your intention: protection, love, money. Cleanse it with incense smoke or under the moon, then hold it in your hands as you make your wish.
Keep it close, in your pocket, your bag or on your bedside table, and think of it from time to time. Every sign has its own too: discover the lucky charm of your sign.
