Is there any truth in the connection between star signs and luck? Gala Bingo have enlisted the help of renowned astrologer Russell Grant to bring one lucky winner their own personalised horoscope. Russell has also given Gala an insight into exactly how your star sign can influence your personality.

Reading your star sign is something that many of us do to see what fortunes are headed our way. Sometimes the predictions are scarily accurate and other times it can seem like the words don’t relate to you at all. While not everyone will read their horoscope, most people will at least know what their star sign is.

Your horoscope is a star chart drawn up according to the time of your birth. The different star signs belong to the following groups:

Many people use their horoscope readings to help them look at their compatibility and to help make decisions in their everyday lives.

Russell provided a fascinating insight into the world of horoscopes, with advice that will be particularly useful for Gala Bingo players. For example, when asked whether there are specific lucky and unlucky star signs, Russell told Gala:

“It has been found that people born in the summer have a higher belief in being lucky as compared with those born in the winter months. Lucky people are generally positive in attitude, optimistic about the future, intuitive and willing to take the occasional risk. 

Russell partly agreed that some signs are ‘luckier’ than others, but also said that there is more to being lucky than when you were born — after all, as the saying goes ‘the harder you work, the luckier you get’.

“Some people seem to be born lucky, others make their own luck. Was Gemini Paul McCartney lucky to be in the right place at the right time at the start of his career? Or was it his musical and song writing talent, his versatility, his energy and positive attitude that earned him his success?”

It could be more to do with the personality traits associated with each star sign that make a person lucky or not, although according to Gala Bingo players, Aquarius is a very lucky sign, followed by Sagittarius.

Gala Bingo are offering the chance for one player to have a detailed personalised horoscope read by Russell Grant, which could help to bring them luck and prosperity for the coming year. The full interview with Russell can also be read on the Gala Bingo website.
