Lucky numbers by zodiac sign
Aries Lucky Numbers
Aries is the first sign of the Western zodiac, covering birthdays from March 21 to April 19. It is a Fire sign, and astrology gives it Mars as its ruling planet. On this page you will find the numbers that the Chaldean, or Cheiro, tradition links to Mars, along with a short note on where that idea comes from and how the numbers are worked out.
In that tradition Mars carries the number 9. Every number from 1 to 49 whose digits reduce to 9 is treated as an Aries number, which gives 9, 18, 27, 36 and 45. These are cultural associations rather than predictions. They will not change the outcome of a draw, a game or a decision, but many people enjoy using them as a personal touch.

Why Mars points to the number 9
The planet-number scheme popularised by the palmist and numerologist Cheiro in the early twentieth century pairs each of the classical bodies with a digit: the Sun with 1, the Moon with 2, Jupiter with 3, Mercury with 5, Venus with 6, Saturn with 8 and Mars with 9. Uranus and Neptune were later given 4 and 7.
Because Aries is ruled by Mars, the scheme hands it the 9. To widen that single digit into a usable set, we list each number up to 49 that reduces to 9 when you add its digits together. For example, 36 becomes 3 + 6 = 9.
Aries at a glance
Dates: March 21 to April 19 (exact cusp days can shift by a day depending on the year and time zone). Element: Fire. Ruling planet: Mars. Planet number: 9. Lucky numbers from 1 to 49: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45.
Astrology traditionally describes Aries as direct, energetic and quick to start things. That character sketch belongs to the same symbolic system as the numbers and is offered in the same spirit.
Today's Aries set
The page also shows a set of six numbers from 1 to 49 labelled as today's Aries set. It is built from the date and the sign name with a fixed formula, so everyone who picks Aries sees the same numbers on the same day, and the set changes at midnight.
Nothing about the stars or your chart goes into it. It is a repeatable bit of fun, handy if you and a friend want to compare notes or use the same set for a game.
Frequently asked questions
What are the lucky numbers for Aries?
Following the Chaldean or Cheiro planet tradition, Aries is ruled by Mars, which carries the number 9. Every number from 1 to 49 that reduces to 9 is included, so the list is 9, 18, 27, 36 and 45. This is a symbolic association, not a forecast of any result.
Why is 9 the Aries number?
In Cheiro's system each planet has a digit, and Mars was assigned 9. Since astrology names Mars as the ruler of Aries, that digit passes to the sign. Other numerology schools use different assignments, so you may see other numbers quoted elsewhere.
Will Aries lucky numbers help me win the lottery?
No. In a fair lottery every combination has exactly the same chance, so numbers chosen for symbolic reasons are no more likely to come up than any others. Use them only if you enjoy the personal meaning, and only spend what you can comfortably afford.
What is today's Aries set?
It is six numbers from 1 to 49 generated from today's date and the word Aries with a fixed formula. Anyone choosing Aries today gets the same six, and a new set appears tomorrow. It is a light-hearted extra and is not based on any astrological reading.
Which dates count as Aries?
Aries usually runs from March 21 to April 19. The exact moment the Sun enters the sign varies slightly from year to year, so people born on March 20 or 21, or April 19 or 20, may want to check an ephemeris for their birth year.
For entertainment and education. Random numbers cannot predict or improve the result of a draw, and numerology and astrology are traditions, not science.
