The claim that according to astrologers, 4/11 is the luckiest day of 2023 is true. It landed on this day in 2023 and is known to astrologers as the "Day of Miracles" where the Sun and Jupiter meet at the same point in the sky. Next year, it will land on May 18th.

On April 11th, 2023, the sun and Jupiter converged to create a "cazimi," a phenomenon in which two planets connect at the exact same degree.

Jupiter, according to astrologers, represents luck, bountifulness, and expansion, while the sun works to "radiate" that energy. For those who believe in astrology and manifestation, April 11th is, therefore, the luckiest day of the year based on astrological placement.

According to an article from Yahoo, astrologer Lucy Stardust claims that April 11th is the luckiest day of 2023 due to planetary alignments forming a "cazimi". The article concludes with a statement claiming "Disclaimer: Astrology is not based in science. These posts are not intended to act as a directive." In the realm of astrology, this is true.

Astrologists do consider April 11th to be the luckiest day of 2023. April 11th was the day in which Jupiter and the Sun aligned. Both are seen as lucky planetary bodies.

According to astrologers, this claim is true.

In a recent Today article, astrologer Lisa Stardust described April 11th, 2023 as "a convergence of two lucky planetary boundaries." This astrological event is known as a cazimi, which occurs when two planets connect with each other at the same degree. On April 11th, the sun and Jupiter aligned, creating "good vibes" for the signs. While Stardust's statements are intriguing, the end of the article does disclaim that astrology is not based on science.

There is no scientific basis to determine that a specific date, such as April 11, 2023, is the luckiest day of the year. Concepts of luck and fortunate days are often subjective and culturally influenced, and they vary from person to person. While some people may consider certain dates or days of the week to be luckier than others, this is not supported by empirical evidence or universally applicable.
