hm that is possible...i've heard some stories like that. in chinese culture there's this black magic called gong tao. i think it's like voodoo or manipulation. my mom told me in china that some people can get your time and date of birth or other things tied with your "fate" and they can manipulate you and your luck. or that you can "catch" an evil spirit. i can't translate word for word, but it's like if you're having a bad day and you end up going to a cemetery or somewhere that somebody recently died, an unfriendly spirit can latch on and you might get cursed. there's some stuff about pissing off spirits too and you get cursed. supposedly there are some things you can do to get it reversed, but idk maybe you can try reversing your luck if you believe in it. i'm not sure how much i believe in curses, but my mom is making me try them.
