How Each Of The Zodiac Signs Save Money
There's a talent for saving money that not everyone has.
getty There are people who are great at making money, and there are those who are skilled at saving it. But those who have the ability to do both are the lucky ones. If you have a ton of money, you may have an easy time learning how to save money, as opposed to someone who lives paycheck by paycheck.
However, there are those whose spending increases as their finances increase. If you’re spending money as fast as you make it, you may not have much in the way of savings, and one day, you could find yourself in a bad financial way.
Everybody has their own way of staying financially stable, and when it comes to how the zodiac signs save money, it all depends on astrology and your personality. How you feel about money is a very personal thing, so it makes sense that our zodiac signs would have some influence on how we save... or don’t.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries' biggest danger to saving money is impulsive buys. If they're on a site and there are a ton of bargains, they won't be able to stop from buying them.
The best way for Aries to save money is not to spend it, and to do that, they need to step away from the tempting product and think for a moment before they take action. Sometimes (usually), there's a good reason that something is so cheap. Resist those impulses, Aries!
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus are mostly financially sound, unless it's some kind of luxury item or self-indulgence that they absolutely must have. The best thing for Taurus is to put their usual good savings instincts to use.
If there's something they want, they need to set up a fund, and when they've saved enough money to buy the item, then and only then do they give themselves permission to buy it. When it's a reward for their patience and hard work, the purchase means more anyway.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
If a Gemini is single without any responsibilities, saving money isn't one of their priorities. But when parenting and partnering come into the mix and savings becomes important for everyone's future, Gemini takes it extremely seriously.
They'll set up automatic savings for college funds, family vacations, and even retirement, and they'll get into deep discussions with people about the best way to save and grow those savings.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers are hardworking and they expect their money to be as well, so they save, invest, and watch their money grow. Family, security, and a comfortable home are some of Cancer's priorities, and they would never do anything to jeopardize them.
If anything, Cancer may be too reluctant to spend any of their money. They need to embrace a happy balance between saving and rational, healthy spending.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos are very good with money and saving. They're extremely wise about their finances and responsible. However, they do love to buy expensive gifts for the people they love, and they sometimes can go over the top with how they spend.
Leos love making people happy and they love buying the kind of gift that gets a huge reaction. They need to budget their spending on others, or maybe try to find some discounts.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos are fantastic at saving money. They do all the legwork before they spend on something, and they look at the big picture. If something is a large investment up front but pays off over time, that's a smart purchase.
Virgos learn about all the pros and cons of a purchase before they make a move. While they're great at investments, they can be reluctant to invest in themselves. So, if Virgo wants to learn a new skill or start a business, they should believe they're worth it.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libras can be good savers; they try not to impulsively buy, they have savings, and they're generally pretty responsible unless their friends are involved. It's not unlike Libra to treat a whole group of friends to dinner or to buy many rounds of drinks.
When Libra throws a party, they don't allow anyone to financially help pay for it. Libras need to know that they don't need to buy anyone's love, because they already have it.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios are good at saving money. They don't spend casually, and they tend to be a bit frugal.
Since Scorpios can be a bit distrusting, they may not get the kind of advice they need to help their money grow. It's no shame to go to a financial advisor or tax consultant. Asking questions is good and it doesn't take away from your own brilliance.
Tax laws change frequently, and if you're not up to date on them, then you may be paying more money than you have to.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
YOLO is what Sagittarius lives their life by, and having experiences, traveling, and living for today doesn't mean that saving money is a top priority.
Sagittarians really need to set up a rainy-day fund or some kind of financial cushion that they can fall back on, because things happen all the time and you have to have some money set aside.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Everybody bow to the royalty of saving money. You know they had a savings account in grade school.
Capricorns have been setting the foundation for their financial future most of their lives. They have savings accounts, investments accounts, and retirement accounts. If one of their accounts isn't paying off as well as Capricorn thinks it should, they'll immediately close it and open another that has better dividends.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarius is okay with saving money, but they do love any new technology and they're going to buy it for themselves as quickly as they can. Aquarians won't wait until the price comes down; they want it now.
If Aquarius used a little patience and wait, they could still get the new devices they want and save a little money in the process.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces are so unselfish and giving that they'd give all their money away to charity or people in need. Pisces need to know that it's okay to put themselves first, especially in terms of finances.
Take care of yourself and then you can be generous (within reason) to others. It's great that you gave so much money to that no kill shelter, but not if you can't pay your rent this month.
