MONEY AND YOU

Aries - The Ram

21st March - 20th April

Dynamic Aries is the epitome of “self-made success”.  Challenges are met with a pioneering enthusiasm that inspires others, which is often why Arians find themselves in the role of team leader.  You’re willing to work hard.  Mind you, that’s just as well!  Accompanying your tremendous need for wealth, power and status is a tremendous need to spend.  Let’s face it, Aries; you can be a dedicated shopaholic.  An impulsive attitude or lack of attention to small print can also jeopardise business deals.   Upside?  You’re extremely generous — and don’t mind sharing.  In your company, no one goes without.

Financial Year Ahead

Jupiter kick-starts the financial year with a surge of energy and Mars is on hand to add determination. Suddenly, going that extra mile won’t seem so unsettling. Venus throws in some luck for good measure so, until November, real financial progress can be made.  Better still?  Although there's no guarantee of a lottery win, a little extra money is a strong possibility.

TAURUS - The Bull

21st April - 21st May

Beneath that subdued Taurean image lurks a highly ambitious individual with an unstoppable drive to succeed.  You have strong appetites, particularly for material comforts.  Possessions provide your security.  Starting with a solid foundation, you work hard to build financial stability — often accumulating power along the way.   Taureans understand the “nest-egg” principle and generally handle money well.  For you, it’s a matter of self-worth — hence the seemingly obsessive pursuit of wealth. Just try not to lose sight of the distinction between need and greed. The challenge is to be satisfied with what you already have — for the moment at least. 

Financial Year Ahead

Lucky Jupiter travelling through your own sign brings some fabulous rewards, perhaps even an unexpected windfall. The old adage about “being in the right place at the right time” rings true — your time is now.  Good for you. October offers you a glimpse through the cosmic peephole. What you may see is another path, leading you towards your true vocation.  Success awaits. 

GEMINI - The Twins

22nd May - 21st June

Geminis are the thinkers of the zodiac and, financially, very clever. Multi-tasking comes naturally.  Ideas stimulate you more than the money-making process itself; but when these two components coincide, Geminis can strike gold.  You enjoy earning money from more than one source.  But there’s a less entrepreneurial side to your character too — a child-like “Peter Pan” attitude that doesn’t take well to excessive responsibility.  Lack of follow-through can also find you drifting from one project to another.  End result?  A fluctuating income and the occasional financial crisis.  Best advice?  Keep a nest-egg tucked away.

Financial Year Ahead

Money doesn’t grow on trees and, even it did, you still have some serious sowing to do. It’s not that you won’t do well this next year — you’ll just have to continue to work hard for it.  Your driving force? Pluto’s promise of financial independence. Just remember to occasionally step off the treadmill. Take the occasional breather. 

CANCER - The Crab

22nd June - 22nd July

Cancerians are financially ambitious, shrewd and intuitive.  Like your crustacean counterparts, you never approach your target head on, but prefer to scuttle sideways —a deliberate manoeuvre to catch opponents off guard. This makes for a formidable business person.   Family life is equally important, so yours is often a luxurious nest.  Many crabs are devout savers, ever conscious of providing for their own. Bank accounts stay healthy “just in case” of a rainy day.  You love collecting things. Though shrewd in business, you’re a push-over with loved ones. Learn to say “no” to those who would take financial advantage. 

Financial Year Ahead

Gather in resources, Cancer; it’s a year for disciplined work. The planets put a stop to your financial promiscuity.  Place your trust in a black bank balance, rather than credit.  And don’t assume that everyone is as honest as you are.  Read all fine print carefully and, if in doubt, seek professional guidance.  By August, you’re wiser — and wealthier. 

LEO - The Lion

23rd July - 22nd August

“I create” is what you affirm. Leos demand recognition, influence and power.  Glamour also draws you like a magnet.  Thankfully, you attract money just as easily — a distinct advantage to those with such extravagant tastes.  Being one of the most generous signs of the zodiac you love to give, but will expect gratitude in equal measure.  Woe betides the unaware recipient who does not meet these standards.  Leo’s greatest asset?  A joyous, though sometimes irresponsible, ability to approach money in the same way that children love toys.  It is all a big game, to be enjoyed simply for the pleasure it brings. 

Financial Year Ahead

Nothing less than prestige and worthy recompense will cut it this year.  When you believe in yourself, others do too, so hold on to your dreams. Not everything offers immediate rewards, but there’s promise of plenty of gain by year’s end. In the meantime, love features strongly in the workplace and luxuries aren’t exactly off the agenda either.  Live life to the full, Leo.

VIRGO - The Virgin

23rd August - 22nd September

Virgos are as meticulous in money matters as they are in other spheres of life.  Your practical, analytical mind can make you a skilled operator in the world of finances, particularly when arbitrating disputes or negotiating big business deals.  Being precise and painstakingly attentive to detail, you rarely cut financial corners. Hard-earned cash is invested safely. Low-risk ventures are the Virgo preference. Sadly, this kind of caution doesn’t always guarantee riches. You can become overly obsessed with penny pinching. Not that you don’t enjoy the occasional spend-up. But you’ll only fly high when supported by a very firm financial safety net.  

Financial Year Ahead

After a testing stretch, finances finally move in the right direction. Your potential is limitless.  The only thing likely to distract you is envious colleagues. More fool them. Once, your indecisiveness would have let you down. Now, a fresh surge of mental agility allows you to capitalise and expand.  A little more assertiveness leads to much more wealth.  

Libra - The Scales

24th September - 23rd October

Others shouldn’t be fooled by your financial indecisiveness. The truth is you’re a remarkably good strategist, someone who weighs up all the pros and cons.  You were born with a need to find symmetry in all areas of your life. Everything must balance, especially your cheque book. Somehow, you manage to pay most bills on time because the feeling of being “out of balance” is just too stressful. You’re also very aware of the power of money; that objects of beauty act as buffers to the rougher edges of life. It's comfort and luxury you crave — so prospective partners are well advised to keep that gold card handy.  

Financial Year Ahead

It’s a year of greater financial control — a time when you should scrutinise investments and expenses carefully.  Trouble is you’re in the mood for extravagance, particularly when it comes to travel.  So, what to do?  Save or spend?  Here’s the thing:  let one hand spend and the other clear debts.  That way you cover both options and pay your bills. 

Scorpio - The Scorpion

24th October - 22nd November

Nothing is obvious about Scorpios, least of all your motivation to make money.  You’re a shrewd financial manipulator; someone who commands respect — and sometimes, fear. Your sign, after all, rules sex, death and money.  A powerful trinity, indeed. Money buys you security, freedom and, best of all, control. You understand budgeting and finances better than most.  Another great asset? The ability to make something out of nothing; to transform something that’s apparently valueless into an object of worth. Little wonder, then, that Scorpio is the sign of the Alchemist.  There’s also an unshakeable conviction that you’ll come out on top and you generally do. 

Financial Year Ahead

If you find yourself standing at a financial crossroads and wondering why you’ve never taken that deviation to the left, now’s your chance. Gambles can be transformed into triumphs.  Any keenness to step off along the yellow brick road is probably justifiable. But you shouldn’t trust others so readily, or so often. Remember, there are plenty of wolves out there just waiting to prey on your profits.

Sagittarius - The Archer

23rd November - 22nd December

Sagittarius is a sign of extremes.  When happy and satisfied at work, your earning potential knows no limits.  But you can also be almost splendidly irresponsible with money, spending lavishly when you can.  Many Sagittarians see money as their only road to freedom and so you take big risks — you’re the gambler of the zodiac. Repulsed by drab routine, you work best in jobs that offer complete freedom to call the shots. You need constant change and constant challenge.  Accumulating money is not overly important; rather, it is the spirit of adventure in getting it that’s highlighted.  

Financial Year Ahead

You’re enering a new professional phase and a busy one at that.  You’re encouraged to take a gamble, which could mean a new job.  And don’t be afraid to put your money where your mouth is. Sure, you may spend a little extra, but you’re on a winning streak.  This should be remembered as a year of great financial advancement. Possibly, an inheritance too. 

Capricorn - The Goat

23rd December - 20th January

Capricorns are the success-stories of the zodiac.  Nothing can be taken for granted, least of all luck, which is no substitute for hard graft, you believe and so you develop an iron-clad determination in your constant endeavour to achieve ambitions. Only practical considerations matter and the most tangible evidence of success is the credit in the bank account.  You can be ruthless in financial dealings, but wounded by accusations of hard-bitten materialism.  For you, money is a necessity.  It gives you the power to keep at bay what seems to be an intrinsically chaotic world.  Stability is what you crave. 

Financial Year Ahead

A restless mood sends you on a hell-bent quest for excitement.  With Pluto playing a dizzy game with Jupiter, you now crave professional accolades. Thoughts turn towards innovative ways of increasing assets and income. So unlike you, Capricorn —but so revitalising.  Let go of whatever’s outdated.  The more thoroughly you relinquish outworn ambitions or dreams, the greater the benefits. 

Aquarius - The Water Bearer

21st January - 19th February

When it comes to making money, you’re essentially visionary and idealistic — but also disciplined and ingenious.   Wealth usually comes as a result of your special skills, rather than a hunger for possessions and status.  Money to you is a means, not an end.  Cash comes and goes like many other things in your life.  In contrast to your talents and abilities, surprisingly, you can be pretty thrifty when it comes to spending.  At work you rise above petty office politics and prefer to work without supervision. It’s not that you have no respect for the rules; you just want to do things your way, with minimal intervention. 

Financial Year Ahead

If you’ve been hoping for a touch of good fortune, this should be your year — particularly in terms of some extra cash.  Fiesty Mars fires up a heap of extra energy, so financial goals can be reached in a fraction of the usual time. Sure, it won’t all go your own way.  But despite any opposition, your battle is clearly won. 

Pisces - The Fish

20th February - 20th March

No sign works more imaginatively, or with a greater sense of duty than Pisces — once you’ve found the right occupation.  Finding it, however, may not be easy.   Sure, you’re interested in security, but not at any price.  You need work that makes full use of your remarkable creativity. Pisceans can be impulsive spenders, yet basically conservative in their habits. You make money mainly to preserve your independence, rather than for power or status.  And when you do have a financial windfall, you usually share it with others.  One problem: loved ones have a way of separating you from your cash.  

Financial Year Ahead

This next year encourages you to be as ambitious as you like, but keep those dreamy Piscean feet firmly planted on solid ground. You should also watch your spending. Let common sense rule your wallet and your pace. Most of you have been in debt for a while now. The cosmos says “enough”. So put any good advice or sudden influxes of cash to good use.
