How the Zodiac Signs Spend Their Money

Aries love to build an entourage of human satellites circling around them, sending back a constant stream of data letting them know how amazing they are. To meet this end, they'll pick up the tab on a wide array of fun nights out on the town. If you are a friend of the Ram, realize there are strings attached; if you are happy to take the backseat as a minion on a very fun ride, you've met your BFF. Aries have poor money management skills, especially when they are young, although they often grow out of this with age. When they are flush with cash, it's everyone's time to party, but they can blow through large sums of cash with astonishing speed, leaving them flat broke. Google the early life of 90's Aries rapper MC Hammer, who became the pop-culture poster boy of squandering it all away. Aries are a highly independent sign, however, so they work for what they have, and rarely ask for a handout.

The sign of Taurus is a bit of a hoarder, as they despise waste and hate to throw anything away. More than anything else, they crave stability, and start planning their long-term financial life very young. Do you have that one, somewhat serious, friend who bought a house in their 20s when everyone else was struggling to make rent, in between bopping from party to party? There's a good chance they are a Taurus. They live frugally, eschewing flashy symbols of status. They tend to spend on practical matters; their idea of an exciting day shopping is buying DIY items at Home Depot to fix the roof. That is not to say they do not appreciate quality, however. They will splurge for a classically tailored suit that they can wear for the next twenty years, ensuring a massive ROI. In general though, Taurus prefers to sock it away — so much so, that they risk having a bank balance that is much larger than their overall life experience.

Geminis value socializing, wit and liveliness more than the dreary, gritty, and somewhat uncivilized thirst for money and material possessions. With their lightening quick mind and effervescent personality, Gemini is one of the most entertaining signs of the zodiac. They find it difficult to understand why you need all those "things" to signal your personality to the world, when they can emit their identity so easily to all who surround them. Geminis are largely ambivalent to money — if it's there, they don't mind indulging, but accumulating wealth just to keep up with the bland, insipid Joneses is frankly beneath them. Their spending tends to be fleeting and fabulous, with little thought of the future. They would rather have VIP champagne bottle service with their besties at the hottest club than to spend their hard-earned cash scouting out online bargains to stockpile discounted household products.

Cancer's are not an extravagant sign. Instead of logos and labels, they prefer using their money to establish a solid home foundation. Their houses tend towards the cozy, shying away from the cold, minimalist environments representative of top interior design. They will spend their spare cash on candles, baubles, throw pillows, blankets and other items to give their residence a lived-in, warm feel. Sometimes their abodes may even seem a bit messy or overflowing, but they will always be filled with the energy of life. Likewise, Cancer values their kitchen, decked out with every appliance and utensil needed for the home chef. Above all else, the most important thing for Cancer is their family. They tend not to spoil their kids with expensive material possessions, instead saving cash away for their children's education or for making sure their Christmas and birthdays will be days they remember and cherish for their entire lifetimes.

Leos need glamour like other signs need air. They always dress impeccably; whether they are wearing haute couture or off the rack, they can make anything dazzling. Love her or hate her, Canada's latest adoptee, Meghan Markle, is a perfect example of Leo style. After going on a spending spree of top designer fashions when she first became Duchess of Sussex, she recently downgraded to high street styles and is getting just as much — if not more — press and attention for her outfits; the relatively inexpensive styles she wears now sell out almost as quickly as she is photographed in them. Leos are also rebels. They will not play by the rules and need to go their own way. The stuffy conventions of bourgeois society are not for them. They will eschew the very things most people strive for, because Leos innately understand that life's true excitement is not found in titles, labels, logos and fitting in, but in living a life less ordinary. With their flair for an attractive bargain, Leos spend a lot less money than you would think. Even those who are not married to a prince will be able to achieve a life filled with interesting travel, fine clothes and a nice home, even on an extremely restricted budget.

Sensible, anxiety-ridden Virgo is one of the most frugal signs of the zodiac. They are driven more by a perfectionistic work ethic and need for stability than the desire for fancy things and a lush life. The Virgo-parented household will be one where children receive money for doing their chores; most likely even the Tooth Fairy with her freebie handouts will bypass this home. Billionaire financier Warren Buffett is a good example of the Virgo's attitude to money; he has left most of his wealth to charity, believing his children should have the drive to provide for themselves. Virgos will spend on the necessities: a sturdy house, a solid car, practical clothing. They eschew anything frou-frou and superfluous. You are better off seeking out change left behind in a vending machine, before asking a Virgo for a loan. Rarely will they pick up the tab, so you may want to think twice before you buy that round for your well-employed Virgo friend, because the next one will still be split between the two of you.

Libra is ruled by luxury-loving Venus, the planet of art and beauty. Therefore, Libra has a penchant for well-designed things, and often hedonistically splurges on them without thinking of the price tag. They often overspend using credit and can wind up quickly in debt. Librans thrive in a nicely furnished home, filled with exquisite pieces of high artistic value. They can easily mix together modern items with antiques and classic styles for a truly unique, high-end look — that befits its high-end price tag. They also enjoy indulging in fine food and cocktails in an equally refined atmosphere. Unlike other signs, Libra understands the value of design, and is more focused on the aesthetic quality of an item than it is on the logo, branding or mere craftsmanship. They also shy away from things that are too edgy or extreme, which go against their innate need for harmony and balance.

Scorpios are bargain hunters extraordinaire. Their overdriving need to get a deal often defies logic, however. They will drive to the next town and burn up a tank of gas to take advantage of a two-for-one deal on toothpaste. Not one for splashy luxuries, they will look up prices on menus prior to departing on vacation, so as to make sure they get the biggest bang for their buck, even if it means eating in the side street restaurant instead of the one with breathtaking beachfront views. Their home décor tends to take on a pell-mell feel, as each item is bought based off price, as opposed to having an overall aesthetic in mind. Likewise, their houses can quickly begin to look like a warehouse, as they stock up on all those bargains that they don't really need — but surely will, some day in the future. In order to save literally a few pennies, Scorpios will sacrifice things like taste, ease and even nutrition, preferring to buy a 50% off loaf of 4-day-old bread that will make you gums bleed over something fresh out of the oven. Their bank accounts will flush for a rainy day, though.

Good-hearted Sagittarius has an extremely well-balanced attitude to money matters. While they enjoy life and having a good time, they are not impressed by logos and rarely taken in by marketing. They don't mind splashing out ever now and then, however, preferring to spend their money on brands that offer quality workmanship along with a certain flair in terms of style. While they tend not to overdo things, they may save up for that one big-ticket item that satisfies their thirst for adventure and is built to last, such as a luxury car or motorcycle. Sadgies are often generous to their friends, often picking up the tab for a round of drinks. It is best to remember that they are not pushovers, and know when to put up boundaries so they are not taken advantage of. Extremely warm-hearted to those they love, Sagittarius has a tendency to spoil their children with gifts, making sure they have epic, super-fun birthday bashes with mountains of pressies.

Capricorns spend to impress. They are also firm believers in the hierarchy, and how much they spend on you will equate to where you fit in the social strata. If you are a member of the well-to-do, expect five-star restaurants and presents from upscale boutiques; for the common masses, however, you are lucky to get a sandwich. On themselves, Capricorns will buy the finest furnishings and clothing, but nothing too trendy or avant-garde. They have conservative, traditional tastes and look down their noses at the eccentric and colorful. Capricorn is the expert businessperson, with the bottom line being money. If you work for a Capricorn, expect to have low wages, meager budgets and long hours, while they themselves will only travel first class. Capricorns will penny-pinch with everyone, except themselves, where only the top of the line will do.

Aquarius doesn't really care about money, as an end in itself. They are the zodiac's visionaries, who care more about thinking and creating an ideal future, rather than worrying about building sturdy bases in the present day. They often get swept up into low paying, utopian careers that fuel their dreams but not their bank balance. Their absent-minded professor character could also have them forgetting to do things like pay the electricity or credit card bill, leaving them with unplanned penalties and interest payments. While Aquarius isn't that into material possessions, they do love technology and can find themselves splurging on that new video camera or other gadget. They would also do better investing in crypto than they would in traditional stocks and other financial products. They tend to live frugally, however, and have no problems living within their means. When they have some extra cash, they don't mind giving it away to support woke causes and charitable endeavors.

Sweet, sensitive Pisces is not of the material world, and their spending preferences are what you would expect from this head-in-the-clouds sign. When it comes to giving and receiving gifts, they prefer hand-made items that come from the heart over cookie-cutter, ready-made items. If they are working in a job that doesn't align with their higher self, they can lose motivation and overdo it on comfort spending. When they find their calling, however, they are extremely dedicated, hard workers who can throw their full selves into their career, especially on entrepreneurial endeavors, where their work becomes an offshoot of their personality and vision. Pisces is the most feeling sign of the zodiac, with their spending being intrinsically tied to their emotions. As such, they have a tendency to splurge in the moment — and deal with the consequences later.
