Being smart with money is a fantastic (and often, gene-tastic) thing! If you are blessed with parents who have been wise with their wads of green, chances are you’d know of all the ingenious ways to rake in that cash and keep it too. However, if you have been brought up in a household that tends toward the spenthrifty end of the spectrum, you’d possibly be doling out that dough right now! Either which way, whether you are ‘treating’ yourself or ‘tweaking’ yourself, financial health plays a crucial role in all our lives. If you are prudent, you would be smart with money and keep a close tab on your cash flow. On the other hand, if you are more of a free bird, you may find yourself in a sticky spot, often. But there’s more to your spending habits than a simple matter of innate or acquired financial wisdom. Your financial prowess is influenced by your zodiac as well.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
You have a tendency to strike a fine balance between saving and spending. Not only do you monitor your bank balance closely but you also ensure that your wild, adventurous spirit doesn’t strain your saving pool so much that it runs dry. You do not allow your balance to dip below a certain level and yet, you do not rein in your impulses to indulge, if you have saved a substantial amount. This balancing act tends to hold you in equilibrium and you feel exceptionally proud of the same.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
As a lover of luxury and comfort, you are the spendthrift on the charts- always plunking down some serious coin to indulge yourself and your loved ones. You tend to be drawn toward all things comfortable and leave no stone unturned in making them your own. This does not mean that you lack the sense to rein in your impulses when they run wild or go out of bounds but you are open to spending hard, when you know you’ve worked equally hard to earn every penny you are spending!

Your financial health is difficult to predict as you are the sign most susceptible to squandering away your cash reserves. It would be safe to assume that your financial graphs fluctuate as much as the stock market index and you may be playing’em too whilst indulging simultaneously in other gambles or risky businesses. If only you could keep your spirit-animal in check and avoid the temptation to pilfer your hard-earned money on trivial pursuits, you could be the proud owner of a tidy pile of green!
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Despite being a moon sign, prone to the influence of shifting tides, you are pretty steadfast and stable with respect to your savings. You have made a healthy habit of saving a steady amount each month and are prudent with the wads you spend. In fact, your spending habits are ruled not by materialistic impulses but experiential urges. You are open to spending on things that add to your life’s experience repertoire such as traveling rather than spend a pile on a gadget or cosmetics.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
Your financial discipline is unparalleled on the charts and you have quite the knack for saving for a big-ticket item. You understand your innermost desires and prioritize the same, ending up stacking a steady pool for the item in question and having zero qualms when you finally go in for the kill. Not unlike your zodiac glyph, you are the undisputed king of fiscal discipline and can save, spend, budget or bargain- and still not lack a thing. All of us could use a lesson or two from your entrepreneurial and economic guide.

You are frugal to the core and can pinch a penny until it screams. You do not have too many desires that can drain out your hard-earned cash and you can ‘trick’ yourself into ‘treating’ yourself as less as once a month. You have a knack for sound investments, especially in real estate and people turn to you for sound financial advice. However, your frugality borders on miserly and you could be seen that way.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Libra, not unlike your zodiac glyph, take a balanced approach to finances. You save some and spend some- knowing when to indulge and when to step back and save for a rainy day. You have a calculated appetite for risk-taking but also know when to bankroll your pile to go out and have some fun, tagging along a beloved. You love to pamper your loved ones and that’s where you like to spend your dough.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Saving isn’t necessarily your thing, Scorpio, but you have a brilliantly intuitive mind to grasp market trends, ride on a wave and cash in. Your keen observational skills and inventive mind allows you to don your wizard suit and walk away with the fruits of a few get-rich-quick schemes.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
You know that you toil hard to earn the sizeable chunk you stack away for the future. You have a judicious pattern of spending on items that render a strong blend of durability and utility and your careful spending habits alongside smart saving patterns keep your financials in pink health!
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Always firm-footed when it comes to financials, you are a strong believer in the ‘think before you leap’ adage- spending and saving smart on yourself. You do, however, drop some dough on a tasteful item of luxury occasionally and your strong sense of civic responsibility and charity makes you give back to the community at large.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
A visionary and an entrepreneur, you are a dreamer who knows how to make dreams come true. A philanthropist at heart, you not only succeed in carving out a niche for yourself but create opportunities for others to thrive as well. You make a lot of money and also share generously with others.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
If you put your mind to it, you could rein in those ‘impulse buys’ and collect a sizeable stock of cash. You could benefit the most from soliciting advice from a trusted financial advisor or a well-wisher/friend who has a solid financial footing. Your ‘go with the flow’ mantra seems to be wrecking your financial planning and you may do well to consider a sturdy system to get your financials in place for a secure future.
