What your star sign says about your money personality

Which star sign is the worst with money and which one is the best? Effie Zahos explores the findings of a survey on the subject.

“This star sign is the worst with money!” Did that get your attention? Well, it certainly got mine. Now, while I’m not one to obsess over my horoscope, I do like to read it every now and then. Especially if there’s good news. But can your zodiac sign pinpoint how good (or bad) you are with money?

Well in fear of instigating a battle of the zodiac signs, I’ll let you be the judge of how accurate these findings are.

According to a survey by online platform Psychic World, Aries tops the list as the star sign that is the worst with money. As many as 61% of Aries say they struggle with their finances and, of those surveyed, 72% admitted that they live payday to payday. According to Psychic World, this is unsurprising as they are known for living life to the full.

Next on the “worst with money” list were Libras (56%) followed by Cancers (52%). Of the Cancerians surveyed 49% reported having less than £2,000 in their savings ($3,605).

So which star sign came in at number one? Pisces. Only 32% of Pisces say they struggle with money. Pisces are selfless and always put other people’s needs before their own, according to the report. Sounds like the ideal friend. In second spot came Leos (33%) and then Capricorns (35%).

For the rest of you here’s what your zodiac signs says about your money behaviours. Taurus: The worst at self indulging. Aquarius: The most indecisive with their money. Sagittarius: Most likely to go bankrupt. Gemini: The biggest financial risk-taker. Virgo: The most likely to dip into their savings. Scorpio: The worst at blowing their budget.

For the record my zodiac sign is Aries… I won’t say any more about this report.

Here’s to seeing if yours is accurate!
