A new study has uncovered a link between our zodiac sign and our financial behavior. Finder, Australia's most popular price comparison website, surveyed 2,086 people to determine the connection between zodiac signs, income, wealth, and attitude toward money.
Based on the intriguing data (relevant to Australia but possibly reflective of broader trends), Aquarius tops the list of the wealthiest zodiac signs, with an impressive average savings account of AUD 41,975 (about 100,000 shekels). Libra comes in second with AUD 37,806 (about 90,000 shekels) on average, while Cancer trails behind with only AUD 13,075 (about 31,000 shekels) in savings.
Taurus is the sign expected to save the most money per month, averaging AUD 713 (about 1,700 shekels), while Gemini saves the highest percentage of their income (28%).
The study also found that Leo and Cancer are the biggest online spenders, each spending around AUD 228 (545 shekels) per week solely on online shopping.
Unlike Cancer, Leo holds a significant amount of cryptocurrency (28%)—such as Bitcoin or Ethereum—and also has the largest stock portfolio among all the zodiac signs, averaging AUD 22,407 (about 53,500 shekels) in stocks.
Virgos are less likely to feel financial stress (17%), but they have the smallest stock portfolio, with an average of AUD 4,320 (about 10,300 shekels).
Libras have the highest average annual income at AUD 96,948 (about 231,500 shekels), yet somehow they’re also the most likely to miss rent or mortgage payments (38%).
Capricorn holds the least amount of money in savings, averaging AUD 13,075 (about 31,000 shekels), and shows very little interest in cryptocurrencies, with only about 15% investing in them.
Rebecca Pike, money expert at Finder, said your personality is closely linked to your attitude toward money—even if you're not a fan of astrology. “Whether you’re into it or not, many Australians enjoy finding out what their zodiac sign means for their future—financial or romantic,” she said. “Leos may be known for their ambition and dedication, but the truth is anyone can improve their financial situation with just a few small changes.”
Ms. Pike emphasized that setting up a dedicated savings fund is a necessary step. As a general rule, it’s best to have at least three months’ worth of expenses saved in an “emergency fund” for use when needed. She added: “Keep money separate from your everyday transaction account and try to grow it by saving at least 20% of your monthly income.”
