From the Struggle to the Stacks: Top Five Zodiac Signs Bound to Make It Big

Astrological signs often present a love-hate relationship when it comes to money. People with some zodiac signs seem to float through life with trust funds of good luck, easy prosperity, and fast fortune. At the same time, people in other signs may feel that they are in a constant state of Mercury retrograde as they hustle hard but constantly come up short. It can feel all the more discouraging when the people on easy street attribute their success to their brilliance and "work ethic" even as you know for a fact that you are working just as hard but keep ending up in the red. However, it is now time to take heart. The stars are watching, and they have a mysterious way of balancing the scales in the end. In other words, sometimes the people who struggle the most in the beginning are the very ones who end up rewriting the game of wealth later.

If you are frustrated with counting pennies or feel that you will never get out of a financial rut, it is time to take a deep breath and change your perspective. The zodiac signs of Scorpio, Virgo, Pisces, Cancer, Aquarius, and Sagittarius are all famous for turning the tide in a big way. A look at the way that these signs achieve can provide inspiration as you work and wait to win big.

Scorpio: Building Wealth From the Rubble
Scorpio is a water sign known for traversing uncharted waves and arising as the winner. If you are Scorpio, it is time to stop thinking of inheriting money and start thinking of rebirthing it. The heavenly body of Pluto is the ruler of all things Scorpio. This ancient planet controls transformation, death, and ultimately renewal. So even though you may feel that even though you may have seen a series of small dreams appear to die silent deaths, this is the natural process for achieving something bigger.

Many Scorpio individuals start life in financial chaos. This may include unstable home environments, painful losses, or even a karmic hiccup from untapped past life. Whatever the cause, the preliminary financial story for the Scorpio is rarely straightforward and linear. Instead, it is often gritty, raw, or even murky. While you know deep down that there is buried treasure, your early financial life probably seemed riddled with booby traps.

The good news is that there is a great caveat. Scorpios have unmatched willpower and the secret weapon of intuition. These natural gifts are financial superpowers that slowly work in surprise. Scorpios have a natural strength to strategize and wait. They have a tough shell exterior to endure hardship for a season. But when the time is right, Scorpios also know when to pull out their laser-sharp stinger and strike. For this reason, many astrologers describe Scorpios as a cross between a shaman and an alchemist. They can master the art of creation and timing. If you interview rich Scorpios, you may hear many relate that their fortunes came after a complete financial collapse like bankruptcy or romantic betrayal. These seismic life shifts often force the Scorpio to rise up like the fabled phoenix from the ashes.

Virgo: A Reluctant Millionaire With a Plan
Virgos can sometimes walk through life with quiet but constant financial anxiety. The virtuous Virgo wants to be perceived as smart and stable. However, the banes of the Virgo's existence can include a notorious perfectionism, crippling self-doubt, and that horrible inner critic that just will not quit. However, Virgos also have a long-term maturity that sets them up for financial freedom and success.

Mercury is the ruling planet of each Virgo soul. The aspects of Mercury that apply to Virgos include the planet's efficiency and calculating abilities. In other words, Virgos are the accountants of the zodiac. But despite the fact that Mercury is the first planet in the solar system, many Virgos start out impoverished and broke. They can find it discouraging when this status seeps into early adulthood. Virgos are often the ones pay off debts while building someone else's dream. They are the college students who chose that major that prioritizes passion over profit, or they practice spiritual beliefs that emphasize showing humility over hype. To top it off, young Virgos can rarely accept a reward unless they feel as if they have earned it.

The great news is that the meticulous and analytical nature Virgos eventually transforms them into financial masterminds. These individuals are the epitome of "slow and steady wins the race." They know how to invest and save while other people splurge. And over time? These savings and investments add up. It is simply the law of compounding interest. While the Virgo's love of spreadsheets may seem boring, this is often their key to monetary security. The solid nature of the Virgo means that many with this sign become business owners or trustworthy consultants that others trust with their hard-earned money.

Your Virgo Money Mantra: "My precision and patience is not a liability. Because of my sense of purpose, I can prosper."


Pisces: Dreamers Who Can Manifest Magic
Pisces individuals can often feel like the proverbial "fish out of water" when it comes to matters of money. While others eagerly talk about spreadsheets, taxes, and budgeting, the Pisces might end up with a headache and zone out. These dull and confining topics contrast sharply with their admiral artistic natures. Even worse, the sensitive Pisces may also struggle with boundaries. In early life, these are the people who may have given too much, trusted the wrong friends, or delved so much into their passion that they avoid subjects their peers considered practical. Some Pisces also came from families filled with financial fog such as unstable households, co-dependent parents, or full-blown escapism. In this way, adulting and money and money can seem like an unfair struggle Pisces souls never signed up for in the first place.

Fortunately, the ruling planet of all Pisces people is Neptune. This is the planet of imagination, but it is also the heavenly body that brings visions to fruition. Once Pisces individuals find grounding from their natural gifts, they also achieve great income. These gifts can include music, writing, crafting, healing, or visual arts. Think of the seamstress who becomes a fashion CEO or the therapist who ends up selling millions of self-help books. Or draw inspiration from billionaires like Rihanna who started out as an artist who later achieved global reach in both music and makeup. Once you achieve emotional clarity for each dream, the possibilities in the material world are endless.

Your Pisces Money Mantra: “My daydreams are not only valuable - they are viable. I can thrive from my dreams."


Cancer: The Protector Who Becomes Practical
Cancer individuals often start life carrying the weight of the astrological world on their shoulders. Even as young children, plenty of Cancer people find themselves responsible for others around them. They may have even seen financial worry cause great pain for an authority figure, and this can cause Cancers to retreat into their crabby shells for security and safety. At the very least, Cancers feel from the beginning that success is something to earn. And sadly, financial freedom may not feel like an inalienable right at first.

The great news is the moon is the ruling heavenly body for all Cancer people. This makes them highly perceptive and intuitive. But this may not even seem like a blessing at first because from Earth, the moon appears to change shape every week. And during the new moon, it even seems to disappear from the sky. It is not uncommon for Cancers to feel the same way about their finances.

As a Cancer, the key is understanding that you are the builder. Cancers may start out with very little, but once they learn from their changing moods and patterns, they can capitalize on them. Think of how the moon controls the ocean's tide. People who learn these patterns become masters of the waves, and there is no telling how far they can sail. Cancer people can become magnificent real-estate moguls, food entrepreneurs, or content creators. From doctors who own their own practice to actors who win Oscars, Cancers can truly do anything. They know how to build legacy and play the long game. And the best part is their protective nature means that their wealth helps benefit everyone they love.

Your Cancer Money Mantra: “I give myself permission to succeed. I will earn wealth not just to give—but to live."


Aquarius: The Original With a Bright Outlook
The Aquarius has a reputation as the quirky and unconventional genius of the zodiac. Many people describe Aquarians as intelligent with an edge to their style. They often draw attention without intending it, and they can have broad general interests that seem baffling to others with more single-minded passions. Yet despite the Aquarius individual's scope of vision, this soul can feel like an outlier when it comes to success. Aquarius is an air sign, but it is typical for the Aquarian to feel as if their air is all over the place. Their friendly and humanitarian nature attracts plenty of buddies, but they may struggle with intimate companionship and the organization needed to achieve their goals. They may even attempt to bring the vastness of their curiosity under control.

Fortunately, the ruling planet of Aquarius is the ancient Uranus. This planet is notorious for going off the beaten path as it makes its way around the sun. But this does not mean Uranus has veered off course. Uranus is the planet of universal wisdom. Once it gets back on track, this planet is unstoppable. As an Aquarius, pull inspiration from successful fellow sign members like Oprah Winfrey or Carlos Slim Helu. If you need help with stamina, think of athletes like Cristiano Ronaldo or Hank Aaron. These examples can help you push through in the end.

Your Aquarius Money Mantra: "My curiosity is a benefit and not a curse. I can use my endless interests to make bank."


Sagittarius: A Wild Card Who Cashes In Like No Other
The Sagittarius is the talented archer that everyone secretly admires. However, these individuals rarely approach money the traditional way. In fact, the idea of toiling away for 20 years in an office setting can make the Sagittarius balk and then balk. The more likely dream for a Sag is to book a one-way ticket to Bali - and to have the financial resources to live to the fullest upon arrival.

Luckily, the ruler planet for all Sagittarius souls is Jupiter. This is the planet of travel, expansion, and just bright unlimited power. They have charisma to keep learning even while everyone else is busy building a conventional 401(k). And even if it takes longer than others, Sagittarians eventually realize that they can use money to fulfill their inherent thirst for freedom. Once they channel their fiery nature into structure, their success seems to skyrocket in the second half of life. These are the individuals who end up hosting sold-out seminars or turning backup hobbies into international brands. They are quintessential motivational speakers and extroverted entrepreneurs. Sags do not always start wealthy, but when they make up their minds to go for it, nothing can stand in their way.

Your Sagittarius Money Mantra: “My money ideas are fire. I will trust my instincts and let the fire burn so that I can reach financial freedom."

The Bottom Line
Starting small does not have to be a curse. Look at your stumbling blocks as astrological building blocks instead. Your astrological sign can provide insights on your personal identity, values, and ultimate purpose. As you come into your own, the great news is that you can accumulate massive cash along the way. So if you start out slowly, never envy the more obvious achievers like the crafty Capricorn or lavish Leo. As you learn life's lessons, your late-bloomer nature will make you enterprising enough to fund empires.
