ARIES (Mar1. 21- April 20)
When it comes to managing money, Aries, you must follow one simple rule: Pay yourself first. That means whenever you get a paycheck, you need to put a set percentage of it into a savings2 or retirement3 plan. It's also a good idea to reserve a small percentage of your income for risky4 investments, just to satisfy your need to live on the edge.

TAURUS (Apr. 21 - May 21)
You're a born money manager, Taurus. It gives you great pleasure to cultivate a fortune, much like you would a garden. In fact, sometimes you enjoy saving money more than spending it.

Get into the habit of buying yourself a small gift each month, whether it's a box of gourmet5 chocolates or a bouquet6 of fresh flowers.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)
You're eternally young, so putting money aside for your old age is a challenging concept for you. Try having two savings accounts – one a short-term savings account for things like classes and trips... and the other a retirement plan. The best way for you to stay true to your savings goals is to have money automatically deposited into these accounts each and every week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23)
You probably know exactly how much you have in your bank account, Virgo, right down to the last penny. You get the most pleasure from your wealth when you follow it closely and stick to a budget. You also like to get the most for your money – in fact it's something of an obsession9 for you – so you do price comparisons before buying anything lavish10. You've got a secret weakness for natural fibers11, handcrafted items and organic food. Don't deprive yourself of these pleasures.
处女:你可以很准确地说出自己银行账户上的数额,甚至能精确到毫厘。你精打细算,看着逐渐鼓起的钱包会很满足。不过,你也舍得为自己心爱的玩意花大价钱,因此在买它时比比价格再做决定。你偏爱天然纤维和手工制品,那就放纵一下自己的钱包,别剥夺了它们能给你带来的快乐。
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23)

For purchases, you'll find art, antiques and entertainment most satisfying.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)
Before making a purchase or investment, you like to do lots of research, Scorpio. There is one exception to this rule, however.

There's a good chance that you treat money like a necessary evil, Sagittarius. Apart from paying your bills, you see financial matters as a drag on your valuable time and energy.

It's no surprise that your money management techniques are utterly15 unique, Aquarius.
