Financial Payment Trends by Your Zodiac Sign
continued..
Aries - financially consistent. Ariens are reasonably consistent when it comes to financial management. They do let themselves down when it comes to checking their bank and credit card statements, and should try to check them more thoroughly to spot anything unusual. Advice: You are headstrong, and always busy with yet another project. Don't forget that with all the projects you do, they still need to be managed hence your statements!

Taurus - financially thorough. Taureans are fairly meticulous in their financial management, demonstrating solid and consistent organisational skills. However, they are let down by their shredding laziness. Advice: Your task for the next six months is to set a financial goal and watch it grow. You are strategic enough to plan ahead so you should'nt have a problem.

Gemini - least financially organised star sign. Geminis fall below the mark when it comes to financial management, not quite hitting the spot when it comes to organising their bank and credit card statements. Advice: As an Air sign you've plenty ideas...think small enough for you to handle ONE idea at a time in ALL aspects.

Cancer - chequebook-loving. Cancerians adore their chequebooks, rejecting cash for this form of payment. They demonstrate a strong tendency to check their bank or credit card statements regularly, but are not so good at paying their monthly bills in full. Advice: You've heard of "saving up for a rainy day".....well let the bank take care of that and invest into direct debit to help ease the pins and needles you go through each month with paying your bills.

Leo - poor PIN managers. Leos are at the bottom of the pile when it comes to managing the PINs for their plastic cards. They should try to use different numbers for their cards. Advice: Hey Leo...really I'm speaking to a human! I know your sign has the symbol as a lion but you have to take some responsibility and know all of the jungle can't be at your feet in the real world. A little independence of handling things on your own will do you good.

Virgo - online-lovers. Virgos love to inspect their statements at least once a month, particularly online. They have a hoarding preference and shy away from shredding their financial documents.Advice: No information is safe these days, although you are always on top of all your money, read the fine print more often and investigate other options to saving money, I know it's overwhelming sometimes....

Libra - financially slowest star sign. Librans demonstrate a distinct lack of interest and attention to detail when it comes to their financial management. They are slow to check their statements, and when they do get round to it, they are less likely to check the detail. Advice: Hey "YOU" Libra your life is a good one but can be turned upside down by being complacent... Make sure you don't take your money for granted. THINK ahead and you'll be fine.

Scorpio - debit card-lovers. Scorpios are the sign of the debit card, displaying a strong preference for this form of payment. They are financially savvy and diligent and are particularly inventive with their cards! Advice: Scorpio, just remember one thing...although money does come from trees...it doesn't grow on trees. Although money comes from the virtual world...hence electronically.. it isn't a bottomless pit. Be careful to look at your statments daily to keep track of what you spend.

Sagittarius - responsible yet financially disorganised. Sagittarians are not the most financially organised star sign, yet they are responsible when it comes to paying off their credit card bills and checking their statements. Advice: Just remember that although you may be optimistic about everything in life, the reality is that Money doen't always just happen!!!! Try to budget a little more and aim for saving instead of spending. I know it's hard, Sag.

Capricorn - financially astute. Financially responsible in most areas, Capricorns are the most financially astute when it comes to managing their finances. However, they let themselves downs when it comes to paying their credit card bills. Advice: Capricorn, you are really all to much of a good-doer when it comes to money. So much wheras you miss out on the fun! Make a money ledgert and plan for work and play and you'll be fine. Spend more in cash than from credit cards.

Aquarius - keen cash and credit card users. Aquarians are keen cash and credit card users but need to improve the management of their statements.Advice: Goodness, you can become a bit extravagant when it comes to spending. You ONLY need to use cash in hand. No borrowing, credit cards or even checks should be in your hands within the next six months!!!! IF you do this in December you have permission to splurge!

Pisces - financially responsible. Pisceans are financially responsible, with the majority paying off their monthly credit card bill in full and demonstrating particular diligence when it comes to the management of their statements.Advice: If you want to feel your worth, learn to treat yourself out a little more to appreciate all the hard work you've done. It will feel good to you and inspire you to even do better financially!
