Whether you believe in it or not, astrology is a cultural mainstay. You might read your horoscope religiously or believe it's all total nonsense, but odds are you probably know your star sign. But do you know what it says about your financial habits?
We surveyed 2,086 Australians to find out the relationship between your star sign and your money traits.
Summary: Money traits by star sign
Which star sign is the happiest?
The optimistic Sagittarius are the happiest of the zodiac signs, with 83% saying they are happy.

Libras are the top earners with an average salary of $96,948, followed closely by Leos with $88,495 and Geminis with $88,421.
On the other end of the spectrum, Scorpios have the lowest income of $58,108. Capricorns, known for their determined and ambitious nature, interestingly also have one of the lowest average salaries ($58,837).
Which star sign saves the most?
When it comes to how much each star sign saves per month, Taurus tops the list with $713. Taurus also saves the most as a percentage of their income, putting away an impressive 26% of their salary each month.
Scorpio saves the least amount of money each month ($363), and also saves the least as a percentage of their income (14%).
Hard-working and pragmatic Taurus also has an impressive bank balance ($36,058), but overall Aquarius has the most money in savings ($41,975). Meanwhile Capricorns have the least amount in savings ($13,075) followed by Virgos ($14,697).
Who is the most stressed about money?

Virgos are the least stressed of the zodiac signs when it comes to their finances (17%).
Which star sign shops the most?
Cancers and Leos spend the most money on online shopping, each forking out $228 per week. Gemini ($203) and Scorpio ($201) come in a close third and fourth place.
Meanwhile Aquarius is a bit more frugal when it comes to scrolling the sales, spending $145 per week on average.
Who are the crypto fiends?
The bold and confident Leo has great ambition, which might explain why they are the most likely zodiac sign to own cryptocurrency. More than a quarter of Leos (28%) own cryptocurrency, with 19% owning Bitcoin.
Cancer (26%) and Taurus (24%) are also big on cryptocurrency. Despite their adventurous and explorative nature, Sagittarius are the least likely to own cryptocurrency (12%).
Which star sign invests the most?
Leos take the cake when it comes to cryptocurrency, but they are also dominating the stock market. On average, Leos have $22,407 invested in shares, with Taurus coming in second place ($19,436).
On the other hand, Virgos have just $4,320 in shares. Perhaps their perfectionist nature could be holding them back?

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
