Unexpected Money: How Will You Spend It (or Not)?

You’ve just come into a windfall of money. What will you do with it?

Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) tend to live for the moment since they always have great faith there’ll be more bounty coming. Adventurers at heart, Sagittarius and Aries will plan an exotic trip or try an expensive new sport. Leo may decide to throw a party or buy themselves a designer outfit or even a car they’ve always wanted. And Leo especially must be careful to avoid making bad investments.

Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) are very security conscious and understated in their spending habits. Taurus and Capricorn will want to put a considerable chunk aside for a rainy day. Virgo will buy themselves something very practical for their home or office. Taurus may splurge on a few goodies since their indulgent streak is never far below the surface. Capricorn will opt for a quality gift for themselves that impresses friends and colleagues.

Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) are not known for their money sense, especially Libra and Aquarius. Libra will undoubtedly go on a shopping spree, and then have an extravagant party. Gemini might go travelling or seriously upgrade their home entertainment center. Aquarius will treat themselves to the latest gizmos and an over-the-top vacation spot.

Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) are protective when it comes to money. Cancer will buy presents for their family and throw a party for friends -- saving the rest for the future. Scorpio won’t let anyone know that they’ve come into money. Pisces will give themselves a morale-boosting gift of a new car or revamped wardrobe, but they’ll also be sure to save the rest.
