What your zodiac sign says about your finances today

Aries: You're enjoying a boost of energy like that which comes in the weeks following your birthday. There's a lot of dynamism in the area of your chart associated with travel, foreign people, languages, and cultures. If you have been looking for new ways to make money, look no further than these areas for some fast, effective results. Switching a career, or even taking your business global, may bring in some serious cash your way.

Taurus: With some strong aspects happening in and around the area of your chart associated with sex, death, transformation, and other people's money, there may be more borrowing than there is earning, but not to worry. As more plants move around and into your sign, you enjoy a much-needed boost in your money life. Be kind to yourself, and use this time to make plans and set needed goals.

Gemini: Most of us know you as the warm-hearted, generous guy/girl in our lives. At this time, though, the cosmic energy may leave you feeling as though you're pulling away from your dreams and goals, not toward or for them. Now is the time to take stock of your money life. Stop lending if you have to. You won't lose any friends; you instead need to take the time to rediscover what's important at this moment and for your future.

Cancer: You can be a very good earner as well as a saver of money, and can carefully build a portfolio of investments over time. Now, however, you may be faced with some daunting news about your money life. This week's major energy occurs in the area of your chart associated with your job and/or health, meaning that you might be forced to reconsider a job option you thought you'd left behind, or incur an unplanned-for expense you don't care to pay for. Take a step back and regroup.

Leo: You can be very well-disciplined about your money life as you strive for a safe and beautiful future. At this time, your money life is supported in a big way. The stars are now asking you to reexamine your biggest hopes and dreams, meaning what they are, their ongoing worth to you, and how you go after them. Now, you should take the necessary actions and achieve all you desire.

Virgo: This week you can - and should - pull back, hide out, or regenerate when things are tough. You are also very sensitive to the wider events of the world. The recession has been hard on you, as will be this week's dominant energy, thus making it hard for you to see progress in your money life. Though you're being asked to reassess your larger dreams, you may be resisting. Try to go with the flow.

Libra: This week you are given an astral gift, which happens in the area of your chart associated with writing, communication, and siblings. You are being instructed to look closer into these areas to make additional money now, whether it's a new business with your sister or brother, or adding a new form of communication to your skills arsenal. Go for it! You can accomplish great things with a little help from others.

Scorpio: You have strong abilities in the money department this week. At this time, you are enjoying the fruits of the cosmic electricity that now occurs in the area of your chart associated with money and your values. This also covers your own personal values - at work and in relationships. What do you bring to the table that no one else does, and how can you make it pay off for you? Figure this out and use it to your benefit.

Sagittarius: You have a lot of powerful energy helping you achieve your goals and build financial security for your family this week. The cosmos is providing you with opportunities to travel for work and learn a lot more on the job so you can charge more the next time around! Pay attention to what you can use. Since the planets are getting along famously, you have the ingredients for success at hand.

Capricorn: This week is about your home, which may mean having to spend more to get good quality goods or an emergency plumber to fix a broken sink. Whatever the case, know that it's going to be better soon. Meanwhile, a supportive aspect transforms your dreams. Don't give up on that wild scheme yet. It may yield results soon.

Aquarius: If you want to make some changes to your work and money life, this is the week to do it. Your communication sector is expanding, giving you unique skills to get your point across to anyone, from the top of the food chain on down. At the same time, your social circle changes as you weed out the people who aren't serving you or your life's goals. Cash comes from following the dictates of your heart.

Pisces: If you spend your hard-earned money, it's usually on something to stimulate the senses. But this time in your life may be about re-examining your dreams and goals. It's time to think about putting your time and money where your mouth is. If you've been putting off starting your own business on the side, why? Your hard work won't just merely pay off in time; you'll be a lot happier for it, too.
