Women of today have much more on their minds than snipping coupons out of the Sunday paper. We balance career, family and social lives, not only for ourselves, but for our life partners and children as well. Time is money and money is time for today's busy woman. Here is a quick and easy sign-by-sign psychic guide to saving money.
Aries March 21 – April 19
Aries women need to watch out for impulse buys. Standing in the checkout line at your local grocery, you are more prone than any of the other signs to grab those "last minute" items that are placed there just for you … the impulse buyer. When you are shopping, make a list and stick to it. If it is not on your list, do not buy it. Use your psychic ability to discern if your desire to make a purchase is based on a want or a need.
Taurus April 20 – May 20
Taurus women tend to be practical at saving money until it comes to decorating their home and surroundings. You can trust your intuition and refrain from buying the new comforter and pillows for your big, inviting bed. The ones you own will suffice. The same goes for the rest of your home. Instead of purchasing a houseful of seasonal home decor this year, recycle the items you have neatly packaged and stored from previous years; after all, they are still like brand new.
Gemini May 21 – June 21
Gemini women need to slow down just a moment and tap into their intuition, and their memory banks. The Gemini female is usually so harried from rushing around and communicating with everyone, that she frequently buys things she already owns simply to save the time it takes to retrieve the existing item out of storage. Turn off the lights, turn off the TV when you are not watching it, and conserve electricity. You, more than any other sign, waste many kilowatt-hours on "background" noise and lights being on when not needed.
Cancer June 22 – July 22
The Cancer woman reading this has probably already been informed by her psychic guide that she has to cut back on her grocery bill. Grow your own garden instead of buying expensive herbs at the store, buy quality meats in bulk rather than meal-by-meal, and you can still serve yourself and your loved ones those scrumptious meals that you are famous for. I will let you in on a secret: the generic brands of dry and canned goods are manufactured at the same processing plants as the name brands – they just have a different label!
Leo July 23 – August 22
Oh, now we have to advise Ms. Leo that she really should cut back on her wardrobe expenses. The label does not make the striking appearance – the woman does. Try shopping for quality clothing at mainstream chain stores rather than designer outlets or specialty shops; you really will look fantastic anyway. Your nails and hair can be done just as professionally by a reasonably priced beautician, as by an overpriced stylist who is booked weeks ahead before you can get an appointment.
Virgo August 23 – September 22
Our Virgo sister is usually quite thrifty and able to trust her intuition as to when to buy and where. The Virgo woman is a model of practicality when it comes to finances. What she needs to focus on is ensuring that the money that she is saving is earning as much interest as possible given the low return on investments right now. Review your portfolio and listen to your inner psychic guide when choosing to make any changes.
Libra September 23 – October 22
Because our Libra female has such a difficult time making decisions, she wastes a lot of gas running back and forth to stores making purchases, rethinking her decision, and then deciding to return them. Tap into your psychic guide when making a purchase, visualize yourself pumping gas into your car at the highly inflated prices we are now paying, and watch the dollars on the pump run up. Now, look at the item you are about to buy; does it make the numbers on the pump go up, or stop?
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
We all know what they say about Scorpios and it's true that our sexy sister can save a lot of money by cutting back on her lingerie, wine and chocolate budget. Your wardrobe has enough appealing lingerie to host a photo shoot for an entire catalogue, so take a little break; you'll still get the results you want with the teddies that already fill your closet.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 21
Sagittarian women need to start doing more research on how to travel on a budget. You can still romp and play all over the globe, but start planning a bit more ahead of time to get the best prices on flights and rentals. Try going a little bit "off season" this year to those favorite destinations; with better planning, you could save enough to squeeze in an extra trip or two this year.
Capricorn December 22 – January 19
The Capricorn woman works very hard for her money and likes to use it for high quality items that enhance efficiency and reflect her level of success. Compare prices a little more thoroughly Miss Capricorn, and follow your intuition. Yes, you do deserve the best, but the message your inner psychic guide has been trying to give you is: if you take just a little more time comparison shopping, you will find high quality merchandise at a better price.
Aquarius January 20 – February 18
The Aquarian female can go for long periods between shopping binges, but when she does shop, she does binge. Aquarians are truth and knowledge seekers, and dependent upon which truths they are currently seeking, they can go way overboard in their quest. When visiting your favorite bookstore, you do not need to buy every title on the subject you are researching. Buy only what you can read until your next trip to the bookstore. Moderation is key for the Aquarian.
Pisces February 19 – March 20
Miss Pisces must learn that, although her loved ones appreciate the everlasting stream of gifts, thoughtful cards and trinkets, they know that they are loved and will do just fine without them. Use your psychic guide to tap into what your loved ones really need and begin saving money by eliminating the excess of loving gifts you bestow upon them.
