SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarius folks love to act like they are enlightened/ have no interest in money, insisting they would rather have “experiences.” But make no mistake my dudes, Ayahuasca retreats, fully equipped Burning Man camp sites, wilderness walkabouts, amethyst headboards and yoga certifications don’t come cheap and archers are willing to do whatever it takes to keep the party going.

Aquarius rides the line between tradition and innovation and as such they share an interesting relationship to money. Much like Capricorn, Aquarius views capital as a means to an end. Yet, given the influence of wild card Uranus on their sign, water bearers 🔜are open to getting paid and funding the construction of their hot air balloons, snow leopard sanctuaries, space ships or psilocybin for psoriasis research initiatives by whatever means necessary.
The emotional objectivity of the average Aquarian allows them to see the advantages of marrying for money and or dating for pay.
