While some zodiac signs are feeling more spendthrift this year, others might want to think twice before swiping their card, especially with certain planetary transits at play. As some celestial bodies can impact your wallet, it might be a good idea to cancel your online shopping, cut back on your expensive coffee habit, and put a pin in your vacations and getaways — at least for the rest of 2024.
According to Letao Wang, an astrologer and spiritual advisor, when certain planets move into your natal chart, the energy of some signs can bring financial setbacks and other annoying money-related issues. Think random changes in your income or surprise expenses, like a car repair or a hefty vet bill that will make you dip into your savings account.

Saving might be the best way to get ahead of any potential issues, but these planetary transits can also inspire you to budget and rethink your spending approach entirely. Who knows? It might be good to slow down and be more intentional with your purchases for now.
If you are one of the zodiac signs listed below, Wang recommends paying attention to what the stars have in store, as it could save your bank account.
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
The distant planet Uranus will be transiting through Aries’ second house of money and values this year, so you might want to avoid overspending. “Uranus is the planet of sudden changes and unexpected events, which can bring financial instability and unpredictability,” says Wang.
Even if you plan, set aside money, and get everything in order, there is a good chance that something will still go wrong, and you will find yourself in a financial hole, especially related to big purchases. According to Wang, you might face unexpected expenses or repairs, sudden changes in your income, or have issues with a loan.
That’s why it’s best to be frugal while Uranus is doing its thing. “It is advisable to have an emergency fund and avoid large impulsive expenses,” he says. Instead of renting a larger apartment or randomly booking expensive vacations that might leave you feeling down, focus on staying put and maintaining a flexible budget that can absorb the impact of any financial surprises that might come your way.
Leo (July 23 to August 22)
This year places Saturn in Leo’s eighth house, which governs shared finances, debts, and investments. According to Wang, this celestial shift can cause financial stress related to joint accounts, so keep an eye on the bills you share with a partner, as well as your taxes and investments.
It’s best to avoid taking on new debt — like a car payment — or making any major financial decisions for the rest of the year. What seems like a good deal or idea at first can quickly become a heavy burden that takes more effort than it’s worth.
While it’s OK to treat yourself occasionally, this is the time to put your energy into creating a budget that will take you through the rest of 2024 and all that it may bring. “This transit calls for tightening the belt and ensuring you have a robust plan in place for any unforeseen expenses,” says Wang. If something goes wrong, you will thank your past self for putting a safety net in place.
Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)
“For those born under the sign of Aquarius, 2024 brings Saturn transiting your 2nd house of finances and possessions,” says Wang. Saturn, known for its lessons and challenges, will force you to reassess your financial strategies and how your spending habits make you feel.
You might realize you are overspending on online shopping, food delivery, and travel. While it’s fun to splurge at the moment, true financial security feels even better — and might even make you happier in the long run.
To stop spending so much money, focus on appreciating what you already have, like your closet full of clothes or all the groceries you just bought at Trader Joe’s. Wang also recommends using the rest of the year to solidify your financial foundation through budgeting and saving.
Saturn might mess with your bank account, but Wang says this planet also rewards those who are diligent and patient with their financial plans, meaning 2025 could be your year.
