The 5 Wealthiest Birth Months, According to Experts

According to Stardust, “Those born in January put their energy into setting off the new year in style and power.” They pay attention to their resolutions and manifestations, and this gives them the lift needed to achieve their monetary goals. “If that means setting intentions toward saving or investing correctly then so be it,” she says. “They want to be ballers and successful to show off.”

Rebecca Gordon notes that in particular, Capricorns, who are born during the first part of the month (between December 22nd to January 19th), tend to be some of the highest earners of all the zodiac signs. Given the personality traits associated with this sign, it makes a lot of sense. “Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which is the planet of hard work and discipline,” Gordon explains. When Capricorns set their mind to something, “they will do whatever it takes to meet their goal,” which can lead to impressive professional and financial results.

Those born in May, according to Stardust, have an “earthy nature” that grounds them and allows them to pursue their goals with total commitment. They are known for possessing strong will, creativity, and tenacity, which means that they’re not afraid to work hard in order to get what they want. It's a good thing that these characteristics often translate into money, since they're especially inclined towards indulgence and decadence.

Similarly, Gordon points out that May has strong associations with Venus, which is the ruling planet for Tauruses born during this month (between April 20th to May 20th). Gordon says that as “patron of the arts and beauty,” Venus instills Tauruses with “a deep appreciation for the good life.” Their desire to achieve or maintain a certain quality of life can lead them to prioritize financial stability more than other zodiac signs. Gordon says that those born under the Taurus Sun sign “instinctively know how to preserve their resources.”

August babies, especially those born with a Leo Sun sign (between July 23rd to August 22nd), are another group that may be destined for substantial wealth. Gordon says that because Leos are ruled by the Sun, they are natural leaders and “will gravitate towards prominent roles.” With charisma and confidence as two of their strongest assets, these individuals often use their powerful personalities to become trailblazers in their chosen fields.

Unsurprisingly, there’s no shortage of exceptional Leos who illustrate how this birth month is connected with money and influence. Some examples include Martha Stewart (August 3rd), Tom Brady (August 3rd), Barack Obama (August 4th), and Madonna (August 16th).

The month of September is one that astrologers associate with “taking action towards building and manifesting money,” according to Stardust. She says in general it can be a good time for go-getters to get their hustle on, and that those born during September may take this to extremes, as they are “known to be workaholics that seek perfection.”

One of the reasons September-born people are so career-driven, says Stardust, is due to scarcity fears that are associated with this birth month. This could be due to a lack of money or other resources during their formative years. Because a low bank account is more likely to trigger their sense of security, those born in September pay extra careful attention to attracting money, and their conscientiousness could lead them to become rich in the long run.

Stardust says that astrologically, October is a time of rebirth and intuition. Those born during this month tend to have the insights needed to navigate financial setbacks and to regrow their finances when they become depleted. By tapping into their visions, Stardust says, they face all types of challenges thoughtfully. This gives them “the chance to see how, why, and what they can do” to overcome money issues, and to build a solid foundation for their futures.

Another reason why October jumps out to astrologers as a potentially lucrative birth month is its strong association to Venus. Libras born during this month (between September 23rd and October 22nd) are ruled by this planet, and may therefore be heavily influenced by its signature characteristics of attracting wealth, luxury, fame, and material possessions.
