Luxury-loving Tauruses like to reward themselves for their hard work by being a bit indulgent, while responsible Capricorns tend to be good at saving money because they’re strict with their cash — but Virgos tend to fall somewhere in between. While they’re very pragmatic, they are also the only earth sign ruled by the intellectual planet Mercury — so they tend to be more cerebral and analytical about their financial situation than their elemental counterparts which can lead to worries and overthinking.
If you were born between Aug. 23 and Sept. 22, you might find you get a little anxious when checking up on your bank account or spending your hard-earned cash. Here are a few reasons Virgos are the one sign that always seems stressed about money.
They Tend To Overthink Things
Virgos are governed by the mental planet Mercury, which rules over matters of logistics and thinking. Mercury’s cosmic influence makes Virgos so detail-oriented, observant, and analytical. While these are all very positive qualities, on a bad day, they could result in overthinking — leading Virgos to spend too much time spiraling over situations that aren’t worth a second thought.
Being organized about your financial plan is great, but going down obsessive spirals of “what ifs” can make things unnecessarily stressful. Accepting that some things are beyond your control while also taking charge of the things in your control are good practices to help a Virgo stop overthinking about their cash flow.
