We’re at the tail end of the merry month of May, my friends, and there are a handful of signs with money on the mind.
Jupiter, our planet of gilded purse strings and padded wallets, is in its final weeks in the sign of Gemini.
In astrology, Jupiter is the bearer of blessings, fortune, favor and excess. Also known as “the Great Benefic,” the planet comes correct with a Midas touch, bringing us opportunities for growth, joy and wealth in its myriad forms.
Since mid-May, Jupiter has been picking up speed as it rounds out its transit through Gemini. Because Gemini rules cognition, the time is nigh for rethinking our approach to finances.
Ashley Boyd, astrologer at Gamblizard, tells The Post that four zodiac signs stand to profit most from the final degrees of this transit.

Boyd says that for Taurus folk, a healthy sense of self-worth is imperative to healthy financial growth.
“Jupiter is lighting up your second house of income and resources. Think raises, bonuses or side hustles that will finally pay off. Your gift with words is on fire right now, making it easier to negotiate for more or pitch money-making ideas,” Boyd tells The Post, with a caveat.
“But here’s the catch: Jupiter loves to expand, which can mean splurging on comfort or treats.”
Enticing though indulgence might be, Boyd urges the bull herd to refrain from impulse spending.
Ask yourselves what is essential — and what is essentially frivolous?
“This is your moment to grow your income and money habits,” Boyd proclaims.
Leos are encouraged to mine their networks in the coming weeks.
“With Jupiter moving into your 11th house of friendships and goals, your social circle is about to pay off in a big way. Group projects, investors, sponsorships – they’re all on the table. Your natural charm is turned all the way up, so rally your connections and watch doors open,” Boyd says. “But Jupiter’s energy is generous, sometimes too generous. You could find yourself saying yes to everything, which can spread your time and money thin.”
Boyd recommends that members of the lion pride list the relationships that bring them closer to their goal and those that drain their energy and resources.
“Say yes to the first and no to the rest.”
For Cancers, this Jupiter transit lands in their 12th house of the unseen and the unconscious.
According to Boyd, this heralds a time to review cash money matters that are cloak and dagger, veiled, and/or illicit.
“It’s time to look at the finances you usually keep out of sight – overseas deals, hidden costs, charitable donations, or old debts. This transit asks you to get real about what’s been lurking under the surface.”
Don’t neglect bills, carefully investigate all fees and charges, and if you’ve got money hiding in a series of shallow graves in the backyard, consider digging it up and depositing it where it can grow more than mold and mistrust.
“Use this time to clear out old obligations and make a solid plan for the future,” Boyd suggests.
Ahoy, Virgo! This transit is amplifying your 10th house of legacy, vocation and authority figures.
“This is your chance to get noticed – whether it’s a promotion, public recognition, or a career pivot that finally feels right. It’s also a great time to learn new skills, find mentors, or start building your personal brand.”
By nature, Jupiter wants to do all things in every direction, but Boyd warns that fast, loose and overcommitted is a losing game for the Virgo contingent.
“Focus is your best friend right now. Pick the one or two things that will bring the biggest impact and pour your energy into them. Remember to pace yourself and celebrate each win along the way.
“Slow and steady, Virgo – you’ve got this.”
