Money Matchmaker

Pisces

(February 19 - March 20)
If you have ever wondered how business relations might go with someone of another sign, look no further. For our Money Matchmaker, KT, The Astrologer has researched every combination so you can easily figure out your financially compatibility with business and life partners.

Pisces/Aries
You admire your Aries partner’s courage, Pisces, including their bold attitude toward money. They live life out loud in general, and part of that might be spending their cash without much forethought or relying too heavily on credit. Their investing strategy is aggressive and high-risk, which sometimes pays off, but other times crashes and burns. But they’re innovative enough to pick themselves up again after a failure and push once again toward success. The job of managing your shared assets is probably up to Aries, because as a sensitive Pisces, you’re weighed down by mundane tasks like budgeting and number-crunching. Thus, as long as you two are partners, your financial profile might never be very steady. At least you both have an easygoing relationship with money, and aren’t too worried when times are lean.

Pisces/Taurus
Misplacing receipts, forgetting to pay your bills, feeling overwhelmed when you start adding up your monthly expenses -- any of these might be a regular occurrence for you, Pisces, because you’re neither motivated by money nor grounded in material concerns. Your Taurus partner, on the other hand, is a natural with money, and can earn and keep track of it with relative ease. Accounting duties fall to Taurus in this partnership, which is fine with you. You two actually make a fine financial partnership in the sense that you’re flexible enough to go along with Taurus’s plans, and they’re accommodating enough to work around any shortcomings you may have in this area. Thanks to Taurus, you probably have a budget and retirement and savings accounts in place -- things you might not take care of on your own.

Pisces/Gemini
You and your Gemini partner probably have trouble staying on top of your finances. As a dreamy Pisces, you’re easily overwhelmed by tasks like determining the best investment strategy or even just keeping up with the household bills. And while Gemini might enjoy researching various financial strategies, with their short attention span, they aren’t one to follow through on long-term savings plans. Furthermore, they’re impulsive in their spending, and their investment instincts probably focus on short-term, high-risk ventures that could pay off big but could just as easily leave you in the hole. Still, since you’re both flexible by nature, your easy-come, easy-go attitude toward money could work in your favor in the long run, since even in leaner times, you’ll make do with what you have.

Pisces/Cancer
As a dreamy Pisces, you probably aren’t much for adhering to a strict budget or carefully filing away your receipts. Investment strategies are mind-boggling at best; in fact, you prefer to leave most of your financial dealings up to your Cancer partner. It’s a good thing, then, that they’re happy to take charge of this area of your relationship. Cancers are naturally protective of both their loved ones and their assets, and their primary goal is long-term security. Keeping track of your mutual financial dealings is just one of the ways your Cancer partner demonstrates their commitment to you and to the life or business you share.

Pisces/Leo
Debt could become a serious problem for you and your Leo partner. Indulgent Leo enjoys spending lavishly on their every desire, and as the credit card charges mount, you feel more and more overwhelmed. Mundane tasks like paying bills promptly and finding the best interest rates on loans can also get the best of you. If you’re having trouble paying down your debts, it might be prudent to hire a financial advisor who can help you set up a workable plan for reducing your debt and your expenses. Otherwise, work with your Leo partner to create a budget -- one that includes some leeway for Leo’s expensive tastes. Simple, straightforward tactics like reserving a certain percentage of your monthly income can also take the guesswork out of saving money for the future.

Pisces/Virgo
Staying on top of your finances is a tall order for you, Pisces. Number-crunching tends to overwhelm you, as do mundane daily responsibilities like keeping up with the bills and sticking to your budget. It’s a good thing, then, that your partner is a practical Virgo, whose ease with numbers and accounting might boggle your mind! They actually enjoy calculating expenses, and they’re good at working out viable, if conservative, methods for saving and investing your shared earnings. Problems could arise between you, however, when critical Virgo comes down on you too hard for losing your checkbook or forgetting about a meeting with your loan officer. Virgo may just have to accept the responsibility of money management in this relationship.

Pisces/Libra
Saving and investing your money wisely could be a tall order for you and your Libra partner. As a sensitive Pisces, you may avoid the demands of regular budgeting; you might also give your money away to people or causes that need it more than you do. And artistic Libra enjoys splurging on pleasures that are sometimes frivolous and often expensive. Though Libra might take charge of your shared finances, their indecisiveness can mean they miss out on promising investment opportunities. Since you both have trouble balancing your savings and expenses, you’ll have to come up with creative ways of handling these issues. Try creating a spreadsheet listing your monthly expenses and income, or putting your bills’ due dates on a calendar that’s prominently displayed someplace where you both can see it.

Pisces/Scorpio
Money management isn’t exactly your forte, Pisces. You tend to be dreamy and sensitive, and keeping track of bills, interest rates and investment strategies seems like an overwhelming prospect at best. But long-term security is a primary focus for your shrewd Scorpio partner. They have a natural understanding of and resourcefulness with money, and they work hard to build a solid financial profile. Best of all, they don’t tend to bother you with the details -- though they may pester you to keep track of your daily expenditures, which can be difficult for you. Still, you’re flexible enough to follow their lead. Because you two share a strong emotional bond, you trust Scorpio to devise effective strategies for saving, investing and growing your funds.

Pisces/Sagittarius
At an idea level, you and your Sagittarius partner have a lot in common. Your conversations range far and wide, and you inspire each other creatively. But since neither one of you is very concerned with down-to-earth, real-world concerns like money, budgets and investments, your finances could become a real mess. Bounced checks and overdue bills could be commonplace; neither one of you might be willing to investigate higher-return investment strategies or even savings accounts with decent interest rates. If these are issues between you, you would do well to hire a financial advisor you trust. Also, paying bills and balancing your budget should be a part of your list of regular chores, no matter how tedious or overwhelming that might seem.

Pisces/Capricorn
Your finances could be an area of friction between you and your Capricorn partner. As a dreamy Pisces, you just aren’t that interested in keeping a strict daily budget or figuring out a lucrative investment plan. Money doesn’t mean that much to you -- certainly not as much as love, kindness and other intangibles. It’s a good thing your spouse can take on the job of family accountant, but they can also be a little too bossy regarding how you spend your cash and how you keep up with your expenditures. Good communication is essential here, as is the art of compromise. You and your partner can work out a plan that works for both of you, as long as you’re both willing to communicate clearly and gently, taking each other’s strengths and shortcomings into account.

Pisces/Aquarius
It may be best to hand over accounting responsibilities to your Aquarius partner, dear Pisces. As a passive, dreamy soul, you just aren’t interested in the bottom line, and daily responsibilities like strict budgets and getting bills paid or taxes filed on time often elude you, and may even overwhelm you. Of course, it could be argued that your Aquarius counterpart is no more anchored to reality than you are; they’re into speculative ventures and may try many different progressive investment strategies before settling on one that works for them. But they also possess a solid core of strength and determination that enables them to think of the long term when managing your mutual assets. They also appreciate your flexibility and willingness to go along with their schemes, no matter how out-there they might be.

Pisces/Pisces
For dreamy Pisces, building a solid financial profile relies on being alert, informed and realistic about both your assets and your financial options. This could be a tall order for you and your Pisces partner, as you both have to work against nature to be savvy about purchases, investments and other financial strategies. Even mundane tasks like balancing your checkbook or keeping a daily budget may seem daunting, so you’ll have to figure out a system that works for both of you. This may include hiring a financial advisor you trust, posting weekly bill-paying sessions on your calendar, or any other method that will help you keep adequate tabs on your finances.
