OK – this isn’t strictly speaking TAROT, but I’m making it into a tarot post by the end, so keep reading!
The Sunday Times Rich List (Britain and Ireland) actually looked at the birth signs of the top 1000 earners (where known). It makes for interesting reading:
Gemini 116
Aquarius 93
Libra 82
Total Air signs 291
Pisces 91
Scorpio 71
Cancer 88
Total Water signs 250
Taurus 98
Virgo 89
Capricorn 90
Total Earth signs 277
Aries 96
Leo 106
Sagittarius 102
Total Fire signs 304
Best performing individual sign Gemini – the Air sign – The dare-devil with mental agility…… the Knight of Swords!
Worst performing individual sign Scorpio – Water sign – The diplomatic, empathetic…….. King of Cups.
With a total of 1122 signs being considered (some of the top earners are in bands or partnerships, which causes there to be so many actual birth dates to consider)
Fire signs 27%
Earth signs 25%
Water signs 22%
Air signs 26% (all figs rounded up/down to nearest whole no)
Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the assertive ‘Yang’ signs of Wands and Swords are the biggest earners with 53% of the overall swag bag. The ‘Yin’ suits of Earth and Water on 47%.
The relationship-focussed suit of Cups has the fewest high earners in the top 1000 …..
The suit traditionally associated with the making and keeping of wealth, Pentacles, performs next worst (or third best, depending on how you look at it!)
What do you think? Time for Pentacles to hang up their crowns as the money guys? A load of old tosh?!

It's only the Sun signs though, right? It would be interesting to see the results using total elemental and triplicity (cardinal-fixed-mutable)scores! Or even comparing Ascendants (just as important as the Sun sign!).

Well, if you are looking for a project, I'm sure that you could get your paws on a copy of The Rich List and ascertain their DOBs and get that info together. A long project! π

The statistician in me wants to know each f these differences are significant. It would also be good to plot it according to season as summer babies do worse in life generally !

I was surprised that the Earth signs in general were not better represented. I wonder if we looked at this same thing from 50 years ago, if we would see a big difference in representation.

Might be entirely different in 12 months, never mind 50 years, Bonnie π
