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?!

Stop being confused by court cards! Start being excited by the possibilities! Become a court card adventurer along with me 🙂 The Tarot’s Court Cards are my specialist area. They talk to me. Not LITERALLY though ….
