Have you ever wondered why some people seem to attract money with ease while others struggle? Experts suggest it may not be luck alone—your birth month could play a role in your financial destiny.
According to astrologers Rebecca Gordon (author of Your Body and the Stars) and Lisa Stardust (author of Saturn Return Survival Guide), certain months are more closely tied to wealth-building traits.
“It can denote a person’s attributes and abilities,” Stardust explains. “Each birth month is unique in the flavor it adds to one’s overall vibe.”
Below are the five birth months experts connect most often with wealth and success.
January – The Disciplined Climbers
January-born people start the year with focus and determination. “Those born in January put their energy into setting off the new year in style and power,” says Stardust. They commit to resolutions, especially around saving and investing.
Rebecca Gordon highlights Capricorns (Dec 22 – Jan 19) as some of the highest earners of all zodiac signs. “Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of hard work and discipline,” she explains. This relentless drive often translates into impressive wealth. Notable January-born figures include Jeff Bezos (Jan 12) and Oprah Winfrey (Jan 29).
May – The Luxury Builders
Those born in May are naturally grounded and persistent. Stardust calls them “earthy” personalities who pursue goals with patience and tenacity. Their hard work often leads to financial security, which supports their love of comfort and indulgence.
Gordon notes that May falls under Taurus season (Apr 20 – May 20), ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and luxury. “Tauruses instinctively know how to preserve their resources,” Gordon says, which helps them maintain long-term wealth. Famous May-born success stories include Mark Zuckerberg (May 14) and Adele (May 5).
August – The Charismatic Leaders
August is closely tied to Leos (Jul 23 – Aug 22), a sign ruled by the Sun. “Leos will gravitate towards prominent roles,” Gordon explains. With charisma and confidence, they often become leaders in business, entertainment, and politics.
Stardust adds that their natural flair makes them thrive in high-visibility careers where wealth and influence go hand in hand. Prominent August-born names include Barack Obama (Aug 4), Madonna (Aug 16), and Martha Stewart (Aug 3).
September – The Perfectionist Achievers
September-born people are often career-driven and meticulous. “They are known to be workaholics that seek perfection,” Stardust says. Many channel this into consistent financial growth.
Stardust also links September to scarcity fears—an internal push that motivates these individuals to build security and wealth. Their strong attention to detail can set them apart in competitive industries. Notable examples include Beyoncé (Sep 4) and Bernie Sanders (Sep 8).
October – The Intuitive Strategists
October-born individuals often pair intuition with resilience. “This is a time of rebirth and insight,” Stardust explains. People born this month can recover quickly from financial setbacks and build solid foundations for long-term success.
October is tied to Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22), another Venus-ruled sign. Gordon says this influence draws them toward luxury, fame, and material success. Famous October-born personalities include Kim Kardashian (Oct 21) and Bill Gates (Oct 28).
Final Takeaway
While experts highlight these five months as most aligned with wealth, both Gordon and Stardust caution that money isn’t determined by birth month alone. “Each person has a prosperity signature unique to their Sun sign,” Gordon says.
Still, the traits linked to these months—discipline, charisma, persistence, and intuition—are exactly the qualities that often build lasting success.
