Money on your mind? You might be among 4 zodiac signs whose financial luck will change this week

Yahoo27-05-2025

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.
Read for your sun and rising sign.
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.'

Aaron Judge's $20K diamond gavel necklace was gifted to him by a teammate

All rise for this surprise. The secret's out about Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge's much-discussed new bling that has captivated fans for months. The traditionally low-key Yankees right-fielder has been spotted sporting a splashy gavel necklace this season, a nod to his All Rise Foundation. Advertisement While he previously shared that it was a gift, refusing to comment further, The Post has exclusively learned that the custom, $20,000 charm was given to the team captain by outfielder Giancarlo Stanton. The stunner is set in 14-carat white gold with more than 12 carats in top-quality VVS-graded diamonds, plus three bands of glistening purple amethysts, and was created by AJ Machado at AJ's Jewelry in Miami, the gem maker confirmed to The Post. Yankees teammates Stanton and Jazz Chisholm Jr. have been long-time clients, Machado said — the former since he was a player with the Miami Marlins from 2010 to 2017 before coming to New York in 2018. 11 The Post can confirm it was made by AJ Machado at AJ's Jewelry in Miami. AJ's Jewelry Advertisement 11 Machado said the $20,000 bling was gifted to Judge by teammate Giancarlo Stanton. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Stanton came to Machado at the beginning of the training season, wanting to create something unique for his friend. The baseball player and the jeweler toiled over several drafts to come up with a dazzling design that was 'custom and nothing too big, something he can wear during the game,' per Stanton's request. Advertisement The bejeweled bauble contains a few personal details: Nora, the name of Judge's daughter, as well as her birthday 1/27/25; Sam, short for his wife's name, Samantha; Gus and Penny, his dog's names; and a '2x,' a nod to his two MVP awards. There's also a rose made of rose gold, mixed in with white diamonds on top. 11 Recently at Yankee Stadium, Aaron Judge caught everyone's attention not because of his game but the custom diamond-encrusted gavel necklace he's been wearing. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post 11 Machado said Stanton requested something 'custom and nothing too big, something he can wear during the game.' AJ's Jewelry Advertisement 11 Stanton (right) hit up Machado at the beginning of the training season hoping to make something for his pal. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Machado shipped the impressive pendant to Stanton, who eventually texted his Miami man that 'Judge loved it.' The Post has reached out to Judge and Stanton for comment. Machado also got tickets to a Yankees game while in New York City last weekend to attend a Jazz Chisholm Foundation fashion event, where the athlete modeled a custom Birkin bag from Madison Avenue Couture with more than 1,000 Swarovski crystals replicating his jersey. 11 The pendant also has Judge's daughter Nora's name and a rose made of rose gold, mixed in with white diamonds on top. AJ's Jewelry 11 Judge and Stanton Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post At the game, Machado was delighted to see the chic charm swinging around Judge's neck while at bat. 'It was pretty cool,' he admitted. Advertisement Of course, it's not the first time Machado has seen his pieces on the field or on a star. 11 Stanton and Judge JASON SZENES FOR THE NEW YORK POST 11 Machado said Stanton texted him to say that 'Judge loved it.' AP Machado, who opened his Miami shop in 1992, started making pieces for several University of Miami football players, and as word (and sparkle) spread, AJ's Jewelry became a top dealer for professional athletes. Advertisement He claims he has at least one client on each of the 32 NFL teams, nearly half of the 30 NBA teams, and many of the 30 MLB teams. 'We just blew up,' he said. 'We have over 500 athletes in that and between the NFL, NBA and MLB.' 11 Machado counts many VIPs as clients, including Drake. AJ's Jewelry 11 Drake's necklace has 80 carats in diamonds, each diamond weighing a carat, and sold for $285,000. AJ's Jewelry Advertisement In 2011, ESPN named Machado 'the most well-connected' custom designer 'in all of pro sports,' and in 2017, he was given the honor of making the University of Miami's massive, 36-inch, 5½-pound sapphire-studded turnover chain. Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been a client for more than a decade, Machado said, and more recently, rapper Drake reportedly spent about $300,000 on some charms and custom chains.

Sorry, parents! Your grown-up kids don't want to leave the family home in these sun-soaked US cities

Few dream of living with their parents into adulthood, but it's a reality for many. An average of 11.8% of working adults still live with their parents, a new study by LendingTree found. The analysis of 50 major US metros revealed where adult children are less likely to leave the nest. Sunny — and expensive — cities in California and Florida stood out. Matt Schulz, LendingTree's chief consumer finance analyst, told The Post that the results were a clear 'sign of the times.' 'In previous generations, moving back in with mom and dad might have been a sign of defeat or failure, but it's not really seen that way now,' Schulz said. 'People are much more practical, and people see the value in spending a little time with their parents.' 7 Nearly 12% of US adults in major metros still live with mom and dad. – 7 You won't find an abundance of empty nesters in Riverside, California. More than a fifth of working adults there reside with their parents. Matt Gush – 7 Miami, known for beautiful weather and high housing costs, also made the list. Earth Pixel LLC. – More than one in five working adults in Riverside, Calif. live with their parents, according to the study. Nearby Los Angeles is a close second at 20% of adults, followed by Miami at 19.8%. The data, drawn from the 2018 and 2023 US Census Bureau American Community Surveys, reveal a mixture of economic motivators for adults between the ages of 25 to 40 to stay at home. In Riverside, a prohibitively high cost of living likely motivates adults to stay under their parents' roof and save, Schulz said. Meanwhile, in cities like Detroit, the 15.6% of grown-ups still living with their parents may feel the pressures of low wages and limited job opportunities. On the flip side, metros with fewer pricing extremes and steadily increasing housing supply allow for more empty nesters, and kids with their own places. Hint: They're the places that grew most during COVID-19. 7 Austin's recent development boom gives adult children plenty of housing options away from home. f11photo – 7 The relatively low cost of living and ample job opportunities found in Raleigh, NC make it easy to hand the house key back to the folks. jayyuan – Austin, Texas; Raleigh, NC; and Denver have the lowest rates of adults living at home, ranging between 5.8% in Austin to 7% in Denver. Schulz attributed the highly independent adult populations of these cities to booming development and high purchasing power. 'It's really hard to overstate the importance of cost of living in terms of where people live,' Schulz said. 'And also having that room to grow.' Rates of parent-adult child cohabitation actually fell 8.3% between the study's range of 2018 and 2023. Only 13 metros saw increases, with a 22.1% increase in Las Vegas leading the charge. 7 At-home adult children aren't all basement-dwelling deadbeats. highwaystarz – 'One really significant thing that happened was the growth of remote work,' Schulz said. 'Maybe people were able to move someplace a little cheaper, and that might have afforded them the ability to move out.' The nearly 12% of working American adults who live with mom and dad are no basement-dwelling deadbeats. One third of them hold a bachelor's degree or higher, according to the analysis. They tend to earn less than their more independent peers — a good reason to stay home and save up. After all, mom's cooking isn't the only reason to keep bunking in your childhood bed. Working adults living at home, on average, would need to allocate more than 40% of their monthly income to rent a one-bedroom apartment, according to the study. That number rises all the way up to 54.3% in Tampa. 7 Experts advise working adults to take advantage of mom and dad's generosity, while you're still welcome. JackF – At the end of the day, living with one's folks can provide greater financial security and a serious savings boost, but it's not always ideal. Schulz said the ultimate goal for at-home adults should be to put away as much money as they possibly can to position themselves for the best possible flight from the nest. 'It is really important that people take advantage of the time they have living with their parents, financially,' Schulz said. 'But it's also important to not get so comfortable and settled that they end up overstaying their welcome.' As much as your parents love you, they probably don't necessarily want you to be 50 years old and still having to live with them.'
