It was a gray Tuesday in late fall, and a small astrology studio in Brooklyn was strangely busy. The phones rang on the counter, the smell of incense and burnt coffee fought for attention, and the walls kept saying, “Only four signs will hit seven figures in 2026.” People in their plastic chairs moved around, half-laughing and half-panicking, as if the sky had just decided who would get a raise and who would have to keep counting pennies.
A woman in a used blazer said to her friend, “What’s the point if my sign isn’t on that list?” The joke she told didn’t quite work. It was like a lottery draw in the room, but no one had signed up for it.
The astrologer looked at the chart on her laptop, sighed, and said, “At least on paper, cosmic inequality is real.”

Why astrologers believe that 2026 will be very unfair
A lot of people on astrology forums and TikTok lives keep saying that the sky in 2026 will only be good for a few zodiac signs. People talk about “millionaire transits” and “doomed charts” like they are test scores that have been leaked. People take pictures of their horoscopes, zoom in on dates they don’t quite understand, and still feel their stomachs tighten.
Astrologers talk about rare alignments, Jupiter and Pluto’s power aspects, and a big reset in terms of money and status. On the screen, those lines and shapes look cold and like math. People’s minds make them into something much sharper: a sense that the universe is quietly choosing winners and losers.
Maya, 29, is a Leo from Manchester who works two jobs and reads every astrology post she can find. She spent the whole night switching between her banking app and her birth chart after a viral astrologer said that “only Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Capricorn have millionaire potentials in 2026.” She did the math and realized that even if she saved every extra pound, she would still be a long way from having seven figures.
Yet the prediction lodged in her brain. She began to notice every little “sign,” like an unexpected freelance offer, a surprise bonus, or even a lucky parking spot. Each one was proof that she might, just might, be one of the chosen few. On the other hand, her Pisces boyfriend joked that he had been “cosmically assigned to lifelong overdraft status.”
Astrologers who support this “cosmic inequality” point to hard, slow-moving planets hitting the financial areas of the zodiac wheel. They say that a rare combination of Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto will act like a spotlight, shining resources and attention on only certain signs while the rest stay in the dark.
From a symbolic point of view, it makes sense: astrology has always used timing and scarcity to explain why some people have doors open for them while others have doors closed. The issue arises when that symbolism infiltrates self-esteem. If someone tells you that your sign is “not in the millionaire club,” it’s easy to think, “I’m not meant for money, ever.”
The four “chosen” signs and what everyone else can really do
Astrologers who support this story usually focus on the same four signs: **Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Capricorn**. They say that these signs will get big boosts in the houses that have to do with money, investments, and long-term status in 2026. In plain English, they say they have more wind in their sails when it comes to making big money moves.
But here’s what people often forget: the wind doesn’t move a boat that’s tied to the dock. The most sensible astrologers say that these transits are chances to get more energy, not VIP passes to a sure fortune. The only real “method” for any sign is painfully down to earth: keeping track of money, finding new ways to make money, and learning the boring basics of finance. Whether it’s cosmic or not, a plan still needs spreadsheets.
When people find out they’re not one of the lucky four, they often give up quietly. They look at social media, watch another video about someone winning a lot of money in crypto overnight, and then decide the game is rigged before they even know the rules.
That’s where the real harm happens. A chart can’t stop you from asking for a raise, applying for a scholarship, or finally starting the side business you’ve been talking about for three years. The trap is using your sign as an excuse to put off every hard money talk. To be honest, no one does this every day. A lot of us read our horoscopes all at once and then put off looking at our bank statements until the 27th of the month.
Some astrologers are trying to change the story. They don’t try to scare people; instead, they talk about “money climates” that everyone can use in their own way. One of them, Clara Devereux, an astrologer in Paris, told me over video chat:
“I know that “only four millionaire signs” sounds good. But you don’t have to be one of them to be safe. You’re just playing a different kind of money game, with different strengths and times.
To make it easier to understand, she breaks 2026 down like this:
Taurus and Scorpio: You will have to make big changes in how you make and spend money. You will also have to let go of bad financial habits, which will be hard.
Leo and Capricorn: Focus on your career, leadership, and reputation. You may be able to make money from skills you’ve had for years but haven’t valued.
Other signs: Strong transits for learning, making connections, and getting over money shame. These are the foundations that the “lucky four” wish they had laid earlier.
That framing is less glamorous, more grown-up, and quietly radical in a space that loves quick-fix predictions.
How to deal with “cosmic inequality” without going crazy
Astrology has always played with fate. When money gets involved, that flirtation can turn into a full-blown toxic relationship. Being told that you’re “not meant” for wealth hits the same nerve as being told as a child that you’re “not good with numbers.” It stays.
But there’s another way to look at the sky in 2026: as a reflection of the economy we’re already living in. A world where a few people ride the stock market and inheritance, while the rest have to plan every trip to the grocery store. The phrase “only four millionaire signs” makes that point more dramatic, but it also raises a more difficult question: what do we consider wealth, and who gets to say what it is? Maybe that’s the real line the stars are drawing, quietly, over all of us.
