But can a star sign predict how you will manage your superannuation? Find out in your super horoscope. Keep in mind the following reading by Madame Zodiac is fictional but there are also some great super tips no matter what sign you are that everyone can follow! 

Aries

Those born under the sign of Aries are known for their passion and stubbornness. Never one to back down from a fight you bring this same energy to your super. If your brother Joe is making extra contributions – then so are you, just $10 more a week than he is! Keep your passion for your finances constantly fed by downloading the TelstraSuper app and keep a daily eye on your super.

Taurus

As a dependable Taurus you work hard and like to keep your money safe. The only problem is you also like to buy the best and share the bling with those you love. Don’t let your generous nature compete with your financial acumen. Think about making extra contributions into your super to help boost your future and reduce the temptation to spend not save.

Gemini

The dual nature of Geminis mean you’re sharp as a tack, but you also suffer from indecision. Take advantage of your intelligence and natural curiosity and seek help when making superannuation decisions. Why be in two minds about your super when you can give the TelstraSuper Financial Planning advice team a call? You can chat to them about making contributions, reviewing your investments or insurance over the phone at no additional cost.   

Cancer

Cancerians are known for their hard work and generosity, but at the first sign of failure you consider abandoning ship. Use your dedication to turn this negative attitude around when it comes to your super. Superannuation is a long-term investment that benefits from careful planning so consider learning the investment basics.

Leo

Leos, you’re so headstrong it can take a lot to change your mind when you have your heart set on something. Luckily, you have your sights set on a bright future and this is reflected in how you manage your super. Take a look if your super is on track.

Virgo

Virgos are both practical and intelligent but sometimes don’t always ask the big picture questions. Don’t let your super fade to the background because you don’t know what type of investor you are.  Consider your circumstances and decide if your super investment option matches your risk profile. 

Libra

Ever the diplomat, Librans thrive in social situations, but your tendency to spend on yourself and your friends can unbalance your financial future. Do you know what your income is after expenses? Have a closer look at where your money is going, start to build a nest egg and begin impressing others with your financial acumen.

Scorpio

Focussed Scorpios have sharp instincts and like to be in control, but unfortunately you can’t plan for the unexpected. What you can plan for is the right insurance to take care of whatever life throws at you. Have a look at what insurance you receive through your superannuation account and decide if this is right for you.

Sagittarius

Confident and generous Sagittarians are a blast to be around, but they are not the most practical sign and can be careless with money. It’s important to not be cavalier when it comes to your super—your financial future could depend on it.  And to make sure you haven’t lost or forgotten any super along the way use our online search tool, and get your super sorted.

Capricorn

Highly ambitious Capricorns have big life goals and are well on the way to achieving them.  The good news is through sensible decisions and disciplined spending your super is likely to be organised and your retirement dream is starting to take shape. Take a look at our Retirement Income Projector and get a better idea of what your retirement might look like. 

Aquarius

Aquarians are the perfect mix of intelligence, independence and creativity. You have the talent to generate a great income and you don’t mind sharing this with those who need it more.  Your heart of gold makes you special, but don’t forget to put some plans in place to consider your superannuation

Pisces

Kind hearted Pisceans—don’t let your intuition guide your superannuation plan. Turn your ability to think outside the box to your finances, and start using your creative ideas to save money and create a nest egg for your future. Have a look at the different ways you can boost your super.
