You can bank on these zodiac signs.

The Small Business Bloganalyzed the birthdates of the world’s top billionaires, finding that one-third share just three star signs: Libra, Pisces and Taurus.

That’s not all that they have in common in a surprise to absolutely no one, 88% of billionaires are male, 65% are white, and 90% are 50 or older.

For reference: Amazon founder and apex Capricorn daddy Jeff Bezos (worth $200 billion) recently dethroned Tesla CEO and Cancer Elon Musk ($198 billion) as the richest person on Earth.

Read on to learn if your sign falls in line with the 1%.

Libras make up 12% of the world’s billionaires. Ruled by Venus and represented by the divine scales of Justice, Librans have a strong sense of aesthetics and a weakness for things they can’t afford.

Skilled and shameless social climbers, they leverage their good taste for upward mobility and invitations to elite social circles. Libras are great at ambient lighting, cocktail banter, and convincing other people to give them money.

Libras are great at ambient lighting, cocktail banter, and convincing other people to give them money.

Libras understand that while being a starving artist might be romantic, being a filthy rich capitalist with an artful empire is more their speed.

Notable Libra billionaires include Ralph Lauren who, true to his sign, commodified rich person sports and his sartorial interpretation of the American West, turning aspirational “wish I was a WASP” fashion into a billion-dollar business.

Other appallingly rich Libras include Alice Walton, heiress to the Walmart fortune and avid art curator, collector, and museum chair, and Amancio Ortega, founder of Inditex, the worlds largest fashion retailer.

Pisces people account for 11% of the world’s billionaires. Dreamy AF and intuitive as can be, they were born to sell fantasy and the boozy promise of escape.

Case (of booze) in point is Bernard Arnault founder and CEO of LVMH, the worlds largest luxury goods company, with a portfolio that includes Mot & Chandon, Dom Prignon, Krug, Veuve Clicquot, Belvedere, and Hennessy. Bottoms up to the bottom dollar.

Other Pisces billionaires include Nike co-founder Phil Knight and Rupert Murdoch.

Taurus folks make up 10% of the world’s billionaires, and as the sign that rules the second house of wealth and worth, it tracks.

Bulls love fancy s–t and the holy grind to get it. A stubborn and ruthless mixture of self-possessed and straight-up possessive, they represent the toddler phase of human development. In kind and at their most base they live by the creed “mine and more” and “too much is never enough.”

Their aim is stability at all costs and comfort without concessions.

Examples of billionaire bulls include Facebook co-founder/CEO Mark Zuckerberg, vacuum magnate James Dyson, David Koch, and Altana heiress/BMW shareholder/philanthropist/richest woman in Germany Susanne Klatten.

Earth’s Oceans Enter Danger Zone Due to Rising Acidification, New Study Warns

Earth’s Oceans Enter Danger Zone Due to Rising Acidification, New Study Warns

The oceans of Earth are in worse condition than it was, thought, said the scientists. This is because of the increased acidity levels that led the sea to enter the danger zone five years ago. As per the new study, oceans are more acidic by releasing carbon dioxide from industrial activities such as fossil fuel burning. This acidification of the oceans damages marine life and the ecosystem, in turn threatening the coastal human communities that are dependent on healthy waters for their life.

Oceans May Have Crossed the Danger Zone in 2020

In the study published on Monday, June 9, 2025, in the journal Global Change Biology, researchers have found that acidification is highly advanced tha it was considered in the previous years. Our oceans might have entered the danger zone in the year 2020. Previous research suggested that the oceans of Earth were approaching a danger zone for ocean acidification.

How Ocean Acidification Happens

Ocean acidification is driven by the absorption of ocean of excess CO2 into the ocean, which is rapidly contributing to the global crisis. CO2 dissolves in seawater, forming carbonic acid, lowering pH levels and invading the vital carbonate ions. This threatens the species in the water, such as corals and shellfish, which depend on calcium carbonate to build their skeletons and shells.

The Planetary Boundary May Be Breached

Recent research depicts that the ocean acidification levels may now be breached, crossing the previous estimate of a 19% aragonite decline from the previous industrial levels. Scientists are alarmed that this change could destabilise the ecosystems of marine and, in turn, the coastal economies. This is a ticking bomb with socioeconomic and environmental consequences.

Global Consequences of Acidification

The recent findings suggest that scientists have feared in the past. Ocean acidification has reached dangerous levels, exceeding the limit that is needed to maintain a healthy and stable environment. As critical habitats degrade, the rippling effects are expected to cause harm to biodiversity, impact food security for many of the people who depend on the oceans for their livelihood.

NASA Chandra Spots Distant X-Ray Jet; Telescope Faces Major Budget Cuts

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected an enormous X-ray jet from quasar J1610+1811, observed at a distance of about 11.6 billion light-years (roughly 3 billion years after the Big Bang). The jet spans over 300,000 light-years and carries particles moving at roughly 92–98% of the speed of light. It is visible in X-rays because high-energy electrons in the jet collide with the much denser cosmic microwave background at that epoch, boosting microwave photons into X-ray energies. These results were presented at the 246th AAS meeting and accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal.

Discovery of the Distant X-ray Jet

According to the study, Chandra’s high-resolution X-ray imaging, combined with radio data, allowed the team to isolate the jet at such a great distance. At the quasar’s distance (about 3 billion years after the Big Bang), the cosmic microwave background was much denser. As a result, relativistic electrons in the jet efficiently scatter CMB photons to X-ray energies. From the multiwavelength data the researchers infer that the jet’s particles are moving at roughly 0.92–0.98 c. Such near-light-speed outflows are among the fastest known.

These powerful jets carry enormous energy into intergalactic space and provide a unique probe of how black holes influenced their surroundings during the universe’s early “cosmic noon” era.

Chandra’s Future at Risk

However, the Chandra mission now faces possible defunding: NASA’s proposed budget calls for drastic cuts to its operating funds. For nearly 25 years, Chandra has been a cornerstone of X-ray astronomy, so its loss would constitute a major setback. The SaveChandra campaign warns that losing Chandra would be an “extinction-level event” for U.S. X-ray astronomy. Scientists warn that ending Chandra prematurely would cripple X-ray science.

Andrew Fabian commented Science magazine, “I’m horrified by the prospect of Chandra being shut down prematurely”. Elisa Costantini added in an interview with Science that if cuts proceed, “you will lose a whole generation ” and it will leave “a hole in our knowledge” of high-energy astrophysics. Without Chandra’s capabilities, many studies of the energetic universe would no longer be possible.
