Subtle Common Traits of Polar Opposite Zodiac Signs

Opposite signs in astrology are known as sister signs. Although at first glance they may represent two different worlds, the sister signs are connected by subtle commonalities. Our opposite signs provide a mirror that shows us how to uncover dormant aspects of our personality.

Likewise, while it’s easy to resent the traits of our sister signs, sometimes that resentment reflects areas in which we feel less confident in ourselves. Understanding our sister signs can help heal these insecurities. Growing up means learning to appreciate the qualities of our sister signs that can help us rise up, feel more comfortable with who we are, and find self-love.

Aries and Libra

These two signs represent the battle between interdependence and independence. Aries is the warrior ruled by Mars and Libra is the lover ruled by Venus. However, these signs may have more similarities than expected.

Although Aries may crave a battle, they enjoy being in love, so Aries-Venus sign may indicate someone more willing to jump in and out of relationships – they like the feeling of finding someone new and falling in love with them.

Libra is a skilled diplomat who can make Libras tacticians and warriors in their own way. They may avoid conflict because they are channeling their sister sign, and may appear more ruthless if pushed.

Both Scorpio and Taurus enjoy the romantic energy surrounding their lives. Art, music, food, travel and experiencing the beauty of life are synonymous with Taurus and are also valued by Scorpio as Taurus rules their seventh house.

The Venusian sign wants harmony and love, so when these efforts fail, Taurus can be seen as a very changeable sign, similar to Scorpio. Mars in Taurus is huge and Mars doesn’t function as well in this sign for some reason. Mars is fixed in this sign, which means it will be difficult to get him to change his mind. Mars in Taurus is a volcano, and given enough pressure it can erupt violently.

Meanwhile, Venus in Scorpio can love unconditionally and exhibit the wonderful qualities of Venus when it finds a partner to love and trust.
