In the zodiac wheel, the signs that fall exactly 180 degrees apart on the opposite spectrums of each other are known as sister signs. In layman’s terms, their core characteristics are different but motivations and goals are karmically aligned.

They do not belong to the same elements (fire, earth, air and water) but their modalities (fixed, cardinal and mutable) are the same. While their traits and core nature might differ, their perspective on life and other macro facets are in sync. They are a perfect example of the phrase, ‘opposites attract’.

Which are the astrological sister signs of the zodiac?

Aries and Libra

The cardinal fire sign denoted by the ram is ruled by the red-hot planet of ambition and aggression, Mars. When it comes in contact with its polar opposite, a non-confrontational and well-balanced cardinal air sign of Libra, sparks are bound to fly. The two cardinal signs have also proved to be a remarkable combination of guts and style. A heady romance is possible between the two.

Aries is ruled by its mind and is headstrong but extremely passionate and giving in nature. Libra, on the other hand, is a Venusian sign that loves to appreciate beauty in every form and weighs in all sides carefully before arriving at a decision. Libra is naturally attracted to Aries’s bold never-say-die attitude and the ability to make quick decisions.

Also, this romantic air sign fans Aries’ ambers of passion. Naturally, they are a killer combo.

Taurus and Scorpio

Taurus is an indulgent but hardworking earth sign governed by Venus, while Scorpio is a dark, intense and emotional water sign governed by the planet of resurrection, Pluto. Both fixed in their modalities complement each other’s need for support and security.

With their different elements and modalities, they can give each other a grounding foundation full of trust and stability. Taurean influences make its sister zodiac sign, Scorpio, less cynical and open to experiencing luxuries and living a little more.

Gemini and Sagittarius

A flirty air sign (Gemini) full of curiosity meets the adventurous fire sign (Sagittarius). This combo can only be described as electric! Their common mutable modality makes them open to challenges and new life experiences.

Gemini’s need to know is fed by Sag’s inner motivation to seek thrill! Together, they can rule the world!

Cancer and Capricorn

Sombre and sincere, Cancer and Capricorn like to keep their issues close to their hearts. While Cancer is an emotional water sign, Capricorn is its practical counterpart. Both rooted in their families and stoic with their loyalties display cardinal modalities.

The Capricornian relentlessness is very helpful to the Cancerian disposition of being moody, feeling low and giving up on people and situations easily. The earth sign denoted by the sea goat helps its astrological sister sign to keep self-belief and its motivation high to tackle various issues of life.

Leo and Aquarius

It is an unlikely pair, this one. While one is a dazzling fire sign brimming with confidence and exuberance to take on the world, the other is a distant, quiet intellectual. Their team is a mix of smarts and courage in equal parts.

While Leo is ruled by the Sun, which aids positivity and growth, Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, which signifies innovation. This is the dream team to work on a project designed to use revolutionary technology to better mankind.

Virgo and Pisces

Virgo is symbolised by the Maiden and ruled by the planet of communication, Mercury. Pisces is the most meditative of all zodiac signs governed by the planet of dreams, Neptune. Virgo + Pisces is a beautiful combination that is the perfect mix of logic and creativity.

These mutable signs have mutual respect for diversity and support each other in numerous ways. Pisces brings in a much-needed dash of magic to the otherwise mundane temperament of Virgos.

While not the most obvious thing to do, sister zodiac sign pairing still works very well together because their opposing qualities complete them. Not necessarily a romantic relationship, sister zodiac pairs could be found in siblings, platonic friends, colleagues or even in the parent-child equation.

It may be a bit unconventional to club sister zodiac signs together in any setup. But their differences and unique dynamics make them invincible together. Check your sun as well as your rising sign to find out your sister sign
