What are Zodiac Opposites?
The Zodiac Signs can be charted in different ways, but one way puts them in a nice circle, and shows them across from their opposing Signs. Opposing Signs are exactly 180 degrees away from one another on the Zodiac wheel, and they are considered to be two halves of one another. They are also complimentary elements, meaning Fire Signs have Air Signs as complimentary Signs and Water Signs have Earth Signs as their complimentary Signs.

How Opposite Signs Interact
These so-called opposite or opposing Signs share personality traits, and have other traits that are opposite. What this means is together, they cover all the bases, handle everything perfectly, and make an unbeatable team. They may want to butt heads sometimes, but more often, they seamlessly fit together and are one another’s biggest supporters. Another way these Signs are characterized is complimentary. They learn from one another’s differences, and this promotes self-awareness, and personal growth.
Although many times, we seek out those who are most like us for relationships, if we open ourselves to embracing differences, life gets better. How? Because we experience more, push our boundaries, learn things we never could if we do everything all the same way all the time, and life is a bigger adventure. Our complimentary Signs pull feelings and habits out of us we did not know were there. They also show us the forbidden side of ourselves so we can embrace that. One so-called forbidden topic is sex- but not here. Read about the Zodiac Signs and sex here: Sex and the Signs
The Zodiac Polarities
All twelve Zodiac Signs have an opposite Sign they conflict, compliment, and grow with. Air Signs are opposite a Fire Sign, and these elements strengthen one another. Water Signs are opposite an Earth Sign, and these strengthen one another as well. This happens because they share things, see eye to eye in some ways, and encourage one another. They can also annoy one another half to death due to how they differ. Read on to find out what they share, and how they can use their differences to be better together.
Aries and Libra
Aries is a hotheaded, high energy Sign and you can never tell if they are coming or going. Libra tends to be more level-headed, and can explain things rationally to an impulsive Aries. Libras can also see every side to every situation, and deeply understands Aries’ feelings. That’s because secretly, Libras are just as easily excitable. They understand and respect Aries’ sensitivity because they feel the same way, in other words. Libras are different because know how to tame that impulsiveness within themselves.
They are energized by the Aries forcefulness. Both Signs are natural leaders who people effortlessly follow. They both need someone who they can respect to be close to in their personal time. Aries appreciates the fact Libra encourages them, and Libra is thankful to have someone like Aries who they feel is worth encouraging. Their biggest difference is Libra focuses on harmony in communications, and Aries will prioritize their goals over keeping the peace. Libra can learn to be more direct with people from Aries and Aries can learn to be a bit more diplomatic from Libras. Read about Aries here: Aries Traits | Star Sign in The Spotlight
Taurus and Scorpio
Both Taurus and Scorpio have some of the same bad habits. They both go out of their way for the people they love- even if they are not appreciated. They both lay nurturing on thick to the point of being suffocating sometimes. They both get mad if their efforts are not appreciated, and sometimes, they don’t notice if that special someone who they are focused on has been telling them to buzz off the whole time. They can both also be jealous, possessive, and not want to allow personal space in relationships. So, when they come together, they feel they get the exact amount of doting, support, and emotional attention from one another they want.
Where they differ is temperament. Taurus seeks a grounded life of peace and a solid homelife where they are comfortable with all the things and people they love. They have one way of doing things, their way, and they expect everyone else to fall in line with that. Scorpios live intensely, and have powerful emotions about everything. They can be very stubborn and expect to be accommodated, but they blow up quickly, whereas it takes a lot to push a Taurus to an emotional meltdown. Taurases tolerate too much sometimes and can learn to nip malarkey at the bud from Scorpios and Scorpios can learn to reign in their explosive tempers from Taurases.

Gemini and Sagittarius
Gemini and Sagittarius is a must have pair for any gathering. The party gets started when they walk in the room. They are both practical jokers, class clowns, and both have a running commentary of everyone’s hilarious traits. They can turn any tragedy into a lighter situation by making everybody laugh, and their minds work a mile a minute when it’s time to find creative solutions. They never meet a stranger, they are always ready to experience new, exciting things, and share these experiences with new people.
They can both come across the same way, but there is one major difference between their communication styles. Gemini's are known as the Twins and part of the reason for that is they can be very two faced. They are called to mediate disputes and solve problems, so sometimes they will say whatever it takes to get people to cooperate but really believe something else. Sagittarians are so brutally honest, people wish they would shut up sometimes. These two can teach each other to balance being brutally honest with being a little bit more tactful. Sometimes the truth isn't necessary, and sometimes telling a lie to keep the peace creates more problems in the long run. Read about Gemini here: Gemini Traits | Star Sign in The Spotlight
Cancer and Capricorn
Some people believe that Cancers and Capricorns could not be more different. Cancers are relationship oriented and the decisions they make are based on what works for the people who they love and the relationships they have with them. They will drop whatever they are doing and run to your side if they feel like you need them. If you think you don't need them, they will say they know better and nurture you to pieces. Capricorns are highly responsible individuals who are quite often in charge of a lot of things. Their responsibility. transcends their emotions and they try very hard to be rational, and make level-headed decisions based on what they feel is the most practical thing.
In reality, Cancers are just as reliable as Capricorns, and Capricorns are just as emotional as Cancers. Both Zodiac Signs react the same way when they are overwhelmed. They fall to pieces and they lean on someone who they trust most. With a Cancer, this is not surprising, but with Capricorns, it shocks people because most people never see that side of a Capricorn. These two signs do best of all when they come together as lean on one another to become one another's number one supporters. Both of them are highly responsible individuals who gather resources for the people who they love and take care of their families and friends who they adopt into their personal circle. They learn trust, reliability, and long-term love from one another. Read about Cancer here: The Dark Side of Cancers and How to Deal with It
Leo and Aquarius
Leos and Aquarians seem to hit it off immediately. They are both brilliant conversationists and they are immediate crowd pleasers who every stranger seems to fall in love with. Both of them seem to always be at the head of some crowd, leading the herd. They don't even fight for dominance over each other. When it's time to lead, they make a perfect team. They both have a lot of self respect and they both respect each other. They communicate openly, want to see the world become a better place, and love to laugh. This seems like a match made in heaven.
It can be, as long as they don't let their differences rip them apart. Leos need to bond very closely with the people who they love, and form deep committed relationships. Aquarians do that with very few people and would rather self-isolate than reveal their personal business to someone who they don't want to commit to. This is their number one contention point. Leos have been known to commit too quickly to people who don't deserve them and Aquarians have been known to fight commitment so hard they end up alone and regretting it. These two can teach one another to balance that and commit at the right time without fear. Read about Leo here: Leo Traits | Star Sign in The Spotlight
Virgo and Pisces
Pisces and Virgos are both Mutable Signs. This means they know how to adapt. They use their adaptability in two different ways. Pisces use their adaptability to help them communicate and harmonize with other people better. This helps them use their natural empathy to help other people, and make things better. This makes them natural teachers, counselors, and healers. Virgos, on the other hand, use their adaptability to help themselves personally to grow, learn, and succeed. Both of these signs are always finding new ways to function better in the world and live up to their greatest potential.
They differ in their attitude with other people. Virgos are highly critical and are constantly judging everything and everyone, including themselves. They are perfectionists, and seem like they're never satisfied with anything. They are extremely picky about who they allow near them in their personal lives. Pisces people seem to take more people in emotionally, but have to pull back when they are overwhelmed, which a Virgo will never allow to happen to themselves. Pisces can teach Virgos how to suspend judgment and accept other people, flaws and all. Virgos teach Pisces to guard their hearts, protect themselves better, set boundaries, and learn to say no.

Why Embrace Differences?
Some people believe it’s better to focus only on cultivating relationships with people who are like us and don't challenge us in any way. That is a mistake. The good thing about choosing our relationships is we get to choose who we spend time with. If you only choose to spend time with people who agree with you and do everything like you, you're going to miss out on the beautiful diversity of life. You're not going to learn things from other people, or see things from other people's perspective. No one will challenge you to go beyond your initial tendencies or try harder to do things that don't come naturally to you. No one will point out your bad habits and show you how to replace them with better ones. Your bad habits can be called vices, but you can beat them. Find out how here: Understanding Your Vices and Overcoming Them
Most of all, you will miss out on important relationships with people who you never thought that you could learn to love. When someone who compliments you comes along, don't just automatically push them away. Get to know them a little better and see what they offer. Are they trying to force you to change completely, or just encouraging you to push your boundaries in healthy ways? Do their differences fight against you, or do the differences help to balance you and areas where you are lacking? The people who compliment us bring new perspectives, new views, and access to parts of ourselves we never knew were there.
Opposing Zodiac signs are those that are opposite of us on the Zodiac wheel and share surprising similarities, but balance us because their differences help fill in the gaps in areas where we lack. Each Air Sign has a Fire Sign they complement, and each Water Sign has an Earth Sign that they complement. These complementary Zodiac Signs can give you some of the most fulfilling relationships that you ever have, if only you will open yourself to embracing the differences. And why not? Love awaits, even with someone who is very different from you!
