Understanding Your Feelings About Your Opposite Sign

Your feelings toward your opposite sign depend on how planetary aspects influence your compatibility and growth. Dislike may stem from differences in values or unresolved conflicts, but positive lessons often arise from these contrasts. Exploring these dynamics can help you understand your relationship with your opposite sign better.

Do you get along with them and like them as a person or romantically?

If not, are there other aspects formed by your other planets to them that could be the reason for you disliking your opposite?

Have they taught you any important life lessons by being your opposite sun sign?

My opposite sign is a Cancer and I guess the biggest thing I've learned from them is to be okay with expressing emotions, that it's not a weakness to express. But of course I still have trouble with it given my nature.

I haven't met any Cancer man that I've been involved with romantically but two of my good friends are Cancer's.

I love my opposite sign. Virgos provide the realism to my delusional butt. But I also have strong mercury/saturn aspects in my chart-- I think it helps with the daydreaming.

My opposite sign is Gemini. I like some of them but mostly I dont get along with them at all.

Seem too fake and weird and act like they are better cause they think they know everything haha. I have a Cap stellium and they are possibly a bit light for me.

I just don't mix with my opposite sign. After 35 years the only Virgo that I 'know' is my brother. None of my friends are Virgo, None of my past relationships have been with a Virgo.

It's not like it's a conscious effort or anything on my part. That's just goes to show how much of a contrast I apparently have with them. Even my brother and me... oil and water. I'm not going to say he'd be the first one I'd pick off in a Hunger Games scenario, but I'm not saying he wouldn't be either; rofl.

As for the aspect part of your question... since he's the only one I have to use as reference here is a chart overlay for us both. If you want to try and figure out why; be my guest.

I find it interesting how your sun's and moon's are both opposing each other. Were the two of you raised/treated very differently by your parents?

I'm not sure if using a sibling as a reference is the most accurate picture, just because sometimes the fact that they are our siblings creates a different kind of dynamic already that might get in the way of an optimal relationship, especially if the siblings aren't close in the first place.

I see his sun is in your 9th house, perhaps you can learn certain life lessons/philosophies from him? Is he older than you? He has an 8th house stellium so maybe he's too intense and secretive; could be the scorpio house traits that is affecting the way you perceive him too

My opposite is Scorpio. We have a nice closeness. It's almost like he holds up a mirror and exposes my flaws without even trying to, just in how we interact. In that way, he is beneficial. But I doubt I could ever date a Scorpio. Our connection is actually just way too raw. It's impractical.

It can get messy w/ Pisces

I attract them like mad, feels very magnetic and intense but fizzles out usually bc the Pisces swims away and I’m not chasing them LMFAOO . Then they swim back and I’m not there oops

Interesting, so you don't like that realness feeling in romantic relationships? Is it because it's too predictable for you and you like something where someone is more different from you?

It's probably harder for you to completely relate to them because your moon squares them

I feel the least compatible with Virgos out of all of the earth signs, despite my Virgo moon. I still get along with them ok for the most part because I love earth signs in general, but they're a little too finicky for my tastes. With other earth signs there's a sense of calm and peacefulness in their energy/aura. That's still there to some degree with Virgo but there's also a nervous analytical energy radiating off of them that can feel a little stressful. Just chill Virgo, it's not that big of a deal lol. I also find Virgo women very pretty and feel attracted to them, but a little less than Taurus and Capricorn

Lolol, I can see how it would be hard for you to deal with them because it's like seeing a projected version of yourself out in the open. Some people like that but it's harder for others to enjoy that. They are very nervous people even if it doesn't show on the outside.

It's really hard to explain. I mean my one Scorpio friend is also really manipulative and plays games constantly with me. We were attracted to each other but his constant mind games really hurt me. I never felt like I got to see who he really was. To this day I don't even know what happened between us that caused us to stop talking. I think our communication was just awful and one-sided. My experience with him has really scared me away from Scorpios.

You're better off without a Scorpio that's on that end of the spectrum, but not all are like that, really depends on their level of maturity and how they've dealt with their past baggage

True. It’s very hard to relate to them, but my sag moon doesn’t discriminate and I allow them to be their wild selves with open arms even if I don’t understand them half of the time

One of my most important relationships was with an Aquarius sun. Our flaws mirrored each other for good and bad. In general, Aquarius is okay, I have clashed with a lot of Aquarius women and the men are too standoffish. Supposedly because I have a lot of Leo I should be attracted but in most cases I'm not. I only have one Air Planet which is Saturn in Aquarius.

I could see them trying to manipulate if they want to control something

so true, my first capricorn played the manipulation tactics too...he told my bestfriend something out of concern for me, which was actually a cover for my friend to get mad at me and lead me running to my cappy man...i will say he executed it perfectly but it was game on after that...he made me the best law enforcement officer

I would kill every single one of them if I could. I hate Taurus they're backstabbers, fake and they don't even deserve to be our "opposite sign".

Afaik this opposite sign thing is....you're supposed to help him evolve, so that he can stab you from the front. 😄

I've had sooooo many Cancer friends over the years not to mention that my mother was a Cancer but had Virgo Moon and Rising. Very polite, very reserved, very patriarchal. If she wasn't throwing shade at you, she wasn't loving you. All that Virgo nagging and bitching was all out of love, but she had that passive aggressive vindictiveness and selfishness that was off-putting. With that said, the same feelings that @sunsetvirgo has for us HEADASS Caps is exactly how I feel about Cancers. I've said it elsewhere in another thread: I'd rather have Cancer that deal with another one.

Seriously, I never though there would come a day where Cancers would replace Aries as my most hated sign (not all of 'em, don't get nervous; @smidge is adorable as hell, but the rest are too goddamned fireball crazy for me), but they're surely did it. I think it's also because my daughter's mother was also a Cancer. I keep reading over and over about how Caps and Scorps will either be passionate lovers or passionate enemies, and I really don't see it as a truth. Granted, I've always felt hypersensitive around them and vice versa, but that whole passionate love/hate dynamic belongs solely to Cancers ...

Could it be also because your libra moon is squared their sun that you have that love-hate with them?
