What Exactly Is Zodiac Sign Polarity In Astrology?

So what does polarity mean in astrology? Put, “polarity” means “opposite signs.” Have you ever been attracted to a zodiac sign you would never have thought you would be attracted to? It could be because polarity is in play (opposites attract).

Additionally, suppose you have ever been at war with yourself and felt like you’re being pushed or pulled in a different direction out of your comfort zone. In that case, it could be your positive polarity trying to take center stage.

Let’s unbox polarity further to better understand this astrological concept on your birth chart. Firstly, each zodiac sign has an astrological mirror (polarity), and this mirror or polarity describes the polar opposite relationship that exists between two zodiac signs.

When two signs are in opposition, they can be considered direct across from one another. This phenomenon creates the “push-pull effect” you feel within yourself. Although this effect can feel tiring and apprehension-inducing, your polarity brings your personality balance (yin yang).

Since there are twelve signs (sun signs) in astrology: Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Aries, Pisces, and Capricorn, there are six polarities (opposite signs) on the zodiac wheel.

In our next section, we will discuss these six opposite signs (cardinal signs, fixed signs, and mutable signs) so that you can better understand how polarity works within one’s self.

The Elements

You need to remember that polarities are always grouped in astrological elements that are complementary to one another. The element groupings are fire and air signs or earth and water signs.

The fire and air signs are feminine, while the earth and water signs are masculine. Feminine and masculine denote the yin and yang of the zodiac.

What Is Positive Polarity?

Positive polarity deals with the positive signs. Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius are positive signs.

In Chinese astrology, the positive signs are extroverted and outward-looking. This means they are energetic, spontaneous, and possess demanding and forceful personalities.

According to your birth date, if you have six or more planets that are placed in positive signs on your birth chart, you are someone who has positive polarity ruling your life.

The Yin: Water and Earth Signs

• Capricorn
• Taurus
• Virgo
• Cancer
• Scorpio
• Pisces

What Is Negative Polarity?

Unlike positive polarity, negative polarity deals with negative signs. The negative signs are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, and Capricorn.

In Chinese astrology, the negative zodiac signs are inward-looking and introverted. This means they are compliant, reserved, and more likely to be communicative.

Regardless of your sun sign, if you have six or more planets placed in negative signs according to your birth date, you have negative polarity ruling your life.

The Yang: Fire and Air Signs

• Libra
• Aries
• Sagittarius
• Gemini
• Aquarius
• Leo

The Opposite Six Signs

If you’re wondering how an opposite sign can affect the fire, water, earth, and air signs, you might find what we speak about below insightful.

We have spent hours examining birth charts (consider looking at our natal chart to learn your polarity) to share how two signs (opposites) can influence who you are.

Aries-Libra

The opposite sign to Aries is Libra. Planet mars rule Aries, while planet Venus rules Libra, so these zodiac signs are wholly different.

Yet, Aries and Libra are cardinal signs, allowing them many similarities despite their differences.

For example, Aries and Libra are leaders, but where Aries takes the lead in a fiery physical manner, Libra prefers to lead with a gentler but sterner approach. Additionally, as one of the air signs, Libra likes to keep the peace, while as one of the fire signs, Aries prefers confrontation.

Ultimately, Libra benefits from Aries’ passion, and Aries benefits from Libra’s tact.

Taurus-Scorpio

One of the best examples of “opposites attract” in the zodiac is the Scorpio Taurus polarity. Both zodiac signs are sensual and possessive, but Scorpio’s sensuality is focused on the spiritual, while Taurus is focused on embracing the five physical senses.

Scorpios are also more prone to hiding their true feelings with confusing words, while Taurus tells it exactly how it is because they aren’t afraid to be self-expressive.

Yet, when Scorpio feels threatened, they will sting and hurt while the masculine energy of Taurus will communicate to resolve a tense situation. Scorpio is a water sign that can benefit from Taurus’ grounded and serene nature. Taurus is one of the earth signs that can learn how to adapt through a Scorpio’s developmental personality.

Gemini-Sagittarius

Gemini is an air sign, while Sagittarius belongs to the fire signs. Gemini and Sagittarius have an iconic yin-yang vibe because they have the same polarity. These zodiac signs both want the same thing: to know the truth. Yet the way they go about seeking the truth is wholly different.

Gemini goes after the truth by communicating and logically gathering information. In contrast, Sagittarius seeks out the truth physically, which can get these people into trouble.

Despite their different approaches to truth-seeking, Gemini and Sagittarius can learn from one another’s perspectives and philosophies. Sagittarius will remind Gemini to see the bigger picture without getting lost in the details as a fire sign. As an air sign, Gemini will teach Sagittarius how to communicate.

Cancer-Capricorn

Cancer is recognized as the zodiac’s mother in the zodiac, while Capricorn is known as the father. Although both signs are nurturing, they do so wholly differently because Cancer feels while Capricorn logics.

Capricorn will nurture in a very realistic, earthy manner, while Cancer will nurture emotionally. Capricorn is far more focused on success, reaching goals, and earning a living, while Cancer wants to dedicate time to their home and family.

Yet, despite this polarity, both of these signs feed off one another and learn from each other. A Capricorn grounds Cancer when their emotions take over, and Cancer teaches Capricorn about the true beauty home and comfort can provide.

Leo-Aquarius

Leo and Aquarius have the same polarity: they want to make a difference in the world and leave their mark. These signs are independent fixed signs, which make them natural-born leaders.

Yet, despite these similarities, they are polar opposite signs because Leo is more focused on performing center stage for all to see. At the same time, Aquarius likes to run things from behind the curtain. Leo also tends to be a one-man show who does not like working in a team, while Aquarius has no issues working within a team and standing beside others to achieve greatness.

Additionally, Leo likes to express individuality in a fiery physical manner, while Aquarius shows off socially. As polar opposite signs, Leo and Aquarius can learn from each other’s passions. Aquarius can show Leo the inherent beauty in intellectual stimulation, while Leo can teach Aquarius how to love and be affectionate.

Virgo-Pisces

Pisces and Virgo are mutable signs that are fascinated by each other. They have the same polarity in that they both possess complex personalities and are selfless and compassionate.

However, they are opposites because Virgo always aspires to serve and heal the world and others, while Pisces prefers to daydream and spiritually connect with the world.

Virgo can teach Pisces to serve better, while Pisces can teach Virgo to connect with their spirituality.
