Neighboring Zodiac Signs

Below are misunderstandings I’ve observed about neighboring signs over the years. I’ve also written about traits these signs can share or may seem to share.  

I’ve found many seem to easily confuse Aries’s assertiveness and ambition with Taurus’s stubbornness or determination. These two signs have very different energy. Aries is fast-moving, decisive, impulsive, action-taking, adaptable, heated, and competitive or confrontational. Taurus is slow-moving, takes their time making a decision or can be indecisive, is about attraction and/or planning rather than jumping right into things, stubborn and possibly fears change, they avoid pressure and conflict. 

I don’t think many confuse traits of Taurus and Gemini, but I could see the logic of air and earth making them sometimes seem similar. They could possibly seem similar due to Gemini’s positivity and Taurus’s peaceful nature too. I think some could sense this similarity in a person when first getting to know them vs. confusing traits of the two signs outright. 

Gemini and Cancer both get labeled as “changeable” and maybe even “fickle”. Gemini’s changeability comes from the flexibility of being a mutable sign, their need for mental stimulation, and need for variety. Cancer’s changeability comes in phases and moods, much like the Moon. Gemini’s changing side may be rooted in curiosity and high-energy, in places of “the mind” whereas Cancer comes from their current mood, the realm of “emotions”. 

Cancer and Leo can share many traits such as being romantic, loyal, affectionate, and creative. Leo is a fixed fire sign - they can be stubborn, prideful, brave. Cancer is a cardinal water sign - they have more adaptability and is known for being cautious, private, protective. Both signs can be incredibly sensitive and even bright, cheerful Leo can have moments of moodiness. 

Leo and Virgo can have high standards for themselves and others. Leo can be motivating, ambitious, and generous while Virgo can be caring, helpful, a hard worker, and be in a position of knowledge or authority. There can very easily be a status that these two signs share in their community. Leo aims for grandness and Virgo perfection. 

Virgo and Libra value security, logic, and intelligence. It may be in each other’s easygoing nature that they could seem similar. Virgo is flexible, caring, supportive, and thoughtful. Libra is cooperative, adaptable, level-headed, charming, and known for either being very polite, nice, and some genuinely kind. Both of these signs also tend to run away, ignore, or hate on their flaws. Virgo may be more focused on self-improvement or could be incredibly harsh towards themselves and is out for perfection. Libra may be more about hiding or ignoring flaws, they are out to make things beautiful, balanced, or peaceful. 

It may be in Libra and Scorpio’s differences that they somehow get mistaken for each other. Scorpio is most known for intensity and depth - Libra shallowness, detachment, running away from conflict, pressure, intensity, and flaws. However both can be romantic and artistic. Libra is known to sometimes become out of balance and to over correct. Air in general is known to explore and process emotions through art, the occult, or psychology. It is through these moments of dipping into the extreme that Libra may somewhat resemble Scorpio’s intensity. Scorpio can be known as a reserved, private, and cautious sign. A common metaphor is the deep, still cold pool of water - calmness on the surface and plenty of action and secrets underneath. Because of this I would believe plenty of Scorpios give off a chiller first impression or exterior. 

Scorpio and Sagittarius are both “hot” signs, or at least seem that way. Scorpio as a water sign can be freezing, icy, they are not fire BUT Scorpio is easily mistaken as a fire sign due to their “Mars-like” traits and associations. Sagittarius being a fire sign is truly  🥵 🌶️ 🔥 Both are associated with deeper, abstract concepts: Scorpio with the metaphysical, occult, transformations, facing taboos and/or inner demons, and psychology. Sagittarius with religion, philosophy, spirituality, ethics, wisdom, foreign affairs, worldly subjects, big picture thoughts, and higher education. 

Sagittarius and Capricorn have a lot of differences, some may even seem total opposite such as Sagittarius’s loose connection to good luck and Capricorn bad luck. Sagittarius is hot, impulsive, risky, maybe careless, youthful, maybe foolish. Capricorn is cold, calculated, cautious, associated with maturity, seriousness, and responsibility. I’ve used the story of the grasshopper and the ant to describe their differences in the past. However, both can be self-reliant and confident. Both have connections to wisdom. Sagittarius with the polarity between the fool and wise man/woman. Capricorn with wisdom gained through time and growth. Sagittarius can hunger for experiences, expansion, and learning while Capricorn is out for success, survival, and leveling up. Sagittarius see’s the big picture and exists in the realm of philosophy, religion, theories, the abstract. Capricorn can have a focus on society, rules, laws and exists very much in the material realm. 

Capricorn and Aquarius share the planet Saturn. Both can be logical, practical, and have a coldness about them. Both prefer or even seek out predictability and stability. I would assume many people probably pick up on both of these sign’s coolness and this may be the main point others could confuse them by. In modern astrology Aquarius is also ruled by Uranus and has connections to themes very different than Capricorn such as chaos, rebellion, liberation, etc. Both Capricorn and Aquarius have strong ties to the collective and society. Stereotypically Capricorn is the rule maker, follower, and enforcer while Aquarius is the rule breaker. A Capricorn can still be the one to see the need to leave or stand up to a group and Aquarius can easily fall into peer pressure, trends, or strictly following a society’s standards even with their common stereotypes. 

Aquarius and Pisces are two signs I see get confused with each other the most. People easily confuse Aquarius for a water sign due to its name and symbol. Even with a good understanding of the elements it doesn’t help that Aquarius and Pisces do share some overarching themes. Both signs are tolerant and accepting. Aquarius’s humanitarian traits may be confused with Pisces’s compassion. Aquarius is observant, social, open to and even fascinated with learning about humanity while Pisces is empathetic, receptive, understanding, and perceptive. These two can be labeled as the “peace, love” ☮️ signs of the zodiac. When you look at their polarities and elements - fixed vs. mutable and air vs. water there are plenty of differences, making Aquarius and Pisces very much their own archetypes/signs. 

Aries and Pisces are likely not easily confused with each other however fire and water both tend to be more emotional or volatile in their expression. With Aries impulsiveness and Pisces easygoing trait both can be seen as highly spontaneous. Both can be amazing salespeople and I mean this more in personality than the actual job. Aries is enthusiastic, confident, maybe outgoing, action taking, and good at making others excited or engaged. Pisces can read others like a book, can be a chameleon, persuasive or manipulative, and easy to trust. Aries may listen and take action based off their gut and while Pisces could be slower to act, they are intuitive and being mutable can be an agent of change. Aries can be brutally honest and Pisces expressive with their feelings. Aries is brave and Pisces self-sacrificing. Both can be incredibly generous, affectionate, and passionate.
