The Sister Sign Connection
In astrology, "sister signs" or "opposite signs" are polarities across the zodiac wheel, six signs apart. They share the same modality (Fixed, in this case) but differ in element (Earth vs. Water).
Taurus and Scorpio are both Fixed signs, meaning they are determined, persistent, and resistant to change. This creates a powerful, albeit challenging, understanding between them.
