The most similar and dissimilar signs?

The most similar and dissimilar signs?
That you think have several of the same or similar characteristics? Not necessarily just because of shared element or mode. Give whatever reasons that you like based on your experience!
I´ll start by saying perhaps Taurus and Sagittarius..? As being quite similar

But then even having still considered that synthesis there are signs that just don´t "mesh" well together. So I suppose that´s mainly what my question is about

Is there any particular sign you were thinking of? Maybe we can dissect it down.

But then the shared element of water in particular I think that I can always sense. And also the other elements to an extent. Of course this is easier if people have one element that is pronounced more thab others within their elemental mix.
Also Scorpio I have felt is kind of similar to the fire signs obviously because of the rulership of mars

Hmm.. can´t say I agree with that. Taurus´ whole thing is security... Sag...not so much...more of a "take action now, ask questions later" type of energy.
They also have an inconjunct (150°) relationship. Signs with such a relationship are going to have no common ground. One of the reasons is that they do not share element, quadruplicity, or polarity. That´s why inconjuncts (quincunxes) are such notoriously difficult aspects in a natal chart. The planets involved just can´t relate to each other.
I´m going to say the signs that are most similar signs are those in opposition to each other: Aries/Libra, Taurus/Scorpio, etc.
The similarities are not obvious on the surface, but each sign contains the shadow of its polarity within itself. They are different expressions of the same axis, ie, they share a common thread.

Also "in theory" mutable and fixed signs should be opposed but I don´t know if that´s always the case

September 9, 2020 at 11:30

Oh how would you say that Taurus and Scorpio are quite similar? I think I can sort of see that.
Although I think that I have to really disagree with Libra and Aries despite sharing a mode. I mean for one Libra is usually so much more easy going and Aries doesn´t seem to want to talk things through.

I have least experience with Capricorns and Pisces so I can´t say anything about them

Maybe "similarity" is the wrong word...
Both signs depend on their polarity to define and balance themselves...as well as to probably reach their fullest potential...
Aries is thought of as the sign of "self"...but what does "self" mean when not in context with "other"? It becomes meaningless. No man is an island...
Libra is thought of as the sign of "the other" and partnerships...but just like Aries, the "other" is meaningless without the self... And partnership is impossible without the self as well...
So I´m not really talking about similarities in personality and expression, but rather a common theme...
I also think each sign can reaches its fullest potential by "reaching across the aisle" to its polarity and embracing and manifesting those qualities...
We´ve all heard that we are supposed to "transcend duality", yada yada... A sign embracing the qualities of its polarity seems to be a way of doing that...in principle, at least...

=====
My own observation of inconjuncts in charts doesn´t reflect two planets that have nothing in common. I see them as chaoticly connected.
My Mercury inconjunct Jupiter makes my Mercury VERY Jupiter-like in a haphazard way (inconjunct).
My Moon inconjunct Mars makes me quite aggressively indepnedent and somewhat grumpy (so unpolishedly mars, but still very mars)
Libra and Pisces I see as very similar as an example. Both are people focused (Pisces in a more hollistic way; Libra in a more social way). Both loving. Both artistic.
My Mercury square Mars impulse is to say most literature around sign relationships is really a bit dogshit. The signs are 12 parts of our psyche, if you will, and there´s nearly infinite parallels and connection you can make with one another.
But at the same time I trust there are good astrologers out there that observed some such connections as key or special.
-----------
To answer the topic directly, I think Libra and Gemini are very similar.
As for dissimilar...hmmm...i dunno......Taurus and Aqua?

September 10, 2020 at 06:20

I think that I would agree with Libra and Pisces being similar in temperament and outlook on life, both being idealistic, dreamy and sensitive of others, "usually" depending upon other aspects
That´s interesting that you say libra and gemini as I´ve felt that a bit before too, but what are the reasons that you particularly think this? Well obviously as they share the element of air, but then also so does Aquarius but you didn´t mention that sign as well. I would say that I think that gemini can be more difficult though (and at times insensitive)
As for the last one I´m not sure I entirely agree as both Taurus and Aquarius have a fixed energy and can often be self motivated and stubborn and sometimes selfish or detached. Which can work out for the best sometimes though when they channel all their energy into a pursuit without being deterred by outside opinions.

The exception is Cancer moon but that one is usually square my Sun (which is square my rising sign). Even when not it´s often a too strong. I don´t know why that is...
I don´t agree with the opposition, there is a strong attraction because there is a natural tendency to complement and there are complementary signs like Aries and Gemini or Aries and Aquarius to take my own experience. But the most like in my opinion are of course the same group, earth, fire, water, air. But that´s just my opinion!
That said there is certainly something to the opposite as you describe! Maybe in the long term that is not the best ´match´. Another example of my experience so take it with a grain of salt: One of my first friends was Libra sun, Scorpio moon. I could learn a lot from him but I think if someone like him would have been a partner we would be too opposite. You have to have something in common. Esp. with my brother I can sense we can complement each other with his moon in Scorpio but not for long. My daugthers have their moons in earth like me and when we are together they first need to adapt but then we are very similar in our behaviour, liking our ease and comfort. My first also has the same rising sign so we are both ´homies´. However, again, my experience is, same sign can also mean competition, ie. too similar so you both struggle or even fail with similar challenges whereas someone with slightly different traits, say another type of the same family of sign would perhaps do better. Example is Cancer rising and Pisces rising or Scorpio rising.

They share a connection to nature and what is natural. But of course the elements and connections are different - fire is more spiritual, flighty and can spread quickly. Earth, although still spiritual in it´s own way, is more grounded and practical, calculated.
