Understanding Your Sibling

Understanding the element that rules your sibling can help you strengthen your common bond. After all, wouldn't you rather enjoy each other's company than fall into the trap of having the same old, triggered arguments? No one has a shared history quite like you and your sibling!

Fire sibling: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Fire siblings are active, feisty and able to deal well with tension. They have a competitive side and can become bored easily, so sports or other physical activities are ideal ways to connect. You'll find it easiest to get along with a Fire sibling if you're an Air sign.

Earth sibling: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Earth siblings are practical, conservative, reliable and very aware of timeliness. They're also dependable and have a deep liking for the physical world, so spending time outdoors, at a spa, cooking or gardening together is a terrific way for the two of you to bond. They crave stability to feel safe. Earth siblings are easiest to relate to if you're a Water sign.

Air sibling: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
The most important thing your Air sibling needs is time to talk -- communication is nearly as crucial to them as breathing! Maintaining a regular level of contact keeps them in a good mood, since they greatly enjoy socializing and discussing ideas. If they feel as if they're being listened to, they'll feel more secure. You'll find it easiest to get along with an Air sibling if you're a Fire sign.

Water sibling: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Water siblings crave comfort, emotional connections and quality time together. They're sensitive folks and want to know that you need them in some way; just the same, since they're caring and nurturing Water babies, they're naturally protective. Water siblings are easiest to relate to if you're an Earth sign.
