Besides sharing the same quadruplicity, signs that are directly opposite each other also represent a polarity. Intimately understanding the polarities within the zodiac is the key to understanding the significance of each Full Moon, since Full Moons occur when the Moon sits directly opposite the Sun, in the opposing sign. For example, the Libra Full Moon occurs when the Moon sits in Libra, directly opposite the Sun in Aries.
Signs in polarity can be thought of as representing opposite sides of the same coin. Often, the strength of the opposite sign represents the greatest challenge to the other. Spend a little time meditating on each polarity, and you’ll begin to understand why each sign has an invaluable lesson to teach the other.
The polarities of the zodiac are:
Aries – Libra
Taurus – Scorpio
Gemini – Sagittarius
Cancer – Capricorn
Leo – Aquarius
Virgo – Pisces
