The Kind Of Sister You Are, According To Astrology
Are you a bossy sister or a cool sister?
Unsplash There are many types of sisters in the world. The bond that siblings share can be both positive and negative, but even rivalry with a sister can pull two people in closer.
If you ask me, I think that every zodiac sign could use a sister in their life – or at least a sister-like figure. Whether it's your older sister or your younger sister, there are so many things you can learn from this person that you can't learn from just anyone.

I like to think that sisters, and siblings in general, are a different breed of role models and mentors. People can get so caught up in the negative parts that come with having a sibling – like having someone whose entire M.O. is to steal your clothes and ruin your belongings or tattletale on you when you're both adults – but having a sister is so much more than a few missing pieces of jewelry or clothing.
I know, I know. I must be crazy (or an only child) to think that a brand new shirt going missing isn't the end of the world. But it's so important to me to have a strong, loving relationship with my sister that I really don't care that much about something like that.
I would much rather know that she's going to be there for me when I need to vent or when I need a shoulder to cry on than to get hung up because she borrowed something from me and never gave it back.

Whether you're actually a sister (or sister-like figure) to someone or not, each zodiac sign has personality traits that describe the kind of sister they are. If you're known for being a horoscope sign that is always, always in charge of things (and your friends), you might be the bossy sister that is always telling your siblings what to do.
Or, you might be the zodiac sign that is always up for a new adventure, which might make you the cooler older sister who all of your sibling's friends love. Just like there are so many different kinds of friends out there, there are so many different kinds of sisters.
They might not always be kind or nice to you, but siblings play a significant role in our lives anyway. Here is the kind of sister you are, according to astrology.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
You're the boss, Aries. If there's one thing everyone knows about you, that's it. As a sister, you can be pretty bossy, too. Whether you're the big sister or the little sister, you're the one in charge – and you're the one who always has to be first for everything.
But besides being bossy, you're also incredibly selfless. You care deeply about your siblings, and family is everything to you. When you're with your siblings, you're always looking out for them, and when you're away, you're always thinking about them and hoping they're doing okay.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
You're a very practical sister, Taurus. Whenever your siblings are thinking about doing something crazy, you're the one to remind them to be smart and safe. You're also the one your siblings go to for advice or help because they know you always have something useful to say.
You're also a very loving sister. You have so much love in your heart to give, and you love being the sister who's unafraid to dish out hugs, tickle fights, and teasing. You care about your siblings a lot, and even when you don't say it or show it, they know.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Everyone knows you as the fun sister, Gemini. You don't like to brag, but you're the kind of sister that will take your siblings and all their friends out when they ask and sometimes even buy them beer if they ask nicely. You're definitely the cool sister of the bunch.
That said, you can also be very nosey. You always want to know what's going on in your siblings' lives, and your reasoning is that you deserve to know everything that's going on. Plus, when you spend time away from them, you want to make sure they're okay, so you ask a lot of questions.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancer, you're the mama bear sister of the zodiac. You are fiercely protective of your clan, and you would do anything for your siblings. You can be a little overbearing at times, but your siblings know it's just because you care about them.
You are deeply connected to your siblings, as well. You need regularly scheduled quality time with them, otherwise you start to feel lonely and left out. Family is very important to you, and you want your family to know that you're always there for them.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leo, you are a fiercely loyal sister. You're the kind of sister who will stand up for your siblings no matter what. Bullies have no chance of winning a fight with you, and whenever your siblings ask you to be there for them, you have their back.
In addition to being the loyal sister, you're also very trendy and cool. Your siblings are always asking to borrow your clothes because you have such great style, and they always look up to you for advice because you always seem to have a good read on people and trends.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
You're a very kind-hearted sister, Virgo. Whenever your siblings need help, you're there to lend a hand with homework, relationships, and everything in between. You give great advice, and your siblings know that you can always help them through a sticky situation.
That said, you're also a very independent sister. You like your space, and when you're not helping your siblings out, you like retreating into your own little world. You like being helpful, but you'll also tell your siblings to leave you alone if you're feeling suffocated by them.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
You love to share, Libra, and you're the kind of sister who will share everything with your siblings. Clothes, secrets, advice about guys – you'll share it all because that's the kind of person you are. To you, sharing is a way to connect with people you care about.
Speaking of connecting with people you care about, you're als a very attached sister. You need to spend time with your siblings at least once a week because you want them to know that you love them and want to be around for them. Love is very important to you, and you'll show it anyway you can.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
You're a fiercely protective sister, Scorpio. You may not always see eye to eye with your siblings, but you will fight tooth and nail for them either way. Your tribe (or your family) means the world to you, so you always try to protect them.
Let's not forget the part about not always seeing eye to eye, though. You're the kind of sister who is constantly arguing with your siblings, even if you're not actually mad. Sometimes, you adore your siblings, and other times, you can't stand them. But hey, that's just life!
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
You are the wise sister of the zodiac, Sagittarius. You give amazing advice to your siblings because you've already been through whatever they're asking about. They know that they can come to you when they need some words of wisdom, and you'll help them out.
You're also the embarrassing sister. You have no shame yourself, but that doesn't stop you from trying to embarrass your siblings every chance you get. You just do it for fun, but your siblings always wonder if you're going to mortify them the next time you're out in public.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
You're the sister that your siblings always look up to, Capricorn. You're an ambitious, driven person by nature, and they see you as someone admirable. You can't help but like all of the looking up to, either.
In addition to being admirable, you're incredibly loyal to your siblings. Family is very important to you, and you would do pretty much anything for them. Even if you're away from home, you always keep in touch so that they know you're thinking about them.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Your siblings can count on you to be the honest sister, Aquarius. You don't like pulling any punches, especially when it comes to the people you love. You might be brutally honest at times, but your siblings know that you'd rather tell them the truth than lie for no reason.
You're also the friendly sister. You often see your siblings as friends instead of just family, and for that reason, your relationship with your siblings is usually very strong. You want them to see you as someone they can count on, and not just because you're blood.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces, you are one of the most compassionate sisters of the zodiac. You can relate to what your siblings are going through, and you always lend an ear when they need to vent. You know what it can be like to feel alone or lost, and you want them to know that you're always there if they need you.
You also like being your siblings' best friend. You want to share secrets, dreams, and goals with them because you know that they – more than anyone else – will be on your side and root for you to succeed in life. You also want to be that person for them, so you work hard to have a strong relationship with them.
