Know the dark side of each sign |

The dark side of each sign can exist, yes. It’s just that every sign has its immersion and its hidden complementary vibration. These oppositions are like polar regions of being, which have the sun on one side and our other pole, our darkest part, on the other side, the point on the axis of opposition of the natal solar sign.

The sun sign is the one that everyone knows, that it is enough to know the day you were born to know it.

But the sun sign is not enough. First, because when you were born, your Sun illuminated an astrological house, which represents an area of ​​your life. Second, because the placement of each planet when you came into the world represents a psychological function of your personality. And for you to understand all this, you need know your birth chart (look here).

How to understand the dark side of each sign

The 12 signs have their complementary opposites. And it is there, in this blind spot, which is located at an angle of 180˚ in relation to our natal sun, that we find, ambiguously, what complements us and what challenges us, the key to the secret of our balance and also our shadows.

This happens because the opposite side of an axis, that is, the sign of opposition, shows itself in an excessive way, as a result of a shadow effect of natal sunlight, when critical events or uncomfortable circumstances occur for each of us.

In this dynamic, some events can reveal our shadow side: the sign that is in complementary opposition to your sun sign.

Understand the dark side of each sign

The Dark Side of Aries and Libra

Aries people can be impulsively decisive, but very indecisive when they need to stop and ponder. They can find in their shadow a rational side not typical of their spontaneous fiery essence. And they infantilize themselves in two-way relationships when they need to be less individualistic.

Libras, on the other hand, can lose their courtesy and be very frontal when under pressure. Also, he is often too impulsive when falling in love. Vanity flourishes in the imbalance towards the shadow as a need for personal affirmation, seeing one’s own image, the self, too much.

How Taurus and Scorpio Express Their Shadows

The Taurus and Scorpio axis lives on the seesaw of desire and need. Taurus – robust, firm and earthy sign – can be somewhat possessive and passionate when he wants something or someone. Scorpio, on the other hand, can acquire strategic thinking, apparently calm and slow for those who observe it from the outside.

The two signs enter the vibration of their shadows for the same reason: insecurity. The instabilities and uncertainties reveal the great need of these fixed signs to achieve an unattainable stability.

Scorpio people are absent from their sunlight when they forget their transmutation potential in the face of loss and become very attached. And Taurus people can become retentive, obsessive and somewhat self-destructive when they forget their potential for resilience and strength to keep building.

The Sinister Part of Gemini and Sagittarius

Gemini and Sagittarius can easily lose focus and fall into gratuitous fun, superficiality and excesses. This is because the air sign’s need to communicate and exchange is confused by a great dispersion and lack of focus when Sagittarius loses its purpose and philosophy of life.

A Sagittarius person without inspiration, without aspiration and without a philosophy that enhances him spiritually gets lost in frivolities and ends up losing himself.

Gemini can vibrate as the loudmouth who learns everything a little bit in a shallow way, socially mistakenly performing as a master on the subject. It is the moment when Gemini people lose humility and their place of constant learning, they fall into excessive verbiage and absolute truths.

As they are mutable signs, the shadow makes them fluctuate a lot in terms of mood, will and also spirit, which come in waves of ups and downs.

The Dark Side of Cancer and Capricorn

Cancer can lose its sweetness and become drier, closed and reserved acting in the shadow of Capricorn, when they feel helpless and unprotected.

Not welcoming a Cancer person is asking them to distance themselves emotionally from you. And he won’t do it out of coldness, but out of resentment and an instinct for self-protection. In the shadow, Cancer becomes distant and hardened.

Capricorn, on the other hand, loses the wise impersonality and introjects to the personal side, getting hurt easily. Behind the resistant and often rigid and pragmatic figure, there is a side that wants to surrender and soften, but resists for fear of getting hurt. In the shadow, Capricorn becomes grouchy and resentful.

The darkest part of Aquarius and Leo

Who has never witnessed a radical Aquarius person in their ideals and somewhat authoritarian? When Aquarius is unbalanced, he can act in the shadow of Leo, raising flags, polarizing and forgetting that the exercise of freedom and democracy are practiced from the inclusion and diversity of thoughts.

But when a Leo person is in the shadows, he can become an anarchist, who does not accept any kind of order. He confuses systematic organization for things to work and rants the famous “nobody commands me”.

In this dark vibration he cannot cooperate, he becomes a rebel without a cause, turning all his creative energy towards a revolt without reason, losing his tone for creative and generous resolutions.

Virgo and Pisces can also be gloomy

Finally, the last and sixth axis shifts light and shadow between Virgo and Pisces. Virgo gets lost in the large proportions of Pisces and turns small things into a storm in a glass of water.

They victimize themselves with numerous self-criticisms and demands, lose focus, become disorganized, disperse, miss deadlines, postpone and become apathetic and lethargic in their darker side.

Those who are Pisces can become obsessive about details, losing faith and sensitivity, starting to criticize and judge minimal things. He creates cleaning manias and unreasonable organization manias in search of appeasement for his internal nuisances. He can weaken too much by embarking on baseless sacrifices, losing strength and power to act.
