The festival of Raksha Bandhan signifies the brother-sister relationship in Hindu culture. It is observed on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravana, which falls on August 19 in 2024. On this day, sisters put a sacred thread called ‘Rakhi’ around the wrist of their brothers and seek their prosperity. In return, brothers are expected to protect their sisters. In astrology, every zodiac sign has its approach to manifesting this sibling bond. Let us explore how each zodiac sign interacts with its siblings.
Aries: Your inherent courage and enthusiasm make you a sibling who is always willing to stand up and fight for your brothers and sisters. You are a natural leader, and your siblings may look up to you to protect them. However, you are quick-tempered, and this can result in disagreements. You should learn to be patient and also respect your siblings’ opinions. On Raksha Bandhan, it is a great chance to prove your love and appreciation to your siblings. Embrace this day to reconcile any differences and strengthen your ties.
Taurus: You are the pillar of your family and the one who provides warmth to your family members. Your attitude towards siblings is practical and pragmatic. You are conventional, and more often than not, you are the one who makes preparations for family occasions like Raksha Bandhan to check that everything is for the event. Nevertheless, you have specific standards and are particular about them, which may lead to conflict with your siblings, who may want to be more relaxed. On this day, be more adaptable in your relationships.
Gemini: You are outgoing, communicative, and seen as the link between your family members, passing information around. Your fluency in speaking and ability to speak on different topics make you a pleasant and entertaining sibling who is always full of new ideas. Your relationships with your siblings are playful-intellectual. You get pleasure from imparting and receiving information; thus, discussions can be rather animated. However, your inconsistency may sometimes be a source of conflict with your siblings because you may abandon one interest for another in a short time.
Cancer: You are incredibly kind and sympathetic when it comes to siblings. You are the one who looks after the needs of your siblings. Family traditions very much bind you, so Raksha Bandhan is a special day for you. However, sensitivity can become a weakness from the emotional side if there are misunderstandings. You are sensitive, making you pull out when you should be fighting for yourself. This festival sends the message that you are ready and willing to stand by each other and make the existing relationships even better.
Leo: Being a Leo, you assume the role of the leader among your siblings, and you always motivate them with your charming and self-assured character. You are proud of your family, protective of your siblings, and loyal to them. Your nature makes you very kind to your siblings, and you do not hesitate to do anything to make them happy. However, your need for appreciation and attention may cause rivalry if you feel your siblings are getting more attention than you do. Raksha Bandhan is a good chance to show that you are a caring sibling.
Virgo: Being a Virgo, you are the first to come up with solutions in the family and the one who gives your siblings counsel. This makes you always plan on how to do better in everything and ensure that your family is well catered for. The same is true about your approach to Raksha Bandhan. You like to organise the day carefully to ensure every part of the celebration is well arranged. But the fact that you constantly judge others strains your relationship with your siblings most of the time.
Libra: You are always ready to be the peacemaker between your siblings. Your ability to be fair and just when dealing with everyone guarantees that everyone is given a voice, making our family loving and united. Your friendly personality and wit place you at the heart of any family gathering. You appreciate the appearance of the celebration and are sometimes involved in preparing the setting and appearance. However, you may be overly concerned with the needs of others, and this may show in the form of being overly indecisive or being a people-pleaser.
Scorpio: You are loyal and trust each other to the extent that you are almost inseparable from your siblings. You will likely take your relationships to another level of emotional intimacy and comprehension. Your empathic ability lets you guess what your siblings may require regarding emotional support, even before they demand it. This makes you to be a protective and influential figure in their lives. However, your passion can sometimes turn to possessiveness or jealousy if you feel your close relationship is being interfered with.
Sagittarius: You are the ones who bring excitement and adventure into the relationship. Your natural curiosity and desire to explore the world make you the perfect companions for thrilling escapades and spontaneous trips. You inspire your siblings to step out of their comfort zones, encouraging them to embrace new experiences with an open heart. This shared sense of adventure strengthens their bond, creating memories that last a lifetime. However, you are known to speak your mind without sugarcoating, which can occasionally lead to conflicts.
Capricorn: You tend to take the guardian or mentor position, using your diligence as a guide. Your siblings may consider you as their source of advice and consultation on various issues that affect their lives. Your attitude towards the brother-sister relationship is quite conventional, and you are bound by your responsibilities towards your family. You are always ready to take on your responsibilities, whether to help your siblings with money or to console them when they are down. Nevertheless, your pragmatic attitude can create an impression of coldness in your character.
Aquarius: You are known for your intelligence and creativity, and often, you are the one who initiates your siblings to new ideas and ways of thinking. Your style is not very warm but professional and based on mutual understanding and communication. You fight for your freedom and independence and also for your siblings. This can make you a supportive player in their endeavours, particularly those who are rebellious against conventional norms or parental authority. But sometimes, your somewhat cold attitude and concern with large-scale social processes may be viewed by others as coldness or lack of interest.
Pisces: You are the feeling member of the family; you are the one who can feel your siblings and comfort them with your tender heart. Your ability to give love and support without expecting anything in return makes you a great sibling and a friend who is always there for you. Your attitude to relationships is defined by the need for intimacy and the search for close people. On the other hand, you may be prone to emotional exhaustion, especially if there are tensions or if you feel that your efforts are not appreciated.
