Fire signs - Bold, brash, and charismatic, the fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) are the stars of the zodiac. They are fiery, passionate, and often temperamental.

Aries (March 21–April 19) -

The first sign of the Zodiac, people born in Aries make great leaders and love to stand out as individuals. They always need a certain level of independence, too.

Aries (March 21–April 19) -

With a tendency to feel like the black sheep of the family, however, extra effort is needed to make Aries feel welcome. Get that covered, and your Aries sibling is your bestie.

Leo (July 23–August 22) -

Leo is arguably the most passionate sign of the zodiac, with a unique ability to inspire all those around them. They tend to love games and usually make great party hosts.

Leo (July 23–August 22) -

They do have a tendency to be overdramatic, though, so don't be surprised if you have to talk down your Leo brother or sister from time to time.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) -

Smart and funny, Sagittarius is the visionary of the zodiac. People born under Sagittarius tend to love adventure, and they make great learners and teachers.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) -

A great way to bond with your Sag sibling is to do something cultural together. Go to a museum or an art gallery and immerse yourselves together.

Air signs - Highly sociable and endlessly curious, the air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Sagittarius) can be fickle. They bring great fun to everything they do, but they tend to bore easily.

Gemini (May 21–June 21) -

Probably the most flighty of the star signs, Gemini can be a little unreliable. Don't be offended if your Gemini sibling cancels on you at the last minute.

Gemini (May 21–June 21) -

That said, Gemini babies do appreciate words of affirmation more than we might expect. A quick follow up text after spending time together will often go a long way.

Libra (September 23–October 23) -

The keepers of the peace of the zodiac, Libras are great at getting along with others. Sometimes they can be a little too passive even, so don't be afraid to delve.

© Shutterstock

Libra (September 23–October 23) -

Libra is also the most romantic sign of the zodiac, and that is not necessarily limited to romantic relationships, but fraternal as well.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18) -

People born under Aquarius love bringing everyone together. They are the first to make sure everyone at the table has a chance to make their voice heard.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18) -

But Aquarians are likely to shut themselves off from the family if no one returns the favor, so be sure to sit back and take the time to find out what they think.

Water signs -

The water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are the most in tune with their emotions. They are very sensitive and thoughtful, sometimes even to a fault.

© Shutterstock

Cancer (June 22–July 22) -

Cancer siblings are extremely sensitive and therefore tend to be very nurturing; they probably try to take care of you, no matter whether they're older or younger.

© Shutterstock

Cancer (June 22–July 22) -

Cancer brothers and sisters tend to bruise easily, so they often have their guard up for protection. A little extra emotional effort goes a long way with these folks.

© Shutterstock

Scorpio (October 24–November 21) -

Scorpio is a smart, intellectual sign that loves an investigative challenge. They are great at uncovering secrets, so don't be surprised if your Scorpio sibling rats you out.

© Shutterstock

Scorpio (October 24–November 21) -

They also tend to love deep conversations and get a lot out of them. So if you have a Scorpio sibling, make sure you carve out some time to talk and hear their thoughts.

© Shutterstock

Pisces (February 19–March 20) -

Pisces is the dreamer of the zodiac, and people born under this sign feel emotions very strongly. They are also very open to change, but they struggle to stick to routine.

© Shutterstock

Pisces (February 19–March 20) -

If you have a Pisces sibling who seems a little (or a lot) absent-minded, help them out by implementing some structure in their life and planning to meet at the same time each week.

Earth signs - And, finally, the earth signs, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. These signs love their material possessions, although they tend to be very down to earth and practical.

© Shutterstock

Taurus (April 20–May 20) -

Taurus sometimes comes across as materialistic, but really this sign just loves its possessions because of the memories and connections they hold.

© Shutterstock

Taurus (April 20–May 20) -

They tend to be pretty down to earth, our Taurus siblings, so appealing to their fifth sense is a good bet. We're talking a gift of essential oils, candles, etc.

© Shutterstock

Virgo (August 23–September 22) -

The most detail-oriented sign of the zodiac, Virgo is hardworking and meticulous. A good mantra for Virgo is "if you're going to do something, make sure you do it right."

© Shutterstock

Virgo (August 23–September 22) -

When they connect with spirituality, Virgos tend to go all in, and so they often get pretty seriously into yoga. Going to a class together can be a good way to connect.

© Shutterstock

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

Caps have a reputation for being cutthroat and ambitious. In reality, however, they are a lot more sensitive than we think. They are also strong advocates of tradition.

© Shutterstock

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

If, for whatever reason, you won't be able to make it to family dinner this weekend, make sure you tell your Capricorn sibling well in advance.
