Twins Born Under the Same Sign

Whether you approach it from a genetic or an astrological viewpoint, the study of twins is a fascinating subject. Typically born within minutes of each other, one would assume that they would be identically influenced by their astrology in every way, but this is actually not the case.

In addition, biologically, twins share the same womb for nine months and almost always share the same birthday. Some twins are very similar in nature, while others form very different personalities, but they all tend to share a psychic connection that most scientists can’t explain.

Metaphysically, these two souls choose to come into the world together, so they are bound by heart and spirit far beyond their physical similarities.

One study I read involved a set of twins who were separated at birth. Even though they did not grow up together, their lives tended to mirror each other’s. The research showed that their preferences, life experiences, career choices, homes, and even the names and number of their children and pets were remarkably similar. This demonstrates how astrologically, they were influenced to identical destinies, even though they grew up unaware of each other.

Twins develop their own personalities as they grow. Even though they share the same birthday, twins can be very different from one another. One may be an extrovert, while the other tends to be shy. One may excel at academics, while the other tends to be less serious and more creative. Even being born on the same day with the same astrological makeup, there is a reason for this.

Each sign of the zodiac has different attributes. Twins, being two halves of a whole, may each display traits of a particular Sun sign. For example, Aries is associated with assertiveness, ambition and determination. It also embodies the traits of loyalty, hard work and frugality. So, while one Aries twin might be an entrepreneur and always challenging him or herself with higher goals, the other may carry a reputation for being a dependable and reliable long-term employee, happy to work under the direction of someone else.

Another example I see quite often in my astrological practice are twins that are under blended sign. For example, if you were born under the sign of Cancer, but during the month of June (generally associated with Gemini), you will be influenced by both signs. Many people born during the last 10 to 12 days of a month will actually operate as a blended sign by integrating the traits of both their own sun sign and the sign associated with the month they were born. Cancers are typically defined as sensitive, emotional, creative and introverted. They love to cook and garden. Geminis are intellectual. They can have difficulty making up their minds and tend to be extroverts. They love communication and variety.

The wonderful thing about twins is that they are psychically connected in every way, but are still free to grow and develop into individuals with unique tastes. Even though they share the same Sun sign and planetary positions at the time of birth, they are not limited by their zodiac sign, for each one has a unique soul and pre-ordained destiny to follow.
