Here’s looking at some zodiac rakhis – yes, they’re a thing! – and why they are one of the best ways to show your sibling love this year.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
The Aries sign symbolises people who are bold, passionate and zesty. Does your Aries brother have a fiery and exciting personality? Look for bolder hues in his Zodiac sign rakhi, such as a flashing scarlet with elements of ram horns or fire. Other colours to buy include gold or deep orange to reflect this fire sign.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus is a sign grounded in the Earth, with high regard for beauty. For Taurean brothers, we recommend rakhis in earthy tones of brown, beige or green, finished in a luxurious design of semi-precious stones or precious metals. A bull horn accent is ideal in the design.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
The twin sign of the Zodiac is also its most playful. Gemini brothers are witty, creative and often contradictory in their behaviour and likes. Buy unique silver rakhi designs for Gemini brothers to underline their Zodiac calling, preferably in two colours or textures. Zodiac rakhis in contrasting or abstract patterns are also fine.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Cancerean brothers are stoic but deeply emotional, generous but strict. Honour this duality and softness in his nature with a pastel-colour Zodiac rakhi finished with silver or pearl accents. Motifs signifying this water sign, like the crab or a crescent moon work beautifully when choosing astrological rakhi designs for him.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Leos are brave leaders, always regal and fiery. Leo brothers will love a Zodiac rakhi that accentuates their traits, such as gold or deep maroon rakhis with accents of fire, the Sun or lions in metallic finish. The rakhi must look and feel luxurious and personify your brother’s attractive personality.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
The minimalist of the Zodiac, Virgo symbolises cleanliness, purity and beauty. When buying astrological rakhi designs for Virgo brothers, go for elegant designs that are symmetrical and simple. Colours to choose include earthy tones like green, soft blue or beige, with a geometric abstract design showing the Earth.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
A typical Libran is all about balance, goodwill and charm of manner. Libran brothers can easily be paired with Zodiac rakhis in soft colours like lavender or baby pink, with accents in bright contrasting shades like teal. Look for mandalas, weighing scales or motifs showing duality in thought to personify the yin and yang in his nature.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
The most intense sign of the Zodiac, Scorpio is full of mystery, power and an appreciation of beauty. Zodiac rakhi designs for Scorpio lean heavily on dark colours like burgundy and deep purple. These rakhis have a slightly edgy embellishment in the form of a scorpion sting or snake. Make sure the rakhi looks dramatic and not over the top.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarius is the most fun sign of the Zodiac, and your Sagittarian brother will be easy to buy a rakhi for. Look for rakhis in bright, playful colours like teal, violet and sunshine yellow. However, bring in the Sagittarius element with design motifs like arrows, to signify his love for moving around, exploring the world and always looking forward in life.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
If your brother is a typical Capricorn, then he values tradition, reliability and steadfastness. Choose a rakhi in classic styles with minimal embellishment, in colours like dark green and charcoal.
Rakhis finished with small beads or leather tassels are perfect for him, with a goat motif to indicate his Zodiac sign. You can easily buy Rakhi online in these timeless designs to match his grounded personality.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarians are not easy to decipher, often showing mild eccentric impulses with a fierce free spirit that cannot be tamed. Free as the air, your Aquarian brother will love a light rakhi that sits easily on his wrist, sporting a brilliant shade of blue or metallic tones. If you find a Zodiac rakhi with an offbeat, abstract design, it is best suited for him since it matches his unpredictability.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Pisceans close the Zodiac, firmly opposed to the lithe energy of Aries with their dreaminess and soulful outlook. Pick an astrological rakhi design in a soft pastel shade like bone green or ocean blue to indicate your Piscean brother’s inclination for beauty, water and vulnerability.
We hope the stars guide your choice this Raksha Bandhan and reinforce your love for your brother in the deepest way.
