What if your zodiac sign could unlock a secret connection to the mythical world? Imagine your star chart aligning the mystical creatures of Filipino folklore. The result becomes a match that’s not just cosmic but legendary.

Here’s your ultimate guide to discovering your zodiac’s mythical match, inspired by Filipino folklore. From Tikbalangs to Diwatas, let’s find out which creature aligns in your astrological energy.


Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): The Sirena

Traits: Innovative, independent, humanitarian  


The Sirena, a mythical mermaid, embodies Aquarius’ desire for freedom and for breaking societal norms. With its alluring song and boundless curiosity, the Sirena reflects the unconventional forward-thinking, and free-spirited nature of Aquarius.


Pisces (February 19 – March 20): The Tiyanak

Traits: Dreamy, empathetic, dual-natured


Pisces’ emotional depth and duality mirrored the Tiyanak, a creature that lures people with its baby-like cries. Both Pisces and the Tiyanak are known for their ability to adapt and connect deeply with the emotions of others.


Aries (March 21 – April 19): The Tikbalang

Traits: Bold, confident, competitive


The Tikbalang, a half-horse, half-human guardian of the forest, mirrors Aries’ headstrong and adventurous nature. Known for its fiery energy, the Tikbalang challenges anyone brave enough to enter its domain-–much like Aries, who thrive on overcoming challenges head-on.


Taurus (April 20 – May 20): The Kapre

Traits: Grounded, indulgent, patient


Kapre are tree-dwelling giants who embody Taurus’ love for relaxation and deep connection to nature. Often depicted as smoking cigars and enjoying life’s simple pleasures, the Kapre perfectly captures Taurus’ preference for the finer and slower things in life. 

 

Gemini (May 21 – June 21): The Duwende

Traits: Curious, mischievous, adaptable


Like Geminis, Duwendes are known for their unpredictable duality—they can bring either good fortune or mischief depending on how they’re treated. These small, magical beings thrive on curiosity and interaction, making them a perfect match for the zodiac’s social butterfly.


Cancer (June 22 – July 22): The White Lady

Traits: Emotional, intuitive, protective



The White Lady, often associated with sorrowful hauntings, resonates with Cancer’s deep emotional connection to the past. While both are protective and nurturing, they can also be overwhelming in their intensity, much like this spectral figure.  


Leo (July 23 – August 22): The Nuno sa Punso

Traits: Charismatic, proud, protective


The Nuno sa Punso is a respected guardian of its territory, just as Leo, who fiercely protects its pride and domain. Though small in stature, the Nuno demands respect and can unleash its wrath if slighted—much like Leo’s roaring response to disrespect.


Virgo (August 23 – September 22): The Aswang

Traits: Analytical, resourceful, mysterious


Virgos’ sharp intellect and the ability to adapt to their surroundings mirrored the cunning Aswang. This infamous creature leads a dual life—appearing perfectly normal by day but hunting by night. Its meticulous and strategic nature reflects Virgo’s analytical tendencies and its ability to blend into different situations. 


Libra (September 23 – October 23): The Diwata

Traits: Charming, harmonious, diplomatic


The ethereal Diwata, known for its beauty and grace, aligns with Libra’s love for balance and harmony. Diwatas bring blessings to those who honor nature and symbolize the fair and just qualities that define this sign.


Scorpio (October 24 – November 21): The Manananggal

Traits: Intense, transformative, mysterious


Scorpios’ enigmatic energy and focus on transformation perfectly match the Manananggal, a creature known for its ability to separate its upper body to hunt at night. Both are symbols of power, mystery, and profound metamorphosis.


Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): The Ibong Adarna

Traits: Adventurous, optimistic, wise


Sagittarius thrives on discovery, and the Ibong Adarna represents a quest for truth and enlightenment. This mythical bird, whose song can heal and rejuvenate, is a fitting emblem for the zodiac’s philosophical wonder.


Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): The Higante

Traits: Disciplined, ambitious, authoritative


Capricorns’ towering ambition and commanding presence align with the Higante, a giant associated with strength and dominance. Just like this creature, Capricorns work tirelessly to achieve their goals and maintain their authority.
