Celebrity sisters Kim and Kyle Richards have had a tumultuous relationship over their time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and one possible explanation is their respective Virgo and Capricorn zodiac signs. Being two of the original RHOBH cast members, fans have had front-row seats for Kim and Kyle's best and worst sisterly moments including bonding, fighting, and several exhausting limo rides. While the duo of Earth zodiac placements can attest to the shared sensible nature of the Richards sisters, the differences between the Virgo and Capricorn Sun signs clarify the challenges Kim and Kyle have faced trying to mend their friendship.
Kim Richards was born on September 19, 1964, in Mineola, NY landing her toward the end of Virgo season. Virgo is a mutable sign that is symbolized by "the Maiden." Strengths strongly associated with Virgos include being hard-working, loyal, and kind. Kim Richards exhibited her hardworking nature in her early childhood when she would provide for her family as a child star in films like Escape to Witch Mountain. Kim has also conveyed her devout loyalty to the friends she bonded with on Housewives, such as Brandi Glanville. Although Kim is reportedly no longer speaking to Brandi over racy rumors that surfaced about the pair, Kim stood by Glanville's side as she faced criticism from fellow cast members, including her sister, Kyle. Additionally, Kim's ability to maintain a relationship with her sister through their myriad of public peaks and valleys speaks to the former housewife's dependability.
Kyle Richards was born on January 11, 1969, in Hollywood, CA. Squarely in the middle of Capricorn season, Kyle's Sun placement is a Cardinal Earth sign symbolized by "the Sea-Goat." Capricorns are famous for being responsible, disciplined, and efficient managers. The on-screen dynamic between the Richards sisters always conveyed Kyle as the more responsible of the two, as the younger sibling would often act as a caretaker for Kim when she needed support. Kyle's effective managing skills can be easily identified in the star's estimated $100 million net worth. Beyond monetary means, Richards has done a great job spearheading the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast through all of its iterations since season one.
While the Richards sisters' Virgo and Capricorn Sun signs represent the very best and most compatible features of these familial housewives, the distinctions between the two Earth zodiac placements help explain the stormy waters Kim and Kyle have faced over the years. First off, the most common gripe other signs have with Capricorns is their tendency to be condescending. Kyle has been known to talk down to her older sister, most notably in the infamous season one limo ride in which Kyle yells at Kim and exposes her struggles with alcohol. On the other hand, Virgo signs like Kim are notoriously bad at asking for help. Unfortunately, Kim Richards has an aptitude for getting herself into trouble, like when the housewife fled from UCLA hospital before getting any tests done. Kim's avoidance of her issues is often combatted by Kyle's know-it-all supervision (a signature of the Capricorn mold), resulting in the toxic merry-go-round fans of RHOBH have witnessed for the past decade.
Ultimately, the unique bond of the Richards sisters accurately reflects that of the relationship between the Virgo and Capricorn zodiac signs. Kim's unyielding nature and Kyle's habit to control everything around her consistently culminates in the destructive fights recorded on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Luckily, the shared practicality of the sisters' signs makes Virgo and Capricorn placements highly compatible and promises there is always hope for Kim and Kyle's relationship.
