Aquarius

Please note that this is a general guide to your compatibility with other Star Signs, based purely on your Sun and doesn't take other factors into account. A Time Together Report or a Togetherness Report provides more details on the dynamics of your particular relationship.

No ordinary love affair will do for a Sign that doesn't like things to be ordinary. When it comes to love, it's anything that sets a person or the relationship apart from the norm that will attract an Aquarian. Fiercely independent and always wanting to do things in their own way, an Aquarian is likely to go for an eccentric or unusual love affair. Everything about your Aquarian says 'I'm not like everyone else' and it's as though they have to prove it with everything they do, from the way they look and dress, to the way they approach love. They love to snub their nose at conformity and just love to go for the shock factor.

As an Air Sign much of the way they operate takes place in their head, so when it comes to love they need someone that is just as individual and independent, but can also meet them on an intellectual level. It's a meeting of minds, not a meeting of hearts that will turn an Aquarian on.

Aquarians have wonderful ideas that they love to share, ideas that may have little or no relation to reality. So their cosmic mates often try and point out to them, how impractical some of them are. Aquarians fly with their minds though and they explore possibilities. They're not supposed to be practical ideas and to have cold water poured over them would mean that an Aquarian could never fall in love with someone too practical. They're idealists out to save the world and they need a mate who will be their tether to reality, but at the same time won't hold them down.

As a 'fixed' Sign Aquarians often have very strong opinions that are very hard to get them to budge from and while they love to indulge in pipe dreams themselves, they don't always afford their partners the same luxury. Aquarians also have a reputation for being icy or cold when it comes to love, but that's not true. They certainly don't wear their emotions on their sleeves and they often seem preoccupied with their own ideas, but they are far from being cold or unfeeling. In fact they're often so loving and caring that it frightens them, so they put up a defence or an aloof facade. They're not made of ice, but sometimes they put up a wall of ice for protection.

As a Sign Aquarians can place friends over lovers, who they often put at arms length and because they are such people people, usually having a strong group of friends around them. Friendship is important to an Aquarian so they often don't see the need to have a personal relationship, preferring sometimes, the lack of complications that comes from just being friends, with no string attached. When they do fall in love, they need to find a lover that understands that just because they're around, doesn't mean they'll be spending any less time with their friends. Friendship will always be important to them and for some Signs this might be a little hard to handle, resulting in jealousy or hurt feelings which the Aquarian just doesn't 'get', so isn't usually too understanding about.

When there is a meeting of minds and a real friendship, then physical love and chemistry develops. For an Aquarian it's got to be in that order, for lovers come and go, but friends are forever. If you're a friend, as well as a lover, then you'll have a companion for life. These aren't the easiest of creatures to love, for they're often off in their own world, but if you can manage to tie them down, or better still, go along for the ride, you'll find one of the most exciting and stimulating of lovers.

Compatibility

The most compatible Sign for an Aquarian, is a fellow Air Sign, for it's an Air Sign that will be able to join them in sharing ideas and be able to take part in a meeting of minds. Aquarians need to connect on a mental level and either a Gemini or a Libran will be able to do just that. With either you're able to enjoy all stages of the love game, from flirting all the way through to pillow talk. It's talking for hours, about ideas, dreams, hopes and plans that will help cement your love.

Gemini is the ruler of your romantic sector, so there is a loving and romantic bond between you two. You have a respect for the quick thinking Gemini, but also for the loving Libran, who is bound to share some of your more idealistic ideas.

Opposites always attract, so you'll find a Leo inexplicably irresistible. They'll provide a challenge and their hot headedness may be a foreign concept to you, but they'll fascinate you and draw you in like a moth to a flame. Here, Fire and Ice combine to create steam!

Other Signs that you should consider are Aries and Virgo. Though neither are Air Signs they are great ideas people. Aries will allow you to dream and will encourage your ideas, no matter how impractical they may seem. On the other hand, practical Virgo could be just the antidote you need and could be the perfect partner. Virgos are practical and love to communicate. If you can form a partnership where you create the ideas and your Virgo lover creates the plan to put them into motion, you could have found your perfect soul mate.

Your neighbouring Signs, Pisces and Capricorn are likely to have some of their personal planets in Aquarius. This doesn't always happen, but if you find a connection between either of these Signs you could have more in common than you think you have. This could bring a surprise connection that because of their very different personalities could add a real richness and diversity to your connection.

Above all else, you need someone who can understand that you are unique, a one off original that can't be labelled or put in a box. They've got to let you be an individual and while they'll always have your heart, they won't always have your undivided attention.

In a nutshell:

Aquarius and Aries: Life will never be dull with a couple that are friends as well as lovers. They'll continue to fascinate each other and both will think that they're the lucky one.

Aquarius and Taurus: Nothing is impossible with this couple. Poles apart, once together they'll form a dynamic couple. Each becomes a different person around the other.

Aquarius and Gemini: These Signs are so complementary and so good for each other that they'll fail to notice their differences. Each has so much to offer the other.

Aquarius and Cancer: This couple make great friends, but both will have to compromise to allow a romantic relationship to work. A slow approach will allow the warmth to build.

Aquarius and Leo: While a battle of wills will exist between opposing Signs, this couple are inexplicably drawn to each other. Never dull, they'll continually push each other.

Aquarius and Virgo: There are so many differences in this couple, that they'll either be drawn or repelled by each other. There'll be no shades of grey. It's all or nothing.

Aquarius and Libra: As Air Signs these two have a lot in common and will share a stimulating relationship. Love is likely to come from a meeting of minds and mutual appreciation.

Aquarius and Scorpio: Scorpios’ introverted and emotional ways make it hard to find a match with Aquarius’ unemotional and extroverted ways. With patience and understanding, it could work.

Aquarius and Sagittarius: This is an odd couple, but it is their very differences and each ones unwillingness to conform, that draws them to each other. Neither likes conformity.

Aquarius and Capricorn: While Capricorn is far too serious for eccentric Aquarius, they have a lot to offer each other. Love is likely as each sees in the other, what they lack or feel is missing.

Aquarius and Aquarius: This is a dazzling couple, likely to be at the centre of an active social group. Though not the most romantic and passionate of couples, they're a perfect match.

Aquarius and Pisces: This is a very caring and compassionate couple that is likely to work very well, or not at all. There is the potential here for a very deep and philosophical bond.
